Diving, periods, and the Keeper?

[BethanyW]

I have a question about the Keeper menstrual cup. I recently aquired one and it seems like a potentially interesting option for dealing with periods and tiny or nonexistant bathrooms on dive boats.

However, I'm a little concerned since they create a certain amount of suction when used. This strikes me as a potential problem at depth. Has anyone used one with success while diving?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a beginning diver with visions of getting squeeze in embarrassing places.

Hi there and welcome to the board Bethany. The main thing here is that in order to have a squeeze, you need an airspace. So, as with tampons....this shouldn't cause you any problems.

Peace,
