The Diva Cup has changed the way I feel about my period. For the first time in 30 years, I didn't mind that week.

The Diva Cup is a reusable, latex free, hypoallergenic silicone cup that collects mentrual fluid. Easy to insert and unbelieveably comfortable, it can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time. Remove, empty, rinse and reinsert only twice a day. What freedom! I wondered about the gross factor at first, but this thing is so easy and so clean feeling that I will never go back to the old ways. It comes in two sizes; one for younger women who have not given birth and another for older women or ones who have given birth. I am in my 40's and have 3 children and used the Diva Cup without a leak or bit of worry.

No more expense or mess of tampons or pads. No more contribution to the landfill. No more "period panties"; you know the ones, the oldest, already stained undies you save for the week of the month. No excusing yourself to the ladies room when you feel that "uh oh".

The Diva Cup comes in a little drawstring bag so you can take it with you wherever you go and never have to worry about being unprepared.
