Pain, Divacup, help!

[ladyjai]

Ouch, sorry to hear about your difficulties. Have you looked at the diva website? There are lots of helpful hints there.
Are you folding it and keeping it folded during insertion? Did you get the right size?

I'm folding it, have difficulty keeping it folded. I"m going to try Dianyla's suggestion.

I did get the right size. seems so big, lol.

I learned this "7 fold" from another forum:

thank you! that might do the trick, 2 folds is driving me nuts...

Remember, if your jaw is clenched the other end clenches too!

LOL

Lastly, you may find a MoonCup to be more comfortable. I heard that DivaCup improved their cup design to make them softer and more flexible, but the DivaCup that I owned and used for a year (purchased in spring 2004) was considerably stiff and hard. Also, the MoonCup is a little bit shorter and that seems to work better with my anatomy.

thank you. I'll keep that in mind.


drplasma, I did try that too. got a little further.

runnergirl, I hope that is not the case! but thank you :-)

thanks everyone for responding
