shortest but widest cup?

I originally started using a Keeper close to 10 years ago.  It dry-rotted during my pregnancy with my first child, so I got a Large DivaCup when I started having AF again.  The problem now is that I've had three big babies and am really stretched out there (even the OBGYN says as much).  My Large DivaCup will not stay in place.  I have cut off the ( Read more... )

Brand-Size-WxL
Fleurcup-Large-46x52
Lunette -Large-46x52
Lady/Color Cup-Large-46x53
Miacup -Large-46x53
Diva-Large-46x57
MPower-One Size-47x54
Yuuki-Large-47x55

It looks like the only ones with a larger diameter are the MPower and the Yuki but its not by much but the Fleurcup and Lunette both size large are the shortest in length but still have the same diameter as the Diva

The Diva inside out would be about the same length as the Large Lunette and the Large Fleurcup

*sigh* I really think I need something bigger around, not just shorter. I have a feeling even a shorter cup is still going to fall out just from me being up walking around.

I might try those. They do look bigger around! Just a bummer that you can't reuse.

You can, actually! I used Insteads for several cycles before switching to a Keeper Moon Cup, and I was able to use a single Instead Cup for an entire cycle. I'd just empty, rinse, and re-insert, and pitch it when my period was over. Some people even reuse them for multiple cycles, washing them at the end as they would a reusable cup.

Yes, you CAN reuse them. Rinse and reinsert. You can either use one per cycle or sanitize until next month and keep reusing the same one(s) until you don't trust them any more.
