Hi ladies -


So which one is better to use to hold the spermies up? Instead or Diva? I have never tried either.


Thanks,


Anna

I have used the instead cups and they are awesome. I haven't used a diva, but I looked at pictures of them and they don't seem like they would hold the "goods" close to the cervix. I HTH!

Hi...I'm new here, and I would love to know what Diva or Instead cups are!!!!!!


I'm CD10, so we will be BDing in the very near future, and I could use all the info I can get!

Hi -


They are normally used for AF but people use them to keep the sperm close to the cervix after BDing. My sister has used them for AF. Sounds to me that the Instead would work better for the TTC purposes but Diva is better for AF.

I haven't really looked yet. But I saw some places online. Walmart seems to have a good price on them.


Are you going to try them?
