Please do not come at me but I love reusable cloth pads. I know theyāre not for everyone but they are for me and I love them. They never leak and my period cramps are not as bad as with disposables.
The cups are horrible. Leaked and major cramps whenever I used them. So I went back to pads and tampons. Iāve tried a couple of the period underwear brands but havenāt found anything suitable yet. Havenāt tried reusable pads either.
Cups can be tricky. You need to find one thatās right for your body. There are different styles and sizes. But once you find the right ones theyāre so much better and more cost effective in the long run than disposable products. Do you sew? There are patterns for washable pads. Iāll stick with the cup
There are also panty liners and washable period underwear and washable pad products. I have never tried the washable stuff but I would some day if I ever got a free sample or something like that.
I canāt do cups or tampons but I have some washable pads and I love them
I like tampons I think pads and the cups are icky
I tried the cups, didnāt work for long soā¦ I hear people have done well with
Pads r gross to me because I can feel the āflowā and I practically need a wipe to clean up on medium to heavy days. Cups I wouldnāt mind since I can wear one on days I think I might start without drying my āwho haā out. They are more friendly to the environment. You can also keep them in for a long time. I do not yet because u need a learning curve and I am currently working to much for that. When you take them out in the beginning, u can make a huge mess! You should also have three of them I think. Tampons r my go to right now since they keep me clean n r the least messy for me at this time. I have thought about the Sponge as they have some of the same benefits as cup but you shouldnāt have issues with fit or as much of the mess. Good luckš
Ive recently started using the disks and for some reason im just not doing it right i have a heavy flow and i need something for at work that doesnt leak or feel like a diaper tampons just dont work with my flow and clots(are big) ive pushed past the pubic bone and everything its frustrating me as i have a highly physical job and cant stop for period problems. Ive tried a cup a few times but have had too many troubles with that as well
I donāt get periods right now, being on mirena, BUT my sister-in-law got toxic shock syndrome from tampons and we nearly lost her. I havent worn a tampon since.
I do like the cups. They are messy but so is a tampon, really.
At night, or on heavy days, I would wear period underwear and an overnight pad.
I do the disposable soft cups they are more comfortable than the traditional cup and I use a pantyliner with (sometimes they leak but they last a long time)
Around the house I usually use pads however.
Iāve never been able to do anything but pads. Iāve been wanting to try the reusable because I go through so many disposable ones. Seeing these positive comments about them and gives me hope!
Iām old fashioned. I just wear tampons. I donāt like pads because I donāt want to sit for hours in my own filth and they leak out the sides onto my panties, and screw the cupsā¦ they would be so uncomfortable to me and I know it so Iām not wasting my money. To each their own though.
My body rejects tampons and the cup. Literally pushes them out. So i use pads.
