Tampon/Cup change time comparison

I am currently on my 6th cycle with the diva cup and I'm still loving it WAY more than tampons. I was just wanted to ask if you have noticed a difference (or not, in my case) in how often you empty your cup when compared to how often you used to change tampons. I would change tampons every 3-4 hours on my heavy days and it seems that it hasn't changed much with a cup =/ I was hoping for the ideal cup experience of only emptying twice a day but oh well. Today I am trying to leave my cup in until it is absolutely full (no longer than 12 hours of course) to see if maybe I've just been paranoid and stuck in tampon mentality for the past 6 months. I look forward to reading your responses/experiences/advice/etc.
