The Diva WHAT???

Cloth diapers are now just a smidgen of what my family does to save money and be green.  Along with cloth diapers we have begun to use cloth napkins, towels instead of paper towel, etc.  But I am always looking for new ways to be environmentally conscious and, of course, save money.

I first read about the Diva Cup on a mommy blog.  The Diva what????  I didn’t know exactly what it was, but it sounded. ..um… weird.  But then as I was browsing Kelly’s Closet I saw that they had them for sale.  That was over a year ago.  I was pregnant and looking for newborn diapers, not menstrual care.  I was a little intrigued and read the description to my husband.  Like most men his reaction was “I do NOT want to know”.   But I did and it didn’t seem as “weird”.

Fast forward to a couple of months ago.  Despite nursing exclusively I, once again, got my monthly fun visit back.   I was totally not prepared.  Emergency trip to the store.  And then on the way home, the Diva Cup entered my mind.  I began wondering if it really worked.  Does it hurt?  Is it gross?

I’m here to tell you that it is worth it!  The instructions are very clear and with a couple of times I had the hang of using it.  Not only will it pay for itself within about 3 months, it is comfortable, hygienic (I also use the Diva Wash), and I don’t have to make any emergency trips to the store!  Cloth diapering has opened up a whole new world to me.
