I normally use pads because tampons give me cramps. When I first read this I just kind of went "blech" and disregarded the idea. I'm a little set in my ways I guess, and after 20+ years of using pads, I've developed an aversion to the idea of keeping menstrual blood blocked up inside me rather than letting it flow out. But now that I read the whole thread, I'm thinking it might be worth trying out. The pads make me irritated from chafing and after about three days I'm usually pretty uncomfortable. Do the cups keep the blood away from your cervix and out of contact with your body? My flow is generally pretty light.
