My DIVA Cup Experience

This IS NOT a sponsored post. I purchased this product with my own money and this is my honest opinion and review of this product. It may contain graphics and language not suitable for children.

As a woman in my 40's and having had children I chose size 2. 

Size one is for women who have not had kids or are younger and size 2 is for women who have had children. 

That is what you get when you buy it. 

One cup and a carrying case and of course an instruction sheet. 

Why did I decide to switch? Not only does it save money, but I don't have to go to the store or ask my husband to buy pads and tampons, at least for me. I have not converted my daughters, yet. 

And, it saves on landfill mess. Not only do I now use the cup, I also have been using cloth pads. Yes, they are reusable but its not as nasty as you might think. And they are easy to clean too. 

I am going to suggest you try this at home before your period. There is a learning curve and it can be a little messy. Sometimes Serial Killer hands messy. 

You have to relax. That's the biggie. If you are not, your vaginal muscles will tighten up and then it will be a challenge. There are several different ways to "fold" the cup and I prefer the "7". 

The good part is, if you don't get it far enough in, a few kegals or sitting up and down in a chair will help it move up into place. 

I think I chose the wrong period for my first use because I had to empty it 4x in a 12 hour period. I had to empty it about every 3 hours because apparently I released 2 eggs this month and my period was Mt. Vesuvius instead of Mt. St. Helen's. If you tend to have heavy periods, I will suggest wearing a panty liner or light flow pad on the heavy day, just in case. 

I am planning on putting it in when I get the telltale back cramps the day before I start. But one thing, when you take the cup out, you have to bear down like your birthing a baby or taking a big poop. And don't be ashamed if you pass gas! It happens, so I hear!

You do have to rinse it out at every change. Or at least wipe it out with damp toilet paper. So until you find what works best for you, change it at home. Would you really want to see someone with blood all over their hands walking out of the stall in the women's room? NOPE, me neither!

I love it! No tampons or carrying one in my purse. I recommend it!

Sticker You Review

Disclosure: I was allowed to design and receive up to $30 in stickers to facilitate my review. 

My opinions are my own.

These are the three designs. Personally I love the birds one the best! 

I have put these on everything! The handmade air fresheners have the round ones on the bottom of the mason jars. The yellow ones went on all the baked goodies AND the birds went on all the gifts we baked at Christmas. 

They are durable and they are still sticking after several washes!

GrubMarket Giveaway

Yes, I did get a box. Yes, the fruit was delish! My only problem was Fed Ex left it on my porch in below 0 weather and most of it was frozen before we even got it. The nim nod didnt knock or let us know he delivered it! 

It was very well packed in recyclable material. No bruises or bumps! A big feat considering it came all the way to Maine from California!

Falls River Soap Company Giveaway

#MomBuzz #ValentinesGift

Amid increased concerns for product safety, growing interest in “green living” and rising consumer awareness towards the dangers of synthetic chemicals, natural and organic personal care products have seen a surge in demand.  Many health issues are associated with the use of synthetic personal care products, like shower gels, shampoos and soaps, due to the presence of chemical compounds such as phthalates, petroleum based chemicals, parabens and aluminum salts.

By aging the soaps to preserve the natural glycerin, Falls River Soap Company is able to produce the most luxurious, pure and gentle moisturizing soap imaginable. 

Many people choose all-natural soaps and shampoos to help deal with sensitive skin issues.  Some have been using all-natural products for as long as they can remember, while others want quality handmade products that are 100% vegetarian and never tested on animals.  If you are just now discovering natural skin care for your family and you will love the amazing variety of soaps offered by Falls River Soap Company!
