Hi Lovely!
Fair warning: This post is all about trying out the Diva Cup, a sanitary cup that you use during your period. I was not sponsored in any way to share my thoughts and opinions on this product. I was mostly just curious.

I want to share my experience trying out this product and my final opinions. I figure if I am going to try new things I should try new things that will save me money and create less waste. Let’s get to it! I started trying out the Diva Cup
a few months ago. I wanted to test it out for a while before sharing my thoughts because I wanted to make sure I had a chance to fully develop my thoughts.
Ease of Use:
The cup is difficult to get in and out initially. The first time I had the thing in I kept checking it throughout the day to make sure my ho-ha didn’t eat it. (Yeah that might be a stupid fear but you never know!) I found that if you don’t put it in correctly then you can feel it but as you walk around, it kind of naturally positions itself correctly. Getting it out that first time was seriously the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. You have to push as if you are pooping while grabbing the thing and pulling it out. It requires a lot of patience, skill, and sweat. As I am still not an expert in using the cup yet I opt to only insert and remove it in the safety and comfort of my own bathroom at home. You can keep the cup in for 10-12 hours so I usually put it in before work, take it out later that evening and re-insert. When you take it out you just dump the crimson wave into the toilet, give the cup a wash with natural, unscented, water-based soap and stick that baby back in. The washing part is another reason I like to do it at home. So those are my thoughts on using it. Now to my final, overall opinion of the sanitary cup.
Let’s refer to the Hilary Scale.

a big…

Love it!! As I said it can be difficult to use initially and I still haven’t gotten the complete hang of it BUT I love that I save money, reduce waste, and I feel like I’ve gotten more comfortable with my body by using it. Nothing makes you better appreciate your lady bits like shoving a silicone cup up it and being able to get the thing out. I mean seriously, that is crazy cool that your body can do that stuff.
Do you use a sanitary cup? What do you think of the whole thing?
