This is the first cycle trying the Diva Cup, and I love it! The first time was a bit painful (it is unreal how much this 31 year old doesn't know about her own body!) getting it in, but after that, it has been fine. I have had no leaks at all.

I also love the pads. They are so much thinner than any pad I've ever worn. I generally don't wear pads, but I did the first few days of my cycle with my DivaCup because I didn't know if I'd leak while I was at work. Now, I cant stop telling people about it.

OK, and lets be honest here: the blood is kind of gross at first, but really, so were bloody tampons.
This is such a great product, and I love that there is no more plastic tampon applicators going into the landfill. (Posted on 4/14/12)

I am sooo jealous of all You women who get to try & use the DivaCup with Mini Panty Liners & LunaPads. Unfortunately my Uterus was damaged during Child Birth & had to be removed so I no longer menustrate. But all my years of menustration I Prayed for a Great Invention such as this.

I do have a Daughter who has started to Blossom now so I Definitely will see about getting her the Starter Kit and start her out with the DivaCup with Mini Panty Liners and LunaPads before she gets the opportunity to try anything else. Going to start Saving towards it from this day forward as I know this will be one purchase Worth Investing $$$ on. I hope by Starting my own Daughter out with the DivaCup and LunaPads sets an example so that ALL her Friends Will Follow.

Thank You for this Wonderful and Amazing Product. I can't wait to get my Daughter started with it. I want a Uterus again just so I can Experience a Green Period lol, something I wanted for sooo long! I will leave another review in the near future once my Precious Daughter comes to a Full Bloom...

Love You and Thank You a gazillion times for your Fantastic Invention and helping Our Environment,

I got my Diva cup before I went on a month-long hiking trip. It was great! The other women had to carry out their used pads or tampons in a plastic bag, which is not only disgusting but also adds to the weight-- a big deal on a backpacking trip where you're already carrying forty pounds. Me, I just poured out the blood, rinsed my Diva cup, and put it back in.
After the first few times I found the cup comfortable and easy to insert. There are some Youtube videos showing how to fold it, or you can just fiddle with it. Be careful not to inadvertently insert air, which can be uncomfortable. I would recommend wearing a pantyliner just like you would with a tampon.
One thing: if you use it in a public restroom, you might want to bring some bottled water so you don't have to walk with it to the sinks covered in blood. (If you're in a pinch and not too prissy, urine is sterile, meaning it is actually cleaner than tap water in terms of bacteria and infection.) (Posted on 1/10/12)

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE !

It took me 2 cycles be a DivaCup pro, but I've got it and love it. I tell EVERYONE about it. The Pantyliner that came with it are super soft - love them. The only thing I would change, is a prefer longer ones, but they still work :) Really good for my last days were I don't have much fluid going on and a little dry.

:) Great Combo! (Posted on 12/14/11)

Well I wanted to say that it was easy to get in, but getting it out was totally frustrating! I have difficulty grabbing stuff, so the little stem was pretty hard to reach. It actually made me nervous and I tried everything. Bearing down brought it down, but not far enough. I got freaked and actually just reached in and grabbed the side and got it out. I wish the stem was actually longer. It isn't a solid stem, so it smooshes and gets kinda moist so it's hard to grab. Since I just pulled it out that way, my opening hurt and was super sore for a few hours, (sorry for the graphics), but I must say that I didn't realize how heavy my flow was the first day. I will use it now always the first day! I could probably use it more often but for just the first 12 hours it's super heavy flow and I think it's the best time for a tampon type thing. I'm also glad to have an option for swimming days! Anyway, my advice, get one of these, BUT don't freak out! I think that's a bit scary to using the cup, but it works great! (Posted on 9/20/11)

I have been wearing lunapads for about 3 months and really wanted to make that leap to the DivaCup however I saw it and was like What the HECK! THAT can go INSIDE ME!??!??!?! I got it and played with it for 2 days just folding into a dozen shapes and seeing what wouldn't be so scary. I think I actually appreciated the time I got to play with it before I used it. It made me less scared and able to relax.

Well, many times people have said it takes a learning curve. It didn't for me. I folded it once into the triangle shape, that didn't work because it was actually too small (I was thinking the smaller the better. It got part-way in and opened and it was too early, so I took it out, washed it in warm water (which helped relax my muscles) and folded it the c shape. It went right in.. I will admit that when it opens it feels kinda funny because you can feel it pop a little. Nothing startling but just a weird feeling (and sound!)

It's been years since I wore tampons because they pinched and felt gross and hurt when I pulled them out and they weren't "filled." I was thinking I'd never try anything "up there" again. But after talking to the Lunagals and reading all the other stuff, I was like I really can't go wrong here!

Thanks lunagals! (Posted on 9/17/11)

This is the first purchase I made at Lunapads.com - it is also the best! I can't imagine my life without a DivaCup now. It has completely changed how I feel about my periods! Now I don't mind having my period at all! This kit is a great start, after I'd tried the pantyliners I HAD to buy some more, they are amazingly soft and pretty! I feel absolutely secure wearing them.
