Not anymore. A piece of silicone is revolutionizing the way that women think about their period. The DivaCup is a silicone cup that is inserted into the vagina. It collects menstrual blood and can be worn for up to twelve hours. Unlike tampons, there is no risk of toxic shock syndrome and the cup can be worn again after being thoroughly washed.
The DivaCup is changing the world because it helps women save money and take charge of their period. Jezebel estimates that women will spend about 120 dollars a year on pads and tampons. Divacup is reusable and eliminates the need for women to need to rebuy tampons and pads every cycle.
The DivaCup can be distributed to homeless shelters and women living on the street so that they can feel more confident while on their period. It will save women a substantial amount of money every year. It can be used by in variety of other ways to make women feel empowered.
