!!!!!

Does the cup go inside? What if it overflows? Does it smell? I saw them at Earthfare but idk how they really work.

I use soft cup, same thing. It's wonderful. you can have sex on your period! such a fantastic invention.

Quoting Robbie's Incubator:" I get mine from CVS or Walmart. I usually you the Instead brand.  "

I am going to call then and see if I can find some. If I like them I may get that Diva one that is reuseable. It sounds much more pleasant than tampons or pads. Thanks very much!

diva cup has a store locator, Amazon sells them too!

If you have a child/or ever been pregnant or are over 30 you need model 2, if not get model 1.

yes the cup is worn internally, but very low in the vaginal canal, I had to trim the stem off of mine, it poked out! No smell, and can be worn up to 12 hours at a time!

Of course I live in nowheresville where they don't believe in anything outside of the norm.   Guess I will just have to order that Diva cup and use it next time, cause I don't think it's going to make it in time this go around, lol. Thanks to everyone for the reviews of this, I really hope I like it, because I am all for ditching evil tampons and pads.

I just ordered something from Amazon and they had a free 30 day trial of free 2 day shipping! The Diva cup is much cheaper on Amamzon too! I got mine for $40 at Whole Foods store, and have found them for $25 on Amamzon.com.

I found one on Amazon for $21 with free shipping. We were going to order SO's ring off of there too, but we have to wait and put money in the bank tomorrow.

Is it easy to put in? So the blood just sits in the cup until it gets full? Can you feel it? And how in the world would you have sex with one in??

once you get your fold down, it's as easy to put in as a tampon. The blood collects in the cup until you remove it and dump it in the toilet. Inserted properly you cannot feel it. You have to remove it prior to intercourse.

I'm considering one for myself too! I was reading the reviews.
This was the funny review I read on the Diva cup:

Oh my goodness I am so glad you posted that link. That has to be the funniest thing I have ever read. I was trying so hard not to laugh while SO was snoozing it up next to me.
I have ordered mine and look forward to adventuring with it next month. If I have difficulties I may message one of the ladies here that said they loved it.
Thanks again for the laugh!

I thought that was the BEST review ever! I am so tempted to get one....but the size seems intimidating to me. I did google images and they show pictures on a palm. I just don't know....
