I looked it up on Google and found the DivaCup website and read everything I found there. Then I wanted a real person's review, and ended up on your blog. I read every DivaCup post, and I was convinced to try it. Here's my own review, which I'm emailing to the DivaCup ladies..http://www.adesiretogetcreative.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760825044953463690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-36808393090401700132010-02-24T15:06:47.800-08:002010-02-24T15:06:47.800-08:00Just catching up on blogs - this is great!

I liked the Diva cup because the "tail" has little grippers on it so it's easier to pull out. I've had it for three years now.

I wouldn't suggest it at all for someone with fibro or pcos that causes clotting or heavy flow. I love the concept but honestly the cup for me fills up in under an hour- often 45 minutes tops. After that it's going to start coming out on it's own and NO ONE wants that.

You don't need to empty it every few hours. Most women, even with heavy periods, can get away with emptying before they go to work and after. If you feel you HAVE to empty it at work you just dump it in the toilet and wipe it out with some tp, pop it back in. Simple, reusable, easy.
