    now i have tried the product "instead" with no luck...in fact it actually worked but i couldn't get it out!!!!!

    i see that alot of women are having issues with the device (mooncup/diva cup...etc) being too long which leads me to believe that i must be long on the inside...being so short you would not think so

    so that is a good idea to try the "instead" but i must say again & again...once you get the hang of it (and the right fit by cutting off the tip) it is a wonderful, wonderful invention!!!!

    I, also, have tried the Instead product. Had no luck! It would NOT stay in, no matter how carefully I inserted it and followed the directions. I finally decided I must either be oddly shaped or just not long enough inside to hold the little bugger. So I gave up and went back to tampons. With any luck, I WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT too much longer. I am SO ready for menopause. There has to be something good about getting older......... Not bleeding every month would be one of the good things.

    Corsair - are they latex or silicone? I'm considering returning the Diva cup and trying the mooncup, but this might be another option. I contorted myself in the shower (which was a much less messier option), but it still didn't work. I'm still sold on the idea, I think I just need a shorter one.

    And... {{it's FishDrs fault}} - baahaaahaahaaa - it's infectious. That was a good one BTW

    ummmm not a clue! it's some soft somethingy on the edge and then has a catch basin made out of somethingy else. (good thing there aren't any men here - all this technical jargon would leave them confused and searching for their "tech talk for dummies" book) It might be worth a try, the catch basin is structured Much differently than the Diva which is why I'm thinking it's more comfortable - but then I never tried the Diva.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Try the website for the Instead Cups...www.softcup.com ...for more info.

    From the website:

    Q: Does the INSTEAD® Softcup® have any latex?

    A: No, there is absolutely no latex used anywhere in INSTEAD® Softcup®. The INSTEAD® Softcup® reservoir is made of Polyethylene.

    I've never managed to find these, but I'm so happy with the diva, I haven't gone looking either...
