s/o OB users

If you use OB, now that they are scarce/ gone, what are you going to do?

I personally am giving the Diva Cup a try. I've heard people rave about it, and I have 2 friends who use it. Gotta say - so far, like it. No leaking, holds a lot, etc.

However, it's more invasive to put in and take out than the OB was. And I need to work on my skills w/ it in a public restroom. At home, w/ a sink right there - I'm good to go. Doing it in public? Haven't gotten there yet.

I just posted below that Playtex Sport are a good substitute.

I've been using Playtex because I think that they are a close second to OB imho. I may have to try the Diva Cup though. I've been wanting to try it for a long time, maybe now is the time to take the plunge.

I went with the Diva cup after searching in vain all over town for OB ultra, then even the super plus. None to be found, and the others I've tried always leak. I like the Diva cup a lot, actually. It is messy, so those who think OB is gross...yeah, they would hate it.

No biggie to me, though, in exchange for less stuff to carry around and no leaks.

I might give the Diva Cup a try. I just recently got my period back after being pg and BFing for the past couple years, so I was blissfully unaware of the OB shortage. I would be afraid to use it in a public restroom, though. Especially since I always have my baby with me and it's hectic enough in bathrooms without worrying about spilling blood.
