Women, does a menstrual cup sounds creepy to you? [click here if you don't know what it is]?!

well. when i looked at your question a drinking glass full of period came to my mind. i know, sick. but after clicking on the links it looked more disturbing. just because the liquid gets trapped inside. at least tampons absorb the fluid.Health Question & Answer

To me, it's not really "creepy" but it's definitely more unconventional which is why it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Nope, I have a few that I use. It's much for comfortable and cleaner then using a pad or tampon. Not to mention all the waste you no longer generate. I would recommend that to any woman, it's one of those case of "Don't knock it till you try it."

edit: yes they are inserted into your vagina. This explains how to insert it "To insert the DivaCup, first, thoroughly wash your hands. Pinch the cup end so that it's flat and fold the cup part lengthwise. Hold it this way with your forefinger and thumb, with the pinched open end at the tip of your fingers and the pull tab in the palm of your hand. It should look like a big
