DIVA™ Reusable Menstrual Underwear
How to use Period Underwear

Before wearing, machine wash in cold or warm water at a maximum 30 degrees Celsius. Use mild detergent and a delicate setting. Hang to dry. Do not bleach, iron, dry clean or tumble dry.

After wearing, we suggest immediately rinsing with cold water, squeezing gently, until the water runs clear. If you have DIVA Wash handy, lather a small amount into the gusset and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. DIVA Wash is not a replacement for laundry detergent.

DIVA Period Underwear absorbs up to 9 regular size tampons worth of menstrual flow.

Choosing to hand wash, while not necessary, can help extend the lifespan.
Fill a small tub or sink with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Swish the detergent through the water to mix in and dissolve, and place your period underwear in the water.
Gently massage and release a few times before leaving them to soak for 10-15 minutes. Reusable period underwear may need some time to saturate properly—thanks to the ultra-absorbent internal layering.
After leaving it to sit, gently massage the underwear to get anything left in it out. The water might look a bit murky at this point—that’s how you know it’s working! Empty the water from the tub and rinse each pair under cold water until the water runs clear. Hang to dry.

Getting Started with the DIVA™ Cup

Sanitize your Cup
Before using your DIVA™ Cup for the first time, sanitize it in a pot of boiling water for 5-10 minutes.
Tip: To prevent damage to your Diva Cup should you forget it's boiling, place your cup inside a metal whisk. This will keep your menstrual cup from touching the bottom of the pot.
Learn How to Fold your DIVA™ Cup
There are two ways to fold your menstrual cup: The U-Fold and the Push-Down Fold. Both are easy to master and suitable for beginners.
U-Fold
Flatten your DIVA™ Cup and pinch it in half to create a U-shape.
Push-Down Fold
Hold the top rim of your DIVA™ Cup. With your index finger on the edge, push the rim down into the centre of the cup base to create a triangle.

How to Insert a Menstrual Cup
Wash your hands and get comfortable. While sitting on the toilet, or standing with one leg up on the bathtub, gently separate your labia with your free hand. Take a deep breath and relax your pelvic floor muscles.

Insert
Hold the folded cup between your thumb and forefinger and push the curved edge of the folded cup into your vagina horizontally.

Rotate
Once the DIVA™ Cup is in your vagina, grip the base of the cup (not the stem), and turn the cup one complete rotation—360 degrees. This will create a leakproof seal.

How To Remove Menstrual Cup
When it's time to empty your DIVA™ Cup, wash your hands. Pinch the base of your cup to release the seal. Never pull a menstrual cup by the base without releasing the seal first. Keep the cup pinched while gently easing it out, and empty your flow into the toilet, sink, or shower.
Wash your hands, wash your cup
Before insertion and after removal, wash your DIVA™ Cup with a mild, artificial fragrances free, oil-free soap like DIVA™ Wash.
Store it
Always use the cotton pouch to store your DIVA™ Cup between cycles. Keep your DIVA™ Cup away from perfumes and never store it in an airtight container.

FAQs
Yes. The DIVA™ Cup is made from 100% medical-grade silicone with no added chemicals (no BPA), latex, dyes, or plastics. Also, if properly cleansed and cared for, and there are no signs of deterioration—your DIVA™ Cup is safe to use for up to several years.
Yes. DIVA™ Period Underwear is made without added PFAS—a group of harmful "forever" chemicals that may be reproductively toxic, endocrine-disrupting, or cause skin sensitivities, and is manufactured in an OEKO-TEX® 100 certified facility to ensure safety and comfort.
Ultra-thin 4-way stretch fabric conforms to your body for secure comfort and protection.
Our unique DryTec™ fabric gusset wicks moisture away from the body into the leakproof internal layers for all-day dry comfort. These super absorbent layers hold up to 9 regular tampons (45ml) worth of menstrual flow.
Our zinc oxide infused gusset keeps you feeling fresh and comfortable all day. Zinc oxide is known for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, and comes from a naturally occurring mineral, zincite, that has safely been used for thousands of years. It is used in many of everyday products.
We recommend at the end of each cycle; the DIVA™ Cup may be submerged in an open pan of boiling water (continuous rolling boil) for 5-10 minutes. Do not leave the boiling pot unattended and use enough water so that the pan does not boil dry.
Please know that boiling is not “mandatory”, it’s just a recommendation. Some consumers do not boil their cups at all, as regular cleansing with soap and water can be sufficient to maintain the integrity of the silicone.
Our period underwear is great for providing all-day confidence and
protection.
The 10" ultra absorbent gusset means maximum coverage,
replacing the need for 9 regular size tampons. Wear them alone or as backup with a DIVA™ Cup or DIVA™ Disc.
As the DIVA™ Cup is a personal care product, we recommend that you inspect your cup regularly for signs of deterioration such as a sticky or powdery film, severe discolouration, odor, etc. If you detect any deterioration, or if you experience irritation, we recommend you replace your DIVA™ Cup with a new one.
The lifespan of your menstrual cup may vary, depending on vaginal pH, how often and how well your cup is cleansed, what cleansing agents are used, etc. Our general guideline is that a DIVA™ Cup can last up to 5 years, but it is ultimately up to the consumer to decide when to replace their cup.
