The DivaCup:
Not a tampon. Not a pad. Finally a better way!
Back in the 1930's the innovative menstrual cup was invented as a form of internal feminine protection. The DivaCup™ is a new version of this proven concept that has been redesigned with the latest technology in moulding and materials. It is made from durable medical grade
silicone,
which is used in many medical applications such as medical tubing, baby bottle nipples, breast pumps, contact lenses and even permanent medical internal body parts such as heart valves and joint replacements. The DivaCup™ silicone is not the same silicone used in breast implants. Unlike the gel silicone used in breast implants, the silicone used in The DivaCup™ is in a solid stable form and is 100% hypo-allergenic.
The DivaCup™ is very sanitary, comfortable, reliable and convenient. It holds one full ounce (30 ml). The entire cycle is an average of 3-4 ounces (90-120 ml). The vagina is continually self-cleansing, washing away dead cells and bacteria. Unlike tampons, The DivaCup™ is non-absorbent. Since it simply collects the menstrual flow, it does not disturb the natural moisture level in the vagina. Depending on your flow empty 2-3 times per 24 hour day, wash and reinsert. It can be worn up to 12 hours, even overnight. The DivaCup™ is ideal for all activities including swimming, camping, backpacking, and travelling. It is suitable for all menstruating women of all ages.
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!
According to consumer research, 60% of women experience leakage every month when using tampons and pads! With The DivaCup™ the majority of women feel secure without the hassle of worrying about leakage. Why use the old fashioned methods when there is simply a better way?
