LOL! You buy multiple pads, with multiple absorbency levels. :) They don't come in just one size. I just posted examples of them(for regular and medium flow days. ;)<br /><br />Many of these reusables were created by women who had heavy periods after childbirth, so you can find absorbencies made to accommodate heavy flow as well.<br /><br />It's basically the same way you'd buy different absorbency levels with disposables(if you do that). It's not any different, besides cleaning them. <br /><br />But if you're someone that doesn't like to clean(or wash clothes, ;)), it would DEF be an adjustment. *wink*KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663912567517357721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-74053322864907759282010-06-11T01:38:14.508-04:002010-06-11T01:38:14.508-04:00I'm kind of lazy so the stress of having to co...I'm kind of lazy so the stress of having to constantly clean the damn things keeps me from even considering it. Also, what about women with extremely heavy periods? Who wants to have to change and wash their pad every 20 minutes?Vida Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129699136298267226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-52009865458632627072010-06-08T21:59:24.546-04:002010-06-08T21:59:24.546-04:00My mother told me when she was growing up she used...My mother told me when she was growing up she used cloth for her periods, so this is not a new concept just foreign to our way of thinking because we are so used to disposables. She showed me once how they were worn...not pretty. These options you've shown in the links are much more do-able....in theory. Hahahaa! Let us know if you try it.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840503198333387141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-59747486612348497812010-06-08T21:39:02.745-04:002010-06-08T21:39:02.745-04:00Actually, I have to correct my self.

You just have to find which one works best for you as I found the Diva cup a bit uncomfortable myself. lol<br /><br />There's the Instead Softcup (http://www.softcup.com/), the Keeper and Keeper Mooncup (http://www.thekeeperstore.com/), the Lunette (http://www.lunette.com.au/), etc. And then you have sea sponge tampons. There are a lot of options. :)KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663912567517357721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-47436480469755624632010-06-08T20:29:56.434-04:002010-06-08T20:29:56.434-04:00Thanks for this post!

But I'm definitely interesting in trying them out. I've used the Diva Cup and wish I could've continued using it but it was putting pressure on my bladder.<br /><br />Thanks again for this info.ChocolateOrchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012098213623493976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-8823664179941604912010-06-08T18:24:02.804-04:002010-06-08T18:24:02.804-04:00It does take some getting used to.

LOL!<br /><br />It's foreign to most of us because we're accustomed to convenience and easy accessible/easy to throw away options.<br /><br />This is just NOW another option....again. ;)KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663912567517357721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-15804809954566589122010-06-08T17:21:24.498-04:002010-06-08T17:21:24.498-04:00Hi there...
