Diva cup.. Do you like it? Any tips on it?

Question

I've been reading about the Diva cup on and off. Yesterday, I decided to order one online to try it out and I'll be receiving it tomorrow. I'm kind of excited and skeptical about it. I just wanted to get other people's opinion on it and also wanted to get any helpful tips that you might give a newbie with the Diva Cup. Thanks!! :-)

Answer

I love mine! Remember that your first cycle with it might be a little iffy since it does take some getting used to but it'll save you so much money and space in your purse. Plus, you only have to empty it twice a day or so! The DivaCup comes with a great instruction manual to help you get the most out of your cup, so make sure you hold onto that once you get it. :)

Answer

I absolutely LOVE it!!! I was never really a fan of tampons, as they were painful to change. So I wore pads. I wish I tried the Diva Cup years ago!! It kind of feels liberating being able to wear what I want during AF without worrying about VPL. And no more uncomfortable sleeps! I have literally forgotten a few times that I was wearing the Cup! But, that's ok because u can wear it for 12hrs.   I will NEVER go back!!!

Answer

Me too, I have seriously been thinking about getting one for a while now.

Answer

I LOVE my Diva Cup! I will never again use anything else! I had zero problems from the start because I did a lot of research online while it was being shipped to me. I found the YouTube videos by precious stars pads were the most helpful for me. 
I checked on it every hour for the first day like I would have a tampon, before realizing how unnecessary that was.  It holds way more then tampons, finally a full nights sleep! I've also noticed less cramping and a shorter period. 
I've been using it for six months now and it still looks exactly the same as when I bought it. No discoloration. 
I wash it with the Diva wash at least once a day and I was boiling it after every cycle till I heard it would lay longer of you don't boil it. It really gets clean with the Diva wash though.

Answer

I love it! At first my cramps were worse but I squeezed it to release some tension and it was WAY better. It takes about 2-3 cycles to get used to it but it's really great and I've never had a messy experience

Answer

I tried the disposable version (I think they're called Instead) and have mixed feelings about it. I like that I don't have to change it as often but I HATE how messy they are and not nearly as discrete or convenient. I'll use up what I have but I don't think I'll be getting any more.

Answer

I tried it - it was very difficult to empty, messy, and painful, & I wasn't sure if I could ever get it clean enough.  It was stained a brownish color after the first use.  Yuck.  I forget why I tried it, but it was a failure for me.
