What's the difference between tampons and The DivaCup?

Inspired by this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs57ig...) from Natracare organic tampons, we also decided to do a water glass test to look at the issue of fiber loss, with some disconcerting results.

I am going to buy the diva cup! I have never used tampons and I'm glad I didn't I switched to reusable menstrual pads anyways :-)

yuck, using tampons is gros, i don't want fibres in my baginal canal.. i'll stick to pads.

Does anyone know if they come in smaller sizes? size one is one size to big

That fiber loss part was pretty gross! Haven't used tampons for years. Once you go diva cup it's hard to go back

[theaterpenguin]

"ew diva cups are gross because you have to put it in you" um what do you think you are doing with your tampon?

How so? It's medical-grade silicone so it's not going to give you an infection or anything, and the vaginal walls are quite muscular, so holding a lightweight cup isn't going to damage them.

All I have learned from this is don't buy cheap tampons from vending machines

Actually the tampon is false, a tampon sits in the vagina by the cervix that drips occasionally, but tampons are bag for other reasons

god i am not into diva cups. i doubt that it is good for a woman's vaginal walls.

I had never heard of the fiber loss thing. Ugh. I haven't used a tampon since I got pregnant in 2008, and man. Menstruation gets easier from there.
