DivaCup Model 2 (Age 30+/Heavy Flow), 1 unit

Product Description

Model 2: Recommended for women age 30 and over and/or for women who have delivered vaginally or by caesarean section.

There is not a big difference between the two sizes (Model 1 is 1/8″ (~0.3 cm) smaller), but it is important to use the recommended sizing to prevent
leakage. We recommend Model 2 if you are 30 years old or older even if you have not had vaginal childbirth or a c-section because as we age, our hips
naturally widen and the vaginal muscles lose elasticity. Because the vaginal muscles hold The DivaCup in place, it is important to use Model 2 if you are
over 30, even if you have not had children.

Please note: if you find tampons and routine pelvic/vaginal exams to be uncomfortable, it may be best to first consult with your health care provider
as the Model 1 cup may be right for you. Our model sizes are recommended, but since women come in all shapes and sizes, it is difficult to determine
the vaginal size.

The DivaCup®

It goes where? I have to do what? Yes, you wear The DivaCup in “there”, in your vagina… but we promise, it is not as scary as it sounds.
In fact, your body will thank you for giving it the period care it deserves.

The DivaCup is a reusable, bell-shaped menstrual cup that is worn internally and sits low in the vaginal canal, collecting rather than
absorbing your menstrual flow.
Menstrual cups have existed since the 1930s when women were searching for an alternative to the choices of the time.
Yet, its breakthrough into the feminine hygiene industry is much more recent.

Many women feel uneasy about changing their menstrual care routine. Years of dealing with the sights and odors of disposable tampons and
pads cause the familiar reaction: “ick!”. The DivaCup empowers women to connect with their bodies and menstrual cycles like never before.
Perfect for all activities (air, land or sea), its easy care and use make for a better period experience. Wear The DivaCup for up to 12 hours
without leaks or worry.

12 Hour Leak-Free Protection
According to consumer research, 60 percent of women experience leakage every month when using tampons and pads! Rest assured,
with The DivaCup your days of racing to the washroom to survey the leak damage after a sudden “surge” are over.
The DivaCup can be worn up to a maximum of ten (10) – twelve (12) consecutive hours and should be emptied, washed and rinsed
a minimum of two (2) – three (3) times daily. The DivaCup is made of soft silicone that actually softens with body heat.

Because of this, the cup forms to your body.

The “Ick” Factor
A common response we hear when we tell women (and men) about our product is “Ewww! That’s gross!”. With our culture’s fascination
with disposables it’s no wonder this response prevails. However, once you take the time to learn about The DivaCup, and actually try it for yourself,
you will be surprised at how clean and comfortable it really is. Plus, unlike tampons and pads, by catching your menstrual flow in its unique
bell-shape, The DivaCup gives you the opportunity to learn about your monthly flow, educating and empowering you about your body and your health.

Your Flow
Don’t let your imagination get the best of you. Removing The DivaCup is not at all like a scene from a horror movie. The DivaCup conveniently
holds one full ounce of menstrual flow (30 ml). As the average woman only flows approximately 1 to 2 ounces (30-60 ml) per cycle,
The DivaCup is the ideal menstrual solution to care for your cycle. In fact, many women are surprised at the amount of flow and expected
that there would be much more!

The convenient ounces and milliliters measurement feature of each DivaCup allows women to keep track of their flow and report details to their

health professional if needed. Tampons and pads are not a reliable or scientific method of determining flow, because they come in many absorbencies,
contain surfactants and moisture control agents.

Odor
Menstrual flow only begins to develop an odor when it is exposed to air. As The DivaCup is worn internally, your days of worrying about period
odor are over. Menstrual fluid on tampons and pads is exposed to air which creates odor throughout the day. For the first time, The DivaCup will
leave you feeling fresh and confident the entire day!

Ideal for Women of All Shapes and Sizes
The DivaCup is suitable for women of all ages, sizes and lifestyles. When most women are first introduced to The DivaCup they are surprised
by its size and often ask us “will that even fit?”. Unlike the cylinder shape of tampons, The DivaCup is shaped like a bell. We assure women,
whether age 13 or 33, that there is nothing to worry about.

The vaginal canal is an elastic, muscular tube only about four (4) – five (5) inches (10.2 – 12.7 cm) long and is designed to stretch and return
back to its normal size.

We know this to be true because our vaginas do just that during childbirth or intercourse.

For those concerned about the hymen, please consult your physician before use of any internal feminine hygiene protection. As for all other
gynecological concerns, we suggest you consult your physician. This will help you make an informed decision!

Sex, Birth Control and Anatomy
It is not necessary to remove The DivaCup for urination or bowel movement; however, as The DivaCup sits low in the vaginal canal, it cannot
be worn during intercourse. The DivaCup is not a birth control device and should not be used for this purpose. The DivaCup is regulated by
the US FDA, Australian TGA and Health Canada solely for use as feminine hygiene protection.

Please note the following when using The DivaCup with an internal birth control device such as an IUD or NuvaRing®.

The DivaCup is worn low at the base of the vagina and away from the cervix. This means that it should not interfere with an internal birth
control device. However, please use caution when using any internal feminine hygiene product with an IUD as there is the possibility that
they can be dislodged. When using The DivaCup, it is important to carefully follow the directions in our User Guide, paying close attention to
inserting The DivaCup low in the vaginal canal and breaking the seal (suction) before removal. Many of our customers use The DivaCup with
an IUD or NuvaRing® simultaneously, but we recommend that you become familiar with your birth control device’s risks (such as the body
expelling the IUD, etc.).

As with any gynecological concerns, please consult your physician prior to using any kind of internal feminine hygiene product,
including a menstrual cup.

Lifespan
Silicone is very durable, but we recommend that you inspect your cup regularly for signs of deterioration such as a sticky or powdery film, severe
discoloration or odor, etc. If you detect any of these signs or if you experience irritation we recommend you replace your DivaCup with a new one.
Depending on the factors unique to each woman, like vaginal pH, how well and often the cup is cleaned, what cleansing agents are used, etc.,
the lifespan may vary. Since The DivaCup is a personal hygienic product, a general guideline is to replace it once a year, but ultimately, it is
up to the consumer to decide when it is necessary to replace the cup.

Low Cervix
Many women with a low cervix find great success with The DivaCup as the cup is designed to sit low, at the base of the vaginal canal, away from
the cervix. However, as every body is unique, we recommend speaking with your health care provider before trying The DivaCup if you have
concerns about cup placement and low cervix.

There is not a big difference between the two sizes (Model 1 is 1/8″ (0.3 cm) smaller in diameter than Model 2), but it is important to use the
recommended sizing to prevent leakage. Both cups are approximately the same size in length (2 1/4″ (5.7 cm) with another 3/8″ (just under 1 cm)
stem for a total length of 2 5/8″ (6.7 cm). The stem may be trimmed to adjust for comfort.

Will The DivaCup Get “Stuck” or “Lost”?
The vaginal canal is an elastic, muscular tube only about four (4) – five (5) inches (10.2 – 12.7 cm) long! This means that the vagina does not
connect to other parts of the body so The DivaCup cannot get lost. When inserted correctly, The DivaCup should sit low at the base of the canal,
away from the cervix.

Colors and Dyes
The DivaCup is exclusively available in a natural un-pigmented silicone. We considered manufacturing The DivaCup in colored silicone but
decided against it because the skin, including the sensitive skin of the vaginal walls, should not be exposed to dyes, chemicals, etc. Although colors
are fun, adding other components such as pigment particles, along with chemical additives required to bind the particles to the silicone, create
additional risk to the base chemistry of the silicone. Diva International feels that this is an unnecessary risk to take as there is still a possibility
that the particles or other chemicals may not bind properly and could leach into the body.
