Diva Cup fail

4 replies

I've been using a Diva Cup for the past year after reading about it on here. I love it - the idea of it, the convenience, the ease of use. However, the last couple of months have been somewhat disastrous. I've leaked almost every time I've used it.
Nothing has changed. My periods are no heavier and I haven't changed my method of use.
I would really hate to stop using it, but I'm using a towel at the same time at the mo, which kind of goes against the point!
Just wondering if anyone has any pointers or advice? Perhaps you've had the same problem and have been able to sort it??
Any tips would be gratefully accepted.
Ags.

Didn't want to read and run but I'm not sure what the problem could be. I use a moon cup and find it great. Used it a few years now and after the first few months I've had very few issues except over night on my heaviest day (when I stand up first thing I often feel a leak from the change in position). Is there defo no issue with it having opened up fully inside? I also have to pull the stalk forward to tip the cup backwards slightly as my cervix is tilted, could that be an issue?

I would look up precious star pads on YouTube and ask her. I wonder if a different cup would suit you better or a new technique

Thank you both.
I have wondered if it might be a tilted cervix issue - I know mine is a particularly awkward bugger!
I've ordered a different make today, so will see if that helps.
It's a real pain, not least because it's been great for the best part of a year.
Will keep persevering. I'm determined to make it work!
Thanks again for responding.
Ags.
