The DivaCup offers women convenience and peace of mind. Worn internally, it is positioned low in the vagina for a secure fit and easy removal. Designed to hold up to one full ounce, one can swim, run, backpack, travel and even wear it overnight without ever worrying about leaks.
The DivaCup comes in two models: 1, for women under 30 and women who have not given birth; and 2, for women over 30 or women who have given birth. The Model 1 cup is 1 11/16" (~4.3 cm) in diameter and the Model 2 cup is 1 13/16" (~4.6 cm) in diameter. This is the model 2 cup. It is important to use the right cup size to prevent leakage.
No More Hassle: Eliminates the need to spend time searching for a bathroom, hiding tampons or pads in pockets, or constantly worrying about leakage and unpleasant odors. It also works for light as well as heavy days, and there is no more guessing as to which kind of products to use on certain days or nights.
Convenient: With nothing extra to buy and nothing to throw away, it is convenient and worry-free.
Easy-To-Use: The most convenient way to deal with menstruation. It only requires emptying 2 to 4 times a day, depending on flow, and can be worn for an entire cycle up to 12 hours at a time, even overnight.
Design: The innovative design features easy-grip ridges, convenient flow measurements, and a soft, flexible stem for comfort and easy removal. Designed to hold one full ounce (30 ml), it is capable of accommodating even the heaviest flows (an entire average cycle is 3 to 4 ounces or 90 to 120 ml).
Toxic Shock Syndrome: The serious and sometimes fatal Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is caused by toxin-producing strains of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium and has been linked to the use of conventional, rayon-based tampons. The DivaCup is non-absorbent and and does not disturb the natural moisture level in the vagina. An increased risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is not associated with the use of menstrual cups.*
Eco-Friendly: In 1998, 7 billion tampons and 12 billion sanitary pads and their packaging were disposed into landfills and sewage systems in the U.S. alone. With landfill and pollution problems on the rise, The DivaCup is committed to reducing the serious eco-footprint of feminine hygiene.
The DivaCup is cleared for marketing by the FDA (USA) and currently holds a Health Canada medical device license.
