I Tried a Menstrual Cup For the First Time, and It Was a Revelation

But here's the best part: you can leave the cup in for 12 hours. Twelve! I tend to have heavy periods, and I was worried I'd have to empty the cup more often, but it is large enough that I really only had to empty it every 12 hours. It stays put during sneezing, sh*tting, and working out. That means you can go an entire work day without changing a tampon. Count me in! The seal created by the edges of the cup also prevented leakage of any kind.
