I am very curious and I am always searching for...anything! So I decided I wanted to try some cloth menstrual pads. Such nice colours and soft fabrics!As I was searching I discovered the menstrual cup! Never heard about it! Never even imagined that it could exist! The Greek translation is a little difficult! "Antitampon", "multiple use tampon"...
The menstrual cups first appeared 30 years ago in the US and Canada (where else?).
So, I found 4-5 companies. One of them, the DIVA CUP from Canada accepted to send me a sample to use and write about it and one more for one of you! (Of'course I did not got paid for the testing nad reviewing!)
First impression, when I opened the envelope: all this much? My sister's reaction was: "Are you crazy? You are really going to put all this ..."inside"?"
So the perfect time to use the menstrual cup, came! I had washed it in some warm water and a little bit of white vinegar and I have washed my hands really-really well! Of'course I have memorised the instructions! I sat on the toilet, Ι folded it in half and pushed it in my "interior"! I cleaned the "details" and got up.
So, girls, if you want to buy one try an e-shop from the Store Finder or form the Buy Now-page of the company. On the DIVA CUP webpage you can find isntructions and answers to all of your questions!
Since I would love to have someone else to test it with, you can win one DIVA menstrual cup right here, through the Rufflecopter:

The truth is that I am so curiοus (as already mentioned) that I could not stop myself from using it!
I did not dare to cut the "steam" as I was supposed to! I was fealing it a little bit so I was going to cut it as soon as possible!
After one hour I got it off. There was some leakage but maybe they were the "leftovers". I am sure that it was not pushed as much inside as possible! So, I touch the steam and pinch the cup.
Oh no, it is stuck!!!!
Wait, I have to pinch a little bit more, so that there will be enough air through the little holes on the top! It makes a ...noise and it gets out! There where lots of liquids inside! But I did not like the liquids on my hand! The all experience was so much easier than expected!
Second time was so much better! I cut the steam and made sure that I pushed the cup much more inside! This time things where so much better. Only a few leakage and I did not feal it as much as the first time!
I was only going to try it a) when at home, b) when I had lots of menstruals and c) when my sweet little girl would leave me alone...So I did not had lot of chances to use it again! I think that next month things will be so mush easier!
