For those ladies that use menstrual cups: Do you have leakage issues?!
Question: For those ladies that use menstrual cups: Do you have leakage issues!?
I've been using the disposable instead cups- before I buy a DivaCup!. But I'm having leakage problems with it!. I'm sure I've got it in right and it's not popping out!. I don't know what the deal is!. But now I'm concerned about spending the money to get the DivaCup because I'm afraid the same thing will happen!. But I've heard that reusable cups are much more reliable and fit to your body better!. This is just getting really irritating b/c I have to keep switching back to tampons which irritate my vagina!. Any suggestions!? Should I just bite the bullet and risk the DivaCup not working!? ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well I haven't ever used the Diva Cup, but I do use the Mooncup UK, which is a menstrual cup, just a different brand!. I had a little leakage when I first started using it!. But after like two tries, I never had any more problems (unless I waited too long to empty it and it overflowed!.!.!. oops)!. I think you should try it!. Do your research before you buy!. There are more brands out there than the Diva Cup, although it is the most popular brand here in the U!.S!. I frequently visit an online support forum for menstrual cups!. It has brand comparisions, insertion techniques, and how to prevent leaks!. Plus a lot more!. If you want to check it out, the link is below!. Hope I helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

never used them before sorry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I used to use Instead!.!.!.I loved it, but switched to tampons because I decided that I didn't like dealing with the mess at changing time!. I didn't have leakage though unless I left it in too long!. Could you be leaving them in too long or are they leaking pretty much right away!? It is also possible that you don't have it in right even if you think you do or they are simply too big for you and won't work!. If tampons irritate you than I guess you would either have to bite the bullet and buy the DivaCups or go to using pads, but that would suck!.!.!.so uncomfortable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
