Instead cups?

I have never heard of this. I think I'm going to google....

Could ponder getting put on the pill ... now days they know that you don't "have" to have periods... people are having 4 a year now wheeeee.   That way you could time it to not be having one then at all.

Well, we're trying to conceive, so pills are out. I'm hoping I won't have to worry about it at all and I'll be pregnant. Just thinking ahead.

I've never heard of it either.  I thought it was just me.

I guess it's because of what I do for a living, but having my period has never stopped from from doing anything, including but not limited to swimming.

I use a Diva Cup, and swear by it. Swimming, no problem. Horseback riding, including jumping, no problem. But no top rack of the dishwasher, even before there was a man around the house. Eeeewwwwwwww.

Haha I'm glad my friend's roommate is apparently the only person in the world that doesn't find the dishwasher thing disgusting. It was something they fought about constantly; she really didn't see a problem with it.

I have used instead cups during sex, but I would only do it on a light day. I would not trust it for swimming personally.

I use a menstrual cup. I've tried the keeper (which was good), diva cup (which was awful), and lunette (which is best). I lived with 4 other girls during college, and all 4 of them converted to menstrual cups after I recommended it. There's a learning curve though, so I wouldn't go swimming with it the first cycle you use it...

And no, don't put them on the dish rack!

Instead cups and Diva cups have the same idea...but the Instead cups are so crappy. I hated them. They are wider than the Diva cups, and I found that to not keep things clean.
