Cup Dilemma

Ok I think I could use some advice. I started my cup journey in Feb. of this year and have tried several brands but none seem to fit me quite right and I always had leakage. My cervix was sitting in the cup and it was fully opened(I checked). It wasn't overflow either because it would leak right after insertion with next to nothing in it.  On a whim I bought some instead softcups and they worked perfectly. So here is the dilemma...the only thing that works properly is DISPOSABLE URGGH. This defeats the whole purpose!!! I have heard that some people use diaphragms as menstrual cups but I am in the U.S. and I'd need a prescription for something like that. No Dr. will give it to me because I had my tubes tied in 2005. For those of you that use insteads (particularly the reuasable two pack) what is the longest you have reused a single cup for?
