Comments on: Finally! (Day 238)… http://greenasathistle.com/2007/10/24/finally-day-238/ making one change every day to greenify my life (and hopefully not being too smug about it) Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:21:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Krysta http://greenasathistle.com/2007/10/24/finally-day-238/#comment-15913 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 03:39:47 +0000 http://greenasathistle.com/2007/10/24/finally-day-238/#comment-15913 I read your book a few weeks ago, which brought me here. I just wanted to let you know that I purchased one of these crazy Diva Cups today and I’m excited to use it. I would never have considered buying/using one of these if it hadn’t been for the amazing review you gave it in your book. I’ve been using reusable pads, but they are too bulky to wear with my work clothes, so I still throw away tampons every month. Maybe this will be the solution! Yay to never buying another tampon!

I found your blog today and have faithfully read from day 1 to here. Gotta stop here though and will pick it up again tomorrow for the final third. Anyway a friend from Canada bought me a Diva Cup. Well, I was a little freaked out by it at first and it sat in a draw for a month and half (ie I didn’t use it on the first oportunity) but the friend kept asking me about it so I summond the courage the second time opportunity knocked. It was a bit weird at first but I have never looked back. LOVE IT. Today I was talking to another friend about it and we are going to order 12 over the internet and give them to our sisters and girlfriends. I haven’t seen any here in Australia yet but I think the carbon miles are OK to save tons of product going into landfill.

However, doing yoga one morning, I was in a downward dog, lifted one of my legs up in the air and started pushing it back in the direction of my head…and heard that signature pop of the seal breaking. Needless to say, I was extremely grateful that I was home and could run to the bathroom to avert disaster. It’s the only time I’ve ever had a problem, but I’m extra careful to empty the thing *before* I do my yoga. My hips are really loosely jointed and some of the poses I do apparently pull my cervix out of its normal cylindrical shape, thereby allowing the cup to leak.

So you are warned. But I have to say, I still love the thing unconditionally.

My question is: I live in Brazil. How can I get that for my girlfriend?

Has anybody else noticed a shift in self esteem using these things?

My first month, there was a bit of eww, and I treated my (non-reuseable) cup just as mom taught, (wrap it up in toilet paper before throwing it away so as not to offend anyone’s eyes…)

My second month, I found that I actually enjoyed seeing the beautiful, vibrant, and alive color RED (vs. the stale blood color of tampon) — it made me feel healthier and happier just looking at it.

Here in the San Diego area, I found the Instead cups (non-reuseable) in a CVS Pharmacy. I think it’s pretty darn cool that a greenish product is found in pharmacy not particularly known for green products! I tried them, liked them, and now I’m ready to try the Diva cups. With Instead opening up the cup market, I think Diva will soon be able to reach many more people than just us crunchies… my question, when is the IPO planned for?
