This?

http://divacup.com/

works *so* well. I've had more problems with tampons than I did with this, which is hella strange 'cause it's bigger.

And no leaks. o.0 whoa.

ps. Death Note Fans?? go talk to lierdumoa Right Now.

I've been looking into getting one, and was just going to ask my flist for opinions on them, so, uh, thanks! *g*

[permetaform]

hee! umm, tell me how much information on them you want and I could answer it here or in an email. They rock so much.

Hmmm, sounds interesting. I don't use tampons, coz I HATE waddling around while using them (think Molly Weasley), so are the divacups waddle-proof?

[permetaform]

well, I'm a tiny asian and I really can't feel it, it apparently sits lower than a tampon. There's definately no waddle you compare it to a pad. I read some testimonials that women who are hikers and stuff love them 'cause they can move around freely.

My roommate used one of those, and it got...uh...stuck. That was a weird five minutes of standing outside the stall door and asking, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just can't...how do you..."

"Any better?"

"Not really..."

[permetaform]

XD. did she try the help line?

[guede-mazaka.livejournal.com]

Well, it was actually an older version she'd gotten from her sister, so we didn't know there was a company making them. We just thought it was some homemade hippie thing (her sister's fond of those).

Would I be able to do karate in one of those? I'm just wondering because it seems kind of, uh, awkward.

[permetaform]

yup, people do sports in them and go hiking; no leaks.

do you have to change it in a public restroom or can you wait until you get home?

[permetaform]

??? huh? I usually put it in/ take it off in the shower, but you can change it in a public restroom, dump it, wipe it down with a tissue, and put it back in.

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

my best friend was pimping that at me, and i told her i'd think about it...

how much does it hold, and how often do you have to change/empty it?

[permetaform]

5 ounces, it's usually way less than half full when I take it out and I take it out twice a day when I shower. (most pads/tampons hold way less than 5 ounces)

I use the UK equivalent, the Mooncup, and I have to agree with you. The first few times I found it horrendously messy, and there's the issue of sterilising it in public kitchens, but. yayness.

[permetaform]

do you mean taking it out messyness or?

[kbk]

more putting it in, because I seemed to end up with fingers absolutely covered in blood

[reposoir.livejournal.com]

I'll stick to tampons, thanks. They work just wonderfully for me.

[permetaform]

? is it 'cause of the size?

[reposoir.livejournal.com]

I just like tampons.

[permetaform]

=) ahhh np then

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

It goes inside. Thus, I cannot use one. I appreciate the offer, though.

[permetaform]

ahhh

[ash-night.livejournal.com]

OMG -- am jealous. Must order somehow.

[permetaform]

found it completely easy, I used the mail order and it came in two weeks I think, in a flat non-descript package

[oboros.livejournal.com]

no way. that scares me somewhat bad. *eep*

[permetaform]

?? which part of it? do you use tampons?

[oboros.livejournal.com]

picture, maybe. yes use tampons. my cycle is so light and short 1 box of tampons lasts months. I'd probably forget about it in /blush!!!
