Product: Diva Cup
Manufacturer: Diva International
Cost: $20.00
If you're tired of stained undies, leaks no matter how absorbent your pad or tampon are, overflowing trash, panic at a public restroom when you're unprepared, relax! This is the only menstrual cup I've ever used, so maybe I'm biased, but I've used plenty of tampons and pads. The diva cup is like a cell phone, how did I ever live without it?
I've been using mine for over half a year now, I've had 2 leaks. TWO. That's how many I had a day with a pad and tampon. Even on my heaviest day I can leave it in for an easy 8 hours, forgetting I'm even on my period. I jog on my elliptical and it doesn't even occur to me that it's that time of the month.
I can't say enough good things about the Diva Cup. I haven't placed one pad in a land fill or one tampon down the toilet for 6 months. I haven't had to buy either for 6 months. I haven't had to carry something in my purse for 6 months.
I did have issues with the stem at first, I eventually cut mine off past the recommended length, but I've had no problems once so ever. I also have a tipped cervix, but that hasn't been a problem either. It was a little tricky to put in at first, simply because it was such a foreign idea. One cup will also last for years!
Bottom line: saves me much more than I paid on tampons, liners and pads, extends the life of my undies, saves landfill space, helps the environment, saves me misery.
There are many websites that sell them, the cheapest being http://www.luckyvitamin.com/diva-international.html
