Tampon Problems?

[TxDoc]

Did the search for Diva Cups and found info on them as well as what I used to use, the Instead Cups. I used to be only able to find those when we'd travel to Canada. Once I found them at a store on clearance, and the pharmacist said they were outlawing them in the U.S., well, found the Diva Cups at a local Mother's Market Store and the Instead at a local Rite-Aid...I'm set! Thank you so much...I'm back at it! Gonna' ride tonight to makeup for the loss of the ride this morning!!!

I always use the instead softcups - since they came on the market. Never had a problem, but I do admit that I have always had a very light period. Anyway, they are not being outlowed that I know of, we find them in every pharmacy depatment. And their website has loads of info for first-time users.
Good luck!

Okay. I took the Diva dive. Should be here in a few days. Just in time for Aunt Flo. I am eager to give it a try.

Practice once before the unwelcome Aunt arrives - if can be a little tricky. It still "pops" on me when getting it out on occasion. Can hurt momentarily. Of course, I take the BC pills continuously, so she visits 1-2x per year now

+1 jumping on the Diva Cup bandwagon. Thanks to TE, this month I tried something I had never even heard of before, and had a great experience. It took me a few tries to work out proper insertion and placement, but I think over time it will become second nature. There was a bit of an "ick" factor when I first tried it, but it's really no ickier than any other method...it's just different from what I was used to.

I think someone in this thread has already linked to the TE Diva Cup thread (or just do a search). It's definitely a "must read" for anyone wanting to try this product.

BTW my local Whole Foods doesn't carry them, but I found them at Central Market (an upscale version of our local grocery chain).
