Do you think it would be ok if I used this
during swim practice? It just seems so
strange, but I'm sick of forgetting to buy
tampons and this sounds like it would be a
great alternative.
How much are they by the way? The website
just went on about them being worth the
extra money, which I'm sure is true, but
I'm just curious

it should be about $40. i'm not sure about
swimming. i've never tried it and i looked
up the faq section on a couple of sites
and it doesnt say anything about swimming.
i imagine it would be ok, since the
menstrual cup forms a seal against your
vaginal walls. but if in doubt find the
contact address for the company and email
your question to them!

I'm sure interested in trying it out. It
sounds great IMO. I'll will def look into
and say goodbye to tampons and the nasty
pads!

For tampon insertion I also do it sitting
right on the toilet. Standing or propping
one leg or any of those other poses never
looked comfortable, and plus I have a
difficult time relaxing my vagina when my
legs are in use.

My divacup was around $30 - but you never
have to buy another box of tampons or big
pads again! It pays itself off in just a
few months of use. I had to order mine,
too.
There are disposable cups you can buy in
stores, I've seen then a few times. I
think they aren't made out of as nice a
plastic as the divacup, which is made from
silicone. The disposables may be harder
because of this, and they also can't be
cleaned and stored away. Silicone is
really a fantastic material

i suggest trying tampax! they are so
absorbent. i hated playtex tampons. they
never stayed in the right place and always
leaked. >.< i know what you mean by
the feeling of it coming out and all. but
i have no choice. if i use a tampon on the
fisrt 2 days i get really bad cramps and
bleed through in less then an hour. i
believe it's because of the blood clots
that get stuck in there and have no way
out. but anyways try tampax if you haven't
yet. they are a good choice.
