I have been using mine for over 5 years now and would not go back to tampons. After the second month I realised that I no longer had to worry about the eternal question 'do I have enough protection toget me through this month?' the only time I had a 'leak' was early in my useage when I forgot I had my priod as I was so comfortable and therefore forgot to empty the cup in time. As I start to face the big M and find my periods getting more irregular, the cup is my savior as I can carry it at all times and unlike tampons I can insert it before a priod starts if I get the familiar stomach cramp

Seems like no-one has a bad word to say about them.  How much are they then?

I got mine from ebay and it was £17 with postage, so not cheap, but then neither are sanitary products each month.  

Ive read so many reviews about them, hundreds infact and only seen 1 negative.  It got stuck and she had to go to hospital to have it removed :/

The larger branches of boots sell them, but you have to look for them as they are almost hidden. I think mine cost me £20 and the cost had been putting me off, but then I realised that I spent over £2 every month on sanitary products, so it had paid for itself with the first year

I spend about £5 a month so definitely worth while for me
