What kind do you use? How many kids have you had? Did you have to trim the stem? Do you find it comfortable?
I've decided I'm going to buy one and toss the tampons (I've never used a pad other than right after I gave birth). I'm just trying to figure out which brand to get and what might be best for me..

Re: XP- Menstrual Cup Users
I ordered size two diva cup based on my age and the fact that I had given birth. It was so uncomfortable. I cut the stem completely off and then even turned it inside out. It was better, but only if I was sitting or lying down.
I read a chart (I think on the lunette site)` about sizes, and based on my shape, I decided to try a smaller one. I ordered lunette size one, but only used it on one light day so far, so I can't speak to how well it contains the yuck, but it was a lot more comfortable. I couldn't feel it, even though I was moving around a fair bit.
Is it easy to get in and out? I'm considering giving it a try once PP AF shows her ugly face.
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
It all revolves around you.
Cup = best thing ever. I started with a size one diva cup and recently got a size two lunette. I have one kiddo and I am 26. I actually find the diva cup fits better. But the lunette is good too. I had to cut the stem completely off of both cups but now it is sooooo comfortable cant even feel it. It makes me not hate my period. It just takes some practice to insert it right.
I'm also a recent convert to mama cloth as a back up to the cup. Especially minky pads!

it does take some practice but now I think it's easy. I was inserting it too high for a little while and it wasn't working well, it would leak, and i hated it. Once I learned to not insert it as far and make sure it can rotate freely its great. I think it's way more comfy than tampons.

I am somewhat interested in a smaller cup, but I found out I'm a cloth pad lover! I had never wore a pad before so this greatly surprised me. I have a super light flow so there is no bulk and now I don't have the uncomfortable feeling of changing a dry tampon.
Ps, I could never fill the diva cup in a 24 hr period, that's how light I am!
