DivaCup Menstrual Cup Review

My issue with the Diva Cup was something you mentioned as a pro - the rigid base. I was virtually impossible for me to remove it. I ended up switching to a Luna Cup which is less rigid. Thanks for making these videos!

[@mssparkie81]

This is my first period using a cup and I'm in love. I have a BodyBay cup and have zero problems. I watched all of your videos and they have helped a lot. Thank you!

[@Carmen-ol1db]

Recently luckily for young people there is now another size 0 smaller diva cup for people under 20 it’s thinner and a bit shorter too so it works great

[@Charlie-jo8zt]

There's also a Diva cup model 0 for 18 under, though it is pricier and less common and heard of

[@jwbirdlover]

This was the first one I ever heard of,and still the only one I see in stores.. but I tried a Skoon, was ok, then a femmycycle, out of curiosity and another's review, and I'm hooked on cups!!! Th a n you ladies for all the info it definitely helped me! Cups are definitely period life changing!!!

[@shelleypicott3239]

Turn it inside out....I will give it a try in a little while and thanks for that tip. Trying it again.

[@AnimeCreep141]

I have a very high cervix so the diva cup is perfect for me

[@lifewithamberb]

One tip. I use a straw cleaner to clean the holes on my lunettes. That worked really well.

[@artsumeshae]

Could we get a how to video on taking them out? I had a lot of anxiety with trying to take out my cup, after hours of struggling I finally got it out! Haha so are there any better methods to help get it out?

[@ruraljuror1734]

A'shaela Sounds a bit gross, but I find that the best removal method is to take a deep breath (to relax your body) and do the “poop flex.” Just bear down (like you’re having a bm) for a second as you remove it. Works like a charm! Best of luck, girl!

[@spidermiss2426]

My first cup was the MeLuna-- specifically, the MeLuna Shorty medium. I bought a Diva after that just to compare, and MeLuna shorty was perfect for me-- the Diva was wayyy to long for me. Even my gynecologist says I have an unusually short cervix. The diva is just way too long for me.

[@ladyjessica23]

THANK YOU for the tip about turning the Diva Cup inside out! I just happened to get my period one day after watching this and there's no leaking! I have a tilted cervix and I just accepted leaking as a part of using a cup (I use period underwear with it). But now, it's so much easier to put in and no leaking at all

[@PutACupInIt]

Woo Hoo!

[@toxe1717]

I've used the diva cup for about 2 years now with no problem (once i figured out the learning curve). But im realizing that it hurts when im taking it out.. Can't figure out how to remove the pressure of the seal correctly, i feel like its pulling at my insides. I don't know if i should change technique or change cup? can you help me out? Thanks

[@rebekahbrielle]

This is four months late but first try changing your technique. Make sure you pinch the base of the cup to break the suction that it creates. Once that seal is broken it should not feel like you are pulling your insides out (ouch!). If pinching the base doesn't work, you can also try pinching a little higher up on the cup to see if that does the trick. One more trick, if you feel comfortable, insert your finger up inside your vagina along the side of the cup and press gently to help break the suction. Then from there carefully remove. Hopefully this helps you! If all else fails, try another brand of cup :)

[@yukky7879]

can you make one reviewing video about the organicup?

[@brittneysellers8643]

You guys need to review the fun cup by fun factory! Just got mine today and loving it so far! Love watching you guys!

[@PutACupInIt]

We are both trying this new cup out, was using yesterday actually. How does this one compare to others you've tried? For me I'm struggling to get it open since the body is soft which is always an issue with my vagina+soft cups. -K

[@brittneysellers8643]

Put A Cup In It well this is only the second cup I've ever tried. The first one I bought was one I saw advertised on FB. It piqued my curiosity and I was like "yeah! I wanna try putting this in my vagina!" lol 😂 the brand is Aneer, SUPER soft!! My muscles completely squish it, but it doesn't leak. When I saw fun factory made a cup I was like 😲... Got to have it! I know how high quality the toys are. I got the A size and I don't have any issues with it opening. I don't feel a "pop" but I'm pretty sure it's open. Are you using the A or B? From the videos I've watched the B is much softer than the A Cup.

[@vip5hawol-deehirota]

Came here after trying their size 1 and experiencing discomfort. Glad it's not just me haha I put in an order for their teen size, so I'm hoping it'll be a good improvement

[@lolarayes5845]

I am super late to this conversation but the same happened to me. I was 20 years old and had no kids when I bought model 1 and I just couldn't get it in. Then I tried model 0 which is supposed to be for young girls and it got in and works. They really need to do better classification of which size is best. Using age, and pregnancy as the sole determinants of size is inappropriate.

[@aprilhinds1827]

You guys should do a review of the Ruby Cup. I'm using it for the first time RN and I'm really liking it!

[@PutACupInIt]

We actually haven't had the chance to try this brand, the one we have we have kept for demo so that we can show it to others when we do in person education. Bummer!

Cats, and menstrual cups. I love it

[@melissalabelle9357]

im fairly new to cups and the diva cup gives me a hard time ALL the time. it never opens right and its just too long for me. it blew my mind when you suggested flipping it inside out which is something that totally never occurred to me lol it feel not allowed

[@KenadieWasHere]

I stopped using the diva cup because after a couple of months my bladder or pelvic area hurt so bad but once I stopped using it I had no problems after that and now I am terrified to buy another one cause they are expensive and I don’t really know what to get

[@uschilou]

Ooo the lady cup looks cool! I need a smaller cup. I have a lena small but my flow is so light I would prefer something smaller. Only issue is my high cervix.

[@kiriehimuro9185]

Diva cup is the first cup I’ve ever used. I bleed through a pad and super tampon overnight while traveling from NC to CA. After I cut the tail, it was perfect. My only problem was that it pressed too hard against my bladder, making me feel like I had to pee 24/7.

[@alybaby9144]

Try the Tampax cup, their SoftCurve keeps the cup off your bladder, ANDD the rim is wider, making it less likely to leak

[@TheOriginalNaski]

VERY HELPFUL!!! Thank you ladies!

[@amyshannon7195]

I have the floweret cup and I find that it is too short and I have to bear down a lot to get my cup out so I might try this one

[@ladycrab4924]

The Diva cup was my very first cup, it was okay, but I wasn't really comfortable at the idea of using it every time I had my period. Then I tried Moon cup and: oh my. The Diva cup is truly rigid! The Moon cup instead is more soft and I finally decided to use it more.

[@brittanykeith9551]

I love the Diva cup, but honestly I wish it was a little longer. Sometimes I have a really hard time reaching it to remove it.

[@SamanthaDiane]

This is helpful, like you said, for a baseline. The diva cup was WAY too firm for me and made my unbearable cramps even more unbearable. I switched to the si-bell cup and it's perfect for me.

[@kweenjade01]

2:58 not new to cups but I'm experiencing this as my walls are very tight. I'm pretty active as well so if its not suctioned properly😢 3:24 hate when that happens 3:29 I've tried several cups and i think I'm gonna buy this one next 3:39 firmness is clearly what I've been lacking. 3:53 yep. Facts. 4:32 good to hear 4:44 even better lol

[@loganw5060]

The first day of my period my diva cup rides a little low. I can almost feel it when I think about it. Every other day of my period I have to bear down with my muscles to be able to reach it. I thinking of switching to a lily cup for my higher days, and using be diva cup for my lower days. The only think worried about the lily cup, is I’m worried that since it’s softer I’ll have issues adjusting to it.

[@PutACupInIt]

It is softer but it has a firm spine that is suppose to help with opening

[@loganw5060]

Put A Cup In It thank you! I’ll have to give it a try

[@beleezean]

Hi I'm new to this I started last 3 cycles with Saalt PKG. That has both sizes. Now I tried the regular & I had leakage & it was practically lost inside me? I'm over 40 had 2 C-Sections with very heavy flow 2nd day & the large one is just hard to put in? So I'm waiting for Diva cup#1 bc I'm wondering if it means that my cervix is long since the ssalt cup both were so high in? Could a cup go up & above a cervix?

[@mickeythompson6889]

For someone thinking on getting and trying a cup what would you guys suggest diva or tampax?

[@emaresea]

I'm new to menstrual cups and I have a very high cervix. I tried the Diva cup but it was too short for me (my fingertips just barely brushed the tip of the stem and I had to strain for an hour to get a grip on it enough to pull it down and reach the base). Which cup would you recommend I try?

[@sarahpetersen6576]

Cuboid Siren I’m the same way! I’m going to order a Lily Cup size B and try it out. It’s a much longer cup so hopefully I won’t have to strain for an hour to get it out.

[@jennanlee2643]

Same here 🌸

[@aprilvscott4787]

Can I ask since the vaginal canal gets wider near the cervix, will placing the cup too high cause leaking?

[@deannasueekman8672]

Doesn't trimming a hollow stem leave a hole in the bottom of the cup that leaks?

[@meganfeelsmotivated6451]

the diva cup is my goldilocks! (once the stem is cut off lol)😍😍

[@Bailster]

Can I ask a TMI question? I know it’s best to measure your cervix when you’re on your period so you know. BUT.....do you have to measure your cervix throughout your cycle (and EACH cycle) to keep track of where it’s at? I’m typically high. But sometimes it surprises me.... I can’t usually tell unless something weird happens with my cup - but I also don’t want the mission of having to check super frequently so I know what cup to use/replace (I have 3 that I alternate with). Is there an easier way to know or feel the pattern of your cervix so you can just auto-adjust throughout your cycle? Or is it simply necessary to keep checking? Probably a weird question and not sure I asked it in a way that makes sense, but any insight would be lovely!!!

[@Bailster]

Jerrika Funny you should ask! I’ve been using the DOT & SAALT Soft which I LOVE in terms of “insertion” & comfort! But after I posted this, my research remained intense and I kept hearing people SWEAR by Lunette..... So, I gave it a try. Obviously even though I’ve never been pregnant....I am 36 and as mentioned - have a high cervix TYPICALLY - so went with the large... GIRLS. If ANYONE is facing the same issue as me - LUNETTE is your girl!!!! I realize cups fit everyone differently - so totally respect that! My budget is tight myself - but I spent the same monthly on tampons & pads that ONE cup would cost - so for me, especially now that I have a few to switch between now - trying out a few to learn what works is key. For me - YES - Lunette is absolutely my GOLDILOCKS cup for sure!!! HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!! My new cup obsession and interest still has me interested to try out a few more - but I’m not sure I will just yet because truly.....Lunette has absolutely been what I reach for! Everything is perfect with Lunette (for me). Inserts great, pops open super easy and stays. Long enough yet not too wide that it both sits great and is totally comfortable. It’s also been INSANELY easy to remove (with the good standby “push” and tease method). For having a high cervix (and low sometimes), this seems to work ALWAYS and is easy and reliable in every way! Thanks for the recommendation. And yes, I’ve tried it - clearly. LOL. It’s definitely the way to go! Bah could be much improved - but that’s an easy switch. ☺️

[@ippybee7228]

Could you make a video about the diva cup 0 and do you have any reviews on the juju cups?

[@soumya941]

At what age teenagers can start using cups?

[@whatrtheodds]

I like the length of diva cup model 1.

[@freemandiaz5123]

I think it was Diva that offered a keychain. I was going to carry one around to advertise until I found out it was full size! I'm a supportive husband and wanted to spread the word, but that was a bit much.

[@Kylwyn]

Hmm, I was thinking about a new cup for variety and because I HATE how badly it stains (makes it hard to show off as I try to convert every menstruating female I know) but seems your con is a pro for me; on my low cervix days it's fine and on high days I have to go hunting for it. Cervix height = really important to cup choice.

[@PutACupInIt]

Of course it's going to depend on your cervix height. We recommend Diva to lots of people but only those who know their cervix is a bit higher than average. otherwise it is too long.

[@mariali8159]

Can you please compare the Diva cup to the Lily cup in terms of ease of opening and ease of removal?

[@PutACupInIt]

It's going to be different for every person which is why reviews are difficult. What opens easily for me may not open at all for another person. You can compare their firmness on our chart: putacupinit.com/firmness

[@tinathompson1129]

Also my first cup. Still have it.

[@carol-annemartinalolafrase8473]

I just got a divacup been practicing taking it in and out so I'm ready for my period June 18th 19th

[@lblincoe2094]

I'm not new to periods but, having an IUD for 8 years, I'm new to cups. My first and only cup is a Diva, and even though I'm over 30 and have 4 kids, I went ahead and got the smallest size and it's STILL too long for me. I cut the stem and it's still literally hanging out of my body. I was really disappointed that cups apparently weren't going to work for me, but it's encouraging to find out this brand just has a longer design. Any suggestions for a low cervix/short canal that I might look into?

[@PutACupInIt]

Have a look at our video about measuring your cervix and then check out our chart to sort by length and use what you know about the length of the Diva Cup (like how much you feel like it pokes out, if it fits fine otherwise and doesn't leak the diameter is probably fine, etc.) putacupinit.com/chart

[@PutACupInIt]

Oh, and before you buy a new one, try flipping it inside out to see if that shortens it enough to be comfortable. It does for some!

[@CL-ys5np]

Does it being long cause discomfort? What other negative effects does the lenght cause?

[@PutACupInIt]

Only if your cervix is short/low. Otherwise it's totally fine to use as long as it fits inside. Trimming the stem or flipping inside out may help with any discomfort.

[@tinathompson1129]

I had a hard time deciding on size because I am 30 but was told my cervix is tilted

How does a cup affect the hymen? I’m soo scared to use it

[@vincentcole5706]

it doesn’t affect it at all. the hymen surrounds the vaginal canal rather then being over it, which is what most people think. youngwomenshealth.org/2013/07/10/hymens/ is a website that explains it well. best of luck!

i got the diva cup for my first cup because it's available in most drugstores! i loved when i had it in because i couldn't feel it at all and it honestly made me forget i was on my period! truly a life changing experience! my issue with it however is that i found the rim to bulky/stiff so insertion and removal was really painful most of the time for me like you mentioned in the video. this ultimately made me stop using the cup and i miss it but i could no longer deal with the pain :( im looking into getting a Lily cup bc they are rimless and look like they roll up a lot smaller!

[@maddydickens7554]

Hi I know I’m late but can I ask how high your cervix is? I’m debating between a diva cup 0 (or 1) or a lily cup original. The diva cup is shorter so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to reach it
