You are welcome.

I have tried Instead simply because I think I should have experience with most of what I recommend. I had leaks every night that I used them and needed a pad as backup. Eva has had better luck. We both use Divas now.

The average woman will use over 6,000 tampons during her lifetime. That is a lot of stuff to be disposed. Instead is polyurethan and will last a very long time laying in a ladfill. Part of my liking reuseable cups is that but the other is that in many years I have never had a failure (read embarassment or mess).

Instead are quite pliable and in a fixed diameter. If you are that size, it should do a great job. If you are a different size, it will likely leak.
