Becky explained it well, I think. It is an alternative to tampons and pads. It can work really well. It's much healthier than tampons, because cups don't absorb important liquids from your body.
I recommend Instead, http://www.softcup.com
Unlike the Keeper, Instead is disposable so you don't have to deal with it once you're done with it.
You can get a starter kit from them for a $3 shipping fee. You can then buy it online although I've also seen it sold in pharmacies like Walgreens

Its a European thing. Shaped like a diaphragm or a cervical cap, it slips inside the vagina and catches the menstrual flow before it leaves the body.
There are a variety of styles, but here's are a couple if you're interested (personally, I'll stick to the old fashioned stuff, thank you.)

They are sold at most stores under the name Instead. Here's their website--

its a new kind of tampon. you have to insert it into you. never saw one, but i would think it would be a mess and not worth the effort.
