Where can I buy a divacup in England? Like from a shop instead of online??
Question: I quite fancy trying one.
The website is www.divacup.com.
They sound so much cleaner than tampons and pads.
Does anyone know where I can get one around the Gateshead area? (near Newcastle)
Answers: The Divacup is only one type/brand of menstrual cup, they are a Canadian based company so you can only really buy online, they have a UK based web site - http://www.dcltd.co.uk - they charge £19.99, but you are best off going for a Mooncup.
The Mooncup is a UK based company who's menstrual cups are made from medical grade silicon like Divacup but are slightly softer and with a smaller shape, if you go to the All About Menstrual Cups page - http://menstrualcups.org and have a look around you can find some comparrison photos between Mooncup, Divacup, Keeper, Lunette and Instead, as well as all you ever need to know about menstrual cups.
Mooncup - http://www.mooncup.co.uk/wc.php?u=33 - is sold in Boots stores as well as health stores. The Mooncup only has a three month money back guarentee, rather than the 12 month guarentee period given by Divacup, but that is plenty of time for you to try them out and send back if not for you.
If you go into the bigger Boots store in Eldon Square they have their menstrual product section in the far left-hand side of the store near to the checkouts and back entrence, you'll find menstrual cups on the bottom shelf near the tampons, you can also get menstrual cups in the Boots on Northumberland road and in Silverlink.
They cost £19.99 in Boots which is one pound more than on the Mooncup web site but it means you don't have to wait for it to get to you in the mail and shows Boots that there is a demand for safer menstrual options.
As far as I am aware Boots are the only places that stock them near Newcastle at the moment, there was a health store in Gosforth that sold 'alternative' menstrual options, but they along with many other health stores in the Newcastle area have closed.
Menstrual cups are a lot cleaner than tampons and pads, not to mention far safer - unlike tampons they do not cause vaginal infections nor are they linked with TSS or cancer as tampons are - menstrual cups don't contain nasty chemicals or allow bacteria to multiply in great numbers. Menstrual cups also allow your vagina to carry on self-cleaning, this means you only have to empty them every 12 hours and you can wear them to bed without having to worry about health risks.
A lot more convenient, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, nothing shows on the outside, perfect for heavy flow, body-positive, ethical manufacturers, generally far better than tampons or pads.
I've been using my menstrual cup for around 5 years now, I'd never ever go back to using tampons and pads.
Boots, most pharmacies, even my local health food shop sells them. I would try a silicone as opposed to a rubber one.
They're great, would never go back to filthy towels and tampons.
Try a health foods store, if they don't have them there you can buy one online.
I'm a DivaCup user myself and they are SOO much better than tampons and pads. There are so many advantages to having them. They're healthier for you, better for the environment, better for your money, better for active lifestyles, better for traveling (No need to lug around a box of tampons!). I'm sure you won't regret the decision (= Good Luck!
idk but I l the England that is where am spending my summer next year.
I am sure if you go online and check things out about the diva-cup, you will also find out where they sell this product.
