I've been researching menstrual cups. TMI time: I can't bring myself to use tampons (too many horror stories of toxic shock) and my body reacts to pads in bad ways. For example, Always... uh... dries out my butt to the point that my skin breaks and gives me the runs. Anywho, some reviews report that the Keeper has been aggravating latex allergies, even in people without signs of a latex allergy before. Silicone is supposed to be the way to go with those things.
Been debating on a Diva Cup, but heard those put strange pressure in odd places. Might give Lunapads a try, though, but my periods are extremely heavy in both flow and what comes out. I'm worried that more natural product can't handle them.
