5.0 out of 5 stars So useful, so comfortable-- it changed my life., July 2, 2006
This review is from: Diva Cup Model 1 Pre-Childbirth (Health and Beauty)
I've been using a Keeper, the rubber original version of this device, for nearly three years. It's changed my life for the better in terms of convenience and comfort. The only reason I bought a Diva Cup is because I lost the Keeper while travelling. Otherwise, I believe it would have lasted for a lifetime as advertised. D'oh.

And losing the Diva Cup or Keeper is really the only problem you'll face after you initially learn to use the product (It's easy, and there is a helpful brochure with diagrams included with the Diva Cup.) Now that I've used the Diva Cup, I can say that I prefer it somewhat to the Keeper for two reasons: 1) the silicone Diva Cup doesn't make squeaking noises when I'm trying to insert it, which is an embarassing tendency of the rubber Keeper, and 2) whatever concern was in my mind about developing a latex/rubber sensitivity is gone because I know silicone to be inert and completely harmless in that regard. It would not surprise me if the Diva Cup actually lasted longer than the Keeper (which was beginning to look a little shopworn after three years, though it worked just fine) given the longevity of the other silicone utensils I've owned.

You'll get your money's worth with either product-- you can swim, dance, do cartwheels, and enjoy non-penetrative sex while you're on your period, and you'll eliminate the expense and hassle of disposable products from your life. I wonder why I went through years of annoyance and irritation before I switched-- I just didn't know any better. I'd reccommend the Diva Cup over the Keeper for anyone who is worried about developing or aggravating a latex/rubber sensitivity, and for anyone who's getting tired of causing "squeak SQUEAK squeak squeak" to ring out in a public washroom. Just don't lose it-- I've never been to a physical store where they sold these, so I'd suggest buying two and keeping one in the bathroom cabinet or something.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love My Diva Cup, July 30, 2006
This review is from: Diva Cup Model 1 Pre-Childbirth (Health and Beauty)
I am extremely happy with my purchase of this product. The Diva Cup website and the menstrual_cups community on livejournal are excellent sources of information on the benefits of the cup and how to use it, but I will include here what I found most helpful.

The cup is worn inside the vagina, somewhat like a tampon but much lower. It is very flexible and is folded for insertion (so don't worry about how big it looks at first - I am small-built and I use it easily). Once inside, it may take a little manipulation to unfold, but I got the hang of it very quickly. The cup should unfold all the way, so that the rim creates a gentle suction with the vaginal walls. This ensures that the cup catches and holds menstrual blood. It can be worn up to 12 hours at a time, at which point it should be emptied, washed, and reinserted. It is easy to use with practice, though some women take longer learning to use it than others. Using water or water-based lubricant is helpful for some beginners. It is extremely comfortable; when it is inserted correctly, you should not even feel it.

Using the Diva Cup takes away a lot of my worries during menstruation. It doesn't leak like a pad or tampon sometimes does. It holds an entire ounce, which is 1/3 to 1/4 of the average woman's flow for the entire period, so it does not have to be emptied as often. Most only need to empty it once in the morning and once at night. I don't have to worry about running out of pads or tampons, or remembering them when I go out somewhere or on vacation.

The Cup is made of silicone (the kind used for replacement heart valves and joints, not breast implants!) so it is non-absorbent and does not dry out the body's natural fluids. Therefore it has not been and is not likely to be associated with TSS. Unlike a tampon, it is safe to insert when you are not on your period or when your flow is very light. This fact helped me in two ways: 1) I was able to practice using the cup before my period and 2) I was able to leave the cup in when I expected my period so I didn't have to worry about it happening at an inopportune time. Without the cup, I don't know how I would have dealt with my period starting in the middle of a windsurfing lesson!! Luckily I had the cup in and all was well. It also saw me through a long car trip with few restroom stops with no worries about how long a disposable product could last without leaking.

I also found the cup more discreet than other products - on vacation with a friend's family (including little brothers)I was grateful that I had no need to run between the bedroom and the bathroom with products, no wrappers crinkling, no used products sitting in the trash can.

Many are put off by a reusable menstrual product, but the silicone cup is easy to clean - most simply rinse with warm water and soap for daily use, and the cup can be boiled for five to ten minutes to sterilize before and after your period, if you feel the need. Just make sure you rinse the cup well when you use soap. I am looking forward to never buying disposable products again, never having them in my trash can, never sending them to pile up in the Earth's landfills.

Some also associate the idea of an "alternative" product with a sacrifice of convenience, comfort, price, etc. I have found the cup both more convenient and comfortable than pads or tampons, and it pays for itself with the money you save by no longer buying disposable products. I believe the cup is only considered "alternative" because it is not well-known. I have no idea why more women don't know about this product. My guess is because since the cup is reusable, it does not make the huge types of profits that disposables do. So no large companies have manufactured and advertised it. Menstrual cups have been left up to small, woman-friendly and earth-friendly companies such as the makers of the Diva Cup (in Canada) and the Moon Cup (in the UK).

The single, small drawback I had with the Diva was a tiny bit of spotting - probably from blood that was already lower than the rim of the cup when I inserted it. This is easily taken care of with just a pantiliner or a bit of folded toilet paper. I didn't even use those; I just washed the stains off with hydrogen peroxide, which works really well on blood.

Sorry about the length, but I did my research before buying my own, and I think women should know as much as possible about their options - especially this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars You need to get this, May 24, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Diva Cup Model 1 Pre-Childbirth (Health and Beauty)
I've been hearing my friends and women on various online groups, message boards, and chat groups rave about these things for the longest time, but was hesitant about ordering one for myself because of the price. After one very long and messy period where I was forced to spend $5 on a tampon at a club, I finally broke down and ordered a Diva Cup. I wish I had done it sooner.

No longer will I have to haul around pads, tampons, and pantyliners. The initial cost of a menstrual cup is far less than what I was spending per year on other products, and the Cup lasts a lifetime. Not to mention that the Cup is much better for the environment and much easier to port around. The Cup comes in a cute little floral cloth pouch that looks similar to a tiny change purse.

Insertion and removal was a bit tricky at first. I searched for the menstrual_cups community on livejournal and found better instructions than the ones that came with the Cup. It took me about 4 or 5 tries to get it to where it was painless and working correctly and it takes some people longer, but it was so worth it.

I can't feel it at all. You can do basically everything but have sex with it in (Get "Insteads" if you want to do that). Running, jumping, cartwheels - nothing has dislodged this baby. How long you leave it in depends on how heavy your flow is. The Cup holds a lot more than a tampon, so you only have to change it 2 to 3 times a day. You can wear it overnight and for very long periods of time without fear of TSS.

I just got mine a week ago and already I am buying a second so I can have one for my purse and one for my bathroom.

The Diva Cup comes with a one year money-back guarantee so you will not regret buying this!!

Edit: Update 2011. Still love it. If you go camping, it makes menstruating out in the middle of the woods very easy.
