Why you'll love it: The
DivaCup comes in two sizes and stays put for 12 hours, even when you're getting active.
If you've been researching menstrual cups you've probably come across the DivaCup, oh, half a dozen times. It's an extremely popular choice, in part because it's easy to find — I ordered one on Amazon but have also seen it at my local drugstore.
DivaCup is available in two sizes. Model 1, "recommended for those under the age of 30 who have never delivered vaginally or by caesarean section" and Model 2 recommended for everyone else. Of course, the size you use will depend more on your own physiology than anything else.
Both are made of BPA-free healthcare-grade silicone and can be worn leak-free for up to 12 hours. Reviewers do note that leakage is possible if the cup is improperly inserted, so it may take a bit of trial-and-error while you're getting used to using it.
The DivaCup has been featured by Women's Health, Everyday Health, The Wirecutter, and The Strategist. It's an Amazon's Choice pick and a major shopper favorite, with more than 5,000 reviews on the retailer's site and an overall 4.3-star rating.
"This is one of the best inventions ever. I want to scream to the world, "ASK ME ABOUT MY CUP!!!" I won't, but seriously, this is by FAR one of the best things I've ever purchased," raves one reviewer.
The Wirecutter does note that this is a bit of a longer model, so if you have a lower cervix you might want to consider trying a brand that offers shorter cups.
Pros: Healthcare-grade silicone, plastic-, BPA- and dye-free, comes in two sizes, cute storage pouch
Cons: Might be long for some, instructions are a bit confusing, takes trial-and-error
