It is called the "Keeper Cup" and it is used during your period. It is to be used in place of a tampon. The long tube part is suppose to act as the string. So, that is how you would remove it. The other part is, well, to collect fluid.
Does anyone really use these? I looked on the internet and found that people use the "Keeper Cup" to avoid the traps that the company's that create tampons and pads use to make us keep using the products. For example: there is a myth that some of these companies put fiber glass in the tampons so we will bleed more and in turn need more tampons. Sorry, but I like my tampons and I don't ever see me switching to the "Keeper Cup".

I dont think I could ever use one of those things but I do know people who do. I'll stick with the old stand by and use the tampons!
Umm...gross. It reminds me of the Instead cups. I never could get those in right and they were too messy.
No thanks. *shudder*
Ok, so I must ask, why was Beth buying a lesbian magazine?
And as far as the Keepers Cup, all I have to say is a plumber must have invented it! LOL They hate a clogged line full of tampons. Do you really think that would be comfortable? NOT But then again, I'm not a fan of ben-wa balls! OUCH!
ICK!
No comment... ;)
No I definitely do not see myself using the Keeper Cup. It sounds sort of gross to me (i'm not a big fan of Aunt Flo) :(
I'll stick with the tampons too!
onecrazylady--i don't understand how someone could use this either
casey--i've never heard of the "instead cups". sounds like the same thing
kitty--she didn't realize it was a lesbian magazine until she got it home. i agree..some man invented this..
anonymous--i second that
courtney--:)
patticake--i think it sounds gross to me too
sublime--me too
cristin--that's what i thought too. even if i found out they use fiber glass i think i would still use tampons
Give me tampons and pads please.
The cup.... ewwwww.
Once again, I am so glad to be my age!!!!!
Caroline,
Here's a link to show you what the Instead Cup is like: http://www.softcup.com/
Better than the Keeper Cup - at least offers more flexibility. :)
isabel--my thoughts exactly
lynilu--you're lucky
casey--thanks, i'll have to check it out
You actually made me wish I was a man for one brief second there. But then I remembered that I don't HAVE to use the Keeper Cup. Whew!
GAH, that is horrid.
keeper cup?
that's gross.
I've seen those advertised in the magazines too. I don't personally get it. How long would it last without going to the washroom? How comfortable would that be? I could see wanting to use something reuseable for the environment but I seriously doubt there is fibreglass in tampons. Isn't that supposed to be harsh cigarettes instead? I'm sure someone just used that story and applied it to tampons. You know how uncomfortable that would be? LOL
Hi, I have used the keeper cup for a few years. I guess i don't view my period or the blood as gross, but for the record it's quite easy to use and actually more convenient than tampons once you switch over. To each her own, right?
