I felt like I needed to share with you all the great joy I found in a new product that has been introduced into my life. I bought a Diva Cup*. I was very unsure about getting one and was like this is stupid, how do you even use it etc. But after talking with some friends who have it and being fed up with buying tampons and pads, I bought one. I followed all the instructions on washing and everything before use and then stared at it for a good 5 minutes before taking a deep breath and putting it in. It is not a scary or daunting as it looks and is super comfy! The first few put ins and take outs were a little difficult, but I got the hang of it. There's no waste and you can wear it for like 12 hours. It is wonderful. I am so happy that I bought it. I have horrible periods. Cramps, pain, nauseous, etc, all helped by being on birth control so I am still a semi functioning human being all month long. Except for the days where I decided to be the laziest human and do nothing all day, but everyone needs days like that. I am excited to save money and have one less thing to worry about. I felt like you should all know this and share in my excitement. No more trying to find the right tampons and pads that are noisy and uncomfortable.
Side note that is a helpful when using the Diva Cup, wash with baby shampoo. My girlfriend gave me this advice and it works great since it is soap free, everything free since it is for babies.
Have a wonderful, happy period all you amazing women!
P.S. Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend for not being weirded out when I was discussing my period with him.
*I am in no way associated with Diva Cup. These are my own thoughts and feelings on the product.
