Well I had never heard of these before! I am 49 and was not aware that anything like this was available — getting a bit late now for me but I might give it a try. Sounds better than tampons and pads which are a complete nuisance really.

I wouldn't want to go back to tampons again. This is much less drying of the vaginal canal, as instead of absorbing it's collecting, and there's no risk of toxic shock syndrome for the same reason. It's better for the environment, and cheaper in the long run. It's not messy at all on my light and medium days. It can get a little messy on heavy days, but it's just some blood on your fingers and that washes off. I've never had a mess get on my clothes or anything. Really, it's no messier than using o.b. tampons. Also, when it's inserted, I don't notice it at all anymore. The only annoying thing is that the silicone has discolored a little, but I can live with that. I know a couple people who use menstrual cups and everyone I know who’s tried them loves them.

I'm intrigued by the concept and curious to try.... gotta get over the feeling that this will be a bit messy. I just got my period at 10 months... It was awesome to have a 19 month break from that! LOL Will have to investigate. I don't know anyone else who has used this -- but, I wouldn't expect that to come up in conversation.

I, personally, have always used Diva, I love it. I also love that the company is owned by a mom and daughter- and they are Canadian, not American! But... viva la choices, right?! And no more wasteful, expensive tampons and pads; that's the most important part! I think every woman should use menstrual cups– any brand! I, personally, have always used Diva, I love it.

I have been using mine for over 5 years. I love it and wouldn't use anything else now.

I'm glad you found one manufactured over here. Once things return, I would love to try it. After the pregnancy and postpartum time, I feel like I have contributed a huge pile of sanitary pads to the world! Awesome. I’m glad you found one manufactured over here.
