Hi; I've never had a child, and prefer 'slim' tampons, but I am 30, and I've got a fairly big build (tall, broad-hipped). Which size should I go for?
Serious question: has anyone ever had trouble getting the Divacup out upon removal? Really want to try the diva cup but terrified of this happening!
This is stupid, but what is the possibility of it it getting stuck?
Has anyone used this while swimming? Does it stay put in the water?

Reviewing this probably about 6 years later - still going very well, sturdy, just give it a boil every so often to sanitise, good as new!I love thinking how much plastic and waste I’ve saved over the years by switching to this!I’ve swam, been in lakes, water parks, worn white trousers, don’t let tampon adverts lie to you, buy one of these, it’ll save you so much money and you’ll go great for the environment. I also feel a lot cleaner throughout the day.

A Silicone Miracle
Genuinely a miracle (for the most part), in the form of a medical grade silicone cup! For reference, I'm 16 and haven't given birth (thankfully). Overall, I get on really well with the Diva Cup. Soft, smooth silicone means you can barely feel it once its inside and the thickness of the material means its very easy to open it once you know how. It takes some practice to figure out how to insert and stop leaks (cover your WHOLE cervix with the cup!!!) but once you get this sorted in 1 or 2 cycles, it's wonderful to just forget about your period for 12 hours!My only problems were that when I initially cleaned it with soap, as suggested, I got a painful bacterial imbalance (the leaflet DOESN'T tell you you can boil it!) and even now, the cup can sometimes make me feel a bit like I need a wee when I'm standing up, but this is most likely a personal problem than a problem with the product itself!The few problems I have with the Diva Cup don't take away from its exceptional quality and performance and so it definitely deserves 5 stars. A comfortable, reliable and environmentally friendly menstrual product.-=-=-=-=-=-=-When it first arrived my box was a bit banged up but the cup itself (and the carry bag) were in perfect condition. The instructional leaflet provided tells you virtually everything you need to know including how to insert and care for the cup, but it does leave out a few bits and pieces.My biggest criticism is that the leaflet implies that you must clean the cup with either Diva-Wash (which is rather overpriced imo) or anti-bacterial soap. I actually got a bacterial imbalance (very painful...) from using soap at all! It wasn't until after, that I discovered you dont need to use anything. It's more than enough to boil the cup in a pan of fresh water for 2 minutes, since it wont burn or melt (see: silicone cupcake cases!) and takes away all risk of rashes or irritation. I personally feel its a shame this information was left out as it could save a lot of money and, in my personal case, pain!The cup itself is made of really nice silicone. A friend of mine has a few different cups, not including the Diva, and this one definitely has the smoothest, softest silicone. It's quite a long cup and so would probably be better suited to people with a high(er) cervix, but could still be used successfully by most! The stem isn't stretchy and isn't too flexible, which is really good for pulling/pushing when need be. The grip rings that run up onto the base of the cup, again, aren't flexible so it's much much harder to slip/lose your grip. On the inside of the cup, the DivaCup logo and "Made in Canada" is printed nearer the top, and measurements (in both metric and imperial) run down the inside for monitoring your cycle, if desired. The four teeny tiny holes punched through the top rim all go through the silicone fully (compared to cheaper cups) but, as with ALL cups, can become blocked with use. This is easily fixed if the cup is filled with water, held against your hand, turned upsidedown and squeezed to force water through the holes.However, the silicone is quite thick. This means the cup is a bit more resistant to folds and pops open with a little bit more force (it shouldn't hurt, though!) once inserted, compared to cups with thinner silicone. Some may desire this and others may not!From what i've heard, a softer and/or smaller cup (like the Meluna S or M) might typically be better suited for a teenager or someone with a small hymen (more easily inserted, less "pop" feeling) but it's purely personal preference and, considering my own age, I got on with the thick silicone really well! An advantage of this is that it's much easier to pop open the cup once inserted.If you've never used a menstrual cup before (like me before I purchased it!) I would say it's a definitely fine to start with as I found out, but there may be better options for a beginner. As I said above, the thick silicone can be a bit difficult to handle initially.A few words of advice - do some googling! Have a look at some other cups on the market and their reviews to see if the Diva is your best first choice. (PreciousStarsPads on youtube is a wonderful resource!!).And don't give up right away. It took me about 1-2 cycles before I figured out how to properly (and comfortably) insert and open the cup, so I would urge anyone to try and stick with it for a bit, maybe wear pads as backups, and just see if you can get on with it!Overall, the few problems I have with the Diva Cup don't take away from its exceptional quality and performance and so it definitely deserves 5 stars. I would recommend this to everyone I know (that can use one!), if I had the guts to shout about my period!

I couldn't gush about my love for this more. 10/10
This will be a long review as it was a learning curve and took some getting used to. This cup has completely changed how I feel about my period. I used to absolutely hate it but now it hardly inconveniences me at all. It does take a little getting used to; you need to figure out how big your cervix is and which size cup you need (the Diva cup is a little too long for some people so this is really important to find out before buying), whether you need to trim the stem, how to fold it to get it in and out easily etc.. Once you've figured this out however (which only took me about two days) it's an absolute dream. I recommend precious star pads videos on youtube for advice and solutions to common problems.There are so many pros to the menstrual cup. You can keep them for three years, you can wear them for up to 12 hours (so overnight), you only need to empty them in the morning and evening, they're cheaper, they're better for the environment, it's interesting to see how much you bleed in a day, there's no risk of TSS, once you've found one that fits (and cut it if you need to) then you can't feel it at all and could honestly forget that you're on your period, they're so easy to get in and out once you get the knack, and you just have to wash them out with hot water during your period and then after your period boil it for 5mins and that's it (you can buy a special wash for it but everywhere says that's not necessary). I have quite a heavy period and have never leaked and generally only change it twice a day (morning and night).Honestly, using a menstrual cups has fixed all the problems I had with my period that it possibly could. The only issues I now have with my period are bloating, period pains, and feeling a bit sad sometimes.Obviously you have to be comfortable with putting your fingers inside your vagina, but this is so easy to get used to.I did have some problems when using the cup for the first time. I had an issue at first with getting it out- it seemed way too far up and I had one massive panic where I couldn't reach it for ages even though I was squatting and pushing down with my pelvic muscles. I've since learnt to always take it out when sitting on the toilet and since then I have had absolutely no problems- I think because the vaginal canal shortens in that position. I also had a problem with the stem at first, as my cervix often moved and the stem would often poke slightly out of my vagina and irritate it. I just trimmed the stem completely off and now I can't feel the cup at all once it's inside. There are grips around the base of the cup, and I didn't use the stem to get my cup out anyway as I just found it fiddly, unhelpful and a little in the way, so trimming the stem off has made it easier to remove my cup if anything. Originally I had a lot of pain when taking the cup out, but now I've learnt to fold it slightly while it's inside me and now it is as easy as taking a tampon out. Before I trimmed the stem, I did have one very unusual experience where after going to the toilet, showering, emptying and reinserting my cup, about 30 minutes later my vagina squirted liquid suddenly with no warning. It was not blood, I'd recently emptied my bladder and there was none of this liquid in the cup when I quickly took it out. This has never happened since however, and I think it could have been because the stem was rubbing against the urethral sponge (the g spot) so once I trimmed this off it stopped. Before I cut the stem, I also had problems with feeling like I needed the toilet constantly.The one downside with the cup is that sometimes when I go to the toilet, my vagina also pushes the cup down a little and out of the vagina so I feel like I need to remove it to wash it before reinserting again. This is quick and easy however, and no different to how I felt about tampon string. It also doesn't happen every time.It's really important to give it a few days to get used to and research a lot and figure out how to use it properly. Once you've done that, you won't believe how incredible using a menstrual cup is. I'm impressed every time I have my period.I would highly recommend getting a menstrual cup. This one in particular is reasonably priced compared to others, a nice silicone, not too firm or soft, comes with good instructions, is easy to get a hold of, and is very well reviewed.

The MOLLE sheath is of exceptional quality. Very happy with my purchase.
1. Fold the DivaCup along the rim and insert it following the instructions in the user manual. 2. Once the DivaCup is inserted, it will pop open and create a seal with your vaginal walls. 3. To remove the DivaCup, break the seal by pressing the base of the cup, then gently pull it out. 4. Empty the contents into the toilet, clean the cup with DivaWash or mild, unscented soap and water, and reinsert.
