After my disappointing encounter with the Instead Soft Cup, I’ve moved on to the Diva Cup. And I must say, halle-freakin-luyah! The Diva Cup is seriously the answer to all of my periodic problems.
After using it for just one cycle, I know I will never go back. Though the insertion and removal does take a bit of getting used to, and may cause some discomfort, once it’s in, it stays in and feels like nothing (this lack of feeling may be achieved by cutting off the little nub at the base of the cup that sticks out- don’t worry, the cup won’t get lost inside you!) If inserted correctly, you’ll stay leak-free (even when there was leakage, it was very little). I was surprised by how much cleaner you feel when using this product. You just pull it out, and all the blood is inside the cup, while the outside is all clean. This is a huge improvement compared to the leaky, messiness of pads and tampons- uh uh, never again, my friends. I have been converted!
Think this is a little strange? Well, there are whole cunt-loving communities devoted to this stuff! You just have to know where to look. And once you’ve been exposed, you realize that there’s a whole ‘nother world of this! I knew about Instead, the Keeper, the Divacup, the Mooncup, but who knew there was so much more than that? The Lunette, Miacup, Femmecup, Ladycup?
What!?!?
Snoop around, and maybe even, *gasp*, purchase one! With so many options and variations out there, there’s gotta be one that’s just right for you!
