Diva International, The Diva Cup, Model 2, 1 Menstrual Cup Product Review

Nice. Very well! The most beautiful invention. Hard to take out. yes. I recommend to all! Great cup. Definitely better then tampons and pads. Quite firm, so it’s not comfortable to put in and out. Unfortunately, sometimes leaks

Frankly, a great invention, I don’t know how I used to live before

Cap made of quality silicone. Inside is imperceptible, you need to have the knack to properly install and remove. When set correctly, it does not leak.

I was afraid of trying the Diva cup, but lava, I swear that I was encouraged and tried it, daughters of something. I don’t feel like at the time of the cycle, never, ever. Something simple and comfortable, because the start was tormented, so much that I learned how to get it in and get it out. Life became easier. Praise be to God. I don’t feel my internal presence at all.

We purchased this because thing which we used before is hard to open, but it is easy to open, but is hard to take out.

so good

Very soft bowl, well fixed, easy to install. It is convenient with strong discharge, and with weak. When a dream does not leak. Holds for about 5 hours without replacement. Convenient, practical, forgot about tampons forever!

Very comfortable! Forgot i was using it on several ocations, and it has never happened before with other type of cup. Highly recomended!

It does really work! It leaked once though when I was doing yoga. Even in heavy days, no need to empty (for 5 hours at least).

It’s too firm for me.

We must try to put it right, but unfortunately sometimes leaks.

Questions and Answers

How do I clean the cup?
I am under & have never given birth. I accidentally ordered the model 2 cups thinking they were just newer models. I purchased 2, they’re unopened, never used – but i don’t know the return policy. I’ve had them for about 3 weeks and probably tossed the invoice.1. Is there anyway to return or exchange the product? 2. If not, what are the potential side effects if I use the two, but my size should be a one?
What’s the size of the cup. I’m small sized and looking for S size.

I empty it in the toilet or shower, rinse it under water and then use Diva wash on the cup (much the same way you’d wash your hands!) I think the instructions when you get your cup you can use any ph neautral wash but you’d need to double check on that one. You can also put them in boiling water to sterilise them. It sounds yuck but it’s really not, and using a cup once you have it sorted is much much nicer then dealing with other sanitary products that are offered on the market. Best of luck!
I’m not sure how young you are but I ordered the Model 2 at age 28 (haven’t given birth). I started to experience leaking from the first Model so my sister recommended I get the bigger cup and I have not experienced any leaking with Model 2! I’m very pleased with the bigger cup and I expect it to last 8-10 years so I will be in the late 30’s by then. The only difference between the two models is the second cup is a bit bigger. If you’re in the late 20’s then it’s probably fine to use Model 2 but otherwise you might want to exchange it for Model 1, which will be a better fit.
This one is model two so for ages 30+ I believe. The model one is for younger than 30 so I guess smaller
