How green is my period?

You can lubricate the cup with water before inserting (just dunk the whole thing). Never tried a personal lubricant on it, but I wouldn't think most of them would interfere with the seal.

If you're not allergic to latex, there's also The Keeper. That's what I had until my dog ate it. I replaced it with a Diva Cup, which for me, never sealed as well and as comfortably as the Keeper.

I LOVE my Diva Cup!!! I learned about it from a discussion on a horse board that I go to and decided to give it a try, so glad that I did!

Footloose, the Diva cup holds a lot more fluid then a tampoon will so you will find you won't have to run and change things quite as often. If I remember right from the discussion on my horse board, one of the woman there had a similar problem and was very happy with the cup.

I know someone else mentioned it to but the hardest thing is learning when it is inserted properly. The only time I ever had any leakage was in the beginning when I was still learning how to use it. Once I figured that out I have never had a problem, and that is with biking, horseback riding, swimming, walking...never a problem.

The key to knowing it is inserted right is knowing how it should feel when it is in. I won't go into details on that here since it may be TMI for some but if you want to know more just send me a PM :-)
