I was talking to a friend of mine that is about to get married on Saturday!!! YAY!!! I'm so excited! Anyway, she was saying that her cycle started today. Luckily she has a short light cycle that should be off before her night of fun, but this led to a conversation about my Diva Cup. I didn't realize that I'd never told her about it. I won't do you the same injustice. I love it so much more than pads or tampons!!!
Here are two vids that compare the different name brands. I have only used the Diva Cup, so that's all I can speak on.
Why use something like this? For me it comes down to ease and the environment. Unlike pads and tampons, there is no leakage once you get the technique down. There is a learning curve to this. It doesn't flip your uterus inside out when you remove it. You don't have to change it as often so you don't have to watch the clock to keep your white pants white. As far as the environment is concerned, on menstrual cup will replace hundreds of pads and tampons in landfills. You only have to replace it once a year.
Please if you have any questions about my experience with this lovely little item let me know. Nothing is too personal, so go on and ask me. :)

I was JUST thinking about this! I purchased a big ole box of tampons from Sam's Club and when I got home I realized I just could've bought the Diva Cup! I'm going to buy it next month. My question is: Can you put it in like a tampon and not feel it?
ReplyDeleteSorry, apparently I missed this. If you haven't purchased it already hopefully this will help. When I first purchased it I did have to learn to use it. Now I don't EVER have leaks and I can't feel a thing!!! LOVE IT!!!
