this is my second question today--i'm a new cup user. i really appreciate everyone's feedback! sometimes i hear air escaping from my vagina. it seems to happen if i get up from sitting/reclining to go...that it's too small for me.... last night i had a really, really messy leak--woke up to blood all over at 6 AM (i posted about this earlier). my cup is a small keeper, btw, and i've never had a baby

I just started using a cup (Keeper). I can finally get it in without a struggle (7-fold) and once it's in, it's comfortable and works fine (although I think it may be moving when I go from lying to standing...it at all--may vagina grips it so firmly. Any tips? My roommate, the one who introduced me to cups, has been using hers for years and has never had a leak. I would love to have that experience! Thanks

Hi, second time posting here and a new cup user.  I recently purchased a set of small and large LadyCups which arrived mid-cycle and this is my first cycle on them.  Main point of this post is to ask about...side?  I have made sure that the stem is sitting outside the body so it's not the stem poking around in there. Q2: Does everyone who have leaking have this "diluted" blood?  Is that normal? Thanks!

Like so many other women here, I've watched this community for a while and was a cup noob until I decided to give it a whirl. I heard about Instead from my husband (what are the odds of that?). He heard...has never said anything so I'm assuming it's normal, but I'm not 100% on that. Any ideas or advice from you cup experts? Should I just resign myself from using Instead and try a reusable cup

Hi everyone! I've been using a Diva Cup for six to eight months now (I can't remember the exact month I got it anymore) and by the spring of this year I thought I'd had all of the problems worked out...be living in the dorms again - which makes the "mad dash" nigh impossible, because even if I were to make it down the hall, there's no guarantee that any toilet or shower stalls will be available. :

Hello! I am new to menstrual cups and this is my first cycle with my brand new Mooncup UK. The very first time I used it, it went really well, no leaks, brilliant! But after having emptied my cup and...ways to fold up your cup? Are there pics of that or can someone give me instructions, please? Thanks! I really want to get the hang of my Moncup. After all, it went so unbelievable well the first try...

 Okay so I just got the divacup yesterday night and I am having soo much trouble with it. I am only 15(almost 16) and a virgin. I was so excited to try this out since I'm a vegan and love the idea of not...sitting or laying down. I was just wondering was going on! Also when I try to remove it it hurts like crazy. Like and unbelievable amount of pain. I try to break the seal but maybe I'm not doing it right

Hello! I've been reading a lot of the archives about finding the right cup, but am still not quite sure. A year and a half ago I bought a Diva Cup 1, and after the initial what-the-hell-am-I-doing period...on how to "vet" a new cup? P.S. Additionally, but not as important, I have experienced some discomfort with the Diva Cup when farting or having a bowel movement. Is this normal? Am I using the wrong cup

Hi. :) I've had my cup for... maybe 4 or 5 months. It's the smaller model, because I'm 13. But I'm thinking maybe a different brand or model, because the one I try to use now leaks every time. And when...isn't very long at all. I'm mostly using my cloth pads, because I've gotten a little tired of my cup leaking on me. The cloth pads work for me fine, but I'd love to be able to use a cup. Any help

It seems my DIVA is gonna leak no matter what I do!!  I've tried EVERY THING!! 1-make sure it's SEALED via twisting/rotating 2-SWISH finger around to remove residual 3-turned it INSIDE OUT 4-locate............ So I finally decided maybe the DIVA isn't the RIGHT cup for me.   I ordered & am waiting on a green LadyCup. I do hope this one is for me.  If you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know.
