Super pleasantly surprised by my first experience with this menstrual cup! I've been a tampon user since I first figured out how to use one as a teen, I hated pads and aside from childbirth I haven't used them since my first few periods. I am in my early 30's and have had two children via c-section. I ordered a size 1 and it was perfect. At first I thought it a bit small, but after using it for my whole period (except for the first day) I decided it was perfect. I was satisfied with tampons until we bought our current home, as it's on a septic tank and it can't handle tampons being flushed. After the toilet paper shortage in the spring it became my mission to stop wasting toilet paper on silly things like wrapping tampons up, so as not to horrify my young children when opening the bathroom trashcan. There is a definite learning curve, but after the third time of changing it I managed to not make a mess all over my bathroom. Now there's no more toilet paper going to waste in the trash can and I no longer have a wad of cotton shoved up my vagina. I do not feel the cup when it is inserted correctly and as long as you're comfortable with your body you should have no problems acclimating. It did make me feel like I was in middle school again when I went out the first time with it as I wasn't quite comfortable with it yet and I was very concerned it may leak. Never had any such problems with it thankfully.

I will never wear a pad or tampon again if I can help it! I was looking for alternatives, considering I am becoming a bit more environmentally conscience, and the cup kept coming up. I was hesitant and took a long time to make the switch, and now my only regret is not getting is sooner. It was super easy to insert- watch a ton of videos how to insert and remove- this will make a difference. I loved not having to worry about it leaking or leaving it in there too long. It was super easy to clean and far more sanitary than tampons. No more bloody items in my trash- whohoooo! I slept with it no problem and couldn’t even feel it was there after the first 3 mins of inserting it. At first I would feel it, but after a while it adjusts on its own and it’s like it’s not even there! For the first time, I didn’t have to worry about what underwear or clothes I was wearing, just in case I leaked. I mean, the freedom I have now, is scary!!! Best of all, I didn’t experience any cramps for the first time! MAKE THE SWITCH, you won’t regret it!!!

This one, the next one, an off brand that's cheaper just buy one! I purchased this one just before losing my job from medical reasons. I didnt know when paychecks would be coming in and was struggle just to keep light on and food on the table. With all that going on menstrual products where simply not in the budget. Genuinely I have a strong love hate relationship with this product. On one hand it's amazing, totally leak free, I can swim while using it, and its reusable! On the other hand it's annoying to place and remove, to clean up, and heaven forbid you leave it in to long or the rath of death stench be apon you. But with all that being said this product is a savior for me. I was out of work for 10 months, barely making it by. 10 periods came and went and I didnt have to spend so much as a penny on them! Added up that money was able to give me and my family a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner now that we are getting back on our feet again. I emplore all women to buy at least one of them, pack it away you dont have to use it. Just make sure you have it. Sometimes life isn't easy and the fact that women dont have support for menstrual products at this stage in our society is ridiculous, especially with how expensive they are! Just remember "It's better to have it, and not need it. Then to need it, and not have it."

I previously brought a Divacup Size 2 ten years ago from another shopping website. Unfortunately, I had to dispose of it since the cup got more dirty despite cleaning it before, during, and after each cycle of my period. I try another brand of a menstrual cup but it wasn't the same. When I saw it on sale, I immediately pounce at the chance and brought a brand new Divacup! The new box redesign is a welcome change to the old one! There is a cut on the back of the box but I can't recall it was there before or after I open the package. None of the contents inside were harmed so no biggie. I will tell those who are new to the Divacup, the insertion and removal are a bit of a learning curve but thanks to their informative instruction book, youtube videos, and a bit of practice you can get over that hump and be a pro in no time! And one more tip, if you having trouble inserting your cup, try adding a bit of lubricant and swirl it around the rim of the cup. It reduces the friction and makes the insertion process easier. I do occasionally have to get a thin pad as a backup but this cup is a game-changer for me! I will never go back to strictly pads and tampons again!

I'm 25 & have had heavy horrible cramping with periods my whole life. I bought the size 2 although I didn't fit their description. This thing is a game changer. I no longer have to worry about getting up in the morning to change a tampon right away in the am b/c this thing is quite the cork! It takes a longer time to insert and pull out compare to a tampon (also probably due to my buying the bigger size), but instead of having to do it 6+ times a day I can usually cut it down to 2 or 3; in the am and pm and can def be a shower activity. I leave it in for up to 10 hours with no issues- Not even straining for a BM will push it out. You will def get more in touch with your cycle and maybe a little messy, but it is worth it! I would buy the bigger size again b/c I do tend to "fill up" on the heavy days. Also be prepared to see more clotting with the longer times of it being left in. I've had mind for a year almost- maybe longer. No issues, mild discoloration with usage- but a great product that I love telling anybody who will listen to me about this. No more super + tampons ever again!!!!!!!!!

I’m 46 years old and this month was the first month I’m using mestrual cup. I bought it few weeks before my period as I wanted to get familiar with the product before the actual mestrual period. I’m glad I did. I’m using No 2 cup as I figured my period are quite heavy on certain days. I’ve always wear both tampon and pad every time because I bleed so much and also due to blood heavy clot. Wearing diva cup takes practice and have to be quite comfortable getting your fingers down there. Once the cup is in there, I moved very comfortably and sometimes I even forgot I was wearing it. I do have to say on my days of heavy bleeding I have to empty it out few times a day. There were a couple of times I got panicked because the cup was longed so deep that I couldn’t reached it but after a few deep maneuver I’m able to bring it down. I think it will take a few cycles to get comfortable getting it in and out. The trick is to relax. I hope this helps.

I bought this because the size 1 was difficult to make it pop after it was in and some time it hurts but with size 0 was a lot easier but it's small so I do need to change it more often

So personally I absolutely love this thing. I’m 30 years old and have had one child through c-section. I have been using this for about 6 months. I used depo shots for years and had no period which was awesome but I decided I wanted to get off because of the mood swings that would come with it and concerns with calcium loss from being on it so long. So I had to go back to getting my monthly “gift” again and I was hating it. Cramping, staining my clothing, dealing with having to carry all this stuff around with me, etc. So I decided to purchase this and it has made my life so much easier. It was a little tricky the first couple times I used it and one time I didn’t put it in correctly and it leaked a little, but after that I have had no issues with it. The best part is it helped me so much with cramps! I don’t know why but tampons where making me cramp so bad but this thing helped so much. I work on a boat off shore with a bunch of guys so it was nice that I didn’t have to put anything in the trash can anymore. It’s best when you empty it to be close to a sink so you can rinse it off before you put it back it. But this thing holds so much. I work 10-14 hour days and I can wake up empty it in the morning before heading out and not have to do it again until I get back home that night. Pros: You can leave this in all day with out having to empty it. Unlike tampons you have to change ever few hours or more depending on your flow that day. Less cramping No bathroom trash can over flowing with wrappers You don’t have to wear a pad with this. No sting you have to worry about falling out of a bathing suit. You don’t have to carry tampons and pads with you everywhere. In my opinion much more comfortable. Cons: Takes a little practice and you have to be really “in touch” with your self down there. You have to be close to a sink to rinse it when you decide to do so. In a pinch you can dump it and wipe it with toilet paper. And don’t pull it out super fast or you will have a mess. You have to remember to bring it with you just in case things come a little earlier than expected.

I bought it because after cutting off the irritating stem, the Mooncup was a **NIGHTMARE** to get out. The Diva Cup is longer so even after getting rid of the stem, it was still easy to remove. I guess my.. umm, my insides.. whatever.. is too long for the Mooncup, so it was hard to get a grip on it in order to pull it out, especially since it's a little slippery down there.. other than that, I think there is no notable differene between the Diva Cup and the Mooncup. I'm sorry for not comparing it with the Mooncup in the photos. I threw it out in a feat of rage haha

I’ve heard of a menstrual cup before but never cared to check it out until one day I was just tired of tampons and pads. So I decided to do a little research about them and give it a go. Let me just say.... my life has changed ever since I bought this back in October 2019. I love this thing so much!! I have saved a lot of money from buying stupid expensive tampons/pads. But I will say, it might be a little difficult at first but once you get it down, it’s perfectly fine! Occasionally it might leak, but it’s not often and to only change it roughly every 12 hours is amazing!
