Real embarrassing question

[doc]

How often you empty the diva depends on your flow. You definitely DON'T have to take it out everytime you go to the bathroom. On regular days I take it out in the shower in the morning, and before I go to bed. That's it. The shower is the best, no mess. On heavy flow days, I take it out only once more in the middle of the day.
The only downside is if you change it in a public restroom without a sink in the stall, you can have a bit of a mess on your hands (literally). The trick I learned here on TE (I think the credit goes to MightyM) is if you are in a public restroom without a sink in the stall, take it out and pee on it to wash the blood off it and your fingers. Then put it back. Remember, urine is sterile unless you are sick. (In certain african countries they bathe babies in cow urine because it's far cleaner than their water. But I digress.)
So one of the many great things about it is you change it quite infrequently. Much less often than tampons.
You're going to love it.

There is a big Q & A section on the diva website www.divacup.com It has a lot of good info. I disagree with only one thing. They say to wipe it off with toilet paper if you're in a public stall. Ick. It sticks and makes a mess. You're better off just emptying it and reinserting it as is. You will spot a little if you do that so be ready.
