Tired of spending too much money on products such as pads and tampons when it’s that “time of the month?” Well, there is a new alternative method that saves you money and keeps you clean while on your period. This new alternative method is called the “Diva Cup.” The Diva Cup is a reusable bell-shaped menstrual cup that offers up to twelve hours of leak-free protection, is easy to use, and saves you money. Unlike tampons and pads, the Diva Cup collects the menstrual fluid rather than absorbs it. It comes in two model sizes (1&2) and is made of 100% healthcare grade silicone, makes your period so much more tolerable. No more hiding a tampon up your sleeve, no more worries about leaks through the night, the Diva Cup is here to revolutionize your period!

In my personal experience, I was definitely impressed by how the product followed through with what it claimed to do on the packaging. It was a bit terrifying for me to try it out at first but, hey, you never know until you try, right? I realized how much easier it is to deal with your period by using a Diva Cup (I tried model 1). It definitely saves you money, it is less time-consuming, less gross, leak-free for sure; it is also environmentally friendly. I recommend this product if you are open to trying something new, want to save some money, and want to feel cleaner during your period. You will not regret it!
