I used to use the Instead. A little hidden secret!
Also, FYI, i think tampax changed their tampons. I hate them now. I can feel them and they are uncomfortable. I went to Playtex sport. Much better.

I might have to search for the Diva cup. I can't wear tampons and my solution is to take a pair of 'on their way out' shorts and well, there is a big chamois in there. It does wash out completely but any slippage from a tampon shouldn't matter...I have to figure something out for tomorrow (thanks for the reminder!) because dear auntie F showed up and I have a mtb ride and maxi pads are like sandpaper..ugh...

Back in the day when I needed them
I used the Playtex Super tampons.... no mess, no fuss, no problems.
I have never heard of the Diva or Instead cups!

I wonder why they are outlawing Instead in the US?
I use (and re-use) them exclusively, now.
Probably Tampax has a lobbyist on the hill or sumthin'.I can do five more miles.

They're not outlawing them from any information I could find.
For some strange reason
it's common for rumors like that to circulate about various empowering, environmentally friendly devices that women put in our vaginas (menstrual cups, cervical caps).
But it's disappointing you would hear it from a pharmacist, who ought to know better, or at least verify before repeating a rumor like that.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Wasn't it the Today sponge that went by the wayside? I can't remember why, I think it was too costly for the company to continue making them due to the FDA regs. I remember my friends a few years back having me go into every drug store around and buying them up. I had to laugh because I had never used one and here I was buying boxes of them.
I'm definately on a hunt for the Diva cup now. I remember seeing it advertised once and never saw it for sale anywhere. I think I also thought it might be a little sketchy but ya know, it's time to try something new.
Yeah anything that goes up the vagina must be some kind of mysterious voodoo element, especially something that can be re-used. Whatever. Don't get me started on that!
