In reply to lesinsolito. I've been a cup user for years (seriously, I even helped write this) and while I love it to death and would really rather not go back to disposables, they haven't made me like my period any more. It did nothing to reduce the length, and it did nothing to make my cramps hurt any less. I'm glad I use one and I recommend them to my friends, but they aren't a magical fantastical period loving machine for everyone. (Although I'm glad you've had that experience!) And, in case you don't click the link up there... Autostraddle did a cup article a couple years ago!
