it never hurt me....felt a little uncomfy at first but didnt hurt

it takes longer to use/get used to than tampons but i would NEVER go back.

any more questions...please ask! i have some tricks if you want too :D i would love to convert more users...this thing has made having my period SO much easier and dare i say it...enjoyable? nah definitely not enjoyable but definitely not as annoying as it used to be haha

Does anyone think one or another of these things is better?

And, anyone who's used these things, please respond! :)

well i think of all of those the easiest would be menstrual cups or organic tamps and pads, since cloth pads are a pain to clean and ob tampons are slightly more difficult to insert. i personally have used none of these things before but this is from other peoples feedback

Well, I've seen that there are lots of people who want another way besides wasteful pads and tampons....well, I think I want to join too. I've seen threads talking about different ways, so we can talk about that here.

So far, we have:

o.b. Tampons--they are less wasteful than an applicator tampon

menstrual cups--they are better for the environment and reusable

cloth pads--they are not wasteful and also reusable

organic pads/tampons--better for the environment, but still disposable.



???
