It might just be my anatomy, but I had problems with them leaking a little and always had to use a panty liner with them. They're kind of hard to deal with if you need to change them in a public bathroom, which led me to use them only at night. The nicest thing about them is that you can have sex with one in place during your period and not have any mess. It was also difficult at first figuring out how to put them in place. You have to make sure to read the instructions carefully.
There's also the Keeper, it's not disposable so those are more cost effective, but the way they're shaped means you can't have sex while using one.
As for how easy are they to use...Taking them out is a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it is super easy. It also works well during sex, but you do have to use a back up method with it. It doesn't protect against pregnancy or std's. Hope that helps!

I have used them for 5? years with no problem. You know they’re only feminine hygiene, not birth control right? I like them because my flow isn’t very heavy and tampons seem to dry me out.
I don’t think they were available at Wal-Mart when I started using them. I buy them at Target, and I think that several drug store chains carry them.
My favorite thing is that you can have sex with them in and not make a mess. (I find it’s best to use a fresh one right before for the neatest results.) Dh loves that I use them and wonders why more people don’t know about themJ
Tip, kind of bear down when you go to take them out and it’s easier to get your finger under the rim. The only time I have leakage is if I have a bowel movement when wearing one. Gross, tmi, I know, but that is the kind of stuff that’s nice to know before you try something.
Good luck!
thanks again julie
So, good luck and if you do try them, let us know how it goes! I think I will try them too.
