Need to know...menstrual cups

Okay, I know it sounds gross or weird but a lot of people are really curious about them and I can tell about them from experience...and I love them! I first got my femmecup when I was in England because I really hate the idea of tampons because the bleach messes with the pH and also the fibers that get left "in there" are not good for you. Not to mention how much money us girls spend on tampons! Geez, we are paying to throw these things away and helping pollute the earth. I think I read somewhere that women go through 10,000 tampons in our lifetime...and that is a lot, so I wanted to try something that is a lot better for my body, my wallet, and the earth.

Femmecup! I heard about these oddly enough from a bathroom stall in London...I think it was the bathroom at Spitalfield Market. When I got out of the bathroom I asked one of my friends about it and she said her sister uses one and loves it but she hasn't tried it because, I don't know, it can be kinda weird. So, I thought it was a good idea to try and I went onto Amazon and bought a femmecup (there are many different brands, but femmecup was the one that was being sold in the UK, divacup is the one that is sold in the US.) Since getting it, I have fallen in love with it! It is not weird at all since I am pretty comfortable with my body. I never realized how many tampons I used before, but now knowing I don't think I would want to turn back to them.

I have realized that a lot of women are interested in trying them and they just have never tried them because they don't know anyone who has used it and they want a personal testimony about them. :) I am now that person and I have talked to one of my co-workers who has always been interested in them but never tried them because she has a latex allergy and when she was seriously looking into them, they were pretty much only made from latex but now they are more often than not made from silicone. So, I told her my opinions about them and she ordered one the other day! :) I am really interested in knowing what her experience is and I can't wait until she tells me...well I can wait, but you know what I mean.

If anyone has questions about them or wants to know my experience then I am more than open to talk, I think I have recommended them to about four people or so.
