More and more women are switching to menstrual cups, and they claim that Aunt Flo's monthly visits have never been easier. (In case you haven't heard of them — though we're guessing you have — a menstrual cup is, well, a silicone cup designed to catch menstrual fluid, thus negating the need for the traditional tampons or pads.)

Yes, you have to be "comfortable" with yourself, but once inserted, the cup should form a seal that prevents leaks. They can stay in place for up to 12 hours and when used correctly, they don't even feel uncomfortable.
