Summary: Environmentally Friendly Feminine Hygeine
Comment: The obvious pros:
- eco-friendly (no repeated waste; no repeated flushing of water)
- one time low cost
- no risk of clogged toilets or unsightly toilet paper-wrapped feminine products in the waste basket
- no worries of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome)
The less obvious pros:
- can be left in twice as long as a tampon
- no odors (like when using pads)
- able to "examine" the blood if you need to (whereas blood is absorbed and difficult to examine when using tampons)
- you don't forget if you removed the cup (as can sometimes happen with a tampon towards the end of the period)
- no string that can slip out of your bathing suit nor a string that can get stuck "inside"
The cons:
- can take a while to get the hang of (I had several "accidents" the first few times wearing it)
- fingers can get messy during insertion
- the cup stains brown; I have left sitting in vinegar in hopes of lightening the stain with no luck (it just looks like it's dirty even if it's clean)
- the little bag it comes with is a waste. The yarn used to "cinch" the bag closed comes out very easily and is impossible to put back in. Plus the bag is really small and it's hard to get the cup into the little bag at all.
Overall Experience:
I've been using the cup for nearly a year and despite the cons I prefer to use it over tampons. The one-time $20 investment has paid for itself within the first few months as compared to the cost of a box of tampons. The insert says the cup typically lasts for about 10 years! I've only had one heavier than normal period where the cup filled up quicker than previous periods which caused an overflow, so you need to be aware of your flow to know how often to empty the cup. For me, once when I wake up and again before bed is usually enough (except for a heavy flow or sometimes on the first day I might need to empty it one more time during the day). You will need to experiment the first few times to see how quickly the cup fills up.
I typically dump out the blood into the toilet and depending on whether I'm in a bathroom that has the sink within reach from the toilet will determine whether I rinse out the cup and dry it off with toilet paper or if I simply clean it out with toilet paper (without rinsing first).
A tip for insertion is to use two hands. Once the cup is folded into the instructed "U" shape, one hand will insert and the other hand crosses over to push in all the way. Some women recommend cutting off the tip, which in the beginning I found was uncomfortable, but now I insert far enough where I don't feel it.
I also like to empty the cup when I'm in the shower...that way it can just go straight down the drain, you can rinse clean and reinsert!
A tip for removal is to push the muscles of your pelvic floor down so that the cup becomes visible, then pull it out with your fingers.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: I was intrigued at the idea of not having to deal with pads and tampons ever again... I have to say I love this product. I bought it after having my first child and couldn't wait for my period to come to use it. I can't believe I wrote that... Anyways it does take some getting used to, you have to fold it like the instructions say and in the beginning and every now and then it has a little leak, but I just wear a light days kotex pad and I am fine. No more worries about major leaks at nighttime, if you know what I mean, and no more pulling out dry cotton tampons. I hate that feeling. I don't even worry about it at work, I just empty it in the morning and when I come home... except on a heavy flow day I may empty it once at work. It does take some getting used to in public but I find I just empty it and then I may use some tissue to clean it up a bit if needed. And sometimes it makes a little noise when inserting it, I either cough or flush the toilet if I care.
Bottom line: This is a great product, never thought in my life that I would use something like it. And I actually enjoy my period even more. No more packing pads and tampons for long trips... and no more dealing with smells and if the bathroom has a trash can and all those inconveniences. Sorry I guess I am babbling...
Great product and I bought one for my mom and my sister (after asking them first)
And no its not too big... looks like it but I hardly know its there

Summary: WAY better than tampons!
Comment: Not only is this product environmentally sound, its safer for women than tampons (which contain bleach and fiberglass(!) unless you are purchasing organic - seriously - make women bleed more so they need more tampons!), but it decreases waste/consumption. But best of all, my lady parts don't feel unfresh at all. The diva cup keeps me clean and fresh!

Summary: Absolutely Life Changing
Comment: I bought one of these a few months back and I am thrilled to use it every time. I had a lot of menstrual problems. I have a really heavy flow and a job where I'm on my feet (usually running) for up to 14 hours with extremely few opportunities for a bathroom break. Day shifts, nights shifts, and stress make my periods slightly irregular. I used to end up buying tons of tampons and pads, because my "uhoh" moment would often come when I wasn't at home. Often these were the cheap bodega brands of desperation, because nothing else was open. I usually managed to ruin one pair of underwear a month and spent way too much time scrubbing the sheets.
Now if I'm coming up on my period, I can put it in "just in case" I need it. I did this recently on a flight to europe and it worked out perfectly and took up so much less room in my luggage on the way back. It's incredible, no leaks, none of that unpleasant tampon feeling. Apart from the first day pain, it's like the period isn't even happening to me. I know it sounds gross to have to insert it, but it actually is way less messy than tampons (especially with applicators) and pads, and once you get used to it, it's a snap.
I originally switched over because of environmental concerns and a desire to stop "flushing money down the toilet" but it's actually been an incredible improvement to my quality of life.
