one for the women on my list

Jul 12, 2013 22:37

Ladies. I would just like to take a minute here to sing the praises of my diva cup. Honestly, these things are the best invention EVER and I do not know how I got through so many years of periods before I got myself a cup. Got my period today, and it is seriously the most amazing thing to go through THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAY and just have all my blood ( Read more... )

cats, purchases, diva cup, books, tmi

Yay!! I got really evangelical when I first made the switch. I converted a large percentage of my friends list. Everyone loved it except one (and she took advantage of their amazing return policy).

BTW I store mine in a small cup of peroxide when it's not in use... it keeps it snowy white as well as sterile!

Hmm... I see they have changed their return policy. Ignore that part.

Lol, no worries, I have no intention of returning mine! I wonder how that would work though; surely you couldn't return it if you'd used it?

Well, back in the early days (this was around 2002 I guess?) they were so keen for people to give it a chance, they offered you THREE CYCLES to make up your mind. If you still didn't like it, they'd take it back (not to resell, obv., just to be nice).

I see they also used to claim it would last forever, now they suggest replacing it every year?? I can't imagine why. Mine still looks brand new, and I think it's 11 years old.

Wow, that's amazing!! I guess probably not profitable for them, but then again, I can't imagine they'd have too many people returning them.

Oh really? I've only had mine for a year or two (totally forget now when exactly I bought it), but I wasn't planning on replacing it any time soon. Or . . . you know, ever, really, unless it started to break down or something. :p

Oh really? That's a good idea. I don't think we have any peroxide but maybe I'll have to pick some up. I've just been boiling my cup for a few minutes after each period to sterilize it, but it definitely hasn't stayed snowy white, lol.

Is it safe to have it in peroxide?
I don't have one yet, but plan to buy one. Can't say I'd want anything that was in peroxide resting on my insides.

The cup is non-absorbent, so after a soap and a rinse I can't imagine there would be any residue... I've been doing it for years.

Good to know! Thanks! :)
