I thought I would give it a shot, but after three babies, it just didn't fit me, kept falling out. This I'm sure has nothing to do with the product, it's just a fact of life, so I'm still giving it 4 stars - I'm sure it works wonderfully for some people!

Giving a four because this cup still leaks a bit for me and is harder to get in. I understand that not all cups are made for each body.

It does leak so on heavy days it requires frequent emptying, but overall it's comfortable and not difficult to insert or remove.

Wish I would have known about this product sooner. It has some undesirable features as all menstrual products do, but overall good product.

I love that this is strong and stiff, but I wish it came in other colors instead of just clear. And apparently I have a crazy deep cervix, so it can get lost in there, making me wish it was longer.

After watching videos and googling how to use this, I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Can't say I love it like other customers but I'm doing something good for the planet and it's easier to carry when traveling compared to a box of stuff.

I was a sceptic at first that this product could completely replace my current feminine products without needing some kind of panty protection, but it in fact did! I was shocked that there was absolutely no leaking, even on my heaviest days! I ditched my panty liners after the first 48hrs as they were untouched completely! It was fairly easy to get the hang of inserting the diva cup as well as surprisingly easy to remove! I suggest practicing the process prior to game time though, as it will make it not so overwhelming when your time of the month actually starts!!! It was remarkably more hypogenic (in my opinion) and less messy to remove then a tampon, as it is all contained in the cup portion and not a drippy, soaking wad of cotton with a string! I am a pretty active gal, and even went swimming during my period whilest using the diva cup, and I felt more confidant then usual with no problems at all! When I was at public restrooms, I would just resist the urge to remove it because their is really no need to unless it has been in for the maximum amount of time, or you feel it might be full! With a tampon, it must be removed due to it being unsanitary as the string of a tampon is exposed to waste, as well as it not being able to hold very much; but with the cup it holds up to 2 oz. and doesn't bread bacteria due to its placement and the fact that it doesn't have a cotton string hanging down getting into everything! Therefore, I would wait until I was in the comforts of my home, in my bathroom, where I could remove and clean it properly without the grossness of public restrooms! If the occasion does occur to remove it away from my home, I am tankful for the tips of bringing a water bottle to rinse it out right there in the stall and wipe it down, until I get home! This product did all it promised to do, and is deffinantly a better alternative to tampons or pads! I love that it is more conducive and benifitual to my body and its natural process it goes through once a month! I am happy to play an active role in my health and know that the benefits will show both in my well being and wallet! My only gripe is that the plastic stem is uncomfortable when you sit and stand. I could feel it rubbing against the sensitive back corner of my lady part! I even cut it down a bit and still felt discomfort that left me a bit sore and raw at the end of my week! I think I will cut it off completely before next month, even though it says to leave some of it! Personally I just can't comfortably have a plastic stem irritating me throughout the entirety of my visits from Aunt Flow!;) Plus, I don't feel like my vagina is a deep, gaping, mysterious hole and for me it isn't like the bottom of the diva cup is hard to find, or that I need to go exploring to find it! It's funny to read the exaggerated descriptions of some woman losing it and having to dig for it up there; no one has a vag that is a mile deep and wide like they are making it sound! We have been women all our lives and have been bleeding once a month for most of them, so quit with the theatrics ladies!!! Haha! Anyhooter, just happy to have this product in my life now, and will never go back to the prehistoric times of tampons and maxi pads again! I know mother earth is proud of me!!:)

I love my Diva Cup! It is a little tricky to get it inside. I figured out my cervix hangs to the left. Once in it is comfortable and secure. I went hiking, dancing and swimming (in a white bathing suit) with it and it didn't let anything in or out. Removal is easy and clean. I will never go back to any other method.

Honestly this is awesome. I really don’t like putting it in though because its uncomfortable when it opens up all the way inside. It’s just really nice not having to buy tampons. Great alternative! Love that it’s reusable. Make sure you relax when you insert it and take it out!!!!

So far, this cup has been pretty awesome. I love the fact that I can know exactly how much I bleed every month and I feel one million times better that I'm not at risk for TSS. The only thing that I'm still getting used to is putting the cup in and taking it out. Right now, it hurts like hell, and I hope that will go away.
