Besides any savings, I like the idea of less disposable stuff. Not just to save the environment, but since I like less clutter, that's one tiny box to have instead of stockpiled cheap tampons in the cupboard.

Since The Pill, my periods may be light enough to attempt them. Prior, it would not have been an option (bad days equalled a super ultra an hour!).

I think I'll try my Insteads that I have left next cycle, and if I'm low volume, take the step.

You are absolutely right about the all or none thing not having to limit us. I was reading a Vegan brochure a long time ago to tell people how to mildly recruit (I'm not vegan, but a close friend was at the time). The idea was if someone said, "I'd like to go vegan/vegetarian but I could never give up (ice cream, bacon, eggs) whatever, that you could say, well do it except for (ice cream, bacon, eggs. That freed my head up. No, I didn't go vegan, but I did realize that I could commit to something quite a ways but not do all of it.
