If you've ever thought about trying cloth pads

[zoom-zoom]

I might try the moon cup. I can feel the Diva inside me and it's very uncomfortable (it's not the stem, it's that it is just uncomfortable when inserted. Does that make sense? I've tried SO many different insertion folds and twists and turns and whatnot. Just not comfy.

I tried the Diva Cup and also found it to be uncomfortable...it was too big. So then I tried the US Mooncup--it was comfy, but it leaked all around. After blowing $80 I gave up experimenting with the cups.

I do use the disposable Instead cups if it's TOM when I have a long ride or race (since I don't have issues with those, other than the trash factor), but stick with tampons or pantyliners, otherwise. The washable ones have been on my radar for a while. I should really give them a try. Pantyliners are really $$$ over time.

It took me 2 years to muster the courage to buy and try the mooncup and I never looked back. First few times were trial and error and there were a few bad accidents. about leaking all around, when I initially placed the cup, I didnt know the tip of my cervix was outside the rim, so it kept leaking around of course, so just make sure thats sorted. As for the stem, I cut it off entirely and its still easy to grip and pull out. I love the mooncup and I really dont miss pads at all.

Thanks so much for posting this! I don't know why I never looked into cloth pads before.

I've considered a cup on numerous occasions (even bought one), but my flow is virtually non-existent that it seemed overkill. On my heaviest day (which is just one day), I can get away with the smallest tampon OB makes and even then, I don't fill it. Some months, I just use panty liners the whole time and it's fine (but wasteful). This sounds like the perfect solution for me.

I use Instead cups off and on. I realize I'm still throwing something away...and probably something that will NEVER leave the planet, but there are times when you just need a cup over a plug.

got my PIMP liner today- that was some speedy shipping! It's SO cute!! I got the cotton, but I think if I order again I'll order the fannel. It wraps up so tiny and they wrapped a little mini organic dark chocolate piece inside- and a handwritten thank you. How cool! It's small companies that have such personal customer service that really make me want to do business with them (I feel the same about TE). I'll be ordering more from them for sure!!
