I also really enjoy that I usually only have to attend to it 2, maybe 3, times per day. Sure, the process of using a DivaCup might be a bit more invasive than tampons, but the peace of mind I receive is more than enough to outweigh that negative. In fact, I know that if I’m on a long, long trip, or traveling in the countryside with lame toilet facilities, I am still going to be OK. Instead, with my cup, I barely have to worry. For me, it just takes a lot of worry out of that time of the month – mainly because with tampons, I always fear leakage. I’ve now had a couple of cycles with the Divacup, and I’m just so happy to have this little item in my arsenal again. But, when I started thinking about longer-term travel again, I wanted a cup – which is where DivaCup came in. Blame it on me being lazy, but I just never got around to ordering a new one, and instead explored the world of Australian tampons, which was fine.

I loved the menstrual cup and used it for several years until I one month misplaced the cup. Before setting off on my extended travels, I wanted something that made sense to the pack snob within – the one that didn’t like the idea of stock-piling tampons (I had studied abroad in Italy in college and was never happy with my tampon selection in that country) and one who was just curious as to whether or not the menstrual cup would work better for me.Īnd it did. See, back in the day, I used another brand of menstrual cup.
