I personally like the Lily cup compact sooo much more than anything else. I've used pads and tampons all my life but with the cup there's less spending and a little less worry. I'm not going to lie the first time using it was a little uncomfortable but after a while it doesn't feel like anything is there. I also work out and move a lot at work and there's rarely any leaks unless my flow is heavier that month. Also, when you're done with that month you just get to clean it and put it away in its little case which is so cute 💖
