i just started using mine this cycle and let me tell you that I feel like an idiot for not getting one sooner! I can't feel it at all. I could always feel tampons when they were in. I haven't had any leakage and with tampons i leaked a lot during the first 2-3 days of thee period. It's easy to clean. Plus, I'm helping the environment and saving money. Plus, tampons have dangerous chemicals that shouldn't be put into the cooter! mamas, go out and get yourself one!
I really wanted to get some of the washable pads, but I'm interested in checking the diva cup out. I went to buy one once, but we'll just say it made me feel a little poor and I could not get one at the time, but I know in a few months I spend that much on environmentaly harmful products so it would deffinatly be worth it. It's just hard to spluge all at once like that. I wish they cost a little less..
yeah i think they are a little expensive too, tho i supose the amount of money you spend on sanatary products within a year is much more than the £20 they cost here in the uk. i just wish they were more available in the shops rather than only available over the internet as we dont all have cards to pay with!
Here's an idea....Use old rags for a couple of months, and the money you would have spent on disposables, save it. After only 2-3 months, you should have enough.
hahaha this is too funny, i've been seeing this thread popping up in new posts alot lately, & had no clue what a diva cup even was so looked it up & suddenly realized i've had 1 in my medicine cabinet for a couple years at least left over from 1 of my ex's & had no idea what it was (well vaguely i knew it was a menstral product but had no idea how it was used..,lol) so well any of ya talkin bout how much u want 1...i got 1 i'm odviosly not gonna be using anytime soon..lol your welcome to it.. been wondering what the hell that strange thing was for years..i really should stop keeping random useless (at least for me) things lying around for years..lol
yea i'm pretty sure i know whos it was & i wouldnt either..lol well now that i know what the hell it is guess i'll jus get rid of it..lol i knew it was something like that just wasnt sure how it was suposed to work..but..yea guess i'll try to find it & toss it
Eagle, if it has a "stem" on it, it's a Diva cup, if it is smooth like a, well, cup, it's a cervical cap. Could be either.
