Leakage and Fit?
StarSapphire Thu Jan 02, 2014 7:08 pm
Hi Ladies!
I came across this forum in my search for info about modifying the fit of my cup, or the cup itself. I used a Diva 2 for about 8 years. Had a baby, got another Diva 2. All along, I've had leakage with the Diva 2 to the point that I've had to use a maxi during the entire period. After the baby, and my growing dissatisfaction with leakage, I thought I'd try another cup. Looking at a comparison site, I decided to try the Meluna L Original. It leaks even worse than the Diva2! The Meluna is stiffer and the rim is just a hair smaller.
I am experienced with proper insertion and every blue moon, I'd get a good fit and wouldn't have any leakage at all with the Diva2. But, that is typically a rare occurrence and not even every cycle.
I am almost 42, both kids are by CS, and am married, so somewhat sexually active. lol
Does anyone have a suggestion? Has anyone else experienced this? I know how to fold, insert, and remove without issues. Occasionally, I would feel the Diva "slap" open but never felt the Meluna open though when I pulled it out it was always open and had blood inside.
Suggestions? I've often thought that there may be some variance in my internal shape but never had an OB/midwife comment about it. Oh yeah, and I have crazy short fingers so I have a hard time sticking them up far enough to reach the rim once the cup is inside.
