While I don't like that my hand gets bloody inserting it, I think about all the waste I am saving. I cannot even feel it and it hasn't leaked so far. Pretty good deal!

I have used re-usable cotton pads, but they can be bulky and uncomfortable, and are not exactly easy to wear under some clothes. I have reluctantly been using tampons when pads are not possible, and would like to make a change. I would much rather have an environmentally sound way to handle menstrual flow, not a disposable one. I have been reluctant to try a menstrual cup up until now, but I am tired of supporting a product I don't really believe in, month in and month out, and am ready to try a menstrual cup.

It is also possible (and quite common) to develop a latex allergy over time with recurrent exposure. So if you are an "allergic" or "sensitive skin" person you would be better advised to avoid latex rubber and go for medical grade silicone. Personally, I have a Green LadyCup and that is both lovely and green and lovely for my body! Menstrual cups rock!! “Natural gum rubber” sounds nice, but don’t forget that this is LATEX and may be a problem for people with allergies.

Plus, the Keeper company has done some pretty shady things (here are some personal stories: http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups/tag/keeper+company). Just my piece of unsolicited information of the day.
