"Instead"?!? DeltaBrat, you are kidding right?? "Catch the fluid before it got out"? How totally insane some people are! Exactly how big was the cup and how did it stay in place? On second thought...I don't want to know!

Searching, I assumed they were to be used during the menstrual cycle...I have to see this ad again.

I think that this is hilarious as well as RIDICULOUS!

Ladies, now come ON. The menstural cycle is something that happens, and all of us take the necessary precautions to prevent "accidents". But how can one prevent accidents by wearing a thong? And WHERE is this pad supposed to fit on the thong, anyway? And isn't the purpose of wearing a thong supposed to make you feel sexy? (besides not showing panty lines). I don't know about anyone else, but I DO NOT feel sexy when I'm all cramped up and bloated.

Sorry for my ranting, ladies.

The ideas some people come up with...

ROFLMAO about this one -- Sorry -- I didn't mean to come barging in on the topic. I was really here to post about the ivy leaves I saw in a catalog, but this really struck me! I think enough has been said on the topic that covers my opinion -- BUT -- have you seen the new Tampax commercial? The one where its the compact tampon, and they leave the guy alone in the room and he starts playing with it -- at the end he pops the inside out and its just hanging there -- gross! My hubby is like -- hello? Do they really need some help in their advertising department or what?

Anyway, it was along the same lines (no pun intended) and thought that I'd share.

OUCH!!!

Actually I just saw some "Instead Cups" at the CVS by my job. Ever heard of "The Keeper"? They have a web site (seriously): www.thekeeper.com or something like that. But it works the same as the instead cup (like a tampon, but no TSS) [b]EXCETP[B] you don't throw it away...you [i]rinse[i] it out. I think it's about time somebody came up w/ something besides pads and tampons, but I'm not so sure that this is the "something" I was looking for! Although the info on the web page about tampons (and my mothers voice telling me they cause death ) did make me pause...
Granted Aunt Flo' is here to stay, but good grief, do you really [b]need[b] to wear a thong when she comes to visit???

The thing that grosses me out about INSTEAD is...
1) it's a plastic looking cup (kinda resembles Today's Sponge-if you remember what that looks like)
2) it is held up by your vaginal walls
3) when you cough/sneeze/laugh, if the cup is full, then the liquid will run out due to the pressure....HOW SICK IS THAT????
4) if I'm not mistaken, you re-use it.

That's just my opinion.....

No offense taken, but that is just as nasty as wearing a maxipad with a thong on. Some ideas are just ridiculous.

I've been dying laughing over here! The reason being I recieved one of these "instead" cups in the mail. It came with dozens of reasons why it was revolutionary and blah blah blah...

I took it out of the wrapper and my mouth dropped open! This actually looks like a diaphram(Sp)

The instructins tell you to pinch the sides in and push it up with your longest finger! I was like WTF?????Then they have the nerve to tell you you'll feel it when it's in right!

oh and I forgot! They had the nerve to say you can have sex during your cycle because you'll be so much cleaner and free! I don't know about you but NO THANKS!

I agree with Chris Rock...The world has INDEED gone mad! lol
