DivaCup

Did you know that many tampon wrappers and pads contain plastic and can take up to 500 years to decompose? Are you looking for a way to "green" your period? To help reduce your waste and chemicals entering your body?

Allow us to introduce you to the DivaCup!

The DivaCup is a menstrual cup, an ecofriendly and reusable way to reduce your waste each month when Aunt Flo comes knocking.  Ideal for women of all ages and the active lifestyle (running, yoga, swimming, traveling, camping etc.) The DivaCup conveniently fits into your life; not the other way around. And because it is reusable, you don’t need to worry about carrying around extra product - better for women’s health and the environment.

Non-absorbent, the DivaCup may reduce your risk of dangerous infections such as Toxic Shock Syndrome when compared to tampons. Best of all, the DivaCup may be worn for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow, meaning you can have a great night of sleep without the worry. The DivaCup menstrual cup is great for:

• Beach trips
• Camping
• School
• Work
• Swimming
• Yoga
• Hiking
• And more!

Ready to give it a try? Fantastic news! Here's some guidelines to help you pick the size that's right for you:

Model 1: For women under 30 years old who have never delivered vaginally or by caesarean section. Model 1 cup is 1 11/16" (~4.3 cm) in diameter and approximately 2 1/4" (~5.7 cm) in length in the body of the cup, with another 3/8" (~1 cm) stem (2 5/8" total length).
   
Model 2: For women over 30 years old and/or for women who have delivered vaginally or by caesarean section. Model 2 cup is 1 13/16" (~4.6 cm) in diameter and approximately 2 1/4" (~5.7 cm) in length in the body of the cup, with another 3/8" (~1 cm) stem (2 5/8" total length). As the vaginal muscles hold The DivaCup in place and these naturally lose elasticity as we age, it is important to use Model 2 if you are over 30, even if you have not had childbirth.
