    When the Instead Cups first came out, my roommate started using them because she had developed TSS from tampons and wasn't supposed to use them anymore. She said if you didn't keep the cup totally level when you pulled it out, the blood would spill everywhere. And you can wear the cups for up to 12 hours so that's 12 hours worth of blood spilled on your bathroom floor. One day she starts screaming for help from the bathroom, I rush in there and she's got blood EVERYWHERE and says, "I'm gonna need your help disposing of the body."

    I don't advise wearing it for 12 hours if you are heavy. It is a gross mess if you do. I have a technique though. I pull it out sitting on the toilet and dump it out in the toilet before I get up. It took me awhile to get the hang of that though.

    After 3 c-sections I have the first 2 days with absolutely no way to work cause of clotting. Hasn't mattered if I use a cup, tampon or sponge. There is just no way. I have used the cup to work before on lighter days, it can definitely be hard to change at first, and it will be messy when you do. On my last 2 days I can wear it for 8-10 hours, but my first 2 I'm lucky if I get 2 hours. Of course in comparison I was going through a super tampon and a pad in an hour. This is my first go round with sponges and it's around 2-3 hours, of course I'm still using a pad too just cause when I cough or sneeze I can feel it.

    I also have a hot pink fuzzy blanket that I sit on for that week. My regs I think kind of know why I have it, but they don't mention anything about it, besides that they love my blanket. The rest of the time I keep it nearby and many guys have asked what I'm wearing when I cover my legs with it, they've thought it was fuzzy pants, so it's kind of a joke.

    LMFAO! See, I can envision that Exact same thing happening to me! That's why as tempted as I am to try the cups, knowing myself and how bad I am when it comes to maneuvering around in my lady parts, I'd only try them if I wasn't camming at all for those days AND was willing to wear a back-up pad 24/7 just in case. I think they sound great once you get the hang of how to insert them and remove them, but I have a feeling I'd be behind the curve on that one. I've also read about too many girls saying they accidentally tipped their cup during a toy show. No thank you, ma'am! I'll stick with my tampons, although sea sponges do sound like another excellent alternative. So now I wonder what's the difference between tampons and sponges as far as efficacy and safety?

    Unless I'm bleeding like a stuck pig I use natural sea sponges. Like the kind you can get in the beauty store. Cut them from that giant orange/yellow sponge into small, inch "square" pieces, like a big ole' sponge tampon. Boil the pieces for a few minutes to sanitize them, wring the water out (make sure your hands are clean first or you've just defeated the purpose of boiling them) and let them cool down on a paper towel...well, unless you WANT very warm sponge up in ya'.

    Can't tell they're there unless you're really pounding away and you can easily tell when/if they're saturated and about to let the red sea loose. For me they usually last 4-6 hours. Best part is you can wash them and re-boil them. Use them as long as you want or throw them out/compost them.

    To get them out, just squat and push two well lubricated fingers in there. You can pinch the sponge and just drag it back out.

    That is a fucking hilarious story! I can totally verify it, too. I used to use them but they were so hard to take out w/o spilling. If you're home you can just get in the shower and murder someone all over the shower floor. If you're out and you need to change it you're kinda screwed. Plus, once I forgot I had one in all day, got drunk and fucked a guy. His dick hit the rim and POW! Day worth of blood ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'd had sex with them in before and nothing happened, they never even budged. Just that one time though...that was enough.

    As I was reading about the sponges I was wishing there was a disposable version...but wait....that's a tampon. I like how some of you use a tampon really high up and cross ways so I'm wondering about the advatages of a sponge over a tampon.

    My doctor currently has me trying a mini pill and it's making me bleed constantly (she says it may settle after a few months...I doubt it as nothing else has ever worked before) but sometimes light enough to use just a regular or super tampon and I think I could cam if I could get used to removing the tampon. I think I would trust it more than a sponge but I'm open to advice here, ladies!

    Sea sponges all the way. I will never use tampons again. I can't use the cups because they hurt me, and for the same reason others mentioned- they leak.

    I use sponges and wash them out once an hour while camming. If I'm not camming, I can go about 5 hours without washing it out.

    I would NOT microwave my sponge for the same reason I wouldn't boil it-- it will ruin it a lot faster. But I suppose if you're just using the bath sponge kind, they're cheap, so go for it. There are a few solutions for cleaning: tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, colloidal silver, peroxide. I use tea tree oil (about two drops per 1/2 C warm water, soak for 10 min, rinse) while on my period, and peroxide at the end of my period when am done with sponges for the month so I can get some of the staining out.

    I found it to be a little messy at first, but I'm used to it now. I always carry an extra one in a plastic bag in my purse when I'm on my period. Then I never have to wash it out in a bathroom at the store. I just put the used one in the plastic bag, seal it, stick it in my purse. Take out the fresh one, wet it in the sink, squeeze it out, insert.

    I haven't had an yeast infection, UTI, or anything since I started using sponges. My periods are shorter and less painful now. And you know what it feels like to pull out a dry tampon? Horrible, right? Well, pulling out a "dry" sponge doesn't hurt like that (mostly b/c you wet it & squeeze it out before you put it in) and because it's not as abrasive as a tampon. So if you think you're going to start, you can go ahead and put one in.

    If you're cutting them, you can make them wider than you think you'd need b/c they squish down. You can start big and trim around the circumference. I use silicon lube to help insert mine. I carry a travel-size one in my purse.

    DON'T USE SYNTHETIC SPONGE

    You can get REAL sponges from certain stores, though I haven't seen them in stores anywhere yet. I ordered mine online. They're kind of expensive, but still a lot cheaper than tampons, and I use mine for at least 4 months.

    ^Oh, and same applies for sponges as for the cup. Take it out while you're on the toilet. Otherwise, you might have a mess on your floor. It takes a while to develop a system, but I keep a little bowl on my bathroom counter while I'm on my period. I take the sponge out while sitting on the toilet, put it in the bowl until I'm ready to deal with it. Then wash the sponge and the bowl out, fill the bowl with warm water and tea tree oil, soak the sponge. Put in the new sponge (rinse it with warm water, squeeze it out, insert). Let the old sponge soak for a while, then wash it out and let it dry out.

    I know everyone has a different routine, but that's what I do

    I really want to try the sponges, thanks for the link Jess. It does really suck trying to pull dry tampons out yyeeeeow! I like the fact that you can cut the sponges to any shape or size that you might need. And less trash disposal too. I live in an area with septic tanks, so it's bad to flush tampons here

    I have to wait for my period to end before I can do anything because I am in bed curled up! I had surgery for it and it did not help. So now just waiting on menopause to hurry and get here. I wish I could just use a tampon and work but the pain is so bad.

    I am so glad I come to this forum or I never would have found out about the sea sponges. I already ordered a small and medium from jade and Pearl. I am so excited to start using them! No more tucking my string @ work (dancer) and can cam during hopefully! I also am looking forward to not having nasty waste in my garbage can even if it's only there for a couple days it makes me feel eh. In addition to being a cheaper alternative! I also hate how dry tampons make me. I will be testing these in the bed as well.

    when I was escorting, we used makeup sponges, the kind you use to apply foundation. what I would do, is put a little lube on one side of the sponge, and then use a brush handle or toothbrush handle to insert it horizontally so that it covers your cervix completely. It works like a dream! and collects the blood too so that you dont end up with a mess. Even now I use them to sex my bf when im on mine. I started out trying to use the cups, maybe its just my vajayjay (their all different you know), but it didnt work at all! It was terrible and messy.

    I just remembered that I saw someone selling these on Adultwork. They look pretty cool but I think they're only available in the UK or online. They look like they might be more absorbant than sea sponges. Has anyone else tried these?

    As for why sea sponges are superior to tampons:

    - for me, wearing a tampon during insertion is uncomfortable

    - tampons contain nasty chemicals like bleach and dioxin (organic cotton tampons do not but they are pricey, not widely available and doesn't solve the above or below issues)

    - TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) as mentioned in an earlier post, tampons carry a risk of TSS that sea sponges do not due to the fact that a dry tampon can tear the vaginal lining and let in bacteria

    - better for the environment---less waste in landfills and sponges are a renewable natural resource

    - cost effective

    - most men can't feel it during sex (it squishy so it just feels like the rest of your insides) --not too relevant to camming

    - natural sea sponges actually have enzymes in them that inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria

    Btw, I've heard that it is possible to use synthetic sponges but I don't think it's wise. Most synthetic sponges contain harmful chemicals.

    Cons to using Sea Sponges:

    I found this when I googled "sea sponge menstruation benefits"
    "[...] sea sponges are technically no longer allowed to be sold as menstrual products. In late 1980, menstrual sponges sold commercially were examined by a University of Iowa laboratory and found to contain sand, grit, bacteria, and various other contaminants. Other studies have found chemical pollutants and fungi in sponges sold for menstrual use. The Centers for Disease Control have documented a least one case of toxic shock syndrome associated with the use of a sea sponge."

    Although I don't know why this person thinks sponges can't be sold as menstrual products as they are still quite available online and in natural food and health stores.

    Jade & Pearl claims to wash theirs very well and to pick out any kind of coral or anything and sanitize them. But I also sanitize mine before wear (and in between and after). I don't doubt there are some drawbacks. But I also know that women have been "on the rag" since the beginning of humanity and didn't need processed, bleached, chemically-treated products to help them. Grass, moss, cloth.... those worked fine for them. I was weirded out by the sponges at first, but I've been using them for 6 months now, and I can honestly say that it feels so much more natural, healthy, and responsible for my body.

    I just can't sing the praises of these sponges enough. All I can say is... if you try the sponges you will just KNOW that tampons are bad for you. The first month was a little awkward, but after that it was like, "Wow, this is what it's like to not rip out my insides with tampons."

    I have endometriosis, and I've had surgery for it, so I know what it's like to have extremely painful cramping, and the sponges hurt a lot less than tampons. Pads are best, of course. But the sponges feel more natural. And if you wear one and you feel pressure, then trim it down so it's not so wide. Once I trimmed mine I couldn't even feel it. It was great.

    I'm going to start using natural pads next. They're too expensive to buy, so I plan on making mine. But the Jade and Pearl site also has a natural wash that you can use on your pads that breaks down the blood naturally and isn't harmful for the environment.

    Also, this company is environmentally responsible. They are careful who they hire to harvest the sponges. And sponges are a naturally-renewing resource. It's nice to feel more comfortable and feel good about doing my tiny part for the earth

    I'm planning to try this sea sponge thing, I like its reviews here. Maybe not for camming, but in general. I really hate tampons, and pads are eww when I am home alone they are ok but anyways..

    I always have cramps when I have my period. Fortunately it is short, so financially it doesn't really hurt me, and I like to have an excuse besides laziness.

    Honestly my only reason to wish I was working is that.. my boobs are HUGE then. I'm so sad when my period ends. My boobs are back to normal, and I always miss the big twins.

    I try to take that week off but if I can't (more often than not I can't) I wait until my first day or two is over 1st day is heaviest and cramps second day is pretty heavy. day 3 I can put a tampon in and tuck the string, buy some make up sponges and put those in (DO NOT REUSE THROW IT AWAY! sorry I know some one who reused one after washing it and it just doesn't seem sanitary) or I can put an instead cup in and work. I'm afraid my dildo will catch it the wrong way and pull it out though lol. as for instead cups being messy, well not so much for me. I dump it in the toilet when I change it and then place the used cup back in the pouch and wrap it in toilet paper and throw it in the trash. these are more comfy than tampons to me and I use way less of them. 8 or 9 bucks and I can get through almost 2 periods. I change 3 times on days one and 2 or just use a pad or tampon since I don't work those days any way. then days 3 through 5 I use 1 all day during the day. day 2 I use a tampon at night. days 4 and 5 I use a panty liner at night and still wake up dry.

    Huh, I must say that hasn't been my experience. I've had sex with my sea sponges in and even though they noticed they never said it hurt.

    That's why I said probably wont work because it didn't work for me. It did hurt cause I could feel him pushing the sponge real deep I.could barely breathe.
