Comments
I bought a DivaCup a few months ago. Expensive ($40) but I figured if I never had to buy another tampon, it'd be worth it. And for me, it is. PROS: • More comfortable than a tampon • Much lower risk of TSS • Can leave it in for 10-12 hrs (you can urinate with it in, though I find it's slower going) • Saves money on feminine products • Reduces waste • Small - a bonus on trips and if you don't have much storage space CONS • Initially expensive (mine was $40) • Insertion can be difficult to master at first and if you do it wrong, you'll get some leakage. (Use with a pad at first) • If you can't reach your sink from the toilet, I think it'd be annoying to clean • Taking it out in public toilets is weird. I avoid it, but you could use a wet wipe. • If it bothers you to see your own menstrual blood or you aren't comfortable with reaching into your vagina to pull the cup out, it's not for you.
