Anyone ever use it? I ordered it last night because I HATE changing tampons every few hours. I'm hoping if I take it out in the shower it wont be as traumatic as I'm afraid of it being.

Re: Diva Cup

I'm pretty sure we had an epic discussion or two about this before.
My stance is unchanged.
(this is coming from the girl who doesn't use tampons)
This is the part I can't get behind. No thank you to fingering myself!
this is going to be TMI.
my biggest problem with the diva cup is that I get blood under my finger nails and I feel like I can never get my hands clean enough.

Ga-Ross!
Why do you use it? Like what are the advantages?
Its cheap! Tampons are so freekin expensive and I bleed a lot so I'm always changing them.
its better for the enviornment.
I won't be stuck anywhere and w/o a tampon unless I start my period at a random time, but I generally wake up in the morning on day 28 and she makes an appearance while i'm going to the bathroom.
and a 'use' lasts so much longer than a tampon. I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck in a meeting for hours needing to change my tampon. you basically eliminate that issue with the diva cup

Not sure what "twist" you mean. When do you twist?
It is really easy to get in but out is the prob. Totally agree with the fingernail thing. It really needs a pull string.
I don't have tampon or flow probs but found the cups were more comfy and you can have sex with them in. Plus I tend to forget to change tampons when working or out doing stuff.
After you put it in the directions say to twist 360 degrees. I am using a "Stage 2" though so maybe you only need to do it for those?
