After a baby...

[penguinsteph]

I used a small UK Mooncup before I had my baby, and found it usually didn't leak, but did make period cramps worse and I always needed to take it out for number 2. I bought a small Ladycup to try but got pregnant before I could use it

Yeah, things change down there when you have a kid. Not always forever. Don't forget to keep up on your Kegels. Add squats for your butt muscles and lower abdominal crunches to your exercise routine. They all work together.

Check out the size charts to see what you think you might want next: http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups/1285963.html

Thanks, and yes I need to do more exercises. :/

How far post partum are you? Yes, it may sound like a stupid question but my daughter is 2 and I've only had 4 postpartum periods in a weird completely irregular pattern. I would hate for you to buy a bunch of new cups if you are only six weeks out and have no idea where you are going to end up.

I bought a large Diva shortly after delivery and by the time I got my period back it was too big.

Nearly 14 months... my first period since was this week, only 3 days though. I hate getting sticky so I want to get something new, but don't want to have to try too many as money is short and I'm living in Japan so postage could be expensive. Thanks for the info. :)

cups will move a little and settle where they want. Are you leaking because the cup is loosing contact with your vaginal wall?
your lady cup should be softer have you tried this one? Same or different experience?
If you find you like the lady cup but the same result the Large can be bought for cheaper on eBay
