Popping open/suction issues?

I've been stalking this community for a while but this is my first time posting :) I apologize if this shows up wrong or something...
I got a small size Diva a few months ago. 14 year old virgin. Everything's going fine except for one problem. I really couldn't find another post that answered my question. Whenever I insert my cup it's all good, seems to be sealed and all popped open. Nothing but punch down really works for me. But within five minutes I usually feel a weird punching thing, really more surprising than painful though. It works fine before and after this happens and I've never had any leaks, so I'm not sure if it's just popping itself to the right spot or something. A few times this hasn't happened, and I really can't figure out what I did differently. Is it because it's too big for me? I'm about 2&3/4-3 inches to my cervix. I've been looking at Ladycups and Lunettes. My mom got me my Diva and I asked her for another, but she said it wasn't necessary. (I don't think she gets really how much bigger it is) What do you think is the problem here?
