mrsbrownFabric pads are fabulous.
They are not hot, sweaty or smelly and I don't have to change them multiple times per day to avoid chafing or itchiness. Also I don't have to put them in the bin.
They don't leak either.
The silicon cup I bouht at the same time as the pads is... interesting. I used it for the later part of my last period, only at home. This time I've used it from the beginning, includin at work and I sort of find it a bit challenging. It's challenging to get in and out and you need to be pretty comfortable with yourself to begin with. It gets easier though and I don't need to have a shower every time I empty it anymore. Now that it's been in continuously for 4 days (except for a daily rinse) I'm finding myself a bit antsy about having it in for so long, although I usually give up on tampons at about this stage to, so I'll take it out tonight. I like having more feedback about how much blood I'm losing and it's fabulous not having to worry about having tampons with me, or angst about who is in the kitchen as I dispose of them. I'll definately be using it again next month.
I've spent the week restraining myself from posting the gory details (literally) and now I've found someone else's description and photos, so I don't need to. Except I don't have long fingernails and I do have a pretty small hand. I'm also glad I've spent so much time in the last year doing kegel exercises.
