114.. I wasn't even remotely crunchy before having a baby - not even close, but I seem to get "crunchier" with every child. Works better for me and my babes!
Also the diva cup (actually mine is a lunette) is one of the best things I've ever bought! Once you get the hang of it there's less mess than you would think, and no leaks, less cramping/soreness is SO worth it. I couldn't believe how much less painful my periods became when I stopped using tampons.
Also hell to the no on using it for postpartum bleeding - pretty sure you aren't going to want ANYTHING near your vagina for the 6 weeks after. (Unless it's a c section, and then I have no idea)

It's actually an infection risk to put anything up there after birth regardless of the type of birth. I assume b/c it's not a regular menstrual flow. There is tissue and blood and all kinds of stuff coming out. And I believe that even if you didn't go into labor, your cervix may still be more soft and open than usual, which can increase risk of uterine infection.
Re: Crunchy Quiz
I didn't read the intro to see if it was limited to pregnancy, motherhood, etc but there are other things that I thought they could have asked.
- public transportation, riding bike, bike share
- recycling
- etc
60, pretty crispy...
Interesting!
