RAYOR: Another feminine necessities thread.

Menses alternatives for reducing waste and making the monthly ritual (bane?) more travel friendly.

I recently switched to using a moon cup (http://www.mooncup.co.uk/). Anyone else make the switch? If so how did you find it? While the technology is certainly not new, the advent of silicone has certainly helped make it even more durable and user friendly. After the first couple of days on the learning curve I must say I am delighted with the product and how convenient it has become. I can't imagine going back to other methods unless I absolutely have to. I use the Diva Cup (http://www.divacup.com/) brand myself, even though the name of it makes me cringe.

I used to use the Diva cup before I had that problem taken care of.     It worked really well for me.  There is quite a learning curve with them, but well worth the patience.
