The DivaCup is a small, internally-worn silicone cup that collects, rather than absorbs, your menstrual flow. It is inserted in the vagina and sits at the lower base of the vaginal canal. It is worn internally, but because it is soft and smooth, it cannot be felt nor will it leak when inserted properly.
The DivaCup is:
· Clean, convenient, reliable
· Safely worn for up to 12 hours
· Latex-free, hypoallergenic
· Economical: saves money each month
· Reusable: environmentally responsible
Model 1: For women under 30 years old who have never delivered vaginally or by caesarean section.
Model 2: For women over 30 years old and/or for women who have delivered vaginally or by caesarean section.
How do I wash Diva Cup?
Diva wash is recommended for cleaning the Diva Cup. Diva Wash is botanically-based, all natural cleanser that has been specifically designed to protect the integrity of the silicone material.
It is important to use only a natural, non-fragrance soap with Diva Cup. Many soaps leave a residue. These can leave a film on the cup that may cause irritation.
The DivaWash is:
- Naturally pH balanced
- Gentle: Ideal for sensitive skin
- Concentrated formula: reduces the eco-footprint
- 100% plant-based ingredients
- No animal testing or animal ingredients
- No parabens, sulfates or petrochemicals
Can be used daily as a facial cleanser or luxurious shower and bath gel. The gentle formula leaves your Diva body clean, soft and never dry.
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. Both cups are approximately 2 1/4" (~5.7 cm) in length in the body of the cup, with another 3/8" (~1 cm) stem (2 5/8" total length). The stem may be trimmed to adjust for comfort.
There is a small difference between the two sizes (Model 1 is 1/8" (~0.3 cm) smaller), but it is important to use the recommended sizing to prevent leakage.
We recommend Model 2 if you are 30 or over 30 years old, because as we age, our hips naturally widen and the vaginal muscles lose elasticity. Because the vaginal muscles hold The DivaCup in place, it is important to use Model 2 if you are over 30, even if you have not had childbirth.
