The DivaCup - Model 2
Menstrual Solution 1 Diva Cup
4.9 Stars Average rating from
99 reviews
Model 2: for women who are 30 years old and over and/or for all women who have gone through childbirth: vaginally or cesarean.
We recommend Model 2 if you are 30 or over 30 years old, because as we age, our hips naturally widen and the vaginal muscles lose elasticity. Because the vaginal muscles hold The DivaCup in place, it is important to use Model 2 if you are over 30, even if you have not had childbirth.
The DivaCup is a non-absorbent menstrual cup that simply collects menstrual flow. It is inserted in the vagina and sits at the lower base of the vaginal canal. It is worn internally, yet because it is soft and smooth, it cannot be felt nor will it leak when inserted properly.
The DivaCup is the most clean and convenient method of feminine hygiene protection. No need to touch the flow. It is worn low in the vagina, not near the cervix, so it is easy to remove. No mess!
The DivaCup ends hassles with unreliable disposables in endless absorbencies, shapes and styles. It is perfect for all activities - giving women true freedom without the worry, guessing and unreliability that disposable feminine hygiene products pose.
The DivaCup can be worn for up to 12 hours before emptying, washing and reinserting for use for another 12 hours. It can be used for light or moderate flows and is emptied more often to accommodate heavy flows. Perfect for overnight use.
The DivaCup's expert, proprietary, patent-pending features make it comfortable and assures ease of use and reliability. Perfect for traveling, running, biking, hiking, dancing, camping, swimming, diving, scuba, yoga, extreme sports and more...
- Latex-free, plastic-free, BPA-free
- No dyes, colors or additives
- Comfortable, reliable
- Clean, convenient, easy-to-use
- Worn for up to 12 hours at a time

Jen: about a week ago
It does take some getting used to but after one cycle I would never go back to tampons again! I did have to cut the stem off In order for it not to be irritating.
Jess: about a week ago
If there were 10 stars, I'd give it 10! I think I've told everyone who will listen about this. Like others say, it takes a bit to insert it but after a while it's a breeze!! My friend's had hers for almost 4 years and had NO problems and saves TONS on pads/tampons. It's incredibly easy to use and hygienic!! lOVE IT!!
Kathy: about a week ago
After switching to cloth diapers, it seemed natural to switch my feminine hygiene as well. Did a lot of research and found this. Very happy with this product. A little bit of getting use to inserting but you get the hang of it. Will never buy pads or tampons again!!!
Tracey: about a week ago
It was a little difficult to get in/out at first but by the second day I was a pro and it was so comfortable I often forgot I was wearing it.
Aimee: about a week ago
Okay sooo I am finding it a little tricky to use but I am bound and determined! Love it so much, trying to get my teenager interested!!
Olga: a couple of weeks ago
All I can do is just add to the list of praises. You don't even realize the sense of liberation until you actually start using this product. Just think about it - never having to buy another female hygiene product every again! Unparalleled length of protection that just cannot.be.matched. Not by pads, not by tampons, nothing.
I figured out how to work it pretty quickly and haven't had any discomfort putting it in (or taking it out) after a handful of tries. To reduce discomfort taking it out, break the seal by squeezing the cup gently as you're removing it. Don't just pull it straight out. Plan to wear a pad the first few times you use it to ensure your seal is good and you're using it correctly. When used properly, there are no leaks.
Ideal for camping, sports, overnight use, everyday use, anytime-anywhere use!

Initially I was a bit inti,idated by my divacup however once i was comfortable with it I decided that it is fabulous.
Alexis: a couple of weeks ago
When I first heard of the Diva Cup, I was skeptical and could not imagine how such a thing could work. In the end, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to try it. Am happy to say that I LOVE it! It is, by far, the most comfortable feminine hygiene product I have ever used. I have worn it for day to day and for all activities, even yoga, and have not had a single problem. If ther eis a negative, I would have to say that the removal of the cup can be a tad uncomfortable but, I imagine it will become easier with practise and even so, the discomfort lasts for mere seconds -- easy to tolerate given the other benefits.
The comfort, the fact that it is reusable and, therefore, environmentally friendly, and the fact that it saves you money are all selling points for me.
Highly Reccommended

I just starting using this, it works well and is safe. It has yet to leak unlike pads and isn't irritating, life pads and tampons are to me. I only give it a 4/5 because it would be easy to get frustrated trying to get it in as a beginner, but with time it gets easier. Also if you don't like your own menstrual fluids I would not recommend this product, otherwise I would recommend it to everyone else.
V: about a month ago
Have been using this product for 2 years now. I have very heavy periods so I still have to change it many times a day on my heavy days but I love it. I save a fortune in pads and tampons and have far fewer 'accidents'. I always tell people it is not for the faint hearted because if you don't like to deal with your own bodily fluids it's not for you. For someone with heavy periods it can be messy. But I still prefer it and would not go back to tampons.
Wendy: a few months ago
I've been using this product for years and will never go back to tampons or pads again. I did have trouble at first with it leaking and the tab bothering me, but then I read a tip on the internet to cut the tab as short as possible and turn the cup inside out and I had no issues after that.
It does take a few cycles to get used to putting it in and taking it out, and sometimes it doesn't pop open once inside and I have to turn it a bit which is a pain, but considering that I only have to fiddle with it once in the morning and once at night, it's no big deal. I usually empty it and insert it back in while I'm in the shower in the morning and then while sitting on the toilet at night before bed.
This is so much cleaner and more comfortable-feeling than pads or tampons. You don't have to worry about TSS like you do with tampons. This is also much healthier for your body than bleached tampon or pad products, it's cheaper in the long run, and it's better for the environment.
Melissa: a few months ago
Took just a day to make sure I could set it right and leave it with confidence. SO handy and freeing!
Natalie: a few months ago
I have just tried the Diva Cup for the first time and, like most others, I have found it life-changing. What a great product! Especially love that I can wear it all night, as being a mother of two children under 3 I value my full nights sleep. Before the Diva Cup I would have to get up at least once a night but with the Diva Cup I have not had to get out of bed and even don't feel worried about emptying it the minute I get up. This is my first cycle using it and I have had no trouble using it and no leaks!
Aicha: a few months ago
Great product, far better than tampons, clean, discrete and no waste.No lickage when properly placed, and easy to get out. After 3 uses you it is so easy to put in and out. And you don`t feel it at all, you will wonder where did you period go? lol
Jane: a few months ago
The Diva Cup is very convenient to use and much more comfortable than conventional feminine products. I feel cleaner and more secure when I use it. I can be a little tricky to get the hang of removal, but overall absolutely worth the investment!
Erin: a few months ago
Just got mine a few weeks ago! Have used it once and I'm never going back to pads/tampons :) If you follow the instructions, you can quickly get good at inserting and removing it. Like anything new, it took a bit of practice, but not as muc as I thought it would take, and it is now really easy for me. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Jordan: a few months ago
As a first time user it was simple and effective. Love the Diva Cup. Will never go back to disposable products.
Patty: a few months ago
Life changing product - I wish I'd have known about it sooner. You can literally go about your day and forget you have your period!
Lesley: a few months ago
I've been using a Diva Cup for about 7 years now and I would never go back to using tampons. Cheaper, easier, and waaay more comfortable.
Jan: a few months ago
I've been using this product for almost 3 years now, originally using size 1, but since having a baby i had to move up to size 2, and I can honestly say I will not use anything else. It's comfortable and no leaks, what more could I ask for.
Jessica: a few months ago
I actually use Diva cup model one, but I loved it so much I ordered the model 2 for a friend. This is the best thing since indoor plumbing. Ive saved insane amounts of money since this cup is all i need. No pads, no tampons and with the Diva cup i also have NO LEAKS! I think every woman should have one of these! Thank you!
Alanna: a few months ago
Like most others, I wish this product had been around since I was a teenager. I admit I was skeptical, but it was actually quite easy to learn how to use. Great for the environment and the pocketbook with the money I'll save on feminine hygiene products. I am also looking forward to the convenience of this product while working and travelling abroad. Very highly recommended!
robin: a few months ago
Will never go back to tampons and pads again. I am convinced my flow is lighter and less frightening than before due to the Diva cup.
vanessa: a few months ago
Where was this when I was younger??!!! I absolutely love this and will never go back to other products again!
Patricia: a few months ago
Amazing product. Can't get over how much money I will save and how easy it is to use. Also surprisingly comfortable!
Carrie: a few months ago
Wow, this is going to change my life! (well, for a week at a time anyway.) It took a little bit of getting used to, insertion as well as being comfortable enough to know that it was not going to leak. I do change it more often on my heavier flow days (I have an IUD which seems to have made my flow heavier) But, as long as I do that, no leaks! Certainly not as messy as I thought it would be! YAY!
carleen: a few months ago
I was intrigued by this product and wanted to try it out. When I sat down and thought about the cost, I knew I'd spend that easily in pads and tampons in a couple months. This change was so worth it! I had an IUD when I first started using it and had extremely heavy flows - not to be graphic, but I'd have to empty it every few hours because it was always leaking. But then I got the hang of it and would be more proactive on the heavier days. Now I've switched to the pill (not related to using the Cup) and can leave it in for 12 hrs without any leakage issues. Took one cycle to get accustomed to using it, but I'll never go back to pads again!
Vanessa: a few months ago
I've been using this product for about 3 years now and I will never go back.
Jenny: a few months ago
Excellent! It took a couple of days to figure it out but I will never go back!
Margaret: a few months ago
So far I am loving this product. It came highly recommended by several friends. The instructions are easy to understand and clearly written and the packaging is appropriate size for the product. I am happy to take a small step in helping the environment by kicking all the paper products to the curb!
jessica: a few months ago
Wished I had this years ago...works like a charm. Wonderful! So glad I tried it. Highly recommend it.
Cindy: a few months ago
I love my Diva cup and I have used it with success for many many years! I wanted to give a couple of tips for users who find the tab sits too low. I find mine sits lower at the start of my period because my cervix is lower.
You can do two things to make it more comfortable for you...use a pair of nail clippers to trim it close and smooth. This will make a huge difference. The other option if you still find it sits a little low after trimming it is very simple - simply turn it inside out!!
I did see a note about keeping the air holes clean. The easiest way to do this is to fill it with water after rinsing it out, cover the top with your palm and squeeze - the water will squirt out of the rim holes and clean them out.
I hope this helps a little!
Rosalind: a few months ago
This product represents my lifestyle.... green, environmental, no waste, no mess. :) It is so easy and convenient, I don't know what I would do without the Diva Cup!
Heather: a few months ago
LOVE the diva cup. Had my DivaCup 1 for YEARS before i had my baby. Now i've moved onto DivaCup 2 and am excited to never have to buy tampons again! so much better. takes some getting used to but when you do, it's well worth the money-saving (and health benefits - no TSS)
Leah: a few months ago
Love this product and so glad I found it while browsing the Well.ca site. I used a similar product and loved not having to use paper product (great), however, it was disposable (not great). After having children, that disposable cup always leaked so I am thrilled that the DivaCup works as I expected and is NOT disposable. I can see it might take some getting use to for those that have never used one but it is the best sense of freedom once you take that leap!
A.: a few months ago
I was interested in this for a while and after asking my friends discovered I was basically the only person I know not using one, so that sealed the deal. I thought there might be a learning curve - difficulty in using/leaking etc, but I had no problems at all. Its comfortable, ridiculously easy to use, clean and simple simple simple. I can't imagine ever using tampons again and can't wait to have this ready for my next trip
Mandy: a few months ago
I LOVE IT! NO more chords, garbage, leakage, annoying messes and no more packing around supplies. Easy!!
Maureen: a few months ago
Easy to use, less expensive than tampons and pads, you never run out, and eco-friendly to boot. How much better can you get??
Janet: a few months ago
Love love love the diva cup. I have been using one exclusively for 4 years and can't imagine having to go back to the alternatives. Great for sports too.
Katherine: a few months ago
This is an AWESOME product! I was no longer "tied" to the washroom, and was much more relaxing period. I used a pad to begin with, but it was totally unnecessary. Even my husband noticed how much "happier" the week seemed to be! Give it a try, its definately worth it!
Kari: a few months ago
Best product on the market. Saves you tons of money each year. Most comfortable to use once you get used to inserting and removing. The best and healthy choice available.
K: a few months ago
Awesome product. Saves you tons of money each year. A better and healthy choice. Easy to use and completely comfortable.
Venessa: a few months ago
I am 39 and had a emergency cesarean after an unsuccessful vaginal delivery attempt. I am hoping that I will get use to this but I think that I too should have gone with the smaller one as my first week of trying to get this to work it was kinda painful especially when trying to get it out.
I am not going to rate this product yet as I don't feel I have given myself long enough to get use to it yet. I will rate at a later date.
Anna: a few months ago
I love this product... now that I have the hang of it! It took me almost the full length of my period to get used to the diva cup and figure out proper insertion, but I'm really loving it now. It's not 100% leak-proof (I've delivered two babies vaginally, maybe that's why?), but it's still much better than the alternatives!!
Melissa: a few months ago
I used to hate getting my period and having to mess with the annoying and unreliable disposable garbage. But I only have to mess with it 2-3 times a day. It doe NOT smell bad. I like that I can use it on my light days with out discomfort or external mess. ALSO!!! I do not get cramps with my Diva cup and my period is shorter! I am so in love with my Diva cup I am considering buying two just incase I run into some accident like last time, I wont have to wait for a replacement. At first I was reluctant to try it, but I did on reccomendation of a friend. And I never want to be without it again. It can take a bit to get the hang of it, but not longer than 1 or two periods and in the beginning when I didn't trust it or myself to do it right I used panty liners. But the thing is, if it's not in right, you can feel it, and when it is you can't! Easy peasy!
Sara: a few months ago
This product has changed my life. I have fairly heavy flow at the beginning of my period and I'd have to use the overnight pads all day and at night I could only sleep on my side else there was quite the mess. This is no longer a problem. I sometimes wear a backup cloth pad on my heavy days if I don't have regular access to a bathroom as the cup can overflow sometimes. This problem is not likely something that applies to the average woman though. I haven't had any problems putting it in myself, but every woman is different.
CharD: a few months ago
I just purchased my 2nd Diva Cup. (I've used Diva for years!) I absolutely love using it instead of pads and tampons. It does take some getting used to, but it's so easy once you learn. No leaks, no worries.
Laurie: a few months ago
Based on all the reviews, I'll have to give my Diva cup another chance. It was so painful to insert and then BIG painful on removal, that I just couldn't bear the idea of trying it again. I have the model two since I am near 40 and have a child.... but I don't know if I can keep trying it for 3 months to get used to it.
I do agree that it is a great product though and like others I really WANT to love it!
Tina: a few months ago
Amazing product. With this product I am one step closer to having a Happy Period. No more pads or tampons is wonderful.
The first time using it, I did wear a pad for the day and there was even a drop on it.
Highly recommend it to everyone.
Love it...
Lori: a few months ago
Very convenient, you can wear it all day and not have to worry about leaking. Takes a bit of practice to get the seal right, but not difficult. Excellent product!
Carolyn: a few months ago
I've been using the Diva cup for 8 years. I recently gave birth and moved up to Model 2, and it's still fantastic! No leaks, no pads, and so much nicer than tampons. Highly recommended.
Mandy: about a year ago
Absolutely the best product I've ever used. I previously used the Instead disposable cups as an alternative to tampons and pads, but have had leakage problems with them in the past. The Diva Cup is perfect, it does NOT tip over allowing leaks! Incredibly highly recommended.
caroline: about a year ago
wonderful, wonderful. I'm only sorry I didn't try one sooner. I've just started using it this week, and it's been fantastic. I have a really heavy flow, but no leaks. And being able to use it for up to 12 hours is SO much better than having to change pads/tampons every few hours. I don't think I can ever go back :)
Lynne: about a year ago
I'm very happy with my DivaCup. It took me a good few days to get the hang of using it, but man oh man is it ever nice not having to worry about pads! Highly recommend it, just be prepared to spend the first cycle getting used to inserting and removing.
Jonquil: about a year ago
Loooved it. So much better than buying all those feminine products, just to have them end up in the garbage.
Carrie: about a year ago
I had been using a similar product, The Keeper, for many years, but I find the Diva Cup much more comfortable and easier to insert and remove because the material is more flexible (The Keeper is made of rubber).
Jamey: about a year ago
I just purchased this and found it kept slipping lower and lower after 5 minutes of inserting it. I am 29 and had 3 kids so I am going to try and work on my kegals. I really want to love it. Sick of pads and tampons but feeling like the Diva Cup isn't going to work for me.
Khristinne: about a year ago
Once you get the hang of the technique you'll find how well it works and you can't even feel it. I've saved a load of money using the Diva Cup instead of disposable pads and tampons. I highly recommend it!
Meghan: about a year ago
I bought this to replace my Keeper and I love it. The silicone is softer and more flexible making it easier to insert and remove. After I trimmed the stem quite short I found it perfectly comfortable. I cannot praise this product too highly. After going back to messy pads and irritating tampons for a few months I now know the Diva cup is the only way to go.
Heather: about a year ago
Great product! Feels good to be less wasteful. Works well, although not quite as leak-proof as the product description says.
Kari: about a year ago
Highly recommend the diva cup. Bought it from well.ca about a year ago. Putting it in takes a little getting used to. I still use a couple of pantyliners each month as backup on heavy days for very minor leakage. Definately wouldn't go back to tampons. Nothing to throw away. Nothing extra to buy. Can safely keep it in for up to 12 hrs. Wouldn't say it gives you a happy period but there is something satisfying about using this product. Eco and budget friendly. Always thought someone should invent this and it already was invented. Wish I had discovered it long ago!
Morana: about a year ago
I just finished my first period with the DIVA Cup and I'm totally impressed. No more tampons for me ever. It took a little practice to learn to insert it properly but it was well worth it. No mess, no leaks, no waste and very cost effective. The DIVA Cup changed my attitude about my periods. Exellent product.
Julie: about a year ago
Took me a couple of days to get the hang of it but it works great and is going to save me a bunch of money.
Ella: about a year ago
So liberating, I can't believe I waited so long to try this. I have a very heavy flow and spent way too much money on pads/tampons. This is a lifesaver.
Deb: more than a year ago
I love this product. Used it for the first time ever. The first time inserting it was tricky, but after that I got the placement easily. I wish I started using this product
years ago. A huge improvement from wearing tampons or pads. Excellent product. So easy to use and clean.
Hannah: more than a year ago
Wow. I did a lot of research on this before I bought it and while I was very excited about the eco friendly aspect of the diva cup and the convenience of not having to mess with changing it every few hours, my big concern was the actual insertion. However, despite all the comments about how hard it was to insert properly the first few times, it worked like a charm for me from the get go and I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable and fuss-free it was. One thing I noticed after I purchased it, was that it is not recommended for those with an IUD. This was mentioned in super tiny print and I might have missed it, so I wanted to mention this in my review. Basically, the diva cup is the best thing you'll ever buy for your period!
Sara: more than a year ago
When I first ordered the DivaCup online, I was a little unsure. But I've just tried it for a few days and I absolutely love it! It makes me feel free! I wish I hadn't waited so long to try it, and I already feel like I couldn't live without it. And, of course, I'm helping to save the planet while I use it.
Victoria: more than a year ago
I used to have "The Keeper" (an American product like The DivaCup) and used it for years prior to having a baby. Once I gave birth I needed to get the larger size cup but the company stopped shipping to Canada. Fortunately for me I found The DivaCup and LOVE it. I bought the larger size for those who have had a baby and it works very well. Simple to use. Convenient. Great product.
Leah: more than a year ago
I love this product and can't say enough good things about it. Eco-friendly, convenient, healthy, cost-effective...and the list goes on. I have even converted some friends over. I don't know what took me so long to try it, but once I did I never looked back. It just makes sense.
Nicola: more than a year ago
This is one of those lifestyle changing products you always dream about finding. It totally changed the way I view getting my period. Instead of dreading the mess and inconvenience, I don't even think about it. After two or three cycles, you will be completely adjusted to how to insert and remove it. If it is inserted correctly, you won't even feel it at all. I have even read that it helps reduce cramps. I have converted several friends and family members over the years, and all of them (even the ones that were initially skeptical) swear by it now.
Take the plunge - $40 is nothing compared to what you will save over the course of few cycles!
Catherine: more than a year ago
The best ever invention for women. I've been using this for a year now, and it has totally changed the way I think about my period. Most of the time I forget I even have my period when this is in. I can also put it in when I'm expecting my period so it prevents any accidents. It has been a godsend for travelling. It takes up no room at all in the luggage compared to traditional tampons and pads.
The best tip I have is to insert it when you're sitting on the toilet in the direction of your back. Make sure you keep the little holes near the top clear. Clean the it after every cycle by boiling it in water. This will also remove an discoloration.
Jenn T: more than a year ago
I LOVE my Diva cup. It took a little while to get used to inserting it properly but once you get the hang of it it is sooo easy. I highly recommend it!
Martine: more than a year ago
I've been using this since 2007. It takes a while to get used to and I still use a liner as sometimes it does leak a bit. I empty out once a day. Great on vacation. I can't hardly feel it. I bought size 2 as I'm over 30 but since I haven't had kids yet I could have bought size down. There isn't a huge difference in size.
valerie: more than a year ago
Pros: don't need to wear bulky pads, less waste, reusable, and is big enough to hold my day's worth. (maybe not others)
Cons: This was painful for me - the tab jabs me even when I cut it short. I can still feel it no matter how different ways I insert it. It leaks no matter how methods I have tried. Bought another brand that was much more comfortable.
Scarlet: more than a year ago
I've been using the Diva cups for 6 years and Absolutely *LOVE* it!! They're great all night and all day, I even used it postpartum! I can't imagine buying pads and tampons agains...
Sarah: more than a year ago
I've been using this for 6 months now. It took 2 - 3 months to really perfect the techniques, but once you get the hang of it, it is absolutely wonderful and I'd never go back.
Bronwyn: more than a year ago
What an amazing product! I love it. Comfortable, eco-friendly, easy to use, and I'm saving money - - - What's not to love.
Helen: more than a year ago
I've been using it for 2 years now and would never go back. It does take a bit of getting used to (give yourself about 3mths) but I'd never go back! Much more comfortable than tampons and once I got the hang of it I've never needed a back up. Highly recommend giving it a try!
Linda: more than a year ago
I am 33 years old and never had a child. As instructed, I bought model #2. However, I have not even been able to insert it as it's too painful! I am pretty sure that I can eventually force it in, but not sure that I can then get it out. Too bad, because I really wanted to like this!
Susan: more than a year ago
This product is awesome!!! I've been using one since 2004 and I love it. I bought as I was doing some extended field work in the Northern Ontario forests and didn't want to have to figure out how to deal with disposables in that situation. I haven't looked back since and I have saved a pile of money!!!
Keri: more than a year ago
This is the best. I was skeptical, it sounded a bit weird but living in the country, on a septic system made me want to buy this, and I don't have any regrets. It is amazing.
Marika: more than a year ago
I've been using Diva Cup since 2006 and I wouldn't go anywhere without it. I travel quite a bit and figuring out when and how much supply I'd need was always an issue (in a strange place on another continent it's a pain to try to find your favourite tampon brand ;-)). Now I need only the Cup.
It does take some getting used to, but the latest version also has been improved and I found it more comfortable to use than the early ones. On a heavy day I do use a liner as a backup, but then I needed the same with tampons too.
It's highly recommended!
Susan: more than a year ago
This product rocks! You will be amazed. It does take a little getting used to but so did inserting a tampon way back when I started using tampons. Best part is that it's environmental friendly. Give it a try!
Cindy: more than a year ago
This is the best women's product around. I do use liners as backup on heavy days, but there is seriously no comparison to the cup!!!!
Jennifer: more than a year ago
Amazing product!! Takes a little getting used to but once you get the hang of inserting and removing it you won't believe how amazing it is!! and eco-friendly!! I love it!
linner: more than a year ago
Wonderful, wonderful...such freedom not having to use tampons anymore, and I used to have to buy different sizes for the different flows I had throughout my cycle--it gets expensive. I've been using the divacup since fall '08, and love it. Takes a bit of getting used to at first, inserting it properly and removing it without it slipping from your fingers, but then it's clear sailing! Love it.
