Yes, absolutely. I …
Yes, absolutely. I know LOTS of virgins who use them. In fact, I have a 12-year-old cousin who uses it. just as long as you don’t live in a family/culture that values keeping your hymen until your married, because cups (and tampons) will break the hymen. But if you don’t live in such a culture, there is no reason to have a hymen. Some women are born without one. For virgins, I usually recomend a small ladycup, small lunette (if you can get one) or small Green Donna (identical to lunette).
Would you recommend …
Would you recommend these for a 15 year old girl who has only had her period for about a year? I’m obviously a virgin, so I am not sure if I am too “tight” or not. I had a little trouble getting in a tampon for the first time. I’ve only heard of older women using a menstrual cup, although it says 11 and 12 year olds can use them on the website.

Hey… I was wondering, and you probably can’t comment on the board but could you message me about my question… Which brand do you prefer to use? I like the Lady Cup but I want to know what the general consensus is… What si everyone’s preference?
Thanks! I think …
Thanks! I think I’ll try to get one to see how I like it. I was going to ask my doctor about it, but I’m worried she might be like a lot of doctors/ ob gyns that have been saying that it’s a “germ container, etc”.
Thanks again. I guess I might have to flip it out, but we’ll see.
PS– personally, I …
PS– personally, I do have to flip the DivaCup inside out to make it shorter/smoother.
I’m not sure if …
I’m not sure if Canada has LadyCup in stores. For many women, the Diva cup is ok length wise, but there are a few women who are a bit “shorter” who have to switch brands later. Also, if you find the Diva a bit long, you can flip it inside out. That will make the texture smoother, and the cup shorter. If you really don’t want to order online, I would say try the Divacup.
I was wondering if …
I was wondering if you personally thought that the Diva Cup was too long. I would rather get one of the coloured lady cup, because it is shorter in size and because it’s coloured.
I would rather not buy one online. The Diva cup is at my local health foods store, because it’s manufactured in Canada. (That’s where I live) I also don’t know if I want to pay a large amount of money for shipping….
Your thoughts?

I have had a size 1 Diva for at least half a year, but I cannot get it to work completely; it always rides up very deep, so it can’t catch all the blood like it’s supposed to. I can rotate it inside of me, and I can tell that it’s popped open, but it still teleports way up there! I was considering getting a different brand. Is there one you recommend for those of us who can’t seem to keep the thing low enough to do its job?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks.
Thanks.

The holes are to help draw in air to break the suction. That helps to make removal easier. Good luck with your new cup!

I would love it too if more people posted cup videos. I’m proud that I own them and I love to spread the word! lol
Great vid. I wish …
Great vid. I wish that everyone who own (s/ed) a menstrual cup made a video, whether it’s just them saying “I own a mentrual cup”, or going into detail with their experiences.
Maybe that could be something your YouTube group could do. Post a short video saying that they own a cup (w/ # of periods), or are interested in them, or they have questions. I’m totally wanting to do that. I might post one tomorrow!
