Diva cup/tampon/cramps question

[Bernadine]

I don't wear tampons, because they tend to make my cramps worse. Would the diva cup do the same? I'm sick of pads, and seriously considering trying the cup.

[papie]

I haven't been cramping much since I've been using the diva cup. I don't know if it is the diva or the fact that I had kids, but there are barely any cramps compared to what I used to have.

I haven't used the diva cup, but I used to use Instead which were disposable cups. I liked those much better than tampons. So I would give it a try.

They didn't seem to worsen things for me, although my cervix gets tender mid-menses so I use cloth that day.

Because of what mamasaurus said, the diva has been awesome for me. Tampons rub against the whooole surface of my cervix while the diva generally just rests against the very bottom edge.
