[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I clicked on this thread out of interest -- I still just used tampons (and hate them) because the first time I tried using a cup, it was so horrible I deemed it not worth it (way too tricky to put in and then getting it out was somehow worse, did not feel comfortable in my body, stressed about overflow and spills so wound up wearing a liner which I also hate, etc. etc.).

But this sounds worse somehow? Basically, I would like to avoid any situation that has me digging around in my vagina trying to remove something while I'm on my period. I don't want to spend 30 minutes removing my period device! Even if it's only once a day.

This is the one aspect of menopause I look forward to -- no more periods. Our grandmothers had it right. It really is The Curse![/quote]

I will say this is my third cycle using the disc and the first time I feel like it will really work for me. The cup I tried for several months before that. It is a frustrating process. You spend $30+ on a device that may or may not work. When one doesn't work, it's hard to decide how much more money and time to spend and what to spend it on. I was really motivated by my hatred for tampons, so there is that. It also helped me a lot to be able to WFH at least some days to give more time to experiment at home, and I get that isn't something everyone can do. But now that it is really working for me it is great. And I agree with the poster that said perimenopause makes the flow heavier and makes tampons even more of a pain to use.[/quote]
