i have just read about this reusable alternative for when you are on your period and was thinking of trying them after baby comes. it is a silicone cup inserted like a tampon that collects about 1/3 of blood lost from your whole period. because of this they are suitablef or even heavy flows and rarely become full. all you do is empty and rinse it out and reinsert every 4-8 hours. seems very simple, but i wanted to know if anyone has used them?
