So I just bought the diva cup because I was so tired of my lady parts getting suffocated in this summer heat and can we talk about irritation also! I've got to say I'm pretty satisfied with the cup! I didn't have to worry about having a pad, although on my first day wearing it I did leak but it was my first time so! Most girls say they can't feel it, I could, it sort of felt like a large tampon but with out having to take it out every 4 hours. I did have a hard time getting it out but it was doable. End of the day it was a good purchase and I'll be using it on my heavy days.
