Jeepers Keepers, when did that happen??

When did the Keeper turn into the Divacup? was there something wrong with the keeper?? I use one and haven't found any problems with it. Is the Divacup better? (easier to use/clean etc.)

I must say I'm curious, it looks cool too because its clear hehe I may consider "upgrading" from my keeper to one of these (I'm just such a sucker for things that look new and sparkly LOL)

The divacup is silicone, which is safer for those with latex allergies. it's also probably slightly softer, though I can't say for sure. and i know some people like the little measuring lines on it.

if the rubber of your keeper isn't deteriorating and you're happy with it, you certainly don't need to replace it. if you were thinking of getting another cup to have on hand and want something different, why not go for one of the silicone cups? ;)

I might just do that :) My keeper is fine for the most part, but I did make the mistake of cutting the stem way too short LOL this has the advantage that it doesn't poke me, but it can be hard to remove sometimes!

The only thing I can think of is that the Divacup is
1) cheaper
2) able to be boiled
3) has a one year guaruntee vs. a 3 month guaruntee
4) is pretty (and probably has the potential to come in fun colors, now that I think of it)

I have also heard the Divacup pops open more easily because it is more rigid. The Keeper just can't compete, which saddens me because I am sentimental. The Keeper was first! (well, not really, but the first major comeback. See Mum (http://www.mum.org/MenCups.htm))

Jeezy Pete! No wonder Instead hurt! That thing is *huge*! Okay, now I'm not worried about buying a Keeper/Divacup/Mooncup.

Speaking of The Keeper... mine is starting to get a kind of grainy (sand sized) spackle on it. It's not something that will wash off.. in fact it looks almost like its part of the rubber.

When I wrote to TheKeeper.Com (which is not who I bought it from) they suggested it might be from hard water.

I'm tempted to stop using it, but I've only had it just over a year and I don't want to spend money on another yet. I've had no irritation or side-effects..

Anyone had this experience?
