I really love my new cup. I've only used it for 2 cycles, but I don't think I'll go back to using tampons. I was having some issues that I thought tampons might be making worse, but I can't use pads. I was browsing my local health food store and found the cup, and decided to give it a try.

I thought it would be just as good as tampons, but I actually think it is better. Tampons always seem to leak for me, but the cup never does. Also, I don't have to worry about whether or not I've got enough supplies with me because I have all that I need already in me and only have to empty it once every 12 hours, meaning I usually don't have to do so in a public restroom.

The only thing I would change about it is the stem. I never used it anyway, and it was bothering me, so I cut it off with a razor blade.

I would definitely recommend the cup to anybody. (Posted on 2/9/12)

The Diva Cup is amazing! It is really easy to use, reliable, comfortable, and worry free - what more could you want! Oh is it good for the environment, money saving, and healthy for you? It sure is! The Diva Cup gets two thumbs up here! (Posted on 1/23/12)

So I have just finished my first cycle using the Diva Cup. I have to say that it is by far the best product I have ever used, a wise investment! I experience no difficulty inserting it or getting it to pop open, no discomfort at all and absolutely no leakage, I didn’t even need a back up! I recommend it to all women!!! (Posted on 1/20/12)

So, I read the reviews, and despite never being comfortable with tampons, decided to give the DivaCup an honest try.... I'm only sorry I waited so long!! This is wonderful, so much easier to use than a tampon with none of the dry, scratchy side effects. And it's much more pleasant than bulky pads which would irritate my skin down there after 2 or 3 days. I was anticipating having a difficult time getting it into position correctly, but I was able to get it on the first try - I can't even feel that it's there! And the best part, not a single leak, not one drop. Awesome amazing product - I'm ordering one to send to my sister right now!!! Thanks DivaCup, such a liberating and environmentally conscientious product, I'll be converting every woman I know :) (Posted on 1/3/12)

Since I'm a teenager, I go to school 5 days a week, for 7 hours. Periods are annoying. At our school, if you go to the bathroom with a purse, your backpack, a bag, anything, every boy will assume you're on your period-whether you are or are not. I tried tampons- no matter what, I just could NOT get them in. Then, when I finally did, taking them out (every single time) was extremely painful, and they would dry me out. So tampons were okay...kind of, until I realized that tampons don't actually work for 8 hours (most anyway). Most last 4-6. So I would have to change at one point or another. I don't care if any girl or boy knows I'm on my period-but the kids at my school taunt you for a natural process every woman goes through. So then I heard about the DivaCup. What's this? It SAVES me and my mom money? I get to keep it in for 12 HOURS? This is ingenious! I had heard about the learning curve of getting it in, taking 1-2 cycles, so I thought it would be really difficult since it was hard just to get a tampon in. But I was wrong, it took me about a day or two to really get the hang of it. It was so simple and easy, I was thrilled. I could wear it to bed-no leaks. Wear it a whole school day-no leaks. On the go, for 12 hours even!-no leaks! Thank you to the makers of the DivaCup, so I can enjoy my period! And with LunaBalm to help cramps, nothing can stop me! Thank you Mother Nature, and Aunt Flo! I actually like you now. (Posted on 1/1/12)

I haven't even received my DivaCup yet, and already I am greatly impressed with this company. The customer service and support is fabulous!
I inquired about sizing at roughly 12am last night, and awoke at 7:30 to a personalized email actually answering the questions I asked!
Amazing!!! (Posted on 12/29/11)

So I heard about menstrual cups while looking for a website that sells eco-reusable pads, forgot about them, then today after bulk buying pads and the much despised tampons for work, came across this site and reviews. I couldn't help buying one, I know periods are a pain, and with that period products, but I have to say I have never been so excited to get either:) (Posted on 12/29/11)

I heard about the DivaCup a couple years ago from a relative, and like many, set the idea aside, saying, "I hate using tampons, so this is definitely not for me."

Having become more and more environmentally aware, I started feeling more and more guilty as I saw how much waste I was producing on a monthly basis. How could I, in good conscience, continue in this manner when I knew of an alternative? After discussing it with a few friends, who swore they wouldn't try it unless I did, I purchased my DivaCup on the spot.

What a life-changing experience.

It has been six months, and I have not experienced a single leak since switching to the cup. A friend and I had been planning a serious hike, and that event fell on one of my heavy days. With the DivaCup, this wasn't a problem. With a pad or tampon, I would have needed to carry the soiled items with me, and I would most definitely have experienced a leak with a pad. With the cup, I didn't need to bother with it until I got home that evening.

A month later, another friend and I took a road trip across the country, and my period started the very morning we set off! As a teen, I went on many road trips with my family, and a couple of them were joined by my period. Using pads, I remember how incredibly uncomfortable those days could be. Using the DivaCup, my period did not cross my mind while we were on the road. I took care of it during my morning routine, cleaned it in the shower at night, and that was all the attention it needed from me.

As an added bonus, there is no risk in using the cup on questionable days. With pads, you still need to start afresh after time has rumpled the product, even if your period hasn't started. With tampons, I felt as though my insides were being torn if I used one on a questionable day. With the cup, it's as easy to use on a q-day as any other.

BOTTOM LINE: I wish I had listened to my relative sooner, and I hope I can convince more women to make the switch. (Posted on 12/29/11)

I wish I had known about DivaCup long time ago. It took about two periods to get used to but now I would never ever go back to using regular pads or tampons! I cannot live without the DivaCup! It makes me forget that I have a period, it stays so clean, just amazing! I suffer from heavy periods but the DivaCup can be used for 12 hours and it is truly amazing. (Posted on 12/10/11)

I've had the DivaCup for almost eight years now. Yes, the same one. It still works perfectly, cleans up great, and is barely discolored from years of use. I got it as a sophomore in high school and never looked back. It took a little bit of practice to make sure that it sealed correctly when I first started using it, but once I got the hang of it (which didn't take more than one period) it's the best decision I've ever made for down there. I can't express enough how much of a fantastic option it is! (Posted on 11/30/11)
