Spring has sprung. The flowers are out. The sun is starting to shine again. It’s a time of rejuvenation, renewal, rebirth, and anything that really starts with “re.” Hey, speaking of birth, let’s talk about menstruation. 

 

Okay, this isn’t just a Spring Quarter essential, this is an every month essential for anyone who has a uterus. Introducing the DivaCup.

 

What is the DivaCup?

The DivaCup is a reusable menstrual cup made of semi-flexible medical-grade silicone. This handy dandy period pal is an eco-friendly, environmentally-conscious alternative to tampons or pads and catches period flow leak-free!

 

The DivaCup is:

Reusable (up to 1 year), economical, and eco-friendly (Fact: 1 DivaCup replaces 240 disposable menstrual products and approx. 250- 350 pounds of disposable waste in a lifetime) 

Wearable for up to 12 hours at a time 

100% medical grade silicone, with no added chemicals (no BPA), latex, dyes or plastics 

Ultra-hygienic, comfortable, convenient and made in Canada

Please ensure you read the User Guide prior to use (comes in DivaCup box) 

 

It comes in 3 model sizes:

Model 0 is for those under 18

Model 1 is for those who are under 30 and have a medium menstrual flow

Model 2 is for those who are over 30 and/or have a heavier menstrual flow
