To be pissed off with my divacup

Beem using a menstrual cup for a couple of years now. On my second make (tried Diva and Organicup) and I'm just fed up.
The first few months were great, and I was evangelical about it. Since then, however, it doesn't seem to work. It leaks all the time. My periods aren't heavy. I've tried countless ways and positions but it just isn't working for me.
I'm using reusable liners to save my pants, but the point of using the cup is to avoid using anything else.
I really, really don't want to go back to tampons, but I'm getting so frustrated.
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks,
Ags.

Thats strange OP
I have the large mooncup . I cannot lie that my vagina is not her best self after my 9.5lb dc . But it doesn’t leak . Ever . Do you put it up as far as you possibly can ?

It's not 'strange' - it's a pretty common (and annoying) occurrence.

I had to get a shorty xl as my cervix low and I was putting it on behind my cervix. I still use reusable pads anyway.

Do you think you could be putting it in so its not actually occluding the vaginal canal after the cervix?

I still have to sit my cervix inside the cup and there isnt enough room for the cup itself after the cervix. You could be having a 'low' couple of months.
