I hate...

when you take nap but 30 seconds after being upright you either need to be on the toilet already or you need new pants. I have a diva and this STILL happens to me. ::shakes fist at AF::

I have to wear pads or I will leak.  It's still a really gross feeling when I sit up.  Blech.  I'm thinking about going on hormonal bcp just to see if they will make my period lighter.

no kidding. How do you like the diva cup?

the pills definately worked for me, I needed them as I was soaking through 2 supers, a maxi pad, my underwear and skirt EVERY DAY since I was 12. I loved having lighter normal periods.

And the diva is a godsend. Seriously, if you are considering one, just do it. it took me 2 insertions to get the seal right, and even emptying it at work is easy. I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

 

eta: I mean every hour. My periods were evil right after puberty.

I had that problem with cups all the time. I had to switch back to tampons. It was too gross for me.
