Hi there,
I am planning on having sex with my partner, and I am on my period. Any women out there use "Instead"? It is the alternative to a tampon.....supposed to be nicer to use during sex.....
I was wondering what your experiences with this has been, and if there have been any 'accidents', especially if having intense sex?
Men, if reading, and you have been aware of your partner using this, any feedback?
Thanks!
Fun~

Yes I've done it. Try getting used to using Instead during the day while you're not having sex and make sure you know how to insert it properly. After you're used to it and want to try it during sex, make sure you use a new cup and insert it just before. If it's been in for a while, then it could have collected a lot of blood that could possibly spill otherwise.

My experience with using Instead during sex was that as long as I put a new one in first, there was no mess or trouble. My husband could feel it in some positions more than others, but it wasn't a problem at all.
