How is the DivaCup different from tampons?
The DivaCup is different from tampons in a few important ways. For one it’s reusable instead of disposable. Because you’re not throwing it away, you don’t have to buy a new one each month or after each use. This is great because it will save you tons of money, as well as dramatically reducing waste. Other important differences are what it’s made of and how it works. The DivaCup is a menstrual cup made of 100% medical grade silicone and contains no dyes or chemicals. Tampons are typically manufactured from rayon and may also contain absorbency-enhancing gels, perfumes, bleaching agents and other chemicals. The DivaCup works by catching your menstrual flow, whereas tampons work by absorbing it. We like the DivaCup better because tampons often deplete your natural vaginal moisture along with your menstrual flow, therefore putting you at risk for acquiring Toxic Shock Syndrome, not to mention feeling dried out.
