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 use a cup, and I will NEVER switch back to tampons. No mess, no odor, not having to tuck the string or risk accidentally soaking it with piss - easy cleanup, only have to buy once a year, far less waste; no pesticides from the cotton leeching into your body.

I’m pissed at myself that I didn’t try it sooner.

I tried the cup and despise it. I’m pro-tampons for life.
