If you're interested then I would definately say try something like a mooncup. One of the benefits of it is that there is no risk of TSS so theoretically you can leave it in for quite a few hours (I would sometimes forget and have it in all day without rinsing out). It doesn't leak if placed properly, and if you are not regular you can use it when you don't have your period yet beforehand and hopefully stop any blood in your shorts issues. For that, just use any soap. I used something like this for everything (me, hair, dishes, clothes etc...)
