Diva Cup continued!

Sorry about withholding updates about the Diva Cup!  Here is the promised review of my time using the Diva Cup......better late than never?

I have been using the Diva Cup during the day while on my period.  At night, I still prefer to use an overnight pad.....for some reason, my flow is a lot lighter when I am sleeping so I can do this comfortably.

Conclusion?  I LOVE MY CUP!  We recently went to an all day music festival and I had just started my period the night before.  This was going to be the ultimate test.  In my bag I had an extra pair of panties, tampons, and pads in a ziplock baggie just in case this failed.

I'm happy to say that with my moderate/heavy flow, I was able to wear the diva cup from 11am until 11pm without emptying it once and with no spotting or leaking!  It was amazing!  I went to the restroom several times during the day to check for any signs of leaking or overflow and was good to go all day.

While it does take a while to get used to dumping it and cleaning it, once you do it really is pretty darn nice.  The intial ick factor was easy to get over once I realized how nice it is not to change tampons every 4-6 hours.

So, my vote is Diva Cup is amazing!  Let me know if you have any questions or feel free to add your input/thoughts/experiences/whatever!

Waiting

 So, I'm still waiting for my stupid period to show up.  I don't think I've ever been excited to see that start!  This Diva Cup thing is really interesting to me, and I can't wait to share the details with my friends on the interwebs!  And I am trying to figure out a way to share more details than just typing and a few photos, without crossing any ick or porn lines.  Let me know if you have any ideas.....


And, not only am I waiting for my period, I'm also waiting for my last two weeks at my hell-hole of a job to come to an end!  I have not been happy for quite a while and the doctor told me that many of my depression and physical issues are stemming from not being happy at work.  So, I took the bull by the balls and put my two weeks in!  I have some time before I start my new job, which will be much more social and less physically demanding, but I'm sooooo excited!  I really didn't mind my job duties, I just cannot stand the bickering/lack of leadership/snarky comments/backstabbing/etc that would go on at my job.  I know you don't always love your job, but you should dread going to work every day simply because of your co-workers, either.

I do have some great posts in the works......just trying to word them right.  It's so easy to tell my friends these stories, but when it comes to actually writing this shit down and having it make sense.......
