Do they help with pains? I haven’t had a period in almost 2 years but dreading when I do.

Some people say they can? But as I get older the more painful they become. I've used cloth pads now for 4-5 years
Oh no that’s not good. I’m early 20’s and the pains horrific
Does anyone who uses the cloth one have very heavy periods? I have fibroids and due to this I have heavy periods and heavy clots. I currently have to use night pads at day time. I had considered a moon cup but worry about how to empty it at work? Sorry if tmi
That’s me too, and I haven’t leaked once using cloth!
Cups are very easy to change apparently. Maybe look at some YouTube videos. I personally cant use cups or any internal products so I'm not much help there!
I think what the OP meant was rinsing the cup out at work would be tricky if you there are no hand basins in the actual cubicle .
For me personally that was the issue
I have been using wuka period pants for over a year, I have really heavy periods and often leaked. The wuka pants are comfy, wash in the machine, good quality and no leaks. Hope this helps
My cloth sanitary pads have been delivered, excited to start using them .
Can I use them as panty liners ?
Can I use them as panty liners ?

Just take in a water bottle to rinse out the cup in the toilet
A few videos I've seen people take a water bottle and some fem hygiene wipes
The issue is I'm a District nurse so I'd either be using a public toilet or asking to use a patients which I wouldn't feel comfortable doing. Not sure I could do it in the public toilets lol
That makes complete sense! Some of the pads you can get are amazingly absorbent. Educate yourself on different types of pads and materiels used in making pads and you should be able to find the right pad for you. My go to brand and pads are from honour your flow, they are amazingly absorbent, beautiful and so well made. But I know a few that hate them due to shape and size. Another great seller is yurtcraft, so absorbent yet so slim but an American seller so can be pricey in shipping and tax! Crimson moon (a brilliant UK seller which does customs pads) do/did incontinence level pads which are rated highly so I'm pretty sure there will be a pad out there for you. It's just finding it, search YouTube, Facebook groups and search Etsy for sellers as there is so many different ones which are all good buy some, give them a go. If you don't like them, sell them on and get more.
Can anyone recommend any small businesses that make them?
If I end up in a toilet without a sink and need to empty it, I usually empty it onto some tissue in the toilet and then wipe it clean before reusing it. I will then wash it properly next time I'm at a sink
Honour your flow (website), crimson moon (Etsy and Facebook group) and MuffDusters (Etsy). (UK based companies. All small!)
LOL at MuffDusters
definitely NSFW pads 
Ooo mine have arrived, they are very pretty!
Urm ladies, stupid question but what way do they go up?!
