Back in the 1930's the innovative menstrual cup was invented as a form of internal feminine protection. The DivaCup™ is a modern version of this proven concept that has been redesigned with the latest technology in moulding and materials. ![]()
The DivaCup™ is an approved by the FDA (USA) and Health Canada. It is made of soft medical grade silicone, which is latex-free, 100% hypoallergenic and odorless. For over 50 years, silicone has been safely and extensively used in products for the health care industry. Since The DivaCup™ is reusable, it is very economical. As well, you can feel confident that you are doing your part in environmental conservation. Landfill and pollution problems are on the rise and continue to be a worldwide concern. In 1998, 7 billion tampons and 13 billion sanitary pads and their packaging made their way into landfills and sewage systems in the USA alone! The DivaCup™ is very sanitary, comfortable, reliable and convenient. It holds one full ounce (30 ml). Since the entire cycle is an average of 3-4 ounces (90-120 ml), most women find that the cup is not even half full after 12 hours. The vagina is continually self-cleansing, washing away dead cells and bacteria. Tampons absorb the natural fluids that we need to keep the vagina clean and moist. The DivaCup™ is non-absorbent and simply collects the menstrual flow, leaving the natural moisture level in the vagina undisturbed. Depending on your flow empty the cup 2-3 times per 24 hour day, wash and reinsert. It can be worn up to 12 hours, even overnight. The DivaCup™ is ideal for all activities including swimming, camping, backpacking, and travelling. It is suitable for all menstruating women of all ages. The DivaCup is available in two models:
The Model 1 cup is 1 5/8" (~4 cm) in diameter and the Model 2 cup is 1 3/4" (~4.5 cm) in diameter. Both cups are around 2 1/4" in length in the body of the cup, with another 3/8" stem (2 3/4" total length). The stem may be trimmed to adjust to your comfort level. There is not a big difference between the two sizes (Model 1 is 1/8" (~0.3 cm) smaller), but it is important to use the recommended sizing to prevent leakage. We recommend Model 2 if you are over 30 years old because as we age, our hips naturally widen and the vaginal muscles lose elasticity. Since it is the vaginal muscles which hold The DivaCup in place, it is important to use Model 2 if you are over 30, even if you have not had a vaginal childbirth or c-section. How do I insert The DivaCup™?(This is a condensed version of the usage guide. You will receive a full version with your purchase of The DivaCup™) Wash your hands well with warm water and soap. While sitting or standing in a comfortable position, insert your DivaCup™ according to the following instructions.
Please refer to usage guide accompanied with your purchase of The DivaCup™ for further instructions. Have you seen this product cheaper?

Some days I could not even insert one. I have told my friends who have been converted and I intend to buy one for my neice. If tamps make you cramp and bleed more imagine what else they might be doing to your body - monthly injection of chemicals any1?

I am 40 years old & have very heavy periods now, but after using the cup for about 6 cycles I think they are lighter. I have no idea how this could happen but I am sure it has. It's comfy, easy to use, although I was a bit nervous the first few times. I just wear a washable sanitary towel incase I get a leak, but it's been really good. Great idea.

I was a little nervous about using this as I was not certain about having flexible enough muscles to hold it in place and I have heavy periods and usually change the super plus tampons every 2-3 hours. The claims are true - after 12 hours the cup was just about threequarters full and it stayed put! No leakage, no lugging around stocks of tampons spare pants and pads - BUY ONE!

No longer do I wake up in a mess, I no longer have cramps, I've saved a fortune on tampons and towels. I think every woman should own one of these little beauties...it is life changing.
