Cloth PadsCloth Pads are just like the sound, they are made of cloth. Most are made from cotton or fleece. Unlike disposables, reusable pads do not have a sticky side and all of them have wings, the wings are what hold the pad in place while you are using it, they wrap around the crotch of you panties and snap into place. You can wear them for 4-6 hours and then change to a different reusable.

Menstrual CupsLike a tampon the menstrual cup is inserted into the vagina. It doesn't go as high up though. It collects the fluid just like it should with virtually no leaks. You can wear menstrual cups for 12 hours, but adjust this if you have a heavier flow. They are great for sports and swimming and you don't have to deal with the annoying string. Also they are totally safe and you have no chance of getting toxic shock syndrome with them!
