RedRoseSAI, I refer to those individuals, and to my cousins' wives, as "cousins-in-law."

My ex roommate talked about a product called "Instead", which are sort of like mini latex ring cups you insert. Too weird for me though.

Yuck, that sounds, umm, messy.

Actually, it's not. I find it much cleaner than tampons, which always leaked for me (whichever kind I used). The first time around with Instead it took some practice, but now I can get them out without making a mess at all. You can wear them for double the time you'd usually wear a tampon, up to 12 hours. So if you have to change a tampon every 2 hours, you wear Instead for 4. The material that they're made from hasn't been found to breed the TSS bacteria like the cotton/rayon of tampons, but if you've had TSS you're not supposed to use any internal protection anyway. And yes, sex, etc., is fine with them.
PS: They're also discussed
here.
