WARNING: Graphic and intended for ladies only!
The day before Mother's day, I got my first period after 3 1/2 years of nothing due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. I was ill-prepared and felt helpless as if it was literally my very first period. I finally found some pads around the house and remembered again how much I hate them and tampons. What to do? Enter menstrual cups! Here's a pic of the varieties available.
I ordered a Diva Cup (model 1) from iherb used the referral code KAS985 and my total came out to $15.49 (including shipping), which is at least 10 dollars cheaper than I can find any where else. I ordered it on Thursday and it arrived on Monday, so I'm a happy customer.
There's a nice community of cup users at Livejournal, menstrualcups.org. I even posted my first entry and received 3 responses from other ladies. It's really very cool.
Hence, I will catalog my personal experience with the Diva cup for my blog readers because this is the type of journalism you can expect from me.
