How do I know it’s in???

Question

Hello ladies, I just very recently got myself a Diva Cup! I’m still trying and getting used to it, I’m learning about different folding techniques and such, but I’m struggling to know when it’s in properly? 
I very faintly leak, but I don’t know if that’s just from putting it in and not actually a leak. I do a few squats after putting it in to make sure it sort of moves into the right position but I just don’t know what i should look for! 
It says that it’s in properly when you can twist it around, but I’m not sure my anatomy is letting me twist it? I tried but it’s kind of stuck and won’t let me move it around except for in/out movements. 
Help ladies!🙆🏼🙆🏼🙆🏼

Answer

I was never able to get the twist right either. I always thought I had it in right until one day I leaked so bad it’s like it wasn’t even in there and I finally found out I had to stick my finger up my vagina and feel on the sides of the cup. I felt that it was still slightly folded and not open all the way so I just pushed on the side and it popped open. Now every time I put it in I reach up and push on the side. Now the only “leaking” I have is a little bit of brown blood from the outside of the cup from inserting it. Since it’s brown I know it’s been sitting on the outside of the cup for a little bit and it’s not fresh leakage.

Answer

I use a different one but if it’s anything like mine.. I put it in and when I think it’s in place a pull a little to create a suction. If that makes sense??

Answer

I also couldn’t twist my diva cup. The little leak you have may be blood from around your walls while you inserted. Run your finger along the rim and make sure it’s open. I always had problems with diva so i switched.

Answer

What I like to do to make sure it's opened all the way is to start pushing from underneath the fold to pop it open once I have the cup about three quarters of the way in and then push it the last little bit to make sure there's suction. To get it out, I use my muscles to push it (think squeezing your abs) and once I've got a grip on it, I'll slide one finger along the side of the cup to release the suction because otherwise it drags and hurts more when you're taking it out. The more times you use it and get a feel for what works for you, you won't even notice it!
