(More customer reviews)The Instead softcup caught my eye while searching for tampons one night, so I bought some to see what they were like. I really liked the idea behind them, but I thought they were too messy, wasteful, etc. At least tampons will *eventually* decay in landfills. Plastic won't, so to use 5-6 plastic disks a month... I had issues with that. Plus, I have a very heavy cycle, so while I do believe it's possible to use the Instead cup without making a mess, I never achieved it. I had to take a washcloth with me to the bathroom to avoid looking like I'd just violently murdered someone.
So, I did a bit of research and discovered Diva cups. And, WOW! Since they're shaped differently than the Instead, they are easier to use, plus I can remove mine without reenacting the Boston Massacre.
Since I do suffer from mennorghia, I cannot go all day without changing it, but I've bought myself a little bit more time between trips to the ladies' room. I used to use 2 tampons every hour. Now, I just empty this every 2 hours. Lol, I'm starting to feel almost normal!
The menstrual cup is easy to use and comes with complete directions. Instead of being surprised by my period and ruining underwear, when I feel the tell-tale backache, I insert the cup and just check it a couple of times a day. I may actually start buying nice underwear again!
