I have been curious about The DivaCup for some time now. I knew there had to be an alternative to tampons and pads for the heavy bleeder that soil their undergarments each month.
Keep reading if you can relate.
The DivaCup is a non-absorbent menstrual cup that simply collects menstrual flow. It is inserted in the vagina and sits at the lower base of the vaginal canal. It is worn internally, yet because it is soft and smooth, it cannot be felt nor will it leak when inserted properly.
The DivaCup is the most clean and convenient method of feminine hygiene protection. No need to touch the flow. It is worn low in the vagina, not near the cervix, so it is easy to remove. No mess!
The DivaCup ends hassles with unreliable disposables in endless absorbencies, shapes and styles. It is perfect for all activities – giving women true freedom without the worry, guessing and unreliability that disposable feminine hygiene products pose.
The DivaCup can be worn for up to 12 hours before emptying, washing and reinserting for use for another 12 hours. It can be used for light or moderate flows and is emptied more often to accommodate heavy flows. Perfect for overnight use.
The DivaCup comes in 2 sizes.
Model 1: For women under 30 years old who have never delivered vaginally or by caesarean section.
Model 2: For women over 30 years old and/or for women who have delivered vaginally or by caesarean section.
PROS:
- Latex-free, BPA-free, plastic-free
- No dyes, colors or additives
- Comfortable, reliable
- Clean, convenient, easy-to-use
- Worn for up to 12 hours at a time
The only con that I can honestly relay to you is that it does take a couple of days to feel comfortable utilizing the product with this new approach. It was not uncomfortable when inserted like I anticipated. I never knew it was there.
I am a very heavy bleeder in my first days of my cycle, so I chose to wear a mini pad along with the DivaCup. I only leaked once and I believed I did not have the menstrual cup inserted properly. No leaks during bed time. This is HUGE for me.
I am really excited about this product and wish I was aware of it many years ago. In the past, I have had to have 2 sets of underwear…one set for everyday wear and one set for that monthly time. I’m relieved now.
Head to the Store Finder to purchase The DivaCup.

My other thoughts!
*I received a DivaCup in return for my honest reveiw and opnions. No other compensation was given.

I hate spending money on pads. I found a half-used package at a yard sale once and was ecstatic!
They cost a fortune so anything to stop buying pads will save us soooo much.
They cost so much and even homemade cloth pads are bulky and uncomfortable in the summer especially.
I have been thinking about getting one since my second child my periods have been lasting over a week from beginning to end and the cost of pads is going up with the economy. I would love to win one.
I’ve wanted to try one for some time. I had a moon cup (similar) but lost it.
I hate using pads and constantly seem to leak using even the heaviest of tampons. I would really like to try the diva cup.
I know just what you mean…also using even the most cottony-type pads, I have irritation for a days afterwards…Diva cup sounds like a nice alternative.
I’ve been thinking about purchashing the dia cup for a while!
I refuse to wear tampons anymore, but I probably spend a fortune on pads during my cycles as, like you, am a very heavy bleeder (not to mention with a very long menses, usually between 7 and 10 days long with the first 4-5 being heavy). I JUST read up about the divacup in the past week and was wanting to give it a try. 🙂
Thank you so much for linking to What Works Wednesday! I am so excited to try this Diva Cup.

Pads are so expensive! I’d like to try the diva cup.
I’ve been wanting to try the Diva Cup. Thanks for sharing about your giveaway on the Texas Rubies group.
You are so welcome!
I love the Diva Cup!!! Here is my enthusiastic review. Not only does it save a lot of money and reduce waste of our natural resources, but it’s just a better product than any of that disposable stuff.
I’ve been wanting to try the Diva Cup for some time now.
I am currently using washable pads, but I’m not always quick at washing them for my next cycle.
The Diva Cup sounds like it will be SO much easier to use.
I am tired of pads
I am sick of tampons
Gosh this sounds like an answer to the no more tampon blues!
I would love to be able to sleep though the night without a tampon, and a pad and still having leak issues occasionall
With three daughters and one on the way, I should have stock in the pad companies! I am tired of spending so much on this necessity each month
I have used one for many years and can’t imagine going back to pads or tampons. I have 5 daughters and would love to get them all one…working on this.
