The wonders of fleece.
I first heard about lunapads from a good friend of mine. She gently nudged me toward the website… maybe a couple times… and told me how much she liked the DivaCup especially (life-changing I believe was the term she used).
I received my DivaCup a few months ago, and unfortunately, it was eaten by my cat. (True story. Remember, ladies, to keep it out of reach of kitties. I have NO idea what possessed her - she’s usually not a chewer.) My SECOND cup arrived not long ago, and I’m looking forward to figuring it out.
The kitty did NOT eat the Mini Pantyliners I bought, however. These are the greatest. They really are SO much more comfortable than those sticky, disposable things. Nothing like adhesive where NO adhesive should be… In the past, I’ve hidden all my supplies from my husband (my issue, not his). It was all taboo stuff. Who wants tampons and pads around your new husband? So embarrassing. Though we dress together, I’d never consider gluing in a panty liner with him in the room. But now that I have the Lunapads, I have no qualms buttoning one on with him around. I’m comfortable having them in the laundry (which he does, bless his soul), or having them around in general. It just seems so much more natural. These things aren’t taboo - they’re cute (his words) and fun. I don’t think I could ever describe tampax that way!

Hi Melissa, I remeber you calling and telling us how your kitty ate your DivaCup…you’re the only one so far, a special kitty you must have. I love the photo of you, it’s very still. Thanks for sharing your story with us and kudos to your husband for knowing a good thing when he sees it!

I got the diva cup for my oldest daughter who is in high school and there is no time inbetween classes to change pads. She loves it. My youngest recently started her period and my husband thought it was “normal” to wear a pad and insisted. Needless to say it was no fun. I bought her the lunapanties which she wore without a problem for her second period. She calls them her big girl underwear. She is very visual and words are more difficult for her. so I thought it was cool that she named her underwear. Thank you so much for lunapanties!
