I located a couple of stores that carry Instead, but after doing some research online, they're not for me. I need something with a handle or whatever to pull it out. I will get panicky if I have a hard time getting it out. Additionally, my interest is to reduce mess while sleeping (for as many as 12 hours), but from what I've read, removing the Instead cup is messy, as you have to grab the edge of the cup and pull it out. *Sigh!*

I'm on my period now. On the bright side, Tampax Pearl Lites finally are available in individual boxes.
