This. The cup is even easier though. [/quote]

+1 I didn't used to sleep in tampons, but now I use a reusable disc (similar to a cup but different shape and position).

It can be left in safely for 12 hours and has larger capacity. The best thing is on my heavy days it empties automatically when I use the bathroom. It is so amazing I kind of look forward to my periods lol

I tried to use one but how do you get around the bloody mess that happens when you remove it out to empty/change?  And what do you do about the blood that's on the vaginal opening side of the cup?  It seems like that still comes out after you put the disc in.  Maybe it's different depending on how your body is shaped?[/quote]

It took a few cycles to get used to the removal. It can be messy and I do get blood on my hand frequently. I have figured out how to avoid making the bathroom look like a murder scene. It does help that the disc is not usually full, since on the heavy days it "autodumps" when I use the bathroom. The one thing that is annoying is if I have to manually empty it in a public restroom without a private sink, but in those cases I just wipe it off with toilet paper and reinsert.

Mine doesnt leak. There is sometimes blood left in the vagina (below the disc which sits in the vaginal fornix) after emptying the disc or autodumping that can stain underwear. I just wear period underwear on those days.[/quote]
