The DivaCup is great tampon alternative. Reusable, safe, easy to use, and hypo-allergenic (made of medical-grade silicone), it's even suitable for women with latex allergies. Choose Size 1 if you are under 30 and have never had a vaginal or c-section birth, or Size 2 if you are over 30 or have had a vaginal or c-section birth. **Note: we stock only the Size 2 as it is by far the most popular choice for our customers. If you need a Size 1, ask and I'll find one for you!
Back in the 1930's the innovative menstrual cup was invented as a form of internal feminine protection. The DivaCup™ is a modern version of this proven concept that has been redesigned with the latest technology in moulding and materials.
The DivaCup™ is cleared for marketing by the FDA (USA), and holds a current Health Canada medical device license. It is made of soft medical grade silicone, which is latex-free, 100% hypoallergenic and odorless. For over 50 years, silicone has been safely and extensively used in products for the health care industry.
Since The DivaCup™ is reusable, it is very economical. As well, you can feel confident that you are doing your part in environmental conservation. Landfill and pollution problems are on the rise and continue to be a worldwide concern. In 1998, 7 billion tampons and 13 billion sanitary pads and their packaging made their way into landfills and sewage systems in the USA alone!

In my experience, the Diva Cup has a bit of a learning curve. If you don't have success the first time, I know of an excellent, and private, Yahoo group where women help other women with tips and advice using a cup. Definately try it for a few months...you'll fall in love once you get the hang of using it!
