How to use a menstrual cup
How I did it: I had never heard of cups until I saw a DivaCup add in magazine (Yoga Journal) about a year ago. I was intrigued, and started doing research on the different brands. I ended up buying a Mooncup UK. I was able to use it the first time with no problems. I'll never go back to tampons!
Cups might seem expensive at first, but I used to use two boxes of tampons per cycle. I've saved a lot of money by switching.
Lessons & tips: There are several different brands, choose the one you think will be best for you. A great place to go is the Menstrual Cups
community on Live Journal. They have all kinds of tips on folding,
insertion, size comparisons, and buying decisions. A friendly group of ladies.
Resources: Check out the websites for some of the different manufactures:
