Cloth Pad & Menstrual Cup Discussion Thread

[BekZ]

I have just stumbled apon this thread and it seems very timely for me.

Since having Loren 10 months ago it seems that I have developed a sentivity to pads. TMI warning...After AF I have a lot of discomfort, I get the same issues when DH uses condoms. Last cycle I tried tamponds but it seems my pelvic floor has relocated and I can't seem to get one in the right spot...So I am seriously stuffed!!!

Actually the thought of using "rags' is a bit dark ages to me...sorry Maz, but I don't want to go through any more allergic reactions, so cloth looks like a great option.

As for the cup idea, if I can't insert a tampond successfully then how would I go with a cup?

Where should I start? Question...What about smell and cleaning?

I find soaking them overnight works a charm for the stain factor... get them in water as soon as you take them off and soak for 24 hours. Just washing them seems to set the stains.
