Do they still have those cup type of things? Some
name like Assure or something? It was like a diaphram but it went up there and
stopped the flow rather nicely. It was in the tampon aisle. Before my
hysterecomy, I used those and could exercise/run/ride for couple hours. They
help with clots and heavy flow. Do they still make those? Great invention. The
2nd greatest invention is a hysterectomy! Not to have a period is the most
amazing thing. Had twin babies, got fibroids and was happy to get rid of my
uterus.

Oh, Heidi. I would have to describe my second day as
hemorraging. OB makes a "super duper" tampon that comes in the purple
box. It is as big as a 12 guage shotgun shell. On my worst day,
that will work for an hour and a half. I can blow through a Tampax super
plus tampon in 1/2 hour. So that gives you a frame of
reference. At 46, I am really looking forward to menopause.
