There are a number of menstrual cups sold in the market today. They are made from different kinds of materials. The DivaCup is a menstrual cup that is made from silicone. The silicone menstrual cup is a comfortable and secure alternative to disposable menstrual products such as pads and tampons. This menstrual cup is worn internally whenever the woman has her period. It is made from durable medical grade silicone that is 100% hypoallergenic and is suitable for women who have allergic reactions to latex.

Silicone menstrual cups are very convenient, reliable, comfortable and sanitary. These can hold up to 30 ml or a full ounce of content. On average, the menstrual cup is not even half full after 12 hours. This product is perfect for athletes and women who have strong menstrual flow. The vagina is self-cleansing. It washes away the dead cells and bacterias. The tampons absorb the natural fluids needed by the vagina to keep it moist and clean. With the DivaCup, the menstrual flow is collected, leaving the natural moisture the vagina needs.

There are two models from DivaCup. There is the Model 1 for women who are under 30 years and have never had given birth and the Model 2 for women who have given birth or are over 30 years old. This is to accommodate the varying degrees of vaginal muscles strength and elasticity. A proper fit is important with the DivaCup.

Menstrual cups (like tampons) can be used by virgins even from a girl's very first period. The more familiar a woman or girl is with her vagina, the easier using internal products will be. A good way for a girl to do this is to look at diagrams and descriptions of female genitalia and reproductive organs, and to become comfortable with her own body, perhaps using a hand-mirror.To find out more about DivaCup, go to
