The only caution on a menstrual cup is if you use an IUD (i.e., Mirena or ParaGuard). Technically you aren't supposed to use a cup with an IUD. My sister does and hasn't had any issues - but I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to those types of things.
I have a Mirena and generally do not have my period more than once a year. And it's lighter. And I have to think about birth control every 5 years.
I also have not yet taken the plunge into riding "correctly." Thinking this year may be the year to give it a go.

I'm gonna try the cup. If it is cleaner than tampons then I'm sold. Had my tubes tied with my last daughter so no need for birth control all though having a period once a year is a pretty sweet deal I think. I'm always concerned though about messing with nature that way. My older daughter has issues in that department and her specialist told me about Mirena too. Looked into it but was hoping for a hysterectomy first. lol
