I thought you were going to ask a pregnancy related question... that's what *delicate women* usually mean, no?
As for the Diva Cup - yes, I am told they are available in Korea... as to where, I have no clue. Ask your ob/gyn doc? |

Oh, no, actually I found a special forum for women who are pregnant in Korea.
Thanks for the info. |

Yes, and I am on that forum, too. Not that I am pregnant, but the board is for all expat parents, right? |

i've not ever seen menstrual cups in a storefront in korea, but they sell for cheap on iherb.com. http://www.iherb.com/Diva-International
i brought mine from home, though - got it from a nice locally-owned feminist sex shop. try finding one of those in korea.. |

there are lots of reasons why gals don't use tampons. many commercial brands have irritants in them that increase cramping and bleeding, for one. the waste and extra packaging doesn't jive with tree-hugging gals, for another. i find they're more comfortable and work better, for longer. |

Ok, let's really make this delicate. As an Australian, the concept of a menstrual cup is very foreign to me. I don't know of anyone who's used one there. So can you answer some questions as to the benefits they provide:
Besides the waste issue, why use them instead of a tampon?
How long can you leave them in for?
Do you just empty them into the toilet?
Do you have to wash them before you put them back in?
How do you wash them?
Can your partner feel them during sex? |

How long can you leave them in for? 8 to 12 hours
Do you just empty them into the toilet? yep
Do you have to wash them before you put them back in? yep
How do you wash them? soap and water, then boil
Can your partner feel them during sex? you have to take it out

You can find lots of answers at www.divacup.com
But basically, see above. |
