Ok, so I have tried researching on various websites, but then I realized- why don't I jsut ask the helpful ladies of ivillage?

I am sooo tired of pads and tampons. pads seem to chafe and i worry about leakage, and I just plain don't like tampons. SO I went out and bought some instead cups since they are readily available. I hate them. They're huge and very uncomfortable, and they leaked. However, I am not too discouraged to try the reusable cups. I know they don't fit in the same way as the instead so there may be hope but I wanted to get opinions:

-Anyone use a reusable cup? Which one? How do you like it? Do you use the suuggested size? (I am about to turn 30-yikes!- have never had kids, but I guess that would put me over the edge for the larger size, but I'm not real sure about that...)

I have seen several posts on the Diva. Anybody try anything else? I am wondering about the mooncup. I read that it was shorter and thus more comfortable for many women. I'll take any advice you have.
Thanks for any help you can offer...
