I'm gonna try the cup. If it is cleaner than tampons then I'm sold. Had my tubes tied with my last daughter so no need for birth control all though having a period once a year is a pretty sweet deal I think. I'm always concerned though about messing with nature that way. My older daughter has issues in that department and her specialist told me about Mirena too. Looked into it but was hoping for a hysterectomy first. lol
