There's also the "Diva Cup". I heard about it from another site I go on. Its here:

It's a "cup" type thing that you use instead of tampons. You empty it somehow and reuse it that way. I've not used one, yet, but I do like the idea of how green these items are. Just can't bring myself to do it.I know that's irrational, but somethings are just ingrained too deeply, you know? Maybe someday.....
They say that they really are hard or messy to dump. You would think they would be!
