Just bought two RadPads liners from a local health food shop - no more boxes of papery, throw away, sticky liners! I'll see how I go, before looking into sourcing other types...

Diva cup arrived, had a little play very comfy so far, now awaiting period in a couple of weeks...

So, Keeper, Diva, Mooncup - which is better?
And I'd need a few cloth pads too, right, in case of leaks...?

Mmmmm.... a very good question indeed! I have a mooncup, and I'm really happy with it... but I haven't tried Diva or Keeper.

I have a few friends and patients who use mooncups and all are pleased with them. There must be a wonderful BB woman who has tried them all and can give some feedback. If not, I may have to take it upon myself to be the guinea pig for everyone!

Good question - looking forward to hearing some feedback

I've used the Keeper and the Diva. They're both much of a muchness, though i find both a little long and trim the extraction stem right off at the bottom of the cup so it can't stick into me. I have seen photos on the internet of all 3 next to one another and i think (might be best to check) that the mooncup is the most petite in length - they all have similar rim diameters.

Personally if i am asked i advise women to buy a silicon cup (moon or diva) simply because after 3 years of use i developed a rubber allergy from the keeper. That won't happen with everyone, but it CAN'T happen with the medical-grade silicon products.
