Thanks for posting an interesting poll!
I voted 'other' because I wear a diaphragm for flow control and contraception during my menses and a cervical cap as my primary contraceptive method during my inter-menses period. My 80mm Milex wide seal will hold about 65ml of flow and on a heavy day will fill in about 4 1/2 hours. Milex is a silicone rubber device and cleans up nicely afterward.
