I've never tried OB, so many people here have suggested it, I must give it a try. I hear the PP on the dryness, even a normal tampon can be a problem without the "gentle glide" applicator.
About the Diva Cup, that always grossed me out. Don't you keep it up there for 24 hours? I have to think there would be a stink factor that would turn me off from that. The whole concept just creeps me out. Can the PP explain the details of the Diva Cup?
I'm the PP that posted about Diva Cup. No, you do not leave it in for 24 hours. On my very heavy days, I actually have to remove it every hour. That's why tampons don't work for me. I overflow way too soon. According to the website it can be left in for up to 12 hours. It's messy the first few times you use it. Takes a little getting used to. I had a big problems with tampons because they dry me out. I'd hate when I had one in, and it wasn't time to change it, but I knew I was about to get in the car for an hour...so I had to take it out too soon and it hurt! Diva Cup doesn't dry me out and I can change it as often as I want. It's a lot easier to change it at home, because I have access to a sink so I can rinse it out. In public bathrooms I just dump it in the toilet and then wipe it out with a little toilet paper before inserting it again.
