[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should probably be another thread, but how does one change a diva cup? I always imagined emerging from the stall at work, with bloody hands, furtively trying to sink the thing in the sink, only to slink back into a stall to shove it back in...[/quote]

Yeah, sounds gross to me.

Those of you saying you would be dead if you only changed it 2x - TSS was with a specific brand of tampon that is no longer on the market.  The warning is only there to protect the companies.  No more risk of TSS.
I typically change 2-3.  On the pill so very light flow.  [/quote]

I wash it in the morning and evening at home.  If I do need to change it once at work (on the kind of day I would have been switching out tampons every 1-2 hours), I just empty it, wipe it with a tissue and put it back in.  Admittedly the first few times I did it my hands got messy but then I got the hang of it and it's not an issue at all.  Practice at home first.  It's life changing.[/quote]

I bring a minipack of wet wipes into the stall with me for wiping the cup and then my hands afterwards. I dispose of them in the tampon/pad trash bin in the stall. It's only 1-2 days per cycle that I need to empty the cup mid-workday.[/quote]
