Ok, I just watched the video that came in my kit......
WEIRD...It was like one of those strange 6th grade sex ed videos.
I am going to try this thing, in hopes that it actually works.
Being able to wear something for 12 hours would be awsome, since I always get my period when I have something to do. Like Vacation!

I ordered three of them. My daughter saw them in the bathroom (still shrink wrapped) She asked what they were, and thought it was the coolest thing. I gave her a starter kit.
Next, her girlfriend comes over (16 years old) My daughter showed her the package, and I started explaining. Out of the mouth of a 16 year old..."I've heard about the "Diva Cup!" Then she said, "Thank you, I've wanted to try these."
It seems like the younger ones are very open to the idea.
My daughter said that most women are "scared of their own vagina's".
All three of us laughed together, and we will let you know how the "disposable" one works, and if it's a "go" we will tell you about the "Diva Cup".

Yeah that was my thoughts too, but you really should order the kit just to watch the video. It may be weird but it helped push me into trying it. The doc on the tape used a model to show how it goes in and out without spilling.

And 12 hours in the hole can't be a good thing.
But I have talked to a lot of women afraid of their vaginas. When OB Tampons came out, most women I talked to were all "ewwwww, no applicator and you want me to stick my fingers there?" You would not believe how many women are still like this

That's okay, I'm fairly happy with my current feminine hygiene routine.Somdmommy said:

Easy to get in a small purse, and easy to take one to the bathroom without the whole room seeing you.

Why? What's the big deal with menstrual blood?

your vagina is all flip flopped 
I have heard women with light periods say they were hard to get out. I loved them but thank goodness my female parts have been missing for ages

The OB's did have "girth" when they opened up.
The store brand tampons (I never liked the plastic applicators) were my next, and current brand of "seepage uppage".I like the idea of something that I can use for hours longer, and hope to make the progression from "disposable" to "re-usable". As I said before, it's "concept" is really no different than a diaphragm. At least with the "Diva" it will be only my "gunk" that I will be rinsing off.
I can hear everybody barfing now.

Everything you never wanted to know: You basically rinse it off, and re-insert. :dixiecup:
