The answer. Period.
So, I've found the answer to my fun little monthly dilemma. The Diva Cup is great in every way - it's easy, comfortable and very environmentally conscious (which I love).
It's easy in that once I figured out how to insert it (I got it on the first try - the directions are very clear and helpful) I pretty much can go 12 hours without even a thought to being on my period (that's after I take the Midol....)
It's comfortable; I usually don't fell it all. Sometimes I feel like I've sprung a leak, but it's almost always a false alarm. The little tip doesn't bother me at all like it does other ladies.
And it's great for the environment! I don't understand why this isn't getting talked about more in this day and age. Tampons, and especially pads are so bad for the environment, and when the Diva Cup makes so much more sense I just don't understand why it wouldn't be more popular (except pad and tampon companies not wanting to lose money).
Seriously, the Diva Cup is one of my best buys. Ever. Five stars all the way. And of course I totally recommend it.

Earth-friendly, but sometimes hard to use
I love my Diva Cup. It's much more comfortable than tampons or pads. You don't have the icky feeling pads give you or the dryness and irritation of tampons. That said, it takes some practice to use the Diva Cup and not get leaks. I usually end up wearing a pantyliner with it because if it isn't in just right, and I'm exercising or moving around, you get a little bit of leakage. You have to remember NOT to put it in like a tampon, otherwise you will make a mess. The directions are good, but you have to follow them perfectly. Still, it is a great re-usable product, and once you get the hang of it, you'll like it better than all the other feminine products you've used in the past.

Greatest invention ever! I LOVE IT!!!!
This product is fantastic - works even better than tampons or pads. I was really worried that it wouldn't work well or that it would be hard to insert and remove, but after the first time, it's pretty easy. I can't feel it at all when it's inserted, and there are no leaks whatsoever. On my heavy flow days, I would go through one Super Plus tampon every hour, but even on those really heavy days, I don't need to empty the Diva Cup for about 6-8 hours. And on lesser flow days, I leave it in for 10 hours, which is very convenient. I heartily recommend this to all women - it is better for the earth and much better for our bodies than bleached tampons, and it just works better to boot!

Better than I could have imagined
I've used commercial tampons, natural tampons, pads, and disposable menstrual cups before and this absolutely is the best, easiest, and most effective. Without a doubt.
It is much easier to insert and remove than I thought, because that was a concern of mine at first. You feel it in you even less than tampons. Change it once every twelve hours + it's virtually impossible to fill the cup up enough to warrant changing more often = it's almost difficult to remember that you're even on your period! I am not kidding at all! It's small, discreet, easy to use, easy to clean, comfortable, eco-friendly.. I can't say enough good stuff about this. It even feels much less invasive than tampons. I have yet to have it shift a single inch or leak a single drop.
The gross part of me really wants to start gifting these to my friends!!
