Oh my gods!! it was so easy, so simple, and completely effortless!!!
I just got my period today- am I weird that I've been looking forward to getting my period just so that I can use my new DIVA cup?!?
I got the kids settled watching a movie, locked my self into the bathroom and read the direction s (for the 10th time) and then took a deep breath......
but it was so easy!!!!!!! 
...why has it taken me so long to try this?!?

I felt the same way when I got my DC! The first time I was really ever excited to get my period...LOL
I was soooo impressed that I recommend the Diva Cup to all the ladies I know. For me the best perk is that it cuts back SOOO much on the cramps I used to get wearing tampons.

No not weird. I remember waiting for my period in excitement when I got my Diva. I love it too. So much better than tampons.

I've had mine for two years and I still love it.
I'd noticed that my cramps were different but assumed it's because I'm getting OLD. Is it really because I stopped using tampons? How cool is that? Unfortunately I am still getting old. ha ha

"Unfortunately I am still getting old. ha ha"
ROFL!!!
Yeah I actually heard about the Diva Cup while complaining about the awful cramps I got wearing tampons and how much I hated pads. Good thing someone was listening and suggested the Diva Cup.
See...b!tching and moaning CAN be a good thing:)

I have had my diva cup for a couple of months...still in the box... I haven't been able to bring myself to use it. I hate tampons and tried something called Instead years ago, which I also hated.

If you do decide to use this, there's usually coupon codes floating around some other forums I frequent - PM me and I'll see if I can find you one. I got mine there for $16.01USD shipped.
