I have been using this for about 6 months now. I am a student, in a cramped apartment, so every bit of savings and space counts. But I find I am alternating between the cup and tampons throughout a cycle, but I am using the cup more. As everyone has said, there is a steep learning curve, and it won't work for every person. I would recommend that you have patience and be willing to switch back between the cup and your previous method, as you and your body gets used to using it.

It's a little bit hard to put at the beginning, but it's really more comfortable and it last very long. It's "green" and it's really economical after a few months. I am a student so I don't have much money so I'm really happy I've bought this before I move in with my boyfriend in our apartment because it cost me nothing in personal feminine hygiene!

This is the best invention ever. Not only is it money saving but it is easy to use and is comfortable. You almost do not feel it. The first time you use it is is weird but that is only for about 5 minutes after you do not feel it in you can almost forget it is there. So stop buying those retarded tampons every month save your self the trouble and pay 40$ a year. I highly recommend this to all you ladies.

I first thought people were nuts paying $39.99 (in my area) for this product. I heard fantastic things about it so bit the bullet and bought one. BEST decision ever. I love my diva and have told others about it .

The Diva Cup has radically transformed my monthly cycle! It has allowed me the freedom to be active and to travel during my cycle without being worried about leaks or running out of disposable product.

There is a bit of a learning curve with The Diva Cup, but after a couple days of patience and determination, I figured out the best technique that worked for me and my body. I have found it has put me more in touch with the changes my body goes through during its cycle, and the changes in flow from day to day. It is a stress free product that provides flexible, reliable protection. It can be worn for 12 hours and over night with no worries. I sometimes have to remind myself that I'm wearing it, it is THAT comfortable. I will never go back to disposable!

I am still learning how to use this as this is my first time using any product like this, but I cant believe how nice it is, its a little hard to get in the first couple of times but once you get the hang of it its easier and easier. it makes life a lot easier when your on your menstrual cycle. You can swim with it in run hike etc. everything you would normally do and no worries about leaking. you can keep it in for up to 12 hours per day. I love my diva cup and highly recommend it.

I first learned about Diva Cups when I started working at my job 4 years ago. I thought they were the most disgusting things, and the whole concept grossed me out.

However, I went through a period of an extraordinarily long period (about a month and a half) and my body was very sensitive afterwards. Pads were leaving me with nothing but rashes (I tried various styles/brands) and tampons were uncomfortable because they dried me out (again, various brands/styles were tried). So I decided to try the Diva Cup.

First off, they’re not easy to use. The concept is easy, but it takes time and patience to be able to properly use it. You have to be comfortable with the fact that you are going to have to keep your fingers in place while you insert it, because you need to keep it rolled until it’s inside of you. At that point you need to let it expand and turn it so that it’s fully expanded. You may even need to run your fingers along side of it to ensure that it has fully opened, because you want to make sure you don’t leak out.

The suggested use for Diva Cup is no more than 12 hours, but it has no link to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) so if it runs a bit later don’t freak out too much. Just don’t make it a habit. Just remember, the longer it is in, the more chances of overflow (especially if you’re bleeding heavy) and the farther it can migrate upwards.

Remember that the vagina is muscle, and as muscle will pull the diva cup farther up inside of you. This doesn’t really harm anything, it just makes it harder to get sometimes.

To remove, you need to pinch the end of it and pull it out of you slowly. You will want to ensure before you pull it out completely that you have a good grip on it, because you don’t want to spill blood every where. After you’ve emptied it, you would want to make sure you rinse it out or clean it (if possible). If you are in a place where you aren’t able to clean it at that time, make sure you wipe it out. A clean piece of toilet paper will help you out in a time of need. But you will want to make sure that you rinse it out or wash it at least once a day.

To wash it, you can use a gentle soap that is safe for all over your body. You can also purchase DivaWash which is specifically meant for it. Proper care will ensure your product will last longer.

Keep in mind there are two styles of Diva Cups, and it depends on age and life experience on which one you should be getting. Be sure to check out Diva Cup‘s website for more information on their products and which style would be best for you.

I remember one of my first thoughts about this product when I first read about it was “well wouldn’t feel the blood moving?” and the answer is no. You don’t feel anything. I find for the most part, as long as it’s inserted properly it feels more comfortable than tampons.

Amazing. ONce you go cup, you can never go back. Don't be scared, you will get the hang of it pretty quickly.

One of the best things I've ever bought. I paid around $50 for mine but that was close to 7 years ago now. I have saved so much money not having to buy pads and tampons and the Diva Cup works so well too!!
Will definitely be a lifetime user. This is wonderful.

I wanted something that would allow me to sleep comfortably without having to worry about leaks and the DivaCup was it. I don't know if its just me but I don't find it comfortable to wear during the day so I use tampons instead but at night, the DivaCup is my go to product. I've only experienced the occasional leak if its not inserted properly but other than that. I am able to sleep comfortably with it in. Inserting is a bit tricky and it takes me a couple of tries but I just do it while I'm in the shower that way I can easily insert and remove without having to worry about a mess.
