Question for anyone who uses a menstrual cup: I have the size 2 (large) diva cup and every time I try to use the damn thing it won't fully open and leaks. Also I was twisting it to try to position it right to fully open and it increased my cramping by like x1716638393836. Is the large too big for me? It says to buy it if you've had a child. Ugh stupid cup 😒😤😑

@theinkedmommy, uses one and she bought a smaller cup because the diva cup was too big

Sometimes the fold you use doesn't work with your anatomy. Also I'm still using the 1 after birth and notice some leaking but whatever ♀ it works lol

Try the punch or just regular c fold? Those open the easiest. Also hardest to insert I know. I wanted to like the origami fold so bad because its the smallest but it doesn't pop open as well. If you're not leaking a lot though I'd leave it. Might adjust itself later with normal activity.

@mamaofindierose, There's many types and sizes of menstrual cups. I'd try getting the Luna Cup in a size small. What fold are you using to insert it?

@mamaofindierose, I use the push down fold, it works best for me. I actually did a video about the cup, too! If you're interested in watching. 💗
