Meluna Leaks...Diva falls out!!

I was so happy when I got my Meluna! It fit and was really comfortable. But, it leaks! I have to wear a liner. I got a medium. I do have a Diva. I think it is a size 2. The one for women who have had a child. My problem with the Diva is that it poked me and tended to fall out all the time I always felt it, even with the stem cut off. . Not the case with the Meluna. It stays put and doesn't move around at all. But the problem with leaking is driving me crazy! 

I think my cervix is pretty low. I can reach it easily with my index finger. There is quite a bit of suction with the Meluna, I can break it easily but definitely more suction than the Diva. I don't have a heavy flow so I don't know that my cervix is taking up alot of the cup and the leaks is oactually verflow. But it seems like it just isn't all going into the cup??  There is stuff in the cup but also leaking on the outsides. I don't know what is the problem. Any suggestions??
Thanks!!
