Re: thongs
Fair enough.

I go back and forth on thongs, because to me and some people, thongs can feel like what would happen if the 'creep' with regular underwear over one 'cheek' happened with both.

They can be pretty freeing, too, though, which is why I go back and forth on 'em. Very nice in the summer, though.

Run It- Right on with the 'waste' thing. Cups are totally worth it (if you can get 'em to work) but I end up using pads, too, on heavier days b/c sometimes it's "just not enough" or you just need that little bit of insurance (khaki pants at work, anyone?)

Could any of the thong-worshipers tell me if the thong-designed pads actually work? There's so little there, I can only imagine them being there for 'insurance' but not doing much there, and needing to be swapped out pretty quickly.

I wear the cup @ night (pretty much 24/7 that whole week) and for the first half have to have a backup diaper pad, too (yay) so I guess for 3 days out of the month, I have to go back to diaper days.
