What a great way to get to try new products!
I use a DivaCup 🙂
I use tampons (generally store brand) and have recently started trying the Lunette reusable cup.
Since my IUD causes me to not have a period, I don’t use anything. But when I DID have a period, or for any spotting, I use tampons. OB being my preferred brand.
Awesome little package! My mom would need the wash, especially since she leaks and randomly has periods.
An edit to add up there, I use a Lunette cup. Best thing ever.
I am so curious, never tried anything remotely like what’s in this package!
I use tampons but would love to try the cups.
Great giveaway! I’d love to try these products =-)
I’m using cups, but haven’t found the right model for me yet…
Since October of 2010 I have been primarily using a Diva Cup, but for my last period I primarily used tampons, as I have a box of them that I want to use up. I also use cloth menstrual pads.
I’m primarily using tampons, but waiting on my cup in the mail! 🙂
I use normally tampons:)
DivaCup
I USE TAMPONS WHEN I WANT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE THROUGH OUT THE DAY BUT I WANT A BETTER WAY TO NOT TIME MY TAMPON OFF AND TAMPON ON ALERTS..IT SUCKS..
Right now I dont use anything inserted, but I love this giveaway of natural for us woman.
I use tampons (generally store brands)
Don’t use tampons because they are full of toxins, want to try something natural. This looks like a great package!
Nope – not since the last kidlet was born.
I don’t use any internal ones, but I want to try a diva cup. 🙂 Sounds like a fun giveaway!
Tara.. I just love your site!!! Unfortunately, my {periods} are becoming more and more few and far between.. starting that NEW stage in life, if you get what I mean.. lol… and my sweet Calley has several years to go. HOWEVER… when it happens, I am coming here!! Love your blog.
What a cute giveaway. I’m in.
These products are awesome! Why didn’t they have stuff like this when we were little!? I’ve had a complete hysterectomy and my daughters are grown! I would have loved to had products like this when they started their periods!

If it were not for you I would still be using tampons. I had tried soft cups years ago but could never find them in the store. I thought they were no longer making them. THANK YOU!!
I use a reusable cup, but I like to keep a few tampons (organic cotton) around in my purse just in case!
i find that i have a strong dislike for drying out tampons and i am now exploring the option of menstrual cup hopefully the cup will work for me. 🙂
I use tampons.
tampons
What an awesome way to try out new products! And…I looked for the cups in Canada, not sure they carry them here.
No I do not I have been interested in trying. I do however use reusable pads
i use tampons i never use pads i find tampons cleaner but thats just my opinion:) i really wanna try the re-usable cups!
Wow, what a treat! You guys are awesome!
*heh* And to actually answer the question, I use the Diva Cup. I’ve been curious about the Soft Cup, though. I’ve heard that they’re a good segue for reusable menstrual cups, so maybe I could interest a friend in trying them.
tampons
I tried instead softcups & I’m going to try them again but I haven’t used any kind of tampon in years.
I regularly use tampons, but I’m going to try using a cup on my next cycle.
I regularly use tampons, I am definitely interested in checking out a cup though!
I use tampons and pads since my periods are so heavy.
I use tampons, I just started using the Lunette cup and I just got some sea sponge tampons to try!
I use tampons but they’re not my favorite option and have been considering giving a cup a try.
Great offer!
I currently use DivaCup, it’s great!
I use Tampons. Can’t wait to chat on Friday!
I just switched to the DivaCup and love it! I’d love to be able to try some other products as well!
I use tampons but wanting to switch to a menstrual cup. I rave about menstrual cups to all my friends like I already use them. LOL
I currently use tampons but have been interested in a cup.
I use tampons but my daughter uses both tampons and pads. I’ve tried the cup and I like it, it just takes some getting used to.
