The DivaCup is worn low at the base of the vagina and away from the cervix, which means that it should not interfere with an internal birth control device. However, please use caution when using any internal menstrual care product with an IUD, as there is the possibility that the IUD can be dislodged, depending on how recently your IUD was implanted. As with any gynecological concerns, please consult with your health care provider prior to using any kind of internal menstrual care product, including a menstrual cup. This is very much a personal preference. Many people find reusables more comfortable than disposable products – no squeaky, expanded pads or tampons that dry you out. They can be good options for overnight wear and lighter days, or when you think your period might start soon. Relax. Use your pelvic floor muscles to push down until you can get a firm grip on the stem of the cup.Is reusable for up to a year and is more earth-friendly(replacing about 528 tampons per person per year!) Her cup was met with resistance from the public. Perhaps ahead of its time, the idea was shelved due to the rise in the popularity of disposables and the invention of the applicator tampon. While period pants and menstrual cups are the most widely available options, there are also an increasing number of alternatives around, such as products that simply mimic the classic disposable option but are designed for re-use.

Su first came across a menstrual cup when she was travelling around Australia in 2000 and started to import and distribute it to friends and friends of friends when she came home to the UK. But discovering that some had a reaction to the latex in this rubber cup, she researched hypoallergenic alternatives and invented the world’s first reusable, medical grade silicone menstrual cup, trademarked as the Mooncup® in the spring of 2002. Just like disposable pads, if your periods are really heavy, or you leave the pad on for too long then it’s possible you may leak a little. However cloth pads come in a range of sizes and absorbencies so you can choose a design to suit your body’s needs. Help the cup pop openby pinching, twisting, running your finger along the base, or very gently grabbing the stem. I believe that applicators can fill a gap in the physical accessibility of menstrual cups and what can be a difficult insertion process for some. I also believe the necessity of applicators for the general public is up for debate. Here are some of my thoughts as they pertain to the average cup user. People choose to use organic menstrual products because they don’t want chemicals and plastic close to their skin, in an absorbent area of their body.

Plastic-free periods

Reusable products are bought once and then should last for between 3-10 years, meaning you don’t have to nip to the shops every month! Reduces waste (51%)*' Definitely SO much better for the environment. This is my main reason for using, but I found there is a learning curve' Most brands have at least two sizes, one that's a bit smaller for users who are under 30 and have not given birth vaginally, and one that's slightly larger for those who have given birth vaginally, or are over 30. Some brands offer a specific smaller teen size, too. Most cups come in 2 sizes: a smaller one suitable for those aged under 30 who have never given vaginal birth, or a larger one suitable for those over 30, or those who have given vaginal birth. Some brands also have various sizes that suit differences in pelvic floor strength, cervix height and menstrual flow. Menstrual cups are documented as having a steep learning curve, however, and are difficult even for able-bodied people to insert and remove. Our applicator simplifies the insertion and removal process with the goal of making menstrual cups accessible to a wider demographic.

Menstrual cups are worn internally, by folding and inserting the cup in a similar way to a tampon. Instead of absorbing your blood, like a tampon or pad, the cup catches it and you can empty it down the toilet. Menstrual cups hold more blood than your average tampon so you shouldn’t need to empty it as regularly as you would change a tampon. The DAME reusable applicator is designed to be easy and intuitive.

There is no set amount for the number of pads you need but we would recommend starting with around 5 if this is your primary period care. You can also wash your pads part way through your cycle, which will cut down on the number of pads you’ll need to get through a period. If you’re out and about and won’t have access to washing facilities for a while, most brands recommend that pads are rinsed in cold water and then stored in a wetbag until you’re ready to wash them.

If you can’t reach your cup after you insert it, take a deep breath! Your cup can’t get lost inside your vagina or up inside your body. Gently bear down like you’re having a bowel movement (but do not strain) and use the stem as a guide to find the base of your cup. Before removing your cup, wash your hands with water and fragrance-free, mild soap. Then, relax your muscles and locate the base of your cup. If you cannot reach it, gently push like you’re having a bowel movement (bear down, but don’t strain) and use the stem as a guide until you can reach the base of your cup. This isn't always the most practical option, but as the cups have become more popular a range of dedicated menstrual cup accessories have emerged, including small portable sterilising steamers.

More specifically, plastic tampon applicators can take more than 20 years to break down in marine environments. They can therefore be ingested by animals and cause health complications or death.
