Let me start by saying thank you so much for creating such an amazing and environmentally-responsible product like the DivaCup. I truly adore the idea of reducing the waste associated with my period to 0%. Also, it is a pure joy to know that I am a part of a movement that helps women from all over the world feel liberated and confident even during that time of the month.
I had never heard about menstrual cups before and was hoping there would be a more progressive alternative to our traditional “ammunition” for a period. After thorough research, my husband announced that he found a great alternative called The DivaCup and that I should look into it. I need to admit that I was very skeptical when I first heard about it. It took me some time to read the website, testimonials, and to watch a bunch of videos from those already using the DivaCup. I found out how it has influenced and made a positive change in the lives of so many women.
So, I first got the DivaCup a little more than a month ago, right before my husband and I went on a 1-month adventure to Thailand. To be honest with you, this backpacking trip was the main reason why I decided to finally purchase the DivaCup. I realized that if I wanted to enjoy swimming in the crystal waters, hiking picturesque trails, and feeling 100% confident on this trip, I needed to get the DivaCup. Packing for the trip, I was so confident in the Diva Cup, that I even took my white bikini, imagining how I would rock it especially during “that time of the month”!
I felt so excited to have a worry-free and leak-free period for the first time in my life. And so when the time came and I started using the DivaCup, it was an amazing experience. I also finally could relate to those girls saying that they don’t feel it. I was ready for my life to be changed once and for all. Of course, it took me a couple of tries to get used to it and the whole process of inserting and removing the DivaCup; however, shortly after I mastered it, I came to the conclusion that it was the best investment I had ever made.
The only issue I had with the DivaCup was that I lost it during my trip in Thailand. My husband and I were rushing to catch the 6AM ferry to the next destination of our trip, and unfortunately I didn’t have the DivaCup with me. I had such bad cramps on that day, so I could barely remember how we made it to the pier and on the ferry. It was only half way through the ferry ride that I discovered I hadn’t packed the the DivaCup. I felt so devastated and disappointed, and not only because I had forgotten my cup, but also because I had to deal with my period without it for the next 5 days. It wasn’t the most pleasant experience to go back to traditional methods like pads and tampons after trying and knowing that there is a better alternative.
I look forward to continue using this amazing invention and I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.
Join this amazing movement today!
