Thanks so much for bringing this product to market! My job keeps me travelling for about 5 months out of the year. I can't tell you how frustrating it is when your period shows up in some remote locale after every shop has closed. I think I've memorized how to say "Pardon me, but do you have an extra tampon?" in four languages. I used to try to schedule transatlantic flights so that they wouldn't coincide with my period. Now, I'm free as a bird. I love The DivaCup and so do my three sisters, all of whom "converted" after hearing me raving.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

I just wanted to say how pleased I am with this product! I purchased this in 2002 and then found out I was pregnant with my 6th child, so I never had a chance to try it. I had used the Keeper, so I just assumed it would be the same. This month when I started my cycle again I used my DivaCup and it worked so well! I had no leaks, which was a surprise because I had them with the other brand. I also enjoyed the clear color as it made it so much easier to clean. This product has made my monthly so much easier to deal with as my flow is 3 times the average flow. And using the DivaCup has made it so easy to tell how heavy my flow is. I used to hide in the house during that time of the month needing to stay near a bathroom, but now I can have fun and live! Thanks for the great product!

I just recently received my DivaCup – I was so excited to have it in time for my next cycle. I’ve waited with baited breath to try it out! I had to practice a bit beforehand, but I was a more comfortable with it after that. Once my cycle started it has just been wonderful! I feel totally protected, but can comfortably wear a liner just in case! I did have to trim the stem a bit, but once that was done it was great! I like feeling confident that I won’t have any accidents while I’m working, I can comfortably wait until I’m on my own time to check it. I also cannot wear a tampon for the first few days of my cycle – I tend to have cramps and soreness, and a tampon only compounds that. This has not interfered with that at all! Because it sits much lower in the body it has been quite nice. Thank you! I only wish I had heard about the DivaCup sooner!
Sincerely,
Julie,Tennessee

Well this is my first cycle without having to depend on Tampax. I always felt that I had an odor. I was so paranoid that people could smell me when I was wearing a tampon that often I stayed in the restroom. Now I go maybe once or twice while at the office to clean it. I really think that I am going to love the DivaCup. I received the cup a few days before my cycle this month. I feel so much cleaner & I still use a panty liner right now. Just until I get the hang of positioning the cup. It took a few times to get use to the new way. But this is the best thing ever!!! I have told every woman that would listen to me about it. Thank you so much for fantastic product.

I wanted to write in and say thank you! I just "celebrated" my sixth cycle of using the DivaCup and I am so unbelievably happy with this product, I really can't imagine going back to anything else. I have endometriosis and am usually in bed with severe pain for several days during my period. I wish this wasn't true, but since it is every little thing that makes my periods more comfortable and convenient is a godess-send! I love how tidy and clean the DivaCup is...no more nasty twisting, bunching pads to cope with, and I haven't had a single leak since I started using it! (If you are in too much pain to easily change your sheets, let me tell you, that's very important!) It's wonderful...
It did take me a while to get used to; I would say it took until my third cycle to truly be comfortable with the insertion/removal process. (I never used so much as a single tampon in my life, so getting used to wearing something internally was a bit of an adjusment!) But the instructions that came with the cup were very clear and reassuring, and I did make the adjusment...and now I'll never go back. Thank you so much for a wonderful product.
All the best,
Kerrie, Powell Butte, OR

Hi there DivaCup people,
Please add me to the massively long list of women who totally love the DivaCup. I have been using DivaCup for a few periods now, and I am so happy with the convenience and the environmental-friendly aspects of the DivaCup. I have a very heavy flow, and I find that the DivaCup holds more than most super-plus tampons.
My advice to any woman trying the DivaCup is to give yourself some time to get used to handling it. It took me a few tries before I could get the DivaCup in and out efficiently. And, at first, I found it was messy, but again, after a few tries, it was no more messy than handling a regular tampon. So take your time when you first use your cup, and allow yourself some time to get used to it. Also, the first time I wore the DivaCup, I got cramps. But after experimenting, I found the best placement of the DivaCup for me. No more cramps, and I am very happy.
Thank you for providing women with the DivaCup. And, I am sure that Mother Earth thanks you also!
Elizabeth, Prince George, B.C.

The old style concept with new image
This will be my 3rd cycle with the use of the DivaCup. I am using model 2 and am only 35 years of age. My first usage was a little bothersome with the handling and insertion. By the next cycle I used the cup with no problems, but did feel a bit of constant pressure upon insertion and after, until my muscles learned to relax. I am now a pro, and the removal of the DivaCup does
not affect me. I love the feeling that I am helping the environment, and not worrying about odors, and spills with the use of pads and tampons. I sleep throughout the night! Cleaning is a breeze! I sterilize the cup in boiling water before my first use and after my final use, put the cup in the convient cloth holder and toss in the cabinet until the next month. Thank you for this wonderful product, and making this item discreet that I can be taken everywhere and enjoyed in every activity.
Yours Truly,
Lori, Labrador, Canada

Radical Cheers for The DivaCup!!
Yesterday was my first experience with my DivaCup and it was AMAZING!! It was no ordinary day- I went to the March for Women's Lives in Washington DC (April 25, 2004) with the Syracuse System Shakers- the radical cheerleaders from Syracuse, and we cheered for 10 hours nonstop for the hundreds of thousands of phenomenal women (and men and children)- spilts and flips and kicks and our crazy cheerography- all with my DivaCup tucked neatly inside! It was so comfortable and natural I didn't even notice it- not even during the 7 hour car ride home! THANK YOU!!

I just wanted to write to tell you how much I really enjoy your product. I have waited through a few cycles before writing you because some cycles are heavier than others. The DivaCup is easy to use and so much more convenient than tampons or heavy pads. You don't have to carry around all kinds of tampons and pads in you purse anymore - cause the DivaCup is always with you. It is very comfortable and you don't have the irritation of that tampon string. When I have heavy cycles, during the night I have overflow problems and needed to use the much larger overnight pads along with super plus tampons. I do not have this problem with the DivaCup overnight. Also you lose that super dry feeling you get from wearing tampons that seem to absorb more than they should making tampon insertion and removal uncomfortable. You still keep your natural moistness with the DivaCup. I wish I would have found the DivaCup much sooner. I am a very satisfied customer. I just hope you keep making the DivaCup so that when this one needs to be replaced I will be able to get another.
