Diva Cup

The Diva was my first cup, mostly because I could purchase it at a store near me.
I noticed two different sizes: 1 for women under 30 or who haven't given birth & 2 for women over 30 or who have given birth. I chose the size 1 as it seemed best suited for me.
I opened up the box after I got home and started reading about it and doing lots of research online on how to insert etc. 
I did manage to finally figure it out after a few tries, however it is a little too long for me. So I use it with the stem cut off and that works better for me. As my cervix moves lower I do need to turn it inside out for it to work.
It is fairly soft, which I like, and I love the feel of the cup itself. It comes with a pouch to store it in and a pin you can wear or put in your bag for decoration.

Overall it's a good soft cup, but probably better for those with a higher cervix.
