LOL! It's a cup shape that you insert instead of wearing pads and tampons original.gif

Also wanted to ask is it necessary to wear a pad 'just in case'?

I have a different brand and I've used it for a few cycles now. I like it, I like not having to buy new products for every month. Mine was about $20 shipped so it doesn't take too long to be cost effective.

I have a Lunette cup and love it! Been using it for about 6 or so months and I'll never go back to tampons or pads.

I'd suggest wearing at least a liner for a bit until you get used to it - making sure you know how to tell if it is in properly etc.

I had a bad time with the stem the first time around and it stabbed me a bit so now I've got it trimmed right down.

I have been using one for the past four years. I would never go back to P&Ts. I have converted a few friends by buying them as b'day presents.
