female only Menstrual Cup?

[MINI-Me 196]

Because of this thread, I tried them Instead Disposables during my last period. It does take some getting used to as far as positioning and removing. But, once I got used to it, I really liked it. HOWEVER, on heavy days, I cannot go 12 hours. I had an "overflow" so that was a little messy. Lesson learned for next month.

Tip - I purchased 14 at Walgreens for $8.99. Drugstore.com had 24 for $8.99. And, since I had other items I needed, I was able to put in an order for $50 & got free shipping!

OK sorry for the graphic nature here but hey we're in the ladies room right?... Does it get all over your hand when you fish it out? I can't even use OB tampons. I just can't go fishing around up in there during that time of the month. Really, is it messy?

I've used both the Instead and the Diva Cup. I've converted many people I know to the cup... best invention ever. It does take some getting used to. In the beginning, I had a little mess on my hand to clean up so I learned to take a wetted paper towel into the ladies room when I went. Now, I can pull it out, empty, wipe and reinsert with very little spillage!

I tried these when they first came out and had spillage and never quite got the hang of it, it just kinda icked me out. Since everyone here has had good luck with them, maybe I'll get some for my daughter. I don't need them anymore since my hysterectomy...SCORE!
