Diva Cup Model 1 vs. Model 2

Many women feel uncomfortable using sanitary pads or tampons when they menstruate, and fortunately, there is another option that is safe as well as convenient: the Diva cup, also called a menstrual cup.

Menstrual cups are flexible and designed to fit inside your vagina where they collect blood. In most cases, these cups are made of silicone or rubber, and there are two sizes to choose from.

Comfortability is just one of the many benefits of using menstrual cups but choosing the right Diva cup for beginners can be a bit confusing — which one will be best for you? Here is a brief comparison of Diva cup models to help you determine which Diva cup size is right for you.
