The DivaCup® is reusable making it the most environmentally responsible
feminine hygiene choice available!
Billions of tampons and pads are dumped into landfill and sewage systems each
year in the U.S. alone. Because The DivaCup® is reusable,
women save money while becoming part of the environmental solution!
Menstrual cups have been used by women worldwide since the 1930’s! The
DivaCup® is:
• A modern menstrual cup
• Patent-pending, expertly engineered
• Perfect for women of all ages
It is made from soft and durable, high quality silicone which makes it latex-free
and hypoallergenic. This unique material has been used in healthcare applications
for over 50 years.
The DivaCup® is cleared for marketing by the FDA (USA) and currently holds
a Health Canada medical device license.
The DivaCup™ is available in two models:
Model 1: for women under 30 years old who have never had childbirth
or c-sections.
Model 2: for women who have had vaginal childbirth or c-sections;
and for women who are over 30 years old and never had childbirth.
The Model 1 cup is 1 11/16" (~4.3 cm) in diameter and the Model 2 cup
is 1 13/16" (~4.6 cm) in diameter. Both cups are around 2 1/4" (~5.7
cm) in length in the body of the cup, with another 3/8" (~1 cm) stem (2
5/8" total length). The stem may be trimmed to adjust for comfort.
There is not a big difference between the two sizes (Model 1 is 1/8" (~0.3
cm) smaller), but it is important to use the recommended sizing to prevent leakage.
We recommend Model 2 if you are over 30 years old because as we age, our hips
naturally widen and the vaginal muscles lose elasticity. Since it is the vaginal
muscles which hold The DivaCup in place, it is important to use Model 2 if you
are over 30, even if you have not had a vaginal childbirth or c-section.
