Everyone who can, should switch to a cup and reusable pads. I used to fill our bathroom trashcan overflowing during that time, and I don't anymore. The cup takes a bit of a learning curve, but becomes second nature. It's far less wasteful, more sanitary, and doesn't contain... apparently... Arsenic or lead. Plus, unlike tampons, you can leave it in all day or night and then forget about it. I'll never look back!!!
Sorry if it's a stupid question, can you swim with a cup? It's the only reason I use tampons for.
Yes you can.
Not a stupid question. You absolutely can!
