Quoting Ricki &[[BELLA]]:“ yea,ouch...i didnt think you could..thats ok,pads dont bother me..”

you could use a cup with an iud

I think it's gross.
I've never had an issue with tampons and feel no reason not to continue using them.

You can use tampons with an IUD. They cut the strings very short.

Quoting BOS[chloe's]M:“ No im not trying to convince you to use it..but you're saying it's gross when it's not..”

its not gross to you...its gross to others..everyone has thier own idea of whats gross, i think it is as well but thats me

Where exactly is the link about the PStyle cup? Sounds interesting....

ok..i am sure my doc will tell me if i couldnt when i get it..

I like them because with a tampon I get the string soaked when I pee.

The the tampon absorbs the urine up into the cotton in my vagina. And I pee a lot,so going through a box of tampons a week is a pain . I just buy latex gloves to wear when I take the cup out.

my ex had one...and when she tried to get it out she couldnt. it took me and her like an hour to get it out. i know tmi but i wouldnt get one cause she was in alot of pain while we were trying to get it out.

I must say, I have NO idea what they are, but my vote is, whatever tickles your pickle, go for it" as long as the persons blood doesn't get on me I'm fine with their opinion on Aunt Flow protection.

Quoting BOS[chloe's]M:“ I'm sure everyone knows what a menstural cup is, right?”

i've never heard of it.

i use instead...they're disposable cups...
i always would leak with tampons - and i had a weird feeling from them the last time i used them. so i figured i'd try instead.

honestly, they kind of weird to get in and kind of messy to take out. but once they're in - i don't have to worry about anything for 12 hours. and i love that...
they certainly aren't for everyone but i prefer them. i've heard of people using them for fertility as well. i've never done that but.

For anyone who doesn't know about a menstrual cup is:

that happens to me too--I also pee A LOT. Maybe, I should give the cups a try.
