I just discovered....the diva cup?!?

lala5507 · September 2012

Does anyone use a diva cup instead of tampons? I'm kind of intrigued by it. Just wondering if it's something I should be trying. I feel so out of the loop. I had no idea something like that existed.

interesting... i have never heard of it. you are supposed to wash it 2 or 3 times a day? what do you do in a public bathroom (aka at work)? makes me squirmy reading about it.

I haven't tried it, but it's very popular with ladies on other boards. They said that if you HAVE to empty it in a public restroom (but most claim not to have to do it), that you just wipe it with toilet paper. Then you can clean it better at home. And that's all I know about it.

I have been intrigued by it before, but never bought one just because I had an IUD for some time and was worried about it creating suction and possibly pulling it out. But now that it has been removed I should probably look into it again. I think most people empty it in the morning, and in the evening at home. And you just have to rinse it out when you empty it. Then a lot of girls just clean it once really well after their period is over. If your cycle is heavier, some people say they have to empty it more often. I think once you get used to using it, it would be a big convenience.

Menstrual cups have been around for a while, but I still don't think it's something I'm quite ready to try yet. I just feel like it would be unsanitary to wipe it off and put it back in, and I also feel like it would be kind of messy. Although, I think once I could get comfortable with the idea, it would be convenient.

I agree, the name is lame. I had a month long period last month. The money I spent on tampons was insane. This would have saved me so much money.

I don't know why but it creeps me out. I was a cloth diaper mom and that never bothered me but there is just something about blood and such that makes me feel queezy.
