I don't consider my periods "super" heavy, but I do have one day per cycle where I found that I had to change the Diva Cup once during the work day (10+ hours including my commute), In a public restroom, that was just too difficult. I had the problem others have mentioned of messy hands and no way to get my undies and pants back up and get to a sink without worrying about blood getting here and there. I tried taking a water bottle into the stall to wash off with, but that was too hard to remember and execute. I like the idea of the cup for environmental reasons, but one day a month, it just doesn't work for me for this reason -- I went back to tampons.Originally Posted by Grog

I second the Instead cup. With it, there's no tail, no suction, just a much easier way to deal with a period!

Wow!
I am so happy to hear that these cups have become so popular. I only have irregular periods now, every 3 months, 6 months or whatever. (I am 49) So I don't think I will invest in one of these.
There was a disposable cup I tried (Is it called Instead?) But it leaked for me whenever I changed posture.
I am so glad that there is that much less dioxin in the water, from all you lovely ladies using these cups.
