My cup is filled with joy
It has now been almost 4 days since I first tried a menstrual cup.  The DivaCup to be exact.

I'm a Murphy's law kind of girl so I figured nothing would go right for me and my money would have been wasted.  I just knew I would have to convince my husband that I needed to buy name brand after name brand of cups and then finally find out I would never be able to use a cup for some bizarre reason.

Alas, no.  Today, after only 3 days, I did NOT leak AT ALL!!!!  Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy. 

To quote a friend that recommended cups to me: 
It has revoluntionalized the BLEEP out of my period!!

I'm also a sharing kind of girl.  I have told clients, friends, co-workers, and random people about menstrual cups.  Shout it from the rooftops.  I ALMOST told the girl next to me eating crab legs at the casino.  I didn't because my husband would have been mortified.  If he hadn't been eating his crab legs so yummy and enjoying our date night so well, I would have looked over at her and said, "I no longer hate my period....and that is thanks to a menstrual cup."

I am a success story!!  Sleeping, OMG sleeping with it the cup is just heaven.  No more waking up to gushing and worrying about my underwear and the sheets.  No more sleeping like a mummy on my back just to wake up sore and even more tired. 

I sleep however the hell I want to now.  Seriously, why am I 33 years old and just now making peace with my period?  Oh well, better late than never!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience! It's terrific to hear that it's gone so well for you :-)

I admire your willingness to talk to others about it. I must admit I'm reluctant to bring it up, even though I want to TELL THE WORLD, mainly because I fear an 'ewww' response. But maybe this wouldn't happen that much in reality.

If you ever feel like posting another post re: your experiences with that, I'd bet a lot of us would love to hear about it. I'd really like to know how you approach it and what works best!

P.S. I'm in my late forties and got my first cup this year, so I know what you mean about 'why didn't I discover this wonderful secret sooner?' ;-) But hey, even if the 'pause hit me tomorrow it would totally be worth it. Menstrual cups really are amazing ♥
