Well, if you think about the amount of women who must be on their periods right this second just in the US alone, and how many pads and tampons they used just today, that's a lot of trash, and it has to go somewhere. Often it's put in landfills which are huge holes in the earth, filled with trash, then covered over. In my opinion, it's not very good to do this to the earth. We create so much trash everyday that eventually we're going to have to think of a different solution.
The environmental reason is just one reason I like the Divacup. It also saves you a LOT of money. It's around $30, but it lasts TEN years. Imagine the money saved from not buying pads or tampons for one whole year.

LOL, I do feel like I work for the company since I'm advertising them so much here... They should pay me! But yeah... I really do think it's great, and I swear, I'm not getting paid by them. ^_^
I've had the cup I have now for about a year and a half. It's washed every day, and then after every cycle you boil it in water to disinfect it.... it doesn't break down because it's made of silicone. On the website it says it can last up to 10.

I got mine online. I've also seen them sold at *some* health food stores -- but only the super-hippie-friendly ones.

lol! They just really hurt my tummy... ha I sound so immature. STOMACH i mean, not tummy Yeah.... but not sickness. And broken soul- they go up the same place (!!) as tampons, but whereas tampons absord it, the Divacup holds it. And you can't get TSS from Divacup.

okay, that's a shame because I don't like tampons.. well, I prefer to use pads. I sometimes get cramps but when I do they're quite painfull-I need to take tablets. Or eat more chocolate
