Ladies, let’s get real. We all know how much of a pain – and how painful – our periods can be. All you want is be comfy throughout the week. So, are tampons really the way to go? The Diva Cup is becoming more and more popular, and it’s time to jump on the bandwagon.

I will admit it. When I first heard about the Diva Cup, I was not with the idea. But a couple friends tried it and told me it was worth all the benefits. They were right. Making the switch is 100% worth it and here’s why.

My favorite thing about the Diva Cup is that it’s environmentally friendly. This product is perfect for all the tree huggers out there. Think about how much waste is produced from tampons. Using a Diva Cup fixes this. And if you’re always on the go, Diva Cups don’t have to be changed for up to 12 hours. It also saves so much money. Tampons are insanely expensive, and the cost adds up. Buy a Diva Cup once and it can last up to 10 years. And there’s more! Unlike toxic tampons, Diva Cups are chemical-free.

Do your research. The perks of a Diva Cup are endless. Don’t run away because they’re different or weird or because you are too afraid to try it out. Women everywhere love it. Save money and yourselves. Your body is important, so treat it with the best products!
