Tampons and pads, but I'm ready for something else.

I use my diva cup and cloth pads.
I sometimes have lots of pressure during my periods so those days I feel better using the cloth pads, but the cup is amazing.
I have tried to make my mom, sisters, and aunts switch to cloth or the cup, but no one will go for it.

I bought my cup december of 07 and started buying my pads right after that.
Now I never have to spend any money on that time of the month again.
And I am helping the environment!

If anyone is on the fence about buying a cup or switching to cloth pads, I say do it!
I am so glad I did and I will never go back.

I use tampons. I can't stand pads. I've been wanting to get a diva cup for a while though. They sell them at the sex shop on my school campus too.

That is the only up side to getting old one day I won't get my period!Although that is still many years from now seeing as how I'm only 30.

Tampons leak less so I like them better.

When I used to have a period, I used tampons. I had surgery and no more surgery for me, thank god.

I need to make some reusable pads, because I hate buying disposable ones every month.

I just started using Softcup, and may never go back to anything else. It's easy in and easy out and can be left in for up to 12 hours and worn during sex.
