I'm an avid Diva Cup user. The only time I've ever had any leak is when it gets too full. That doesn't happen very often, and then even when it leaks it's just a few tiny drops, not a gusher like when tampons leak.

Also I like knowing how much I'm bleeding, and the cups all have the graduated markings measuring the amount. If you're someone who passes clots and tissue, the cup collects all that beautifully too! less

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!

Well, it is our unique thing Mama Nature gave us to get all purified, also, it is a period of purifying your mind too...

In many Native American tribes it was the time for the women when they didn't hang out with any males, only with females, often spending those days separated, in a place called "Moon Lodge", and those days are to focus on your connection with the universe, a kind of meditating phase when you lead you thoughts towards things what count more... That's why it isn't adviced to mate with anyone too, and in many other religions the blood your body gets rid of is considered to be "bad", something what your body wants to lead out of you...
It is also said that blood is the "soul of the body", and that your entire personality is within your blood, that's why there is that big fuss about sucking blood for the vampire natures, because like how they can feed on your energies, they also get your very own personal tunes from your blood... (I gave up on such things too, used to LOVE sucking blood through people's lips, and was all hooked on the whole energy thing, and you can "shield yourself" from the bad parts of what you take in, but why to bother... It's like a connection between two people, and I wanna connect only with my Master... ^^)
Also, in some Native American tribes females weren't even allowed to touch food and cook, if someone touched the food the female on her Moon cycle touched the person, finding out what (s)he touched, was all weirded out, as it was considered to be "bad medicine" I guess... So chickas had to stay away from such "domestic bliss"...
Not to mention... In the days of the Moon cycle hormones can be raging like crazy, that's why some females get all emotional (like me, oh if you knew...! ), stressed, sentimental, skin getting more sensitive, chicka getting horny as hell, oh and some are almost crazy, so easy to hurt their feelings, so they argue, they fuss, they growl, no wonder males tried to stay away from them as much as possible, so the whining yowling ladies could whine to their female friends who were pampering their fragile delicate little soul... ~lol

So it is so cool to hear that I am not the only one who doesn't stick up anything like tampons and just uses pads (my theory: if something has to go in it should be for PLEASURE!), I don't venture into matings in those days anymore like I used to with so many people not caring a bit, it's a cleaning cycle, so it is for being with yourself in your mind a little bit, then after it I am all hyped up cause looks like my body knows that the waiting is over, so I tremble and yowl and RUSSSSSSSSSSSSH to get my Master's Loving Attention as much as I can have a grab of It!!! ^^

So blood cups, nope, I don't want to keep the "bad blood" inside, as it is full of stuff your body tries to get rid of (like if you were drinking a lot of green tea to clean your blood, or eat cabbage soup, or only rice and water for a week), and full of your growly and stressed and sad emotions, I just wanna let it go as quick as possible! less
