I've been considering the cup for a while now because it'd be cheaper and more eco-friendly than liners or tampons. Even though I don't bleed much and I don't have trouble with blood, the idea of emptying a silicone goblet full of stringy, gloppy period blood just grosses me out to no end.

How did you all get past the ick factor?
