Diva Cup

[TahoeDirtGirl]

No definately not a prolapsed problem. I never had kids and I always have problems during my annual exam (which I am happy to say, is no longer every 3 months as it has been for 5 years). I think I'm going to see if the good peeps at Diva can help me out, I emailed them, and see if I can get a model 1 to try out. Between the stress with my work and my personal life (aka divorce) I think the twink is just not happy about the diva. I thought about this as my gyn is always going...are you going to relax? And then it's "oh sorry..." Haha...Ah the Diva...it worked so well.

Sorry to interupt your conve, Tahoe and Miranda




Mine broke last month - the little stem just snapped off
That happen to anyone else?

RR-

I've not had that happen - that stinks! I'd email the company and see if they'll replace it - IMO they should. That really shouldn't happen.

I think you could still use it if the tip broke off unless well...there isn't a bottom to it now.

I wore it the rest of the weekend and I think its adjusting. The benefit for me outweighs the cramping curve if you will. I tend to agree on the spinning thing, it's a little hard to do...

I seem to remember reading that a lot of people cut the tip off, so unless there is a tear in the cup part, I would think it'd be okay to use.

I've been using the Diva for 3 months. No cramping for me, thank goodness. That could be a dealbreaker for sure. I've pretty well gotten the hang of using it by now, and I love the freedom it gives me.

You know, it never occured to me to try and use it without - I just tossed it

However, I doubt it would have been useful stemless for me - my muscles snugged so tight around it that sometimes it would be difficult to find the stem... I'd hate to be messing around (LOL, literally) trying to find/grab the cup with no stem at all...

CA... hadn't occured to me to email the supplier and/or the manufacturor... I'll do that anyways I think. Thanks for the suggestion

Has anybody else noticed that the website for the Diva Cup now suggests you replace the cup yearly?!?! That seems really strange to me (and somewhat contrary to their "cost savings" argument). Any good reason to replace it? Mine is now several years old, but doesn't get used that often since I only have 2-3 periods a year (on my Dr.'s orders, I take my birth control pills continuously).
