I have a diva cup and absolutely love it. Much better and cleaner than pads and tampons. I will admit that I thought they were a bit "ick" at first, but then I realized that it's just my blood and there is nothing wrong with it. Now that I look back, a bloody cotton wad is pretty gross, as is a bloody plastic diaper....and I used those thing for years, so the cup can't possibly be that gross.
I'm over it now and the cup doesn't weird me out. I don't have leaks or accidents anymore (leaking only occurs if it is not in properly or the wrong size). It's probably one of the best investments I have ever made.
I know women as well who like them. I wasn't too fond of it. Perhaps I was using it incorrectly, but I found it awkward and a bit messy.
yeahh, i know
i wanna try it
I have one, and I love it! I'm currently pregnant with my second, so I'm not using it now, but I plan on using it again as soon as my post partum period is done.
It took a few cycles to get the hang of it, and I had to trim the tip on mine to make it more comfortable, but it's FAR superior to pads or tampons, and far more environmentally friendly. It saves tons of money, too.
I got mine at Whole Foods, but you can buy them online, too. I have the Diva Cup, by the way, but there are other menstrual cups, too.
Here's their website: http://www.divacup.com
I didn't like it. I found it messy and awkward and a little gross. I only used it a few times and it was during sex once. I had my period and it was light flow and things happened.
