I LOVE Instead! I switched to them for lots of reasons, and I tried switching back to OB after a few months-- I HATED it! I could totally feel it inside of me and it felt gross. Instead are great. You can leave them in longer, fool around with them in (no, it's not messy at all), and there's no string hanging out. You can't feel them if they're in properly. Seriously, it's like you don't have your period at all! You only have to deal with them twice a day. Taking them out can be a little messy the first couple of times until you get the hang of it, but we all wash our hands after going to the bathroom anyway, right?
