Medical-grade, top-quality silicone

The DivaCup, a menstrual alternative, ends hassles with unreliable disposable tampons and sanitary pads in endless absorbencies, shapes and styles. This makes it perfect for all activities.

The DivaCup is a non-absorbent menstrual cup that simply collects menstrual flow. It is inserted in the vagina and sits at the lower base of the vaginal canal. It is worn internally, yet because it is soft and smooth, it cannot be felt nor will it leak when inserted properly.

The DivaCup is the most clean and convenient method of feminine hygiene protection. No need to touch the flow. It is worn low in the vagina, not near the cervix, so it is easy to remove. No mess!

The DivaCup ends hassles with unreliable disposables in endless absorbencies, shapes and styles. It is perfect for all activities – giving women true freedom without the worry, guessing and unreliability that disposable feminine hygiene products pose.

The DivaCup can be worn for up to 12 hours before emptying, washing and reinserting for use for another 12 hours. It can be used for light or moderate flows and is emptied more often to accommodate heavy flows.  Perfect for overnight use.

The DivaCup’s expert, proprietary, patent-pending features make it comfortable and assures ease of use and reliability. Perfect for traveling, running, biking, hiking, dancing, camping, swimming, diving, scuba, yoga, extreme sports and more...

• Latex-free, plastic-free, hypoallergenic

• No dyes, colors or additives

• Comfortable, reliable

• Clean, convenient, easy-to-use

• Worn for up to 12 hours at a time

Because many women have become accustom to purchasing disposable feminine hygiene products, they consider the expenditure “necessary”. Most women spend $150-200 U.S. a year on disposable tampons and pads. The purchase of The DivaCup results in significant savings. The cost of The DivaCup is equivalent to a moderately-priced blouse or dinner out, yet saves you money!

When should I replace the DivaCup?
Due to government standards and the personal, hygienic nature of the product, a menstrual cup should be replaced once a year.

After receiving a number of rave reviews from some of our customers, we decided to carry this product. Read what some women are saying about the DivaCup below.

"I use the Diva Cup. It's absolutely wonderful. I could see where some women may get squeamish...but I'm all about being more in tune with my body. The cup really allows you to see more of what's going on with your body. It has measuring lines that allow you to see or track the amount of menstruation. That helps me to track heavy vs. light days. Unlike tampons and pads, you don't have to take it out often. I usually take it out 2 times a day and take a short shower, for cleanliness purposes. I find that I get less cramps than I did with tampons. It definitely leaks less too, once you get the hang of how it feels. It can get frustrating, but after you have personally worked out how to put it in, take it out and how it's supposed to feel you'll wonder why your mother didn't tell you about it! I bought mine almost 3 years ago, and it's holding up just fine. I boil it every so often, for cleanliness purposes.  It really is a great product and it's great to know that all that waste isn't ending up in some landfill somewhere!!!"

STARS: 5 out of 5 stars for eco-friendliness
COMMENTS: Women around the world are increasingly aware of how they can make a significant, positive environmental impact by switching from disposable tampons and pads to The DivaCup. This simple change is as significant as switching from plastic to canvas bags!

Women, on average, experience a lifetime menstruation span of 41 years (11-52). From use of disposable feminine hygiene, an estimated 12 billion sanitary pads and 7 billion tampons are dropped into the U.S. environment (U.S. 1998) each year. Our revolutionary, reusable product is a modern, viable alternative to disposable tampons and pads.

Additionally, tampons and pads contain surfactants, adhesives, additives and dioxin. Dioxin, a known carcinogen, is a by-product of the bleaching process of rayon tampons. In landfills, these substances can leach into the environment (groundwater, streams and lakes) causing serious pollution and health concerns.

Although not all women can afford to purchase an energy-efficient hybrid car or convert their home to solar energy, they can reduce dangerous landfill waste by choosing to use a reusable menstrual cup. Use of The DivaCup creates a positive eco-footprint every month.
