i got one recently and tried it once before my last period ended, but i don't think i had it in right. you know how you fold it and then it's meant to pop unfolded? i think mine somehow stayed sort of folked. anyways, i want to give it a try when i'm at home for a bit, so that if i wanted to fiddle with it i could, and right now i'm in the middle of a practicum that doesn't really allow that. also, i'm not on my period. haha. i suppose i should wait for that. i'm excited to make it work, though.
i'm in canada, and i bought my divacup at venus envy in halifax (venuseny.ca- they ship and there's a store in halifax too. super cool to check out anyways). the storekeep actually told me that she wanted me to take it home and try it for at least a few cycles to get used to it, but that if i didn't like it after that, i could return it (i think that offer is good for up to a year...?). i don't think i would bother to take them up on the offer, but i thought it was awesome that it's there. i paid about 50 after taxes and all for the cup, but i will easily get my money's worth, and have an offer to return it for a full refund. how can i argue with that?!
oh, and i tried the instead cups, and found them awesome until i had to poo. grossly descriptive, perhaps. but i tried it during a time when i had some, um, digestional problems. and i went to poo and pushed out the cup, so it wasn't a very productive time.
