The DivaCup is one of the oldest menstrual cups on the market, available since 2003. It is manufactured and packaged in Canada and was the first ISO 13485:2016 certified menstrual cup manufacturer and head office in the world, under the Medical Devise Single Audit Program (MDSAP) . The DivaCup is B Corp Certified.
The DivaCup is made with medical-grade silicone that is free of BPA, chemicals, plastics, and dyes. DivaCup has always used unpigmented silicone because they don’t want to add any extra, unnecessary ingredients like dye to their products. The DivaWipes are compostable wipes that can be used to clean the menstrual cup when you’re away from home and don’t want to use the public bathroom sink.
