Diva Cup - Giveaway Contest!

Guess you know by now that I am a big 'GREEN' fan... from Eco-friendly toys that are BPA free to using of 'Green' products like cloth diapers... and venturing on to 'GREENER' things like Reusuable Feminine Menstrual Pads... things which people, especially ladies in Singapore and Asia, seldom hear off...

Guess which product is "GREENEST" at the momnet on Mummy Knows Best's plate??? It's... (drum-roll)....

The revolutionary DIVA CUP...

'The menstrual cup was first developed in the 1930’s. Then it was made from rubber latex (an allergen for many). Millions were sold in those first years by multiple companies.'

Why switch to Diva Cup?

'Landfills are over-taxed with feminine hygiene products. In 2000, over 55.9 million women (in the U.S. alone) were monthly users of disposable feminine hygiene products that are “dumped” into the environment each year. Great resources of energy are used in the manufacture of these products. In addition, the additives and surfactants they contain pollute rivers, streams, and oceans.'

Start of Diva Cup

'Thus, over 15 years ago, Francine recognized the need for an alternative to unreliable disposable tampons and pads and found a company offering menstrual cups. She and her daughter, Carinne, singlehandedly resurrected the 75 year old menstrual cup concept by reintroducing this product to the world market when it was virtually unknown. They sold this rubber/latex version for 10 years.

In 2003, drawing on their experience and expert knowledge about the menstrual cup category, they developed a modern redesign, made from soft, top-quality silicone, to meet the needs of today’s woman. They launched their own company, Diva International. Their revolutionary concept, The DivaCup, is patent-pending and ISO certified. Today, The DivaCup is the preferred choice.

The DivaCup Team has over 38 years of combined experience in natural feminine hygiene alternatives. Their passion is to provide women an environmentally responsible, convenient and reliable alternative to tampons and pads.

“Not every woman can afford a hybrid car nor easily convert their home to solar power. Yet, by choosing to use a menstrual cup instead of disposable tampons and pads, any woman is able to make an environmentally responsible choice each month. This is no small matter. In the U.S. alone, billions of tampons and pads are dumped into landfills and the environment each year.” Carinne Chambers

“With all the state-of-the-art conveniences Western society has developed, it baffles us why outdated feminine products are still being used. We believe that reusable menstrual cups are the next generation of feminine hygiene because they are the most environmentally responsible choice. They are also the most convenient and reliable option available and are not linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome.” Francine Chambers.'
