The DivaCup®: Not a Tampon, Not a Pad … Finally a Better Way!
The DivaCup® Menstrual Solution is a leading-edge menstrual cup. The first innovation of its kind in 50 years! This newly designed and greatly improved product is the leader in the menstrual cup category, worldwide. It is modern and easy-to-use.

divacup-boxes-close-cropLeading-Edge Menstrual Innovation:
After 10 years of successfully selling menstrual cups worldwide, a forward-thinking mother-daughter team made structural improvements and now manufactures the product out of top quality, healthcare grade silicone. This makes The DivaCup® comfortable, clean, reliable and reusable. The revolutionary product is latex-free, plastic-free and BPA-free.
“With all the state-of-the-art conveniences Western society has developed, it baffles me why we are still using out-dated feminine hygiene concepts,” explains Francine, who had the concept of a menstrual cup in her head for over 25 years.

The Environment:
The 41 year menstruation span (women 11-52 years) creates billions of pounds of disposable feminine hygiene products that are “dumped” into the environment each year. In 1998, the annual figures, for the U.S. alone, were estimated at 12 billion sanitary pads and 7 billion tampons. This kind of influx into landfills is creating a concern, among not only environmentalists, but informed women. Because The DivaCup is reusable it is ecological and economical, it is seen as a viable solution.
“We are committed to decreasing this serious eco-footprint by offering The DivaCup®”, states Carinne Chambers who began the company with her mother, Francine, after completing an Honors Bachelor of Business degree from the prestigious Wilfrid Laurier University.

Women’s Health:
Because the menstrual cup has never been linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome, women are putting their concern for health to the forefront by purchasing this ground-breaking alternative. Also, it does not affect important vaginal moisture, making it a perfect alternative or supplement to tampons or pads

Convenience:
The DivaCup® offers ultimate freedom: daily activities, including sports such as swimming, as well as traveling with no messy “leaks” are made possible with The DivaCup®. The expense and inconvenience of buying and carrying supplies in all shapes, sizes and absorbencies is eliminated.

It is perfect for women of all ages: from teenagers to those approaching menopause. The DivaCup® will accommodate one’s individual and changing flow, neatly collected in the cup. The DivaCup® can be worn for up to 12 hours and holds even heavy flows. It is removed 2-3 times a day, emptied and reinserted. The DivaCup® can be worn overnight.

Two models have been developed to meet the needs of every woman:
Model 1: For women under 30 years old who have never delivered vaginally or by caesarean section.

Model 2: For women over 30 years old and/or for women who have delivered vaginally or by caesarean section.

The DivaCup® is highly visible – women are asking retailers for this modern alternative to tampons and pads, by name. Used by women worldwide. Our plastic-free, BPA-free, latex-free, silicone menstrual cup is clean, reliable and easy-to-use. It is the most environmentally-responsible feminine hygiene choice available because it is reusable.

menstrual-cup-mooncupThe Mooncup menstrual cup

The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.

Mooncup Sizes:

Size A is recommended for women who have given birth vaginally or who have had a caesarean section and are aged 30 or above.
Size B is recommended for women who have not given birth or who have had a caesarean section and are aged below 30.

The Mooncup menstrual cup contains no bleaches, deodorisers or absorbency gels. It does not interfere with your healthy vaginal environment, nor has it been associated with toxic shock syndrome.

The smooth surface of the Mooncup allows the mucus membranes of your vaginal wall to continue their essential cleansing and protective functions. The Mooncup does not absorb your body’s natural defence mechanisms and will not deposit fibres in your vaginal wall.

The Mooncup will not cause irritation and is suitable for women with sensitive skin, thrush, eczema or allergy.

For your safety the Mooncup is made from a special medical grade non-allergic silicone. Silicone is derived from silica which is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. The Mooncup is manufactured in the UK.

The Mooncup can be cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising fluid, or by boiling for five minutes in an open pan of water.

Unlike pads and tampons the Mooncup menstrual cup is reusable, eliminating the need to carry bulky spares. With proper care your Mooncup will last for several years.

Imagine the towels and tampons that you will be disposing of in landfill sites during those years!

Please ensure that you select the correct size. For hygiene reasons we cannot exchange these products.

Please note that women over the age of 30 years old are increasingly likely to need the larger size regardless of giving birth. This is because the tone of vaginal and pelvic floor muscles naturally reduces with age but to varying degrees in different women. Some activities will maintain tone, such as yoga, pilates, dance, so if you are advanced in any these, or similar activities take this into consideration when choosing which size you need. Corrective surgery to the vagina will also have implications.
