Period protection is finally covered.
Making period care more accessible is always on our agenda. And that’s why we’re thrilled to let you know that under the CARES Act, menstrual cups and discs are now considered medical expenses.
Make use of your FSA or HSA to buy comfortable, convenient, and cost-effective DIVA™ products directly from ShopDiva! To make the process even easier, we’ve put together a list of FAQs.
An FSA (flexible saving account) or an HSA (health savings account) is made available through your group benefits program. With either account, you can use pre-tax income for medical expenses. Now that period products are considered “medical expenses,” your DIVA™ Cup or Disc is eligible for coverage.
Let’s get into the nitty gritty.

Yes, yes, yes! You can now use FSA or HSA funds to buy a reusable menstrual cup like the DIVA™ Cup. Honestly, we believe menstrual products should have always been considered medical expenses, so we’re so excited that they finally are.
When paying for your DIVA™ Cup on ShopDiva use your HSA card or submit the receipt as proof of purchase for FSA reimbursement. Or, if you bought one in the last several years, you can get the cost covered retroactively as far back as January 1, 2020!
Note: Even though our ShopDiva checkout recognizes the DIVA™ Cup as FSA/HSA eligible, we cannot confirm that your coverage will accept your purchase as so. Always check with your provider before purchasing.
