Product Information
The DivaCup is the economical, eco-friendly and leak-free way to experience total period comfort. Our DivaCup Model 2 us for those over the age of 30 and/or have a heavier menstrual flow.
Features
100% medical grade silicone, no dyes, BPA, plastics or chemicals. Made in Canada
Benefit
When used as directed, the DivaCup is a better solution to tampons or pads. Latex-free, plastic-free, BPA-free, odor-free and free of colors and dyes, the DivaCup is made from medical grade non-absorbent silicone, which means it will not dry out or disrupt the natural environment of your vagina.
12 Hour Leak-Free Protection: The DivaCup can be worn up to a maximum of ten (10) – twelve (12) consecutive hours and should be emptied, washed and rinsed a minimum of two (2) – three (3) times daily.
Odor: Menstrual flow only begins to develop an odor when it is exposed to air. As the DivaCup is worn internally, your days of worrying about period odor are over. Menstrual fluid on tampons and pads is exposed to air which creates odor throughout the day.
Product Cost: At first glance it may seem that the DivaCup is expensive compared to buying a box of tampons or pads. However, every DivaCup user will attest that it is worth every penny, and more. Plus, the DivaCup pays for itself in just a few months since it is a reusable product.
Ideal for all Shapes and Sizes: The DivaCup is suitable for all ages, sizes and lifestyles. When most are first introduced to the DivaCup they are surprised by its size and often ask us “will that even fit?”. Unlike the cylinder shape of tampons, the DivaCup is shaped like a bell. We assure everyone, whether age 13 or 33, that there is nothing to worry about.

Product Uses
FOLD
Fold Option 1 U Fold:
Press the sides of the cup together and then fold it in half again forming a tight “U” shape.
Fold Option 2 Push Down:
Place a finger on the top rim of the cup and press it down into the center of the inside base to form a triangle. This makes the top rim much smaller to insert.
HOLD
Hold the folded sides firmly in place between your thumb and forefinger so that the curved edge is facing away from your palm (or so that the stem is facing your palm).
INSERT
In a comfortable position and with your vaginal muscles relaxed, gently separate the labia with your free hand and then push the curved edge of the folded DivaCup horizontally into the vaginal opening so that the tip of the stem is no further than a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) into the vagina. Inserting the DivaCup too high in the vaginal canal may cause leaks, and may also make removal more difficult.
ROTATE
Once the DivaCup is in your vagina, grip the base of the cup, not the stem, and turn the cup one complete rotation, 360 degrees, in either direction. This will create a seal.
REMOVE
To remove, pull gently on the stem of the DivaCup until you can reach the base of the cup. Pinch the base of the cup to release the seal and continue to pull down to remove it. After the cup has been removed, empty the contents in the toilet, wash the DivaCup well with warm water and the DivaWash, or a mild unscented water-based (oil-free) soap, and reinsert.
Recyclable
Packaging can be recycled. Product can't be recycled
Tips and Advice
Before first use, it is important to submerge the DivaCup in an open pot of boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Before insertion and after removal, you must also wash your DivaCup using the DivaWash or warm water and a mild, unscented, water-based (oil-free) soap.
Remember to empty and wash your DivaCup at least twice a day, a minimum of every 12 hours
As a new user, part of the experience of switching to The DivaCup is finding an insertion and removal routine that works best for you to help ensure the cup is positioned properly. Relaxing the muscles is key as the vaginal muscles are what hold the cup in place and tense muscles will make both insertion and removal?uncomfortable. Take a few deep breathes in and out before inserting the cup
Never use a lubricant to insert the DivaCup. The ingredients in lubricants can damage the silicone, so we suggest using only water as a lubricant! When cleaning your DivaCup be sure to avoid using: vinegar, tea tree oil, scented/fragranced soap, castile/peppermint soap or any other oil based soap, rubbing alcohol, antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer, pre-moistened wipes, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, dishwashing soap, bleach or harsh chemicals as some have been known to damage or compromise the silicone (may leave a sticky or powdery film, etc.) and may need to be replaced to avoid irritations, burning, etc.
