    I think they’re great and really cut down on costs when you add up how much you’d typically spend on tampons / pads every month. I usually have a heavy two days when my period starts and it’s taken away the fear of leaking or being caught without enough tampons etc

    I have used one for a few years now and it is the best thing ever. I was a late starter so only used pads about a year...my very religous mother was one of them that believed tampons could take your virginity so she wouldn't let me wear them. My sister started using them though so I started robbing some of hers a few months later then started buying my own.
    Threads on here taught me about cups and after getting my period three days before my ironman in 2015 I decided time was up with tampons...I never like them anyway, always found them uncomfortable and leaky no matter what absorbancy I tried. Got to the point where I was changing my tampon every 2 or 3 hours and it wasn't even full just to prevent leaking.
    Swimming and cycling with tampons was always super uncomfortable too and I could never get a full nights sleep with tampons or pads as I'd wake up uncomfortable..now I wake up and forget I need to clean out my cup because I don't even remember I'm wearing it. :pac:

    Never had much of an issue with emptying it away from home and my period is only heavy for a day, I can get home from work at lunch so I'll just go home and clean it out at lunch. If empyting it in a public toilet I just empty it, clean it out with loo roll and put it back in...thats a bit icky putting the warm cup back in :D

    Best invention and purchase ever for me, I had to get the bigger cup before I was 30 though (and no kids) - originally bought the smaller cup and it was shifting up too far and leaking all the time.

    Tried the mooncup a while back but could not manage it at all, nearly eviscerated myself trying to get it out. Wish I could use it.
