Which brand should I get?

So I ordered the Diva Cup without even realizing that there were any other options a few months ago. Once I got the hang of it, I liked it, though it always leaked, despite using all the tricks to make sure it was in right. I chalked this up to the fact that I have VERY heavy periods, and at least now I wasn't bleeding through pads at the rate I was previously. (When I say VERY heavy, I mean I half fill the cup every 3-4 hours for the first three days of my period.)

But, I have a young puppy and accidentally left my cup in a spot she could get to after my last period, and turned around to find it in pieces. Whoops. So now I need to order a new one and I was wondering if I should try a different brand. Is there anyone out there who couldn't get the Diva Cup to stop leaking but found success with another brand?
