I’m interested in purchasing this cup because of it’s pull tab, but I have read quite a few reviewer saying they have a problem with it opening. Can someone who has experience with this cup write about how they like it.

Which Meluna are you interested in? They have many different cup configurations - firm, soft, ring, traditional stem, ball stem, etc.

I have a Meluna cup but it's from over 10 years ago and so it's a slightly different design from what's available today. It's basically their mini with a ball stem. I never had any issues with opening it, as it was a medium firmness. If you get their soft cup or a larger size, you may have to work a bit more to get it to open fully.

I liked it for my light days. I stopped using it because it developed a tear on the inside right at the bottom. It was a very sharp and pointy bottom, and I flipped the cup inside out to clean the bottom better, but that just stressed the point until it tore. Not sure if they still make the mini with such a pointy inside. It definitely wouldn't be an issue with their larger cups.

I was interested in their highest capacity cup with the pull tab. Thank you for the response! I figured that this community won’t take off unless people start posting questions, that’s why I decided to post here.
