Where do I even begin. This product is simply amazing. I had been looking for alternatives to the usual tampons (which have pesticides in them!) and pads and almost went the organic cotton route when I found The Diva Cup.

Without getting too graphic, personal, or gross, this product is simply amazing. Flabbergastingly amazing. If you've used tampons without applicators, this really isn't any different in how 'close' you get with 'yourself'. I have to say this: you can pee with it in! Seriously, it is fantastic!

Easy to clean (I bought the Dive Wash, which is ph balanced and has no odor and lasts a really long time!) and comes with a carrying/storage pouch. Take your time, read the instructions and try it. It is 110% worth it. According to the instructions, you NEVER have to replace it. So calculate on average, how much you spend a month on what you currently use, multiply that by 12 months. Subtract the cost of the Diva Cup and that is how much you could be saving a year. New shoes anyone? Save up for a trip you've been wanting to take?

I can honestly say that I will NEVER go back to the environmentally and economically unfriendly tampons and pads. I recommend this product to every woman I know!

I don't even know where to start with how AMAZING the Diva Cup is. Seriously. But I'll try:

-It's healthy! No risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
-It's handy! You never have to carry around tampons or worry about running out.
-It's environmentally friendly!!

Once you try it, you'll never go back. (But if you hate it for some reason, Diva Cup offers a 12 month money back return policy!!!!!!! Just a tip: give it more than one or two periods as it can take awhile to "figure out," but once you do you'll love it, I promise.)

I have used The DivaCup for the last two periods and absolutely love it!! It's easy to clean and store (it even comes with a cute little cloth pouch to use when not in use - be sure not to store it in plastic). It's environmentally friendly, lasts for a really long time, and your toilet will never plug up from tampons. You may be grossed out at first by the idea of it, but it's totally worth it. Also, it will feel a little uncomfortable the first few times (and maybe even the first time with each period) that you use it, but after a while you won't really feel it anymore. One thing, it says to use size 2 if you've had a baby (vaginally or by cesarian) or are over 30. But, if you are over 30, haven't had a baby and are a virgin, you'll probably need size 1. This is a great investment and well worth it! No more carrying a bunch of tampons around on a trip, in your car, in your purse... GO BUY A DIVACUP!!!!

Why do I love my Diva cup? Let me count the ways. I love that I don't have to change it as often as super absorbent tampons. It's cleaner, better for the environment, saves me money, its more convenient for my lifestyle, I can rely on it more so then tampons. Sure it certainly does take some getting used to. For the first few months, it was easiest to insert in the shower with the help of some water for moisture. Practicing different folds also helped. I can put it in before work, and take it out at the end of the day. It's that reliable for me. Love it. Need it.

The Diva Cup is a great alternative if you're looking to waste less, spend less, and get away from the potentially harmful bleaches used in most other femanine products. The cup offers about as much protection as a super absorbancy tampon and is made of sturdy, sanitary silicone. It can be used at all times during your period, regardless of flow. Unlike tampons, the risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome is greatly reduced, as your flow is stored in the cup, not trapped in your body. It is very easy to clean and it can be used for years. I should warn that this is not for the faint of heart. my first month with the diva cup was rather gory and frustrating. By the end of day two I had figured it out, and now I love it! I have experienced very few leaks and I haven't spent a dime on protection since. * If you do try out the cup, make sure you check the size to get the cup that's right for you.
