I think by the end of my stay in Scotland, all eight women on my program had switched over, and there are a few well on their way where I am now in Tennessee. It's such an amazing tool. Way to go, Donna!

After seeing your post, I bought one. Hooray! <br />btw- they are also sold at my local Whole Foods store for a little more.<br />Connie PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792307050609117515.post-60674159042177948762009-06-03T10:14:15.577-05:002009-06-03T10:14:15.577-05:00I have been thinking about doing this (being a cru...I have been thinking about doing this (being a crunchy-type), but just haven't bothered to order one yet. I switched to OB tampons a couple of years ago because they were minimally packaged and had no extra applicator trash. I may finally make the switch!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084587831359116469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792307050609117515.post-50047090554380934722009-06-01T20:21:17.867-05:002009-06-01T20:21:17.867-05:00I too recommend the Diva Cup!

I think the best part is that I never have to worry about finding a place to put tampon-related trash away when I'm somewhere and can't find a trash can in the bathroom...not to mention I don't have to have any trash to throw away at home, either!<br /><br />Donna, I really love your blog (and your Twitter!) It's a joy to read, and I feel like I have a lot in common with your interests (except maybe knitting, but my mother knits enough for the both of us already). I want to thank you for inadvertendly introducing me to BookMooch, which has gotten me interested in reading again. hooray!Arihttp://ariclouse.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792307050609117515.post-7922111539850389642009-05-31T14:09:53.771-05:002009-05-31T14:09:53.771-05:001.

Two considerations that make that much less of a problem: (a) You have to change it much less often. On normal flow days you could go the whole day at work without changing it. (b) When you do need a change but you're in a multi-stall restroom, just empty it in the toilet and wipe off the outside with toilet paper before reinserting. Just so happens that I did that very thing this morning at church. No problem at all.<br /><br />2. Yes. It forms a leakproof seal.<br /><br />3. I've given that some thought. The company has a pamphlet just for teens. Thinking about the arcane instruction I was given about feminine hygiene, I really doubt it would be any less complicated. Certainly it's just as easy as using tampons.donnadbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580583133757807126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792307050609117515.post-79170214384667713032009-05-31T13:48:33.488-05:002009-05-31T13:48:33.488-05:00Intriguing...

I haven't had one since before I was pregnant w/ Kate. I went 14 months after Jude's birth, so I guess I'm getting close to that with Kate. One of the wonderful things about breastfeeding... Maybe I'll give the cup thing a try.Alinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792307050609117515.post-24647822747243222302009-05-30T22:54:45.959-05:002009-05-30T22:54:45.959-05:00Haven't used the cup, but when I saw the mention o...Haven't used the cup, but when I saw the mention of lunapads, had to make a comment. I give the company a big thumbs up. I know good sewing and their products are very well made. If you end up with one that isn't, they will quickly send a new one. Might be too much info, but I've been using them for about 3 years. For those so inclined, there are a ton of patterns on the web to make your own as wellStephanienoreply@blogger.com
