Omg what will they think of next? They don't leak? What, until you leave it in for an extra minute and it overflows? Or you take it out and spill it everywhere? I think I'll stick to pads and tampons thanks The 'sexy period undies' would be an interesting idea - if they weren't $34 per pair

They have actually been around a long time, work really well, are used by heaps of ladies here, have many health benefits, are better for the environment and are just all round awesome. Where have you been?

This post was more to use as a resource for ladies looking for suppliers...not a discussion. Yes they have been around a long time and they are great, you should check them out.

They have been around a good while, and well worth checking out. Ive had a cup for 2 or 3 years now, and I'd never go back. It is honestly that good. I do remember discovering cloth pads when my ten year old was wearing cloth nappies and feeling rather confronted by the idea, and then researching endlessly. I mean when the ten year old was a baby of course.

I know an 11/12y/o who uses both cloth pads and a cup (when she wants to swim etc) and hasn't had a problem
