DivaCup? *Ladies only[trust me fellas, ya dnt wanna read it!

I have not personally tried it myself yet, but I'm definitely considering trying it out in the future. I have a lot of acquaintences on other sites that are very natural-minded and have come to love it. I hear there is a bit of a 'learning curve' involved in placing it correctly, but that it actually works really well and is easier to use than you'd assume just thinking about it. I'm sure some people that try it end up not liking it that much, but from all the reviews I've read from people that have tried it, it seems most have been pleased with the result.

There are some really good YouTube videos you can find that show you how to get it placed correctly. Not like pornographic ones LOL, but like using a champagne flute to similate placement in a way that you can actually see.

I absolutely love mine.
I refuse to ever go back to tampons or pads ever again.
It took about a week for me to get used to it. I had to keep cutting off the tip of it before I found a comfortable length. It's really easy to put in as well! The only tricky thing is to make sure it has fully opened when inside or else you will leak. But that's an easy fix by gently pulling it out, but not all the way and it should pop open and you can just push it back in!
Mind you.. I've only been wearing it since June.. and I refuse to go back

I've tried a disposable cup that is similar. It was alright, but alot of stores didn't carry it, so I eventually stopped using it. Using something reusable in this type of situation isn't really my thing, though.

Putting it in doesn't worry me as much as taking it out. I read a review that a lady couldn't get it out because it basically suctions to you? Owww?

She must have put it in too high and she has extremely short fingers! I think taking it out is much more easy then putting it in, I just grab around the base, pinch and it releases the suction and you can easily pull it out!

WHAT IS IT?

It's a small, firm yet slightly flexible cup that is inserted into the vagina to 'catch' menstrual flow, as an alternative to the use of disposable pads or tampons.

I've got The Keeper (same thing) in silicone. It's pretty awesome, but if I don't get it in right it leaks. I always wear a panti-liner JIC. It can be messy pulling it out and cleaning it so sometimes I end up using tampons anyway. I should use it more. I've been using it off and on for 10 years! (I'm on my 2nd one as I needed to switch to the larger size.)

It's worked great for me! I love not having such a mess or smell. Just read the directions. They're easy to understand. Definately trim the little nub though.

If you just push it in a little on one side it releases the suction, it doesn't hurt.

I've been using mine for about a year now, I like it a lot. I'm not 100% converted, I probably use it 50/50 with tampons. I typically use it on my heavier flow days and at night. Maybe I don't always get the placement right (or maybe it was the three kids I delivered, lol), but it tends to slip down on me, so unless I know I'll be near a restroom in case I need to push it back up, I don't like to wear it out of the house.

LOVE my diva cup!!! Haven't used pads or tampons in a year. I also noticed that my cramps aren't as bad.

im at work so i cant research it here, but wouldn't that be likely to cause infection? like if you leave a tampon in too long you can get really sick,...how is this sanitary? (i'm legitimately wondering, not being an *kitten* lol)

We're probably not that prone to infection in that area, I'm guessing. The cup I've used has been on the market for at least 15 years, I'd guess, and their research (I know, they're probably biased) shows no risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome like with a tampon. However, I still feel weird about a reusable cup, so I would still prefer a disposable cup. I'm not using them at all, lately, because they're hard to find in stores around here, but I did like them way better than a tampon due to dryness issues.

ive had a mooncup for about the last 10 years. Well, its my 2nd one, but ive never had a problem with it.Economical, Easy to use, more hygenic, more eco friendly, more reliable, and longer lasting than tampons or towels. Just as comfortable as a tampon, but no string to pee over, so cleaner too. Ive never found putting it in or taking it out a problem. Ive never heard of anyone thats tried one to have had a real problem with them.

So this isn`t about bra sizes with pics demonstrating the different ones is it?

That's what i assumed it would be! You arent alone Carl!

Nope, this is about a different way to handle menstrual cycles. Probably not something that guys are too interested in. LOL

The thing is life changing. I'm not kidding or exaggerating. Especially if you have heavy periods. I practically hemmorrage and it makes it so I can go about my day without all of a sudden running to the bathroom 45 minutes after the last time. It's like you're not having a period at all. Just empty and clean every hour and a half and you're. G2G. Plus it makes running way more comfortable. Love it.
