    @katekatekateyeah: ah ok. If I could still edit my comment I'd say 'nutritional value'.

    I'm confused by this one anonymous commenter. WW is based on certain caloric values for foods: it is scientifically based. It's not there to tell you that Twinkies are -1 but a tomato is +10 because that's not even close to an approximate reflection of what the caloric content of those foods are.

    @brick frog: the right eye screams cut-and-paste to me.

    @lexluber: no worries. I don't actually know. I imagine cups are better in regular-use terms, but I'm not sure about the manufacturing processes behind both options, and I'm sure it varies brand-to-brand too e.g.: the DivaCup is silicone, the Keeper is rubber.

    @saraheartburn: having a second cup is a good idea. But the plastic container sounds like more hassle than I'd be prepared for. I honestly wouldn't be worried about TSS from a tiny toilet paper fibre, especially if at the next change the cup is rinsed in water.

    @BuffySummers: I don't either. Usually I squeeze the bottom of it til it 'pops' and I see/feel the seal.

    @Indil: personally I cramp less with the cup than tampons; I've seen other women say the same thing - speculation that the cup's suction relaxes the cramping muscles, or something

    @lexluber: in what way? They're very different designs... do you mean environmentally?

    @quietlymakingnoise: you don't have to clean it in a sink. Tip it into the toilet, wipe if you like, re-insert.

    @elleestbelleavecdumiel: it's a different shape to a diaphragm (more like a cup than a bowl) and sits lower in the vagina.

    @Misse913: officially they say 12 hours but the risks of TSS are practically non-existent because bacteria can't grow on the material.

    @domesticdork: I did not know that! Awesome. Thank you.

    "SheWantsNot" is the only feature this has that Amazon's wishlist doesn't. Plus it's needlessly gendered.
