The Diva Cup has been circulating since 2007, but the idea of a menstrual cup started eons before - in the '30s! I figured it was worth a shot to try. The cup is made of silicone, costs only about $40 and lasts a lifetime, so I bought it. It will save be so much coin - even though I always buy my pads and tampons on sale.
Without getting too graphic - it's very comfortable. Kinda tricky to put in the first time, but once you get it, it's easy. The funny part about purchasing this thing is that there are two sizes to pick from:
1 for ladies under 30
2 for ladies 30 and over.
I'm going to be 30 in a little over two months, so I was a bit conflicted about which to buy. Apparently our hips widen as we age, so our vaginal muscles are looser... But, again, to avoid getting too graphic, if you do your kegels often like I do, you will require size 1. And even that seems too big, but I sqwooshed it in. You know, to get technical.
Most girls get pissy on their period, but I am going to start packing today. Woohoo! So excited! Three more weeks until I get outta there! I am handing in an application today for a gorgeous one bedroom several blocks from where I live currently. Fingers crossed I get the place. I am already thinking about how to decorate. Very jacked.
Also jacked coz I get to go white water rafting the week before I move. What a way to let off steam! Haven't been to the gym in a bit since I've been fighting off the last bit of the flu. So I better get back in and give my tri's and shoulders a good work at it.
And this weekend is Mother's Day. Aww. Gonna see my momma and give her something sparkly. Looking forward to giggles over wine. :)
