Natural tampons? NCDR

I am RP this from BMB 

I am almost positive my first PP is going to start.  I'm assuming I can use tampons again (silly question probably) and am thinking of picking up some natural tampons to try out.  I'm not quite brave enough to try mama cloth but would like to use something free of a lot of nasty chemicals.  Any particular brand that's better?  I belong to a wholesale coop so next month I can pick up some up there too. They also sell the cups so I may try that again too.  It's nice getting stuff like that discounted!

I love my moon cup, but the ones people have mentioned are good as well.

I have really wanted to switch to a cup, but am afraid I won't like it. A few years ago I tried Instead (disposable menstrual cup, not even sure if it's still on the market...) but hated it cause it was uncomfortable and leaked a decent amount. Are the re

Hmm....maybe it was hitting my cervix uncomfortably. I will have to give the Diva cup another look! (Though since I am TTC, maybe I will wait until I have a baby before ordering a size.)
