Mooncup leaking help!

[merlinkitten]

This is my second cycle using the mooncup. My first cycle I used it on my lighter days to get used to it and this cycle used it right from the start since I figured I'd got the technique right and knew what I was doing. Wrong! My first light day was great, and I used it overnight with success. However, I used it yesterday on a heavy day and had a

this is pretty much what I was going to recommend - but with more, detail, which actually helped me figure out my own recent issues too lol :) thanks!

I got a size 1 Eva Cup last year, but then had trouble getting my cycle back after hormonal birth control, so I didn't use it for a while. When I started trying to use it in anticipation of a cycle starting, I realized it was too big, and was sticking out, so I got a MeLuna shorty. the shorty fits great, but now that I have my cycle back and am actually using it, I'm finding that it's too small capacity-wise... and I think in my case, it may actually be too small (since I went with the Shorty size) to properly fit over my cervix, which does get kinda dangly... so it's probably not properly sealing, so in my case it's having some leaking issues constantly, and significant leaking after it's been in for a while. so, I'm thinking I'll keep both, and have a 2-cup arsenal... one for heavy days, and one for light days / spotting (or if the MeLuna Shorty is still a bit small on those days, I'll sell it and upgrade my "small" cup to something slightly bigger).

Definitely is an interesting-but-frustrating game / science figuring these things out lol... but I think the benefits are so totally worth it :)
