Need help with new cup!!

Long time lurker, first time poster!
I just need some suggestions for a new cup...I've been using one for almost two years now, and I love it. Makes life so much better!! I used to use the Diva Cup size one (availability reasons mainly) but I would always leak on my heaviest days. So because it almost felt loose on my heaviest days, I got a size 2. Wayyyyy better for leakage, I never leak anymore! I think thats a bit weird because I'm only 21 and haven't had kids, but I don't leak like I did with the size 1. However, I think its too stiff because it puts pressure on my bladder and colon, which makes life a bit difficult, and it makes my cramps worse :( my flow is really heavy on the first three days and then I just spot for another few days.
So I think I need one thats wide like the size 2 Diva Cup, but maybe a bit softer? Any ideas? I'm in Canada, in case that affects things.
