Diva Cup Menstrual Cups - Gifts For Menopausal Women

The Diva Cup: Welcome To The Concept Of Menstrual Cups. No More Tampons. No More Pads.

While we’ve seen changes in menstrual hygiene products through the centuries, they haven’t changed much in recent years. Or so I had thought.

Choices in feminine hygiene products during one’s period can include various sizes of pad, pad thickness, or tampon capacity and length – there really ain’t much more!

Until…..

Then I heard of something different – the Diva Cup menstrual cap. A device that would work for any woman, would help the environment, and be safer for women. Sounds crazy, right? Or too good to be true? The LENA Feminine hygiene cup was that very product.

While saving the environment may not have crossed your mind on your monthly cycle, I imagine you’ve thought once or twice about whether sanitary pads or tampons are healthy products. After all, we’ve all heard of Toxic Shock, right?

When I first heard of the Diva cup, I was intrigued about using healthier products, and helping the environment was an added bonus. While there are similar cups on the market, the Diva cup seems to top the list in my friend group.

Note, I found the BEST video about a wonderful youtuber (Safiya Nygaard) working with an actual Diva cup. Not only is the video informative, but, she’s a riot: Diva Cup vs. Safiya Nygaard….

What Is A Menstrual Cup And How The Heck Does It Work?!

The LENA cup is a soft silicone cup that is inserted like a tampon but, unlike a tampon, it will never leak so it offers the best protection during one’s period. Also unlike a tampon, you should never feel it or have any discomfort from its use, especially if you’re active during your period. And, there’s no string to peek out under that bikini….

The menstrual cup is made of silicone and is shaped like a bell for comfort. When inserted (just like a tampon), the menstrual cup surrounds the cervix and collects the blood that is shed during menstruation.

A menstrual cap also allow you to wear it for a longer amount of time than feminine pads or tampons. A wonderful point about using a menstrual cup is that the risk of Toxic Shock is minimal. In fact, the LENA cup can be worn up to 12 hours, unlike tampons.

If you’ve been concerned about the safety of your products, this feminine cup could ease your mind. There aren’t added chemicals, which can be found in the typical pads or tampons. It helps your intimate area stay healthy, as it doesn’t make the area dry or create an environment for yeast infections. It’s also made in the USA and is an FDA approved product.

The LENA Feminine Hygiene cup may sound like something out of this world, but it’s a popular product for both the younger and older generation. Women are experiencing the benefits of tossing their pads and tampons for good and using a comfortable, reusable cup that helps them feel more sanitary and helps the environment.
