DivaCup

[Chelly]

I've been doing a little research on the DivaCup and there's one question that I still have. What happens with the actual liquid? If it gets absorbed, where does it go? Is it like a sponge in a cup?

it fills up with blood and you have to pull it out (carefully) and empty it in the toilet. here's a great vid on it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5eC-7nUnog

oh, and i meant to say it's SOOOO eco friendly, and reusable. so after you take it out, empty it, and wash it, you put her back in and start all over again! you're not only saving your white pants, you're saving the earth :-)

To add to the above, I find the Diva cup much more comfortable than tampons, and with a tampon, I always had to have a pad to catch leakage.

There is a loooong thread on the forum about the diva cup, I suggest you read that.
