Ok. So when you really think about it, buying tampons and pads is like buying garbage. Literally, you are buying something that you are planning on throwing away! There has to be a better option for our money and the earth!
Then I heard about the Diva Cup. It comes in 2 sizes, can be worn for 12 hours straight, and washed and reused. Sounds awesome and I dove right in.
Size 2 was for those who are 30 years old and/or who have ever had a baby - vaginally or via c-section. That fit my description and I tried it. I was able to insert the Diva Cup with little effort, but then the tricky part came. IT GOT STUCK!
Literally, I couldn't get it out. I tried for 15 minutes to get it out on my own before I decided to get help. The suction was so tight and the cup had moved so far back that I wasn't able to get it out on my own.
After getting the size 2 Diva Cup removed, I decided that maybe it was the wrong size for me. Maybe I needed the smaller size. So I got the size 1 designed for those under 30 and who have never had a baby. I inserted it in the evening and an hour later was able to remove it no problem. So I decided to wear it over night (directions say you can). When I got up in the morning, IT WAS STUCK AGAIN!
It was so far back and the suction was so tight that I couldn't get it out on my own. Deja Vu! Once again after 10 minutes of trying to get it out - which resulted in my feeling nauseous from all the pressure down there - I needed to get help again.
Major bummer! I was so excited to try this method, but it seems it is not the right fit for my body. I will be getting some reusable organic cotton moon pads instead.
