What's a Diva Cup Used for?

A menstrual cup is a flexible cup that's designed for use inside the vagina during your period to collect blood. The cup doesn't absorb your menstrual flow like tampons or pads do. Most menstrual cups are made of silicone or rubber. If you are sensitive to latex, you'll want to buy silicone cups to avoid any issues.

Who is the diva cup good for?

It's geared toward teens and women under age 30. Women who have never given birth may also prefer the smaller cup. A slightly larger version, size 2, is for women over age 30. This size is also recommended for women who have given birth and women who have a moderate to heavy menstrual flow.
