Nice smell. Effective for maybe an hour or two. Gentle on intimate bits. The main issue is they are extremely difficult to remove from the pack… Read more

without tearing them. From the other reviews, it seems the company has recently changed the paper to be more flushable and eco friendly, and while I'm all for that, this style of packaging does not work with these more fragile wipes. They truely are just like a pile of soggy paper. Perhaps if the pack had a wider opening you could more delicately lift the top layer out??? Would probably work well in a travel size Huggies refillable baby wipes container that can be opened. I wish the company made a moisturiser style cream that you could just squirt onto toilet paper before wiping. That would be compact and tear free as well as being completely flushable.

Comfortable cup, not durable – It was a good cup, easy to use and comfortable. However, mine developed a crack within a few months (only about 6 uses) making it unsafe to use due… Read more

to a risk of bacterial build up. I was surprised because the product is advertised to be used for years, so I contacted customer service but they said they don't cover normal wear and tear. It's disappointing that a company doesn't care that it's product becomes unsafe within a few uses and this is considered normal.

Worst menstrual cup that I have ever used. Constantly leaks – I've used a different brand of menstrual cup before I purchased diva and have not had any issues with it. HOwever using Diva has been a really… Read more

terrible experience and I would not recommend it to anyone, please purchase Luna cup instead.

I am constantly having leaks with diva, it does not open up properly when inserted inside, even if you try to adjust it. It's embarrassing because a number of times I have inserted it and went out only to find out I was having a major leak and has a blood spot on my pants.

I know this is not because I am using it incorrectly as I never had this issue with other menstrual cups.

I don't know what is wrong with it, but it is certainly not suitable for its intended purpose.

GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!

I bought the Tulip menstrual cup hoping for the usual eco-friendly period solution everyone raves about. Soft silicone, cute tulip shape, easy to… Read more

fold… perfect, right? Well, let me tell you how my experience went completely off-script.

One lazy evening, curiosity got the better of me. Instead of the intended route, I decided to see what it felt like in my rectum. I folded it nice and small (the punch-down fold worked best), lubed it up, and gently slid it in. Holy hell. The moment it popped open inside, the soft rim pressed right against all the right spots. It felt incredibly pleasurable—like a perfectly shaped, flexible plug that hit every sensitive nerve without any discomfort. I ended up wearing it for hours just because the subtle fullness and gentle pressure felt so damn good. Way better than I ever expected from a “menstrual” product.

But here’s the story you actually came for: the time it got stuck.

I was feeling bold and left it in during a long solo session. Everything was amazing until I tried to remove it. The stem was slippery, the cup had suctioned itself in beautifully, and no amount of bearing down or tugging would budge it. I panicked a little, imagining an awkward ER visit. After twenty minutes of awkward squatting, deep breathing, and finally using a mix of warm water and gentle pulling while relaxed, it finally released with a satisfying “pop.” I was equal parts relieved and strangely turned on by the whole ordeal. Lesson learned: trim the stem shorter next time and don’t get too carried away.

Overall, the Tulip cup is surprisingly versatile. Great quality silicone, holds its shape, and apparently doubles as an unexpected source of anal pleasure. Just be careful—once it opens up in there, it really doesn’t want to come out easily. Would I recommend sticking it in your rectum? Only if you’re adventurous and prepared for potential stuck-cup drama. 4/5 stars.

couldn't use them. I'd rate them 0 in terms of absorption, comfort and value. Haven't met a single person who has liked their products yet the online reviews try to tell a different story. Also rate them 0 in terms of ethics as you can see most good reviews for their products are fake and written by people who've either written no other reviews or written reviews exclusively for Toms products only and ofcourse rated them 5 star for all.

packet of pads usually lasts me the entire week, these super pads are so thin, they're basically liners. I went through over half the pack in a single day and was constantly stressed I was going to leak through- which i did, numerous times. This is not even remotely eco friendly, nor wallet friendly. Spending at least 5 times as much as normal with how many I would need to purchase to last a single period. I would honestly be better off buying the cheapest, nastiest panty liners from the dollar store and they'd do a better job.

and going to always. I’m sure you thought you were saving money by going to cheaper adhesive and cheaper packaging and just a cheaper all around panty liner, but myself, all of my femalesfamily members and friends are leaving this brand due to the recent changes in the product. Going cheap doesn’t always pay off.

Adhesive is so important for pads, and U by Kotex was once top tier for that. Sadly they've let their quality control slip. Due to medical conditions… Read more

my periods are very heavy and often occur more than once a month. I started buying U by Kotex when Libra's quality tanked and the pad staying in place kept me buying it. They dropped the amount of adhesive (or changed the type) a while back which has led me to only buy sporadically when my other brand was sold out. Unfortunately my hopes that this brand would return to the quality they were once known for is dead in the water. If anything, every time I've purchased them they've gotten worse. Now they're not even as good as the brand you get from The Reject Shop.

I hope it was a man who did QA testing on this because if it was a woman we have to blame malice rather than ignorance.

I've since gone back to Libra who so far seem to have fixed the quality of their products. Let's hope that holds out. It's hard enough being a woman in this economy I don't need to throw my money away.
