Hey K! do you know where I can find a comparison of different menstrual cups? Or your own personal opinion, I searched the site but couldn't find much. I'm thinking of taking the plunge! (no pun intended, some look pretty plunger-like though haha)

Hey J! Wait, I just realized… are we the women in black?!

I don’t, sadly, have any personal opinions on brands since I’ve only used the Divacup (and clearly love it). Haven’t gotten around to checking out the others yet, though I’ve been wanting to. Diva and Lunette are the easiest to get ahold of in the states, since they sell both on Amazon and Diva is also available at REI, so one of them is probably your best bet. The main difference between the two that I know of is that the Lunette is a slightly softer silicone, making folding easier.

These are pretty good resources, though:
