Back when I used tampons and pads (over 8 years ago) even when using the super-plus absorbencies I'd leak through both within 15 minutes - bubbly full feeling? I wish I had that, I'd know it was time to change tampons because the blood would be pouring down my leg!! As for changing in the bathroom, another thing I don't get, with tampons you have to remove, wipe, wrap up, throw in the bin (or put in your purse if there is no bin there, which ain't great when out clubbing), unwrap new tampons (which you have to carry with you), etc. where as with a cup you pull out, empty and reinsert
( ... )
Tampons work really really well for me. I just don't feel like buying them any more, which is why I decided to try cups.
You can flush them and you don't have to touch yourself, which is why they are preferable when you are somewhere dirty like a club where you don't want to even touch the doorknob much less stick your fingers in your vagina.
The divacup and the keeper are pretty different from each other; if neither is good for a new user, then what is?
Erm, you can't flush tampons ! They're wads of material that expand in water - this costs water authorities billions per year and even with the most advanced sewage systems tampons make their way into oceans. PLEASE deif you're going to use tampons dispose of them correctly.
I'd say Mooncup. Ladycup are good as they are super easy to insert, but without grips they are difficult to remove for first time users. Did you just get these brands because you knew about them? It's best you go for a cup that suits your vagina.
Have you tried keeping cleansing wipes in your purse? Always brand makes individually wrapped cleansing wipes that you can keep in your purse that I just LOVE. They're thin, so they fit easily in my purse, and when I'm out I can use one to wipe my hands, vaginal area, and/or my cup. It makes changing my cup in public a far more pleasant experience. They're also flushable.
Jadea_faith, thanks so much for that helpful comment. I'm on my second day of using a Mooncup and finding it more difficult and painful than I thought it would be. I'll persevere with it though, thanks to this great site and the people who are willing to share their knowledge and experience with others.
