TL;DR Cups keep getting stuck inside me, Will a ring stem be easier for removal? How does the meluna compare to the Diva (small) Lunette (small), and LUB (medium)? I had no leakage issues with any of them and they were all comfortable. It was just the removal that proved extremely difficult.

Reusable woven pads can be a more eco-friendly choice. They have a button on their wings to stay in place. I'm sorry cups didn't work for you((
I am not sure if my opinion will help, I hope it does. I have used meluna with a ring ( classic medium and soft large) as well as LUB. As far as meluna goes, I do not use them anymore. I think it came down to TPE. It behaves different to silicon. So once I'd put the melunas in, they would stay at the depth I put them in and where they popped. They never traveled up to the 'sweet spot', I could always feel them and it was uncomfortable. So I am thinking that might work for you, but not sure about the comfort level. LUB was pretty good, but only on my high cervix days. Another thing, I've read on here, some users have tied dental floss to the end of the ring on meluna which helped with removal. Sort of like tampon string. Hopefully someone else writes with their suggestions and you can find a solution to your problem. All the best
