Diva Cup
Now this isn't going to be a VERY conventional post but I just learned about this little contraption and I love it! I thought if there were some of you out there that want to
1. save a little money ( costs about thirty dollars and will last you at least a year or more)
2. stop putting toxins inside the body ( aka tampons)
3. help the environment
Then here is something for you!
A lady in my ward is from Germany and at an Enrichment Activity we were to share something that you cant live without. SHe started the conversation as I know you American Women are PRUDE but I feel that you should hear about this and then began to tell about the Diva Cup. Both Ryan's mom and I were pretty intrigued. She wanted to get them for food/emergency storage use since it would be easier to store for emergency than boxes and boxes of napkins and tampons. I thought it would be great to stop spending so much money each month on stuff needed for that time of the month. So we bought them last week and I got to try it out today.
It is a little messier than the tampon but once you get the hang of it (it took a little time to figure out how to insert, took me a couple of times) but after that it is a breeze and really easy. I dont think I will go back to tampons. You take it out dump the stuff wash it and use it again. Then when you are done with your cycle you can sterilize it and they give you a cute pouch to hold it till next month.
So here is your FYI for the week.........sorry if you were grossed out or disturbed but I thought it was good information!

Anyway, I just found your blog from D'ons and so I read a few of your posts. I had no idea that you guys were struggling with infertility. We've been married for 8 years and haven't been able to have any kids either. We've been working with LDSFS for the last 3 years to adopt, and though we've had a hand full of very close calls, nothing's happened yet. I just wanted to let you know that I know to some degree how you feel, and the heartache that comes from infertility. I don't have any friends who are trying to adopt, so I haven't found anyone who can truly relate. I can tell from your posts that you are a strong woman. Very strong. And you have a beautiful spirit. I will keep you and Ryan in my prayers, and I just know that one way or another, good things will happen for you two. I'm going to keep an eye on your blog and hope for happy news!
