Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
I thought this blog post with pictures of several different menstrual cups was awesome! I saw a sizing chart years ago but this is so much more...visual. Neat

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
Thanks! After 8 years with the diva I have to replace it (and found out they recommend replacing every year!) and I'm not sure which way to go.

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
I wonder if the cup manufacturers reached market saturation and decided to "update" their replacement guidelines?

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
That's weird...LadyCup still says lifetime of their product is 15 years
I've seen sites where people sell theirs as well..no thanks |

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
I don't think they really need to be replaced every year. Mine is still fine after 8 years (it met with an unfortunate accident.) I think it's more about making money and not ticking off the fda. Keeper still says 10 years. Divas claim that you can save over $100 with the cup is absurd if you have to replace it every year.

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
Wow, was so helpful!
I'm finally convinced to order one and try it! The example with the wine glass was especially good |

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
the diva cup people now sell there own wash for it. I think they are trying ot make the busness work.
I replaced my diva cup this year I had it for 6 years.

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
I've had my Diva for quite a while but keep having babies so it's not seen much action. Hoping I still like it once AF returns.

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
I loved the Meluna I had without a stem. The Diva stem pinched. I need to get another one after baby comes.

Re: Neato! side by side comparison pic of menstrual cups
I'm trying to decide if I'm just heading to Whole Foods to buy a Diva or ordering a Mooncup UK.
