Diva Cup Diva Cup #2 Post Childbirth, Cup

My period returned when my EBF son was just 3 months old. Tampons felt horrible (not to mention filled up in record time) and cloth pads weren't working for me, so I invested in the Diva Cup after hearing a glowing review from my best friend. Confession: I was terrified of the thing! It looked h-u-g-e. But once I worked up a little courage and my boy went down for his nap, I was able to insert it very easily and painlessly. 

The Diva Cup has gotten me through three leak-free cycles now, and I still feel as though I'm mastering the removal process, but I'd rather fumble a bit twice a day than have to constantly worry about leaking tampons/pads. The only personal downside is that I do need to be relaxed during insertion/removal, which can be a challenge with my son crying whenever I set him down for a moment, but that (hopefully!) won't be an issue for much longer. 

Overall, I'm so happy with this product and how it works for me. Don't be afraid to give it a shot!

I can't begin to express how wonderful this product is. I went from heavy and uncomfortable periods to not even realizing I had it! When my sister first told me about it, I thought she was disgusting (a cup full of what?!). I had an abnormal pap though that was attributed to wearing tampons and it scared me enough to give it a try. Much to my suprise, after a few days of experimenting with it (it takes a few tries to figure out how to get it in right so there aren't any leaks) I was so sold I was telling everyone I knew to buy one. I was really shocked to find that it was more sanitary (I was SO sure I was going to be disgusted). I highly recommend this product. I only wish I would have had an open mind sooner. I do recommend wearing a pad if you have a really heavy first day or two in addition if you don't have the resources to empty it. I usually fill my cup 2 to 4 times the first day and night of my period. After that first day though, I have to remind myself to change it because I literally forget I have my period.

I've used the Diva Cup about eight years now, and other than the initial learning curve, it's been trouble-free. I consider this cup to be one of the best purchases I've made. I wish I'd had one sooner! I was worried it would be messy, uncomfortable or hard to use, but my experience has been just super easy and my fears were definitely unwarranted. The Diva Cup is comfortable, simple and pays for itself super fast. The silicone is sturdy and extremely durable. I can't say enough good things about this product. 

I can't say enough good things about the Diva Cup.  Since having children, I have had really heavy flows.  There were nights when I would wear a super absorbency tampon, an overnight pad and still wake up with a huge blood stain on my sheets.  I even bled through my jeans while in public on more than one occasion.  It was bad.  The Diva cup has changed all of that.

I can wear it all day and night and don't have to worry about accidents anymore.  It's comfortable and I've never had any leaks.  I love it!  I'm so happy to no longer need tampons or pads.

I now have my freedom back! I used to have to be homebound the second day of my cycle because of the very heavy flow I would get (tampons and pads would leak!).  Now with the diva cup, I only have to change it 2-3 times that heavy day and only once the other 3 days of cycle. As for the last two days of my cycle, I sometimes forget I even have my period. One thing I noticed is that morning of my heavy day, if I don't have the cup in just right and if I don't sleep with my torso slightly elevated, I stand up out of bed and the entire contents of the cup just pours right out of me. There is a bit of a learning curve but once you get it, it's fantastic!!!

I'm not toally sure how long I've had mine, but I love it, even though it will overflow on my one REALLY heavy day. Meaning I have to empty it every hour or it leaks, so I make sure to wear a panty liner on those days and I'm ok. I love my Diva Cup it's one of the best purchases I've made in the last year. I highly recommend them!
