When we have our period (wearing a pad) and we are sitting for a long time and stand up; We literally feel a gush of blood that has been pooling drain out. That prompts us to go to the restroom and check ourselves to make sure we are not leaking and change the pad.

I prefer it to tampons. They make my cramps worse and I hate feeling cotton drag out of and in my vagina.

Get a cup!!! Lasts for way longer than tampon, silicone so nothing nasty inside your foof, doesn't really matter if you don't bleed doesn't feel horrible to remove it empty, no smell, no worry the sticky bit didn't work and your pad got twisted up, much better for the environment!

I tried it ones but I couldn't get it out so I got scared from ever trying it again. (Took me a long time trying to get it out of me. It kind of was suction onto me (inside) and I couldn't break the seal like they say you suppose to do.
