I'm trying out the Instead cup today. Supposed to last up to 12 hours with no leaking. The reviews are pretty good. These are disposable ones. I just ordered a Lunette reusable one which seemed to have better ratings. Has anyone else ever tried these? I'm going on a vacation next week and my period is really heavy, so I'm hoping this helps!!!

OK sorry for the graphic nature here but hey we're in the ladies room right?... Does it get all over your hand when you fish it out? I can't even use OB tampons. I just can't go fishing around up in there during that time of the month. Really, is it messy?

I've used both the Instead and the Diva Cup. I've converted many people I know to the cup... best invention ever. It does take some getting used to. In the beginning, I had a little mess on my hand to clean up so I learned to take a wetted paper towel into the ladies room when I went. Now, I can pull it out, empty, wipe and reinsert with very little spillage!

I tried these when they first came out and had spillage and never quite got the hang of it, it just kinda icked me out. Since everyone here has had good luck with them, maybe I'll get some for my daughter. I don't need them anymore since my hysterectomy...SCORE!
