I've always found tampons exceedingly uncomfortable - they always ended up doubled over inside me. I have a retroverted uterus which may or may not have something to do with that. I've also not had children. So I'm generally not comfortable with the reality of internal menstrual products even though I know many people who love their mooncups. :-) Lunapads have worked well for me - they're much more comfortable than disposable pads.
