By Jennifer, from Indiana (Age 32, 2 children) I used the Diva Cup for the first time a week ago and was very pleased. There was a learning curve in getting it placed properly and I had to trim the stem.  If it was not positioned just right, I felt quite a bit of rectal pressure similar to the pressure I felt in the latter part of my pregnancy. Also, a few times it seemed to work its way down a little where I could feel it. Some adjusting remedied both of those. I did feel this after wearing it overnight but it was time to take out anyway. I am not sure if this is a common issue with DC users. Of course, it may just be the shape of my body. Since having my first child, tampons are extremely uncomfortable with similar problems. I still have to get used to the emptying and cleaning. But my flow is light enough that I only need to empty 2x per day, even on my heaviest day. One of these times can be in the shower. So this is a plus! Now for the good….. I wore the DC exclusively during my cycle and other than some positioning, I had no problems. I could not even feel it most of the time and had ZERO leaks. I even exercised while wearing it. Another plus, NO ODOR like with chemical filled tampons and pads. (Yes, I’m that weird girl who smelled, just to know!) PROS: No leaks No odor Wear for 12 hours Comfortable No chemicals Never invest in disposables again Reusable Cost effective No gross, uncomfortable string CONS: It is just different, so there was hesitancy Learning curve for positioning Sink or bottle of water close by for emptying & cleaning So, overall, overall the pros WAY outweigh the cons. I am very pleased and will be using the Diva Cup exclusively from now on. And I will be telling people about it!   Want to try one out for yourself? “Click Here” to purchase your very own DivaCup at below retail prices.
