I actually really like using the Keeper, which is mentioned on the page you linked to about menstrual pads. For me, it is so much more convenient since I tend not to carry a purse or bag around in which I can keep hygiene stuff, so it is worth it for me since I can avoid the whole hassle of having to run home or find a vending machine in some store bathroom. It doesn't work perfectly and doesn't plug you up entirely like a tampon does, but even if you use one or two pads with it on the first few days of your period, the reduction of the number of disposables used is still significant (as is the monetary savings).
