I got my diva cup roughly three months ago and I LOVE it. I honestly, don't understand what I was thinking before them. I would highly recommend the diva cup to women who have a heavy menstrual flow, its stopped me from waking up in the middle of the night to make sure I wasn't leaking. I feel like menstrual cups really help you understand your period in a whole new way. So if you're curious about trying a cup out, just go ahead and make the leap. I think you'll be really impressed.
I love the diva cup (and I only got it just yesterday)!! I posted a long comment that didn't get posted :( but yea just make sure you are not afraid to put your CLEAN hands all up in there. And the 7 fold is better than the U fold they tell you to do. (google 7 fold and menstrual cup you'll find a good picture, it pops out a lot better for me when I do the 7 fold).
I will NEVER go back to pads again...NEVER ;) (I was never a tampon gal, too afraid of TSS)
True, but I have yet to hear someone who has had great success with the U fold :), I just want people to be aware that there are an array of different folds to choose from. The 7 fold works well because it gives the cup a more narrow tip which allows it to enter more easily. If you don't like the 7 fold then don't use it! Lol
I was also disappointed that DivaCup changed the website from 10 years to one year. I've heard that they did that because the FDA wanted them to, but I'm not sure if I believe that (none of the other companies say only one year).
Age does not matter, as long as you are getting your period, and you are not a virgin who lives in a country or home that demands you have an intact hymen on your wedding night (because it will break a hymen). There are two sizes: One for women above 30 and who have given birth vaginally. And one for women UNDER 30, who have never given brith vaginally. That is what you want to base your choice on. Hope that helps.
your statement is kind of misleading. there are two sizes. from what i understand size one is for women under 30, and have not given birth vaginally or (according to some sites) Had a cicerean(sp?). size two is for women over 30, or who have given birth.

I understand they had to change to saying to replace it every year for safety standards from the FDA - they have to say it.

The same fold doesn't work for everyone. What fold works for you won't necissarily work better for other people.

The only information I did not mention was was about the cecerean. Otherwise, what we both said is fairly similar.

similar yes, but it could have been misconstrued. just clarifying! :)
