I can think of nothing MORE stressful during my period than digging around in my bloody cooch, dumping a cup full of my own blood into the toilet, figuring out how to waddle to the sink in a public restroom to rinse it off without exposing myself or ruining my underwear, and shoving it back up my bloody cooch. like, I can't even operate a tampon, what makes you think a menstrual cup would be EASIER? please just let me stick to pads.
