Anything to save the environment and to prevent toxic shock syndrome has to be good, don't you think?

It's similar to the Diva cup. I tried it years ago, and hated it. It hurt and it was messy and it leaked and I could never get it in right, despite reading and rereading the directions several times and trying my own ways. It wasn't worth the hassle of putting it in, the comfortableness of having it in, the possibility of leakage while it was in, and the fact that taking it out was extremely messy.
I'll stick with tampons and pantie liners. I've been using them for 13 years and I have never left a tampon in long enough to risk TSS.

The Moon Cup is the same thing as the Diva Cup and the Keeper Cup... I'm sure there are more variations on the same device and I just haven't heard of them. You don't have to be a feminist to want to control what goes into your body. The cup is a safe and effective way to deal with the issue of menstruation (it's also economical since you only have to buy one or two for your entire menstrual life). You basically empty the cup once in the morning and once at night...the rest of the time you can forget you're on your period and go about life as you would normally do so. They are the most safe and sanitary feminine hygiene product I've ever found.

Did all these men also have brown hair? Maybe I can take credit for that. Unless YOU invented it you have done nothing. That is like saying "oh, yeah so Newton liked to eat tomatoes, and not everyone likes tomatoes, clearly all people who eat tomatoes are smarter than everyone else. Those none-tomato eaters probably should feel grateful towards us." Sorry, but having a penis doesn't place you in the same realm. Furthermore, many men have taken credit for female inventions and discoveries in the first place. For example, Watson and Crick. Women also weren't allowed to be educated for a very long time, so they weren't given the same opportunities to invent things. So no. I don't feel grateful to you or any other man. I feel grateful for the inventor. Stop trying to take credit. PS: As another poster said, Hitler was a man. Should I go and assume all men are Hitler too?

No thanks. I don't want to insert something inside myself that will be difficult and messy to remove. I tried a cervical cap as a birth control method years ago and threw it away after one use. It wasn't too difficult to insert but it was hard to remove. When I got it out, a whole bunch of whitish discharge came out. I can't imagine how much worse it would be with blood and tissue in the mix. I've used tampons and pads for almost 36 years now and they have worked just fine.

I don't have any problem with it. Could just use organic cotton tampons if you're concerned about the environment or putting nasty chemicals in you.

If it was leak proof that could be a plus, but other then that...ick.
