Best investment!
Ladies, do yourself a favor and convert to the cup! I really liked this one. This has seriously made having my period less miserable. I know science say "not likely" but, from personal experience, using this cup has drastically reduced the severity of my cramps - they are almost non existent and I used to be pale faced doubled over in pain with cramps for the first 24/48 hrs.
Pros: Comfortable, easy to use (once you get the hang of it), no toxic chemicals, better for your body, better for the environment, cost effective, no cramps, no period smell, no wet tampon string, you don't have to change nearly as often as you would with tampons, no feeling of ripping your insides out like with tampons have haven't absorbed enough liquid), doesn't effect the natural stuff that's going on down there and won't dry you out like tampons can
Cons: messy hands (really not a big deal at all - hello soap and water!), not completely leak proof (but neither are tampons) so I use a liner on heavier days and nothing but the cup on light days.
The pros COMPLETELY outweigh the cons in my opinion.
