Diva Cup smell and leaking

Hi. I have had my diva cup for about a year now and I still can't get my technique perfected. I have the size 2 cup since I have 2 children. I usually wear the Diva Cup for 24 hours and then empty it. Once I take it out I notice that it has a smell to it. How can I get rid of that smell? I don't smell it when I am doing my business or anything, only actually on the cup. Also, I use the "C" fold and I make sure to push the cup as far in as I can and then do 1 complete turn, am I doing something wrong?

Any advice or tips definitely appreciated.
