  Viva la Diva!

  I bought one of the sea sponges that come packaged as alternatives to tampons and although I followed the directions to keep it clean, I promptly gave myself an infection with it. I've shied away from the Keeper because I find latex to be irritating to the sensitive parts. So for years I've just settled for non-applicator organic tampons and GladRags.

  I was really happy to find the silicone Diva a few months back, and it's already paid for itself in money I've saved for not having to buy tampons. My favorite part about the Diva is that there really is none of the odor associated with menstrual flow, even when I remove it. And most of the time I don't notice it at all. It's great for sleeping with and traveling with. I agree with Arianna - trim down the end as it's quite painful when it pokes.

  I keep a container of water by the toilet, and empty the Diva Cup into it. Then I water my houseplants and pour it near my greens outside - the celery seems to love it. My ex-girlfriend used to dilute her blood and put it in a spray bottle to mist her orchids with. They absolutely thrived on it.
