Leaky Diva Cup
I bought my Diva Cup prior to last cycle. I LOVED it at first, then on my last heavy day it leaked. I was bummed, but then with lighter flow, it was OK again. I chalked it up to bad insertion.
So this cylce started, here we are on bad flow day #1 and I have had nothing but leaks ALL DAY LONG! I have taken it out and re-inserted more times than I can count. I have yet to achieve a good seal today. At first I though it was the tiny holdes which I noticed were clogged. I cleaned thoroughly, but it's still leaking. I have tried a bunch of different insertion positions, spun the darn thing around both ways, done kegels, and tugged to see if the suction was good. Everything FEELS fine until it leaks. I checked and sometimes there's menstrual fluid in the cup, sometimes it's empty. What gives? I'm starting to feel vaginally challenged. ARG!
Edited to add: I have had one vaginal birth and use the size 2.
