Ok, I HAVE to chime in on this. That... thing looks awful.
Cotton is fine for the environment. This is like when PETA wrote to Ben & Jerry's asking them to use breast milk. Just because someone had an idea doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Environment be damned. Cotton is fine. This is like when PETA wrote to Ben & Jerry's asking them to use breast milk. Just because someone had an idea doesn't mean it's a good idea.
The PETA thing was weird, but nothing even like this. Anything that reduces the amount of waste going into a landfill has got to be a good thing. It's safe, re-useable etc so its all good.

Same could be said for so many other things, still doesn't make it a good idea.
Why use toilet paper? Lets just start using washcloths instead. It's better for the environment, right?

Apparently it does form a suction-like seal after you insert it, to stop leakages, but you just break the seal with a finger when you want to take it out.

Im not saying we should get rid of everything like that because in some cases (eg toilet paper) its just not practical. But in cases like this where you CAN use a more environmentally-friendly option, then it is a good idea.

No, I've never used anything like that. I would imagine if you're comfortable with an IUD or the ring thing that this wouldn't be much of a stretch.

To each their own, I guess. I think the alternative (cotton) is practical enough.

I've used these occasionally : http://www.softcup.com/ Before I had kids they didn't fit very well, after the first one it was better and then after the second kid they fit pretty well. I have a friend that swears by them, she's used them for nine or ten years.

Yes I have used one, a few years back. It actually works quite well in terms of the suction seal and whatnot, but I did have a couple of issues with it.
1. Once it's formed a seal, great, but actually getting it in and the seal formed can be a huge pain.
2. You need pantyliners or some kind of pad in addition to the mooncup, because, when you're taking it out or inserting it, blood is still flowing, and the mooncup only "catches" what's at the seal or above. Anything below is going to come out like usual, and there will be something.
3. Your hands get messy. Have to not only use toilet paper on your ladybits but on your hands and fingers, otherwise you'll get blood all over your clothes as you get dressed again.
So...yeah I'll pass. They have environmentally friendly pads too, you know, made of cloth and whatnot.

LOL is right. Oh the visual!!
Anyway, no and no. I remember seeing these things years ago (chances are it was via ACF), and the thought of using one hasn't grown on me since. I think the whole "Look! You can wash it in the dishwasher!" was extremely unappealing too.

No, but they are really popular on a female message board I post on. They mostly use the divacup though. It's not my thing although I do see the benefits.

I don't think I'd trust it. I'd be liable to spill the contents all over myself, or what if it leaks? Plus the insertion and removal sounds messy, not sure I could do it in a public bathroom. I'll stick to tampons, thanks.

THIS! Even tho I have had no use of any 'feminine hygiene products' as they are euphemistically called, since my mid-forties, if I had ever tried to use such a thing, it would have ended up looking like Charles Manson had been in the room!

A friend of mine years ago used to use one, she said as far as spilling goes it never gets full enough to spill, unless you were like throwing it around and stuff (or unless you left it in for like 24 hours or something). I have to admit im intrigued, i do like to do what i can for the environment and it saves money in the long run (not a lot, granted, but you cant argue that it does save money). I might try those softcups first, and if i like those then move up to the mooncup.
