I heard really great things about the menstrual cup but from what I read (probably on the mooncup website, I can't remember) they can break the hymen like tampons so they're not suitable for everyone.Eden Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058596547565290014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853477990546994356.post-57534979778593219662011-08-11T19:10:46.904-05:002011-08-11T19:10:46.904-05:00I switched to cloth diapers for my 3rd baby, but I...I switched to cloth diapers for my 3rd baby, but I used disposable menstrual pads for my post-partum bleeding. Crazy, eh?<br /><br />When my fourth was born I bought a huge quantity of cloth menstrual pads and now that I have used them I would NEVER go back to disposables and tampons. In fact, my fertility just returned at 12 months post partum and I actually LOOK FORWARD to using my pretty pads! <br /><br />As the mother of 3 daughters, I can say that I will not be introducing their bodies to disposable pads when the time comes.<br /><br />And I intend to try the menstrual cup which I've heard is very convenient and easy to use.<br /><br />This was an interesting post--I enjoyed reading about the harmful effects of pads (although I switched because cotton flannel is just so SOFT in the post-partum days!)Patti @ Jazzy Mamahttp://www.angelbabyjazzymama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
