I didn’t use a cup until later after birth but I’d guess your cervix is likely lower than before? Diva cup is not a good pick for low cervix. What issues are you having exactly?
I honestly am unsure. It was very uncomfortable and difficult to place. It didn’t matter how I positioned myself or the cup, it just wasn’t right. I even googled to see if I’d forgotten an important step. It’s been three or so years since I’ve needed to use it.
I will definitely check that out! It was silly of me to think nothing changed down there for me since I didn’t deliver vaginally. Thanks for the info and reply!
See, I used it only for maybe six months before getting pregnant the first time. And haven’t really needed it since. Lol sucks that it is painful. I don’t think it hurt me, maybe it did I have a good pain tolerance, but I definitely could tell something was wrong! Are you good to use tampons ?
Is it sitting too low maybe? You could try trimming the stem or turning the cup inside out which gives it a much better design in my opinion. I found the stem super irritating even after trimming it.
That’s a good idea! My first thought was how would I get it out without the stem lol but I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard once the initial panic has subsided lol

@romeowhiskey, I bet you need a different size based off cervix length. Try Putacupinit.com. They have a size chart for all cups and a bunch of info!

Did you move to the other size? They have to models.

So I actually had a csection. But I do plan on getting the other size to try. Is there something better than diva cup ?

I could never use that thing and I’ve had three hurts like hell

@romeowhiskey, yup those are fine but only regular ones 😂 cups are pretty hard but might take a few different ones

@romeowhiskey yeah I never had a problem getting it out. I just grab the bottom part and it's not slippery or anything.
