It's official- I love love love my diva cup, and nothing not anything not even the most comfy homemade pads can compare. Like one of my friends said, when I told her about it, "I'm not sure if this is weird, but I'm actually really excited for you". :D

I love my Diva Cup and wish I had found it years ago!

It does take a few tries to get used to inserting but after that its wonderful.

So far, I'm not super impressed. I have several pairs of pants that now need to be worked on to get blood stains out. I mean massive blood stains. It would work alright for one time, then wouldn't do a darn thing the next time. I recommend trying it at home, not when you have a huge weekend planned. :rolleyes: I had to start it out by going to a livestock auction, then had to do a weekend long party, all while still trying to figure the stupid thing out. I certainly hope that this gets better.

I bet you're having a problem wiht it not popping open once inserted.
I have that problem myself, its very frustrating and I try a few times then give up and use something else.

I had problems like that at first. I found that if I give it a good twist once it is in, it pops open completely and forms a good seal.
You can give it a gentle tug and if you feel suction, you've got it open and in the right spot.

:gig I twist and turn and do all kinds of things with the cup - I end up taking it out and trying again, and again - then giving up.

I tried a few of the other folds, and they also work some of the time. I think when I'm tense or in a hurry or worried a kid will walk in on me - that makes it even more difficult to get it to pop open.

I can use it probably three times or so per cycle, the rest of the time I just give up!
