Just take it out every 2-6 hours and you'll be golden. They don't hurt at all and you don't really have to worry about staining or anything like that. Tampons won't fall out either. They expand when they get moistened, and you have to pull a tiny bit hard for it to come out. The string is very very veryyy strong though.
Tampons are also less expensive.I love tampons. Now I'm not even all that disappointed when my period comes.
Mooncups seem cool but I don't think we have them in America.
Maybe online?? I know people keep telling me that but I'm still scared of using them. Probably because I've never had anything in my vaj before.
That and mom says that you're only supposed to use them after you lose your virginity. So if I were to start using them, she'll assume I've become a whore. D:
I've heard of sooo many girls experiencing pain with tampons so I know it would happen to me since I'm super-sensitive down there.
What your mom says about using tampons is not true. I started using tampons at 14 and I'm still a virgin.

Yeah. I'm still apprehensive towards the idea. I wouldn't know how small of one to get and I don't know if I'm ready to use one. I know they go into the vaj but I don't know how to do it and I don't think I can handle the stress of learning how right now. >.<

I always hated pads because my flow was very very heavy so they sometimes leaked outthe corners and stained my clothes - very embarasing!
Tampons are more effective but they cost money and are bad for the environment.
I was very happy when I found out about "The Keeper" - which is similar to the Moon Cup
I had the same one for almost 10 years - because you can steralize it yourself they are much more cleaner and safer (toxic shock is caused by growth of bacteria on tampons which are produced in filthy factories and stored in Warehouses - that sometimes have rats) - Menstral Cups are also better for the environment 
If I calculate my savings over that 10 year period (sorry bad pun), I saved almost $700 which is more than the company projects in their sales pitch

i can't use these because ummmmm.... my fingers are too short. can't even reach my own g-spot, sigh.

Those Mooncups and Keepers look huuge. I don't think they could fit inside me.
hyperlexian - my fingers are short too.

heh, probably the length of a woman's vag, or at least how deep her cervix is, would make a difference too.
i asked my gynecologist about it last time i had a pap smear. he had to get a different length of speculum (the contraption that opens the cervix), so i leaned up on my elbows and i asked him if there is any correlation between the length of speculum required and a woman's height. he said no. i expected there would be.... ?

I tried tampons before when I wanted to go swimming. But they freaking hurt! Don't pretend they don't. Or maybe I am just too small or it's cuz I'm a virgin.
I'm a virgin and it's not hard to find a good size.
They're mostly comfortable if your flow is heavy by the way. If your period is really light then just stick with pads, or else the tampon will be uncomfortable.

Yeah, my periods are usually light-medium flow so pads are easier for me.

hyperlexian - Really? I would have thought so too. So what does make the difference in size? :O
he didn't have an explanation.
funny though, cuz penis size is generally correlated to height i think.
I don't think that's true either. My ex was like 5'6", which is short for a guy and he had a relatively large schlong. I think it's just genetics.
