    I swear by my menstrual cup! It doesn't hurt. And it's no more gross than a tampon.

    yea, and it was pretty gross! It didn't really hurt though, but it was way more interaction with my private parts than I want during that time! I will say though that it saved my anniversary trip when my "friend" came early just to ruin the weekend, which I why I broke down and bought it, and it totally worked for that!

    I've been using the menstrual cup for 6 years now and I will NEVER go back. Just the idea of putting on tampon grosses me out.
    Since the blood is not condensed and old, it doesn't smell and this is not gross. You have to get used to it because it's a little bit larger than a tampon but after a while you don't feel it. Msg me if you have more questions!

    It freaking rocks! I will never go back and have converted about 6 other women to it. everyone says the same thing! you have to get over the slightly more interaction when using it as apposed to tampons. but it's well worth it. I just do the changing and cleaning in the shower. easy peasy! And it saves loads of money!

    I know that Mooncup in the UK, have a no quibble returns policy if you don't like it. but the testimonials speak for themselves.

    Yes you can sleep and swim in it no problem. You just empty and clean it every 12 hours. and once you get used it putting it in right they don't leak, or dry you out.

    It sounds interesting however I am an extremely heavy bleeder on day 2 & 3. so much so that i will go thru 5 or 6 or more overnight pads in a day & still manage to leak :(
    Any heavy bleeders out there use them?
