I am/was a frequent (recreational) biker and always found it to be very compatible.<br /><br />I tried the Instead cup (which I understand was redesigned in the past couple of years and its satisfaction rating has dropped dramatically) but did not find it comparable to the Keeper in size, shape, or ease of use, so if you are thinking you'd like a Keeper, I would recommend skipping the Instead and just ordering a Keeper.<br /><br />I had the original rubber because it seemed like a more natural material, and I have been very happy with it, but I will note that you can't boil it to sterilize it like you can the silicone keepers or other menstrual cups. So if that is a concern, for travel or any other reasons, you may want to opt for silicone.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314610092174676404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256035960736706132.post-9166805320597338192009-08-02T00:13:26.364-05:002009-08-02T00:13:26.364-05:00I am very intrigued and think it's worth a sho...I am very intrigued and think it's worth a shot. Walgreens? I may check it out tomorrow :)<br /><br />Theoretically suction is suction...but do any of you ladies fancy yourselves the sporty type? I run and ride my bike 6 days a week.

I have friends now, who in their late twenties are horrified by the idea of this. "icky" " i could NEVER do that" "why would yu want to? gros."<BR/>and I"m saddened. though these are also women who somehow never became comfortable with the notion of the penis being called as such and have more than once referred to their husband's "thingy"<BR/><BR/>and i'm saddened. <BR/><BR/>but loving your posting. <BR/>yeah!<BR/><BR/>thanks for posting, katie!Family Bazaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09107517619468676562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256035960736706132.post-52386035993241225512008-08-11T17:19:00.000-05:002008-08-11T17:19:00.000-05:00Awesome review and you totally hit the nail on the...Awesome review and you totally hit the nail on the head with a lot of your points.
