I was due for a new Diva Cup but I decided instead to try something new. The Meluna just got FDA clearance here in the US so I ordered the Classic Meluna XL with a ring stem. I have very heavy cycles and can bleed through my Diva Cup in 3 or 4 hours for the first 2 days so the XL capacity is great. However, I'm having the worst time getting my Meluna to unfold. This is my second cycle with it and I can't get it to unfold regardless of which fold I use or how I try to insert it (on the toilet vs. squatting). I'm very frustrated with it and think it's just not for me.
What should I look for next? I need something with a large capacity. I have a very high cervix and very heavy flow. I don't have any trouble inserting the Meluna which is quite a bit bigger at the rim than my Diva Cup. I don't mind purchasing internationally though if there is something similar in the US that'd be great. I still have my Diva Cup and have been using it on and off, I'd just like to try something different!
TIA!
