Ladies, what do you use?

[Jaiisun]

Although I'm a guy and have no real evidence-backed opinion, the idea of the menstrual cup is revolting to me - yet, obviously, i'm sure many women use them regularly with ease.

If it helps you at all to know, my girlfriend uses pads and always has.

Pads?
Tampons?
Either or?
Double up with a pad and a tampon?
menstrual cup? (what brand?)
bleach free tampons?
reusable pads?
Freebleed?
Something I'm missing?

If you're a guy, what does your girlfriend do?

btw I've never heard of a menstrual cup what is that LOL
edit: i have a feeling I don't wanna know

Doubling up: Using a tampon, but wearing a pad as well because you're not confident in the tampon's abilities (I know I've never been that confident in them... very rarely do I just wear a tampon).

Menstrual cup: I explained it already, but it's a silicone (very flexible) cup you wear internally like a tampon, that hasn't got all the nasty chemicals and is a good alternative for many women. Lots of women around the world use them.

Bleach Free Tampons: Manufactured tampons that have been made with less nasty stuff in them such as bleach. Less chance of TSS and allergic reactions, more biodegradable.

Cloth pads: Modern cloth pads are nothing like the ones your grandmother wore. They even have wings, and are absorbant, many have a plastic backing just like your ordinary pads... the difference is, at the end of your cycle you chuck them in the washing machine and reuse them the next month. Better for the environment and reportedly feels better on your bits. There's quite a movement towards these three options. (bleach free, menstrual cups, and cloth pads.).

Cups are no more revolting than tampons in my opinion, but yeah I used to be grossed out by the idea. It's taken me a few years for the idea to grow on me, now I'm wondering why I was so stupid. It's just a teaspoon of blood, and it's clean. Bacteria doesn't grow on silicone.

but lol @ the cup. I didn't think of it as going in, I thought it would be a thing that clips onto your flaps and it works like a coffee maker.
