Hi! I use my cup every period, and have done so for years. It might take some training in the beginning, but for me now it is both more comfortable and hygienic than traditional pads and tampons. It can stay in for 12 hours, so you do not have to think about it so much, it lasts for years (around 10, they say) so you will not have to buy it often, and it saves sooo much waste. Cloth pad are however a good solution to traditional ones if you still prefer pads – I sometimes use them as well.
