Snowy, it's pretty possible that your cramps are worse with tampons because of all that absorbing and the chemicals. My cramps aren't any worse with the Divacup or Keeper, but I guess sometimes taking it out and putting it back in is less pleasant if I'm already having really bad cramps. Then again, I never even thought about it until you asked; I'd say that kind of discomfort is negligible. If anything, my periods have gotten more pleasant in general since I've started using a reusable cup.
Instead sounds like a good thing to use for period sex... maybe I'll try that when I start having sex again. They're expensive, but that's pretty much offset by the fact that I already use the Divacup for when I'm not having sex. Thanks for the tip, greeneyes.
