Diva Cup? Pros and Cons?

Question

I'm a girl that uses sanitary pads during my period, and I don't like using tampons. Although I have heard about the Diva Cup, and it's tempting to use. Do any of you use the Diva Cup? Could you provide Pros and Cons? I didn't know if there were any potiental dangers to using it? If you comment, Thank you!

Answer

Hell yeah I have a diva cup. I will say, however, that there's more than just the diva. There are more types of menstrual cups out there that may better fit your body and needs.
Pros: 
-Ever since I started it, I actually began to feel less miserable and gross on my period
-Depending on how much you flood, it can last for 12 hours. (on a heavy flow it will need to be emptied more frequently. It's still better than a tampon or pad when it comes to that)
- you don't have to worry about toxic shock 
- you don't get the irritation like some do (including me) from pads and/or tampons 
- you save so much money. Holy hell. It's great
- better environmental impact 
-you get a more accurate measurement for how much you actually flood if you need to track that
-no not strings or diapers! 
-no more carrying around extra pads or tampons when going places 
- easy to clean. Just rinse off at the sink and stick it back in. Carefully put it in boiling water (while watching it. Don't kill the poor cup) between cycles.
Con:
-it takes patience and the willingness to learn when you first get it. I can almost guarantee you that you won't get it right the first time. (With putting it in and getting it to pop open) just keep calm and keep trying. You will learn and once you do, it's fantastic
-holy heck trim your nails. You don't want to slice up your insides 
- you will have to suck it up if you're grossed out by period blood. (Even if you are, you get over it the more you use it)
