Menstrual Cups
...are amazing. If you've never heard of them, you might check out the following links for more info:
I have a Diva Cup, which I bought from Better Life for about $20 after shipping and handling. The Diva Cup website sells the cup for about $35 *and* they give you a year-long guarantee (which you don't get from cheap retailers like Better Life. Either way, though, the cup lasts you about 10 years, so you'll save money no matter what. BTW, there are also other brands that you can learn more about at posted links. But Diva Cup is the one I know, so that's my bias. Anyway, the cup will save you money, plus it reduces waste caused by pads and tampons.
But the most important thing is that it simply is the best method. It is cleanest, safest, and the most reliable of all. Pads and tampons don't stand a chance in comparison. Imagine this-- going through your whole period WITHOUT EVER having to wash a single set of linens or underpants. Ever. Not once during that entire week. NEVER. EVER. Zero. Can you imagine that? Being able to go out shopping or swimming or dating and not worrying about if you're leaking.
