How do I get the damn thing in?

i was just gonna ask about the suction haha!

How are they compared to a tampon? i hate those damn things... and if I can avoid them I will. Eg. Last week Nan took DS to swimming lessons so I didn't have to use one!

I hate tampons too because they suck all the fluid away and make me feel super dry. I HATE that feeling. These cups leave me feeling normal. Hard to explain, but they are a much nicer feeling against my vagina than a tampon ever was. Death to tampons.

that's what i find too... i haven't used one is easily five years, and i can still remember that dry scratchy feeling. Perhaps I'll look into them, although I think I'd only use it for swimming.

I've only used mine for one cycle, but I found I couldn't get it to sit right just before, or just after, AF... only during.

I hate how tampons pretty much absorb nothing and feel like sandpaper going in and coming out. Even with the annoying suction making removal tricky, cups win over the dryness of tampons anyday.

Cups aren't foolproof though, and I usually wear it with a thin (cloth) pad or liner in my first few days because I will fill a cup and it can overflow. Similar to a tampon though
