| ok so I'm trying out my DC for the 1st time today. I need a little help. 1. How do I know if its in the right spot? 2. Its pressing on my bladder and making me feel like I need to pee, even though I don't. How can I stop that?? Its annoying. 3. Why is it leaking? I've read and re read the instructions and I thought I followed them...but I'm having troubles

SophieBomb, how long have you been using the divacup? I'm really excited to try mine but I'm just curious was it uncomfortable the first time you tried it or did you instantaneously like it? I'm so excited because I dread wearing pads and I hate tampons. For the first time in a long time I actually want to come on my period to try this thing. Last month was my first time actually!!!  And I fell in love with it! At first, it was ackward but I got the hang of it within days. If it's uncomfortable, it's because it's not inserted right. It should feel like you're wearing a tampon; like you're wearing nothing... Can I give you a tip though? Instructions come with the Cup; once inserted, you will need to make a full rotation to make sure it's placed right. That's the only thing I found somewhat difficult... So what I did was I rotated it AS I am inserting it. I found it much easier that way... (You might want to have some KY handy; I found water didn't do the trick.) Also, I found the tip (for easy removal) a little too long (I found it uncomfortable) so I trimmed it. Just make sure you don't trim it too much; otherwise it will be almost impossible to remove it... Wear it as is for the first few days and you'll figure out what's comfortable for you!

i use the keeper - similar shape, different material. the only thing i can think of is that it may be sitting too low. maybe try pushing it up a little further. this may be why it is leaking and pressing on your bladder.

| the leakage is probably due to not doing a rotation as someone earlier suggested. if it's not turning then try to take it out, moisten it, and re-insert. I know it's rather awkward at first until you get the hang of it. also, there are 2 sizes. if nothing else works, contact them and say you need the bigger size (if I am not mistaken they are guarenteed). and finally, some people have different shaped bodies and it just may nto work out. I know 2 people who it just would not work for. Give it a good try first though, because this is unusual. Good luck and congratulations on joining the Diva Cup users club!!!
