Diva Cup

Have you ever used a Diva Cup? I have a few friends who swear by it, so I decided to give it a try and bought one tonight. I swear, I’m turning more granola by the minute over here. I’m looking forward to not having to change every few hours… and not having any more messy leaks! Sorry if that’s TMI, guys. Just like I told my 10 year old, though, it’s only natural.
Speaking of the 10 year old, he came with me to Whole Foods where I bought the Cup, and got himself a little education in the process. I’m pretty open with the kids, and I’m not embarrassed to talk about bodily functions or sex with them. He asked how the cup worked, so I told him. He seemed okay enough with it until I put the package in the cart. His eyes popped out of his head and was speechless for a moment. When he regained his composure, he said, “THAT is going to…. never mind. You are crazy.” Hahaha! When we got home, I had to pee really bad, so I was running to the bathroom and he yelled out, “Don’t forget your DIVA CUP!” Love that kid.
ROFL!!! That is so funny!!! I swear just in the past few months, Chase has turned especially funny. He says the funniest things, that crack me up! Maybe it’s the age. I’m the same way with the kids too. I’m totally open and honest about everything. I was LOL at you turning more granola by the minute. Ha!
haha, man kids say the best things!
I LOVE my Diva Cup. I absolutely hated it for the first three months, though. I figured that if I spent 40 bucks on it, I’m sure as heck going to get my money out of it — good thing, too. It took about 5 cycles before I was fully comfortable with it.
Ps. Use a pad the first few times haha… One mistake, I won’t soon forget -_-
5 cycles? Ack! I don’t know if I’d last that long if it didn’t work for me.
OMG I am cracking up that you bought a Diva Cup!! I always wondered about those. You are so granola - next thing I know you’ll be wanting to borrow my Thai fisherman pants (which I learned about from my totally granola friend).

I just got a diva cup too..and I love it already. The best is that it isn’t leaky and I don’t have to go running to the potty every 45 minutes. But I have to say that the snap when it pops open inside is quite…bracing in the morning.
It’s great that you’re so open with your kid. I hate it when guys are all fainting and squeamish over menstrual things.
HA! I found out this past weekend, my son thought women got their period once a year, in the spring….I said, “we have to talk”…so we did.
