Diva Cup $28.99 at the Grist Amazon Store
Each year billions of tampons and sanitary pads and their packaging made their way into landfills and sewage systems in the USA alone! One solution many are turning to is the Diva Cup.
in the 1930’s a menstrual cup was invented as a form of internal feminine protection. The DivaCup is a modern version that has been redesigned with the latest technology.
The Diva Cup is a small soft rubber cup that collects menstrual flow and is inserted more or less like a tampon. It’s reusable indefinitely — the idea is that you take it out, empty it, wash it with hot water and put it back in. You can wear it up to twelve hours, and comes in two sizes for pre-childbirth and post-childbirth.
