Does anyone use a diva cup?

Question

I tried using a diva cup about 6 years ago and I hated it but I'm thinking of trying again because I'm so tired of buying disposable products.

Any thoughts or advice? Arguments for and against are welcome.

Answer

I've been using a Diva Cup for 8 years and I love it. I do trim the tip on mine because I find it can poke me if I don't, and it does make me feel like I have to pee more than I really do, and can make pooping a little uncomfortable if you're a bit constipated but all of that is no big deal for how great it is. It's clean, doesn't leak (if you put it in properly and check it's opened and sealed properly) and I've saved SO much money because of it.

Answer

Maybe try another brand of cup? It could work better, and really the only con I find is that I struggle to make sure it has opened, but after that it is awesome.

Answer

Why did you hate it?

Maybe a different brand will do?

I use a large Fluercup and have been happy with it for 3.5 years. I have a small Lunette (first cup), but it doesn't have enough capacity for my heavy days.

Answer

I had a friend recommend it because I was having a hard time with a really heavy flow. I love mine. I finally feel stress free about my period and never have to worry that I took enough tampons on a trip. It is so easy to use.. but definitely follow the directions on use. I had issues with leaks until I got it figured out.

Answer

I love /hate mine.  It's a pain in the ass to get in properly, but when it works it works. I can't use it for my first 2-3 days, due to extreme bleeding.
