The Instead menstrual cup!

I use both but pads use I hate using tampons
tried pads and felt like i was wearing a nappy and that EVERYONE could see lol so i my mum bought me tampons on my very first period and i've never worn a pad since - except one time at school when i had to ask a friend -eek- I don't have periods now coz i'm underweight.
i'm reallly surprised at the number of people who wear pads actually - thought most went for tampons.
Went to the doc bout heavy periods and he said i could take it and just have 3 a year and didn't advise me on the risks but then i don't think they do anymore coz it is all in the leaflet thingies???
But yeah, it can make you unable to have kids, even if you have more than 3 periods a year - just prolonged use of the pill causes this, and it's also had possible links to increased chance of cancer.

Sorry if this has already been done (I couldn't find a thread). Just wondering what more girls use when on their period. I've only ever used pads and haven't had any problems but might try something else some day. Which do you prefer?
Eugh, pads are like adult nappies in my opinion.

That always bothers me - why the hell would you want luminous colours on something some women find embarassing? It makes no sense...
I don't see why periods would ever be thought of as embarassing. Unless there's *ahem* a spillage.. or something.
I love my funky coloured pad packets. Also, reading the blurb on the always packets is riveting - makes toilet trips informative.
I must remember to get out more.
I keep talking about it but the Instead menstrual cup is honestly a miracle and I'm never using tampons again 
I was bothering my cousin and aunts about it all day and giving them some of mine to try

tampons mostly, but i like to alternate
The cup does sound a fab idea... *veeeeery tempted* speshly when i'm studenty and short of cash
