They're AWESOME! I had one for three years until I finally lost it on a backpacking trip (packed it in my dog's backpack along w/other 1st aid stuff, and she go swimming and the backpack floated away down the river - haha). They will save you a TON of money because they are reusable. They do receive a bit of a stink going on at about the fifth hours of daylight, but since you are lighter by that time in your cycle anyway, just a 15 min. soak in some vinegar dampen should take concern of that problem. I like it becaues it doesn't perceive so DRY when you take it contained by and out like tampons, you'll never be short it or "run out" at an inconvenient time/place, and I was worried going on for toxic shock syndrom from tampons. I also get pretty generous clots sometimes, and those just slip right by a tampon and ooze out. The mooncup will catch it. The sucky piece though is when you need to rinse it in a public bathroom. My suggestion is to take a sm. bottle of marine w/you. Or you can just wipe it dry w/ some T.P. Good luck!
