Ode to my DivaCup

NOTE: TODAY'S POST MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR MEN

Oh DivaCup, why did it take me so long to see? Why was I so blind? Blind to your convenience, your heavenly comfort, your ability to make my life so much freer?

My DivaCup is my new best friend. Seriously I have never been so happy after spending thirty-five dollars. Its only Day 2 and I'm already pretty pro, right now I'm going on seven hours!! Hee!

So my point: Ladies, I know it seems icky, and at first its a bit strange, but its really not that bad, trust me. The benefits for a bit of ickiness are well worth it:
1. Better for your body - no bleached products, risk of TSS or getting a YI!
2. Better for the environment - think about how much waste you are preventing!!
3. Better for your wallet - let me put this in terms we can all love and understand. If you spend $15 a month right now, your DivaCup pays for itself after two. In a year you'd save $180, and over the lifetime of the cup (about ten years) you'd save $1800!! Holy Shit!!! Think about all the booze/chocolate you could buy! You could take up smoking! Well... not the last one...
4. No more sneaking away to the bathroom with your purse, with a tampon concealed in your sweater or anything...
5. No more needing to worry about changing your tampon every four hours (or more, if you have 'bad' days) - Try once every twelve hours!!

Finally, I will conclude this shameless plug by saying that I love my DivaCup and it shocks and appalls me that we didn't figure this out a hell of a lot sooner. So stick it to the capitalist man, forcing you to spend your ice cream money on his bleached, waste-heavy menstrual products. Go buy a DivaCup then a nice treat for yourself!!
