First off, the reason I wanted to dive into this personal experience is because I have a condition called Uterine Didelphs.
This is a Uterus
Notice how it is normal, well, if you didn't know what normal looked like then now you do.
This is Uterine Didelphys. It looks like there are two uteri but the truth is that it is one that is in half, or better put, only half grew on each side.
Each uteri side has it's own cervix and vaginal canal.
Now, I don't have two vaginas people. I get that a lot, no, I really only have one on the outside.
I'm a tiny bit different than what is pictured as my uteri are a little more connected with a wall that separates them, and my left cervix is smaller than my right.
Okay, now you know my medical condition lets move on to the Diva Cup.
The Diva Cup is a menstrual cup. More information on it exactly can be found at the Home Website for The Diva Cup
This will explain in good detail what the Diva Cup is and how it is used, etch.
Okay, now into the more personal stuff. I just had to start using the Diva Cup yesterday, and it's been about 24 hours since I started using it. It took about ten tries to get it in right, but once I did I was very glad. It takes some getting used to, but I found it so much nicer than tampons or pads.
Also, I have not been cramping the way I usually do. Now, that may be too soon to say much because I had a new baby in December and just started my period the first of June. (Yes, I am still breastfeeding for those wondering. I only breastfeed). I'm just one of those lucky ones who have a period while lactating.
I did have some issues with it last night, leaking over night but not until the morning. I looked it up and this usually happens if not inserted correctly, so I figured that's what happened because I know it wasn't the cups fault. ;)
I'll have more updates as time goes on and I get a better hang of it, but I am already loving it, plus the money I'll save not buying tampons or pads.
Let me know if you have any experience with the Diva Cup or just if you have Uterine Didelphys. I love to hear from you. :)
