Get rid of tampons!

I've been using this since I was 14 and it's perfect. It's perfect if you have a heavy flow and want to stop worrying about it. I personally put it in in the morning and take it out before my shower at night. It never overflows. It's so comfortable for sleeping. I find it very clean and there is no risk of toxic shock which is a concern of mine.

Where has this been all my life??

I started using the Diva Cup about a year ago, and I haven't looked back. I will admit, it was tricky to use the first couple months, but after you get the hang of it, it's soo easy. No leaks, environmentally friendly, discreet, and I find not as messy as pads or tampons. I do not miss pads or tampons. I will never go back!

Ma nouvelle vie

Wow! Mais quel bon produit. Je ne peux plus m’en passer! Quand je repense au temps où je mettais des tampons! AYOYE! C’est fini! J’ai vraiment adopté la coupe. Elle ce moule bien à ma morphologie et le fait qu’elle soit constituée de sillicône n’endommage pas ma peau.

Eco-friendly, budget friendly, and easy to use

I love the diva cup. I was introduced to it a number of years ago and I haven't looked back! I travel a lot so it's much easier to carry one little cup around as compared to a whole pack of tampons and pads. I really like how it keeps things leak free overnight, that was something that tampons could never do for me. I also love how eco and budget friendly it is!

I found that it could be tricky to put in at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a sinch. Additionally, it's super easy to clean and disinfect with a little bit of water and hydrogen peroxide. I know that all women have different prefences but I would really urge women to try this out.

Life Changer!

a friend gave me one as a gift and I thought it was a joke, but I tried it anyway. It did take a while to get used to, and practice with in the shower to really get to know how my body would adjust to it. But it's been almost a year of No tampons, no pads, no leaks and NO WORRIES. I know it sounds gross, but it changed my life.

The Divacup: Is it a Hit or Miss?

The Divacup is one of a thousand menstrual cup types & brands that are produced these days. The first Divacup model (Size 1) is specifically for women who have not had a child, teenagers (who already use tampons), and women who are under the age of 30 years old- which is all clearly stated on the packaging!
Before we get too technical though, let just talk about the elephant in the room… YEP- this is indeed a silicone cup to catch your menstrual blood. There is no nice way to put that. Kind of like a tampon is a weird spongy tube that soaks up your menstrual blood. But they are both SO MUCH MORE than that! Now I have many friends who are tried and true believers in traditional tampons, and that’s great! I don’t judge anyone- if it works for you, sweet! However, in my opinion they are just bad for you! Getting your period is although somewhat unpleasant, a very natural thing, and well, the crap tampons are made of is anything but natural. However, this is very much besides the point!
Back to the mysterious Divacup… The first thing you might wonder about as you contemplate weather you are intrigued or thoroughly grossed out, is how it actually works.
Here is how: the cup creates a seal with the walls of your vagina and catches your flow. The Diva Cup is made of high quality silicone. It does not contain chlorine, dyes, colorings or additives. It is also scent-free and stays scent-free during and after use, which we cant say about pads.
Next Question- Is it difficult to insert the diva cup? Not one bit but there is a learning curve. You may not figure it out the first time. Or the second time. It may take months before you get into a rhythm. I suggest getting a feel for down there. Yes, literally. Your fingers will need to go inside of your vagina. You have to be very comfortable with your body to do this. Don’t beat yourself up if this isn’t easy. Stay relaxed and be patient with yourself.
Is inserting the diva cup painful? No. If it’s painful, that means you have inserted it incorrectly. I find inserting tampons far more painful and uncomfortable than inserting a menstrual cup. If at any time, you find inserting or removing the cup to be painful, STOP and try again. If it continues to be painful, you should discontinue use and speak with your doctor.
Now for the big question: how is removal? it seems nasty… A lot of women may freak out at the sight of their menstrual blood in a cup, but again that is a case by case issue. he removal is actually easier than you think. Grabbing the bottom of it and gently squeezing it can relieve the Diva Cup’s suction. From there, you pull down and gently tilt the Diva Cup’s bottom toward the ground. Discard, rinse and reuse! I will say this…removal can be challenging in public restrooms. Keep in mind that the outside of the cup does NOT have menstrual flow on it. You shouldn’t get blood on your fingers at all.

To recap, I think that this product is a wonderful alternative to using tampons and pads. It is something you need to get used to, and practice at but in the long run it should not be painful or uncomfortable or unsanitary. It is extreamly cost effect, environmentally conscious, and a brilliant option for 1000s of women around the world. How do you know if its for you?- my best advice would be to try it out and see first hand!

No need for pads/tampons!

I truly can't believe I waited SO LONG to try the Diva Cup. Though there is a small learning curb, once you get the hang of inserting the cup it is a god send! I have saved so much money not having to purchase other sanitary products.

Ecofriendly and effective

I love my diva cup. I've been using it for almost a year now and it's so convenient. You literally put it in and forget about it toll you get home. It's eco friendly, doesn't create waste and is odorless. Women might find it gross to have a cup full of blood when you empty it but I actually find it really intresting as you could learn a lot about your menstrual cycle with it. The only inconvenient thing about this is you gotta boil it every month at the end of your cycle to sterilize it but i usually just do this the next morning when i'm cooking breakfast.

Why did I wait so long to try this?

I have a huge regret that I didn't try this sooner! I was so worried it would be hard to use and not effective but I was SO wrong! I love that it is so good for the environment too! Bonus! Spreading the news about the Diva Cup with all my lady friends! <3

Utilisatrice d'une diva cup depuis plusieurs années et cela a été un excellent achat. La diva cup rend mes menstruations beaucoup moins pénible. Je n'ai presque jamais de fuite avec et je peux la laisser en place plus longtemps.
Au début, cela prend un peu d'adaptation pour apprendre à l'insérer et l'enlever, mais cela n'a pas duré longtemps.
Je ne retournerais plus aux tampons!
