    Been using for 3 years

    The DivaCup has really made my periods a lot easier.
    It is reusable, eco-friendly and quite confortable.
    There is a learning curve involved, but considering I never figured out how to comfortably wear tampons, I was impressed with how quickly I figured out my DivaCup.
    On heavy days, I wear the DivaCup with a backup pad. The capacity is average for me; I do have to empty it a few times on my heaviest day, but with a backup, leaks are not a problem.
    The DivaCup is one of the longer cups, so I had to cut of the stem and file it down, and it usually works.
    I exercise and swim with my DivaCup without problems.
    I am not sure if I would repurchase when I need a new cup, as another cup may fit me better (as I said, this one was a bit long) but for now, I will continue using my DivaCup.

    Good for vacationing

    This is very hand when away, you don't have to pack pads or tampons and since you can use the cup for 12 hours you are sure to be near a bathroom to wash it before the 12 hours. Nice that it can be reused and not just thrown in the garbage every month.

    Divacup

    I was surprised by the diva cup, it works great, once you get the hang of how to use it and it is great because its environmentally safe and it can be used for longer periods of time then tampons. And as a bonus, in the long run you save money !

    I really wanted to like this!

    Back when I found a lot of tampons and pads were giving me yeast infections, I decided to give the Diva cup a go, since it came recommended. It seemed like a great alternative, and could stay in for longer than a tampon. It was kind of gross cleaning it, but that's not really what put me off. No matter what, it never felt 'right' when I inserted it. I followed the instructions to a T, and I used it for at least 3 or 4 cycles for practice, but I would always find it would 'shift' while inside, which was super uncomfortable. Also, no ,matter what, it would leak a lot on my heaviest days, which meant I had to wear pantyliners anyway. I really wanted to like this product, but alas, I guess my body just isn't made for it.

    Great if you can figure it out....

    I'm sure this product will be great if you can figure out how to insert it properly, so it wouldn't leak. I have inserted it many times, and each time I can feel it, and your not supposed to feel it, and the stem seems to stick out of my underwear. I know it's not that hard to insert, but some people find it very hard like me. I think I will stick to my pads. I may try to insert it again, but I found it uncomfortable.

    I liked the idea of the Diva Cup so I bought one. The price was fair but when it came to actually using it I couldn't get the hang of it and found it painful and awkward to wear. I also didn't like the idea of having to rinse it out. What would happen if it needed to be cleaned when I'm outside of the house. If you can get past that issue and get the hang of inserting it, I'm sure this would be a great product for a lot of women.

    Is this cup a money saver? For sure. There are many reasons to buy the diva cup, but I used it for 3 cycles and switched back to tampons. Its messy and can actually leak pretty easily. Suctioning it to your wall is harder than it sounds. When the cup is full and you're trying to pull it out, spills can happen too. Plus, it kind of hurts.

    Tout le monde m'en parle en bien, donc je l'ai acheté pour l'essayer et ça éte vraiment désagréable. Pour l'insérer aucun problème, mais impossible de faire tourner à l'intérieur et l'embout me fait terriblement mal. Je n'ose pas le couper comme il suggère, puisque j'ai eu toute la misère du monde à le sortir tellement qu'on a aucune pogne. Je n'ose pas non plus l'enfoncé plus loin de peur de ne plus pouvoir le sortir, car j'ai déjà tellement de trouble à le faire. En plus, le peu de temps que je l'ai garder, je le sentais à l'intérieur de moi et il me causait des maux de ventre extrême.
    Je ne sais pas si c'est moi qui est trop faite petite ou quoi...mais bon je n'ai pas aimé du tout. Je ne dis pas que je ne vais jamais réessayer, mais pas pour l'instant.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I just can not get this to work for me. I've tried a ton of different "techniques" for putting it in and nothing seems to work for me so that it doesn't leak.

    Very different from the Instead Cups. I found you could feel the Diva Cup after insertion. Also when removing it there was a lot more suction which eventually can become uncomfortable. As a pro...you can measure your flow
