I was so, so excited last year when I started reading about the various types of menstrual cups. I've never had any problems with tampons, but I hate the idea of wasting so much paper and creating such a volume of trash. So I ordered myself a Diva Cup and tried it out. It was unbelievably painful. I tried it for three months and by the end of that time, I was dreading having another period. I had to readjust the position of the cup constantly, and even though I did all sorts of research and tried all sorts of ways to make the cup more comfortable, nothing worked. I couldn't bring myself to keep using it, as much as I liked the idea. I have no idea why it didn't work for me - I'm not unusually tight, I bought the right size, I applied it correctly. I would still encourage ladies to try one out, but they can be really unpleasant.
