I only just recently discovered menstrual cups but am an absolut fan of them.
Did you eventually get a cup??? And how do you like it?
I have got a Lunette and a MeLuna (a German cup which is made from TPE and threfore free of PVC, silicone, latex, proteins and therefore antiallergen). And I love them both!!! I can't imagine going back to tampons ! And they are sooo conveniant! And I just love not having to carry a bag full of tampons and pads with me when going someplace!
Anyway.. i also just discovered a US website by two young women.. and they make the most fantastic cloth pads! Check them out, it's "Party in my pants". I have tried several typs of cloth pads and they are by far the best.
