I've just started on the pill so that I won't be menstruating when I go on a bike tour in France in early June. Obviously I will need to pee every 4 to 6 hours, but as a pre-menopausal woman with very heavy bleeding, I'd need to change my tampon/pad every 1-2 hours, and I'd prefer not to have to find a restroom that often while cycling through the French countryside.

I haven't used a menstrual cup in years, but I suspect that it would have more capacity than an ultra super tampon + pad, and would probably be more comfortable during physical activity.

Ok, that was more personal information than I was really planning to share with the entire world.
