yeah, I've thought of the leaking part too. Since if it's tampon, one of the indication is the string itself will be bloody.
So I guess cups are useful when your period is not that heavy anymore as you can save tampons + pads.
I'm kinda curious to try it out but scared a little hahaha. The idea of putting it inside!!

Actually this one you can feel like got air coming out. Cause it uses pressure to hold the cup in place, when the cup gets fills up, the air has to go somewhere. That's my theory la, but I also not sure

when I feel got air coming out and like a little wet, then I'll go check if it's leaking or not.
Yup. Can save on pads and tampons. Especially for some like me, my 3rd and 4th day usually almost nothing, then 5th day continue with some light bleeding. So I just wear the cup and clean it twice a day. Sometimes I forget that I'm even on my period, that's how comfortable it is for me. I can never ignore the fact that I have a tampon inside me lol. It also doesn't dries out like a tampon does when the flow is not heavy.
There are different sizes, get the smallest one first and try try. Takes some time to get used to it. I almost gave up when it kept leaking cause didn't insert properly. There's a livejournal website on menstrual cups with lots of info, maybe you can google it up, read a little and decide again whether it's for you or not
