BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[ditaykan]

So I promised you guys pics of my used DivaCup thing a little while ago. Not the best, since I pretty much totally forgot to take a camera device with me into the bathroom most of the time, but you have a pretty good idea of 'beginning', 'middle', and 'end'.

Interesting. Our old suitemate had one, but hers was red or purple i think. It looked different too, so different brand I guess. Anyway, she told us about it, but I am also afraid it would fall out. Are there certain movements you can't do? Do you like it?

[ditaykan]

Nope, I'm capable of doing pretty much anything besides sneezing when I put it in-- it's more of an unreasonable fear. Heck, you can have it in when you're peeing or even pooping without trouble.

I do like it. It makes my period so much more convenient and easy, it's ridiculous.

it can't fall out. although horseback riding doesn't feel so good...

Yaaay menstrual cups!

I've used mine for two cycles and it's fantastic. A bit terrifying at first but then fascinating because, really, I had no idea exactly what was coming out of me, and now I do! Think I need to get a bigger one for the first two days, though. It fills up in about two hours |-:

I really would LOVE to start using one of those, but my paranoia that it would tip/flip over inside of me and spill blood EVERYWHERE keeps me from trying it. :(

[ditaykan]

Yeah, that... based on my experience, pretty much can't happen. It's way too big.

When I have my cup inside my vag, it usually cups my cervix :) When I put it in, I let it open, position it to the cupping angle with a finger, slide my middle finger between the cup and the walls of my vag to make sure the cup isn't just beside my cervix (and that it is round, if it has a dip somewhere it hasn't opened up like it should). No spontaneous tilting experiences here!

How do you keep it from stinking? I used to have one and after a while it smelled awful so I threw it away. I miss it though!

[foreign_xchange]

I know bicarbonate of soda is good for getting rid of bad smells... maybe washing it with some of that would help?

[ditaykan]

I wash it? Haven't had any issues with smell thus far. It's suggested that you boil it after every cycle, maybe that would help?

[mejane_83]

I washed it, boiled it, soaked it in peroxide.. nothing worked.

Mine is turquoise :) My dog ate my last one, a stained Lunette that served me with pride til the bitter end!

[maligator]

haha, my dog would do that too if he ever got ahold of it.
