I am SERIOUSLY considering making the switch and I think it would pay for itself in 3-4 months for sure (speaking from the tampon/pad combo, deal with it at night, side of the discussion).kelly enshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029562951606332352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-81448053266066660342014-03-08T10:14:17.044-08:002014-03-08T10:14:17.044-08:00I use a Moon Cup, which is just the UK version, al...I use a Moon Cup, which is just the UK version, although I think you can buy them here now (at least online). Same price range though. I heard about them from a friend back in 2008 when living overseas...so great. And I do use/empty mine in public washrooms (maybe this is TMI?!) but the instructions with the moon cup say to just dump it in the toilet and wipe it with toilet paper, and make sure you rinse properly the next time. Not ideal, but it works. :)Charisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615790713161966476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-66326930701269288292014-03-05T12:28:31.701-08:002014-03-05T12:28:31.701-08:00Christie-I was going to add something about `famil...Christie-I was going to add something about `family cloth' (we don't go that far) :) Glad the products are `under advisement'. <br /><br />Everyone-there are cheaper cups out there as I've realized so do your research if you are thinking of investing!

But I'm definitely intrigued. My cousin has been singing the cup's praises, but she's also keen to use cloth instead of toilet paper, and that's just way too crazy for me.<br /><br />It's under advisement. What good is the internet, if not to spread the word about things like this.

Still have to change it every two hours (better than every 40 min with a tampon) on my first two days of my cycle, but it is so worth the investment! I will never go back. And there are many harmful chemicals in tampons, that I personally never want to have in my body again. Once you get the hang of a diva cup, it is more comfortable than a tampon as well.

I love it! Especially with the reports on mold in tampons lately. I also have bamboo liners. Anything to save money in the long run.
