I started using softcups a few weeks ago. I really like them because for me they really are so comfortable. Most days I leave it in 10 hrs and its still not full. As long as you hook under it and pull out flat against the floor you won't get any spills. I don't get leakage but I wear carefree liners anyways just in case. I'm looking into getting a Lunette soon and a Feurcup when I go to Paris this summer.

Everyone is using DivaCups! Maybe I should try them? Only thing is I hear they aren't firm and can move and unseal easily. Plus the ridges on the body looks uncomfortable.

I'm kind of curious about it, I've heard good reviews about the DivaCup and I'd definitely love to save the money/environmental issues with disposable pads and tampons.

Love my DivaCup. You'd need a size 2. Start checking babysteals.com. They have them occasionally and will probably have them before you get your period back.

I've seen tons of people raving about menstrual cups but I've been apprehensive to try one as I'm not really sure HOW the blood stays in there without leaking. It kind of confuses me.

You can learn lots and lots about cups at this site, the menstrual cups livejournal.

I wanted to use it, but I have such a sensitive G-spot that I can feel even the slimmest tampons inside me. I couldn't get used to the cup, and had a hard time getting it in and out. So I gave up. I think it's a wonderful idea though. Wish it worked for me.

(Actually, if I'm getting menstruation related wishes, I wish my perimenopause would hurry up and turn into menopause and be done. )

I tried it a few times, it was a waste of money for me because it hurt twenty times as worse as a tampon, and the pain/discomfort never subsided over time. I love the concept behind it, and love that other women love it, but it's unfortunately not for me.

Forgot to mention I was using Diva Cup. I was so excited for it because it came with such a cute little pouch and it's own cleanser. I would recommend it if it's available to you at a nearby health market.

Never used or heard of this before

a blog that i follow told her experience about one and it was actually positive! i just dont think i could do it...

I've never tried one but have heard of them before. Interesting concept to be sure, but not something I'd likely try out anytime soon.

I really want to try a menstural cup but I'm still looking into what kind to get. They seems so easy to me.

I use a diva cup and love it. I don't need any lube at all to insert it and I always wash it well. I have to wear two super tampons if I'm not using the cup!

It is also cheaper to use and environmentally friendly.

I ordered my fleurcup from france thru a friend. Can't wait to get it. I went ahead and got a meluna medium and they sent a large too! Two cups for $28 usd including shipping is awesome. I got the hange of the seal but it was not easy. I can't wait to try my fleurcup. It looks like a tulip or something

I'm not sure but I think you can get both meluna, lunette and fleurcup in the US now. I just googled the sites and they all ship here. I just can't find a fleurcup approved seller that's sales them so you have to order directly thru their site. If you want any other cups I know that zapas and femine wear sales lunette, diva and meluna. From what I have read lunette small and fleucup small are the.best for woman who have shallow or narrow vaginas. They have deep cups so they hold as much as a diva cup large but are more comfortable. My meluna medium is a great size but it doesn't do well with heavier days. The large handles it well but it is more known when worn.

no way.

I use the DivaCup and reviewed it a few years ago. Still using it.

I don't think I would ever try them. It's just not my kind of thing.

I've had the DivaCup since August, and I love it! It took a few tries to master the insertion, but now it's a piece of cake. The only time I've had a leakage problem was my last cycle, which was freakishly heavy. I'm not saying that someone with a heavy flow couldn't use the cup; I was just caught by surprise because I'm used to only emptying it once a day (which is awesome compared to using 3 or more tampons/day). It doesn't slip around or come loose or anything. Insertion is as simple as folding the cup, sticking it in, giving it a little twist to seal and pushing it further in. With a little practice, you can tell when it's not quite right.

Honestly, my favorite part about is that I just feel cleaner. It seemed that no matter how diligent I was about changing tampons regularly, I just never felt very fresh during my period and I often ended up wearing panty liners anyway. Sure, emptying out the DivaCup the first few times had me in a state of "ewwwww," but something happened: my opinion of my period changed. It's really not such a freakish experience.

My green side also digs not creating so much trash anymore.

Someone already posted the LiveJournal link, which was THE most helpful place on the net. I chose a DivaCup after following the size charts on there. I bought mine from Amazon.com, which was selling it for $10 than my local health goods store.
