I would like to try using something else other than tampons for my period. I don't like using pads either because it feels like a daiper and they are visible through my pants even when I use thin pads. Pantiliners don't show, but they don't absorb enough. Pads also leak a lot, even the ones with wings. Basically I just don't want to wear pads anymore. I am trying to avoid tampons because I have had vaginal irritation for a couple of years now. Infections, soaps, detergents, lotions, condoms, sex, non-cotton underwear material, etc. are ruled out, but the cause of the irritation is still a mystery, so I thought I'd experiment and avoid tampons for a while to see if they are the culprit. But the thought of using pads during the day while I'm active and working doesn't sound fun or comfortable. I"ve heard of a "moon cup" or some kind of cup for menstruation, but don't know anything about it. Where can I find these other options (in the U.S.)?
