Pads and cups

[GraceUnhearing]

im just wondering of anyone uses both?

i have a few cloth pads and am just waiting for AF to return (im not in any hurry for that! She can stay away as long as possible)

but i've decided to get a diva cup, as i only ever use tampons but pads at night.

but i rad that you can use the cup at night as well.

so does anyone use both?
or should i get rid of the cloth pads and just get a cup instead?

i would get the cup and keep the pads. pads are good for the light days when it isn't very much there. maybe get a few liners instead of thick cloth pads.

i wear my cup overnight too as i hate pads.

I use both. I use pads for the 1st couple of days as it's quite heavy, but the next day I'll use the cup. Then a liner for the next day of spotting.

Some people don't feel comfortable wearing the cup overnight - I haven't bothered as I have plenty of pads that I really love using!

If you were going to use the cup most of the time, I'd suggest just a few pads for just in case, even if they're just liners.
