Well,
one brand, the Divacup, you can get at Whole Foods Stores across the US...but pretty much everything else you need to buy online unfortunately.

There are some called "Insteads"...but those are a totally different concept from reusable menstrual cups.

Nope, you can leave it in as much or as little as you want. No risk of TSS...or anything else for that matter.

You empty your cup as often as you need to, just like a pad or tampon. You get used to your cycle the more you use the cup.

You do not need to wash it out every time, usually what I just do is wipe it with toilet paper to get everything out after emptying. And when my period ends, I just wash it out with soap (non-scented) and warm water, dry it with paper towels, and put it back in the storage bag until I need it again.

Any more questions? :)

how often do you have to like... dump the blood out? and do you wash it out every time you dump the blood out?

You don't have to be rude about it.

You never know, I've had this post going out for months and questions still pop up....so.

my guess is no, if someone had questions they would be asked by now.
