Mia Cup /Diva Cup Review

September 30, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 4 Comments

cup closeup“Despite all the  progress that’s been made since the early 1900s, little about tampons or sanitary pads has really changed since they were first introduced almost one hundred years ago. Miacup is a modern, liberating way to deal with menstrual hygiene and one that solves many of the problems associated with traditional, antiquated methods.” – excerpt from Miacup Website

Unable to test this beauty out myself I passed it onto a fellow female friend who had this to say about her experience with Miacup.

Miacup Pros

* Pretty neat & compact

* Easy to insert

* Wears comfortably

* Easy to clean

* Great for overnight

* Comfortable During Sport

* Loves the cute storage bag that Miacup comes in.

* Money saved can be spent on other things.

* Less landfill waste

* No flushing sanitary items down toilets etc ( not that she does but there are people out there who STILL flush tsk tsk )

Miacup Cons

* I wouldn’t use it on my heaviest day if I was out and about as it is not the most discreet thing to clean in a public toilet. ( my solution to that is to but 2 or 3 cups and carry a spare, put used Miacup in a          plastic bag, seal it, then pop in storage bag. OR don’t wash it, you don’t have to wash it every time )

* Needs lubricant on very light days.

* Can be daunting to insert at first ( don’t let that stop you, remember the first time you tried a tampon – now that is daunting )

    I have a Moon Cup (which is almost identical) and it’s brilliant. I can heartily recommend them to anyone, even those with extremely heavy flows. 🙂

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
