[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 681646, member: 1963"] I used an early version of the "cup" in the 70s. Worked OK once I figured out to insert the thing properly, and how to remove it without making a real mess. The problem with the cup is that you can leave it in for so long, as I found out when I developed a nasty case of cervicitis from leaving the cup in for about 7 hours, which the packaging said was perfectly safe.. I've also used the sponge which came out around the same time. The problem with both the cup and the sponge is that it is impossible to sterilize them without damaging them. After experimenting with both methods, I went back to using tampons, but wasn't really satisfied with them until I found OB tampons in Germany. Used those for years and was very happy to find that they'd made it to the US market by the time i made it back stateside. For the other "leakage" issue? Pads and peeing often to make sure the bladder is as empty as possible. Getting "overfull" is where I get myself in trouble. [/QUOTE]
