The first month I used SJ, I had some challenges opening it but because I was pretty new to cups I assumed that was normal and stuck with it - pretty soon I had no trouble opening or removing it at all. I use either a c-fold or somewhere between c and punch-down.

I'd definitely recommend pinching the bottom for easier removal -- I've never tried the Diva, so I don't know if that's similar or not. Either way, since you found it comfortable, it seems like trying for another month might be worthwhile, even though it sounds like you're in the midst of a new learning curve.

Thanks!

I will definitely try the SJ again this cycle (about to start any moment now). Pinching the bottom didn't seem to release the seal last time - I kind of had to pinch AND fold it back up towards itself, which was pretty uncomfortable. I found a few new techniques online though, so I'll definitely apply those too. Thanks for the encouragement :)

I'm sorry

Did you ever manage to get the Super Jennie to work for you? I've managed to get mine to open, but removing it is very painful for me as well. I pinch the base to break suction and then fold it back into a C before pulling it out, but it always hurts when the rim comes out.
