How many years can I use the DivaCup menstrual cup for?
We are unable to make any claims that the DivaCup will last for a specified amount of years as making such a claim is a violation of Medical Device License holders by The FDA and Health Canada. However, the silicone used in The DivaCup, which is 100% hypoallergenic, latex-free and odorless is the same material and grade used for permanent medical body parts such as heart valves, joint replacements, etc. The material is very durable, and with proper care, The DivaCup should last for many years. The DivaCup can be boiled to sterilize the cup, and rubbing alcohol can be used to help remove the natural discoloration. The material and the cup itself should last indefinitely, but since it is a hygienic product, some women prefer to replace the cup every year or two. The DivaCup is a great investment and pays for itself in 3 or 4 months for most women.
