The instructions booklet makes it sound like the cup isn't supposed to cover the cervix or go in so deeply. That's just false--it sits over the cervix for many people, including me, and that's fine.

My hunch is it's a liability thing. Cup companies don't want to get sued if a person had to go to the doctor to get the cup removed because it was out of reach (I believe it can always be removed eventually, but someone might panic), or because a person forgot it was in because it was so deep.

It doesn't have to fit over your cervix - everyone's anatomy is different. For me, if I don't get my cervix into the cup, the cup slides up past the side of my cervix and that does me no good at all.
What size Selene do you have? I'm surprised to hear it's squishier...
although I think it's been mentioned on here that the large LadyCup is squishier than the small, more or less due to the larger surface area.

I have a small lunette selene :)

My small selene is squishier than my small lady cup too. I think the small lady cup is pretty springy/poppy. My theory is that its the large lady cup that is super soft.

I prefer the lunette, but the lady cup is was easier to get in. But removal, the lunette wins.

Agree on all points. The LadyCup slides right in practically by itself, but is harder to remove. The small lunette, I've had to try several times before successfully getting it in but I can remove it a lot faster than the LC.

A lot of people find that their cervix just wants to sit inside their cup--without any effort on their part. If their cervix is very, very low (like mine), or even just because of the way they're built inside, around the cervix is just naturally the place their cup wants to sit.

Other people may make an effort to aim their cup at their cervix during insertion because otherwise there's a risk their cervix will sit outside the cup, and not accomplish much at all in terms of catching their flow. However, just because you insert your cup and push it up around your cervix doesn't mean it will stay there--if it wants to sit somewhere else, it may move around a bit. But as long as the seal was formed with your cervix on the correct side of the cup, this shouldn't matter.

I have a Lunette which I use every month, and also a LadyCup which I bought around the same time that I've used for a dry run or two, but never "for real" even though I've had it for 6+ months now. I actually don't like the stiffer, gummier texture of the LadyCup as much as I like the squishy Lunette. Things are crowded enough in my vag with my super-low cervix bashing itself on my pubic bone, that it's really just better for me that the cup conforms to my shape as much as possible rather than vice versa. ;)

Wow! Thanks for the feedback everyone. Yeah, from my using of Lady Cup, I never could spin the cup when it's inside me because it was so slippery. (One of the method to check that it s completely sealed)

Hmmm...I am not sure if I am going to like my Lunette Selene. I quite got the hang of inserting and removing my Lady Cup. I am afraid of the not slippery surface of the Lunette which might make it a bit painful to insert or remove. Honestly, during my period I think I am more dry down there. It was much easier when I did a dry run when I have enough lubrication.

May I ask why you decided to buy a second cup?

I just like how Lunette Selene looks :P hehehe

And it should be good for my heavier days.

Plus, I thought all cup would be somewhat slippery, just not as much as Lady cup. But Lunette is not. A small lunette is just slightly larger than a small Lady cup but has much higher capacity. This is why I decides to get it.

Ah, probably because of the placement of the holes.

Yepp :)
