About a year ago I switched to a menstrual cup. I was having progressively worse period symptoms and it just so happens that my best friends mom is a dolah (I'm sorry if I spelt that wrong but its similar to a mid-wife). She gave my Diva Cup told me to try it if I didnt like it then not to use it butnif I liked it than it was mine.She warned me that my first couple cycles probably wouldnt be super smooth. Needless to say... I loved it. The one thing she didn't warn me about is the product stash that would sit unused. I'm almost debating making diys with them because I have so much I don't know what to do with them.
