My Tentative Review of the DivaCup

About two months (cycles) ago my boyfriend alerted me to a special deal at iHerb.com. I can’t remember the exact price I paid, but I knew it was much less expensive than getting one at a B&M store. I quickly placed an order.

My DivaCup came within a couple weeks, just as my period was coming to an end. I was able to try it out once, but didn’t have enough time to really become aquianted with it.

The first thing I noticed about it when taking it out of the package was the size. I ordered the Model 1 – for women under 30 who have not carried a child. This is the smaller model, yet I was still surprised at its – well – girth. I doubted that it could possibly be comfortable, but I wanted to give it a try right away.

Immediately I knew I would have trouble when I first tried to insert it. It was at the end of my cycle and I had been using tampons which had sucked all moisture and natural lubrication from my body. Needless to say my first attempt did not go well. I decided to wait until my next period to really give it a go.

Days went by and I found myself actually excited for my period for the opportunity it would provide! In preparation for a convenient time to experiement, I sacrified the benefit of tampons for the benefit of a moist vag.

Much – MUCH easier this time! I’m pleased to say that for me, the DivaCup worked exactly as it promised. No leaks, even up to 8 hours. Totatlly as comfortable, if not more so, than tampons and pads. PLUS it’s reusable so in the end it’s waaaay cheaper than disposables.

However, this was only once, for a relatively relaxed week. I have yet to try it while doing anything like working out at the gym or swimming. We’ll see, but overall I am very pleased.

I certainly recommend this to every woman who is SICK of paying through the nose (or vagina?) for dispossable pads and tampons.

Oh, and the new Always Infinity are shit.
