Raven - if I'm struggling with tampons would I also struggle with the menstrual cup?

Taurean - I might check out those tampons after a couple of cycles. My flow might be a bit heavier after a couple of cycles and I might try them then. At the moment it is so light that I wasn't sure if was AF for the first couple of days.

Thanks ladies for your responses, at least I know I'm not the only one struggling. I hope it rights itself by Summer so I can take DS swimming whenever I want.
