I Love my Diva Cup

Did you know that tampons and pads have bleach in them? This is something that you do not want in your body. There are alternatives to using these products: you can use cloth pads, just buy or make a few of them and then put them in the washing machine between use. Or you can buy the Keeper or the Diva Cup. Both are alternatives to using tampons. They can stay in for up to 12 hours, less risk of Toxic Shock syndrome, better for the environment, costs way less in the long term. The keeper is $50-60 and the Diva cup is about $40. It's easy to incert and easy to remove (once you get used to it). Plus if you want to try it and find that you don't like it you can return it to the company within one year and get a full refund.
At first i was a little reluctant because i wasn't sure how convenient it would be and also i'm usually reluctant about things at first when they are going into my body. Also, at a previous time i tried a product called Instead, which is that same idea but is disposable, meant for one time use and much harder to use. Now that i'm using the Diva Cup i am much happier. It's easy, costs nothing compared to added costs of feminine hygiene products, and is actually more convenient than a tampon. When using the diva cup, it is really comfortable and feels just like a tampon.

Some other good things for you at that time of the month:
For cramps try using tea as a natural relief, either raspberry tea (which works wonders for me) or PMS tea, which i haven't actually tried yet.
Also taking evening primrose oil is good for a womans health in general.
