Wow, I am feeling so naive.

I've never heard of any of these before. Yeah - I wish I had known about this before I reached a stage in my life where I really don't need them anymore!

Do they hurt to get in and out? No


Can you get them in stores? Yes

Are they sanitary? Very


Actually I found the Instead cup way more comfortable than using a tampon ever was.

I bought the Instead cups at my local grocery store. You should be able to get them at a Wal-Greens or something like or your local health store.

They are as sanitary as you keep them, I wash my Instead cup under hot water and make sure it's clean before reinserting.

You can't buy the Diva/Moon Cup in the stores (I don't think) but the websites are located here within this thread. I tried the Instead cup first to see if I would like it and was very pleased. The Instead will tell you to use once and toss but I would rinse mine out and reuse them just like a Diva or Moon Cup. Only 1 per cycle but still it was cheaper than buying tampons all the time.
