Should I be able to feel the Diva cup?

Kait

I bought the diva cup a few months ago and such a traumatic experience with it that it sat unused for a good while. I finally felt ready to try it again today on Period Day 1. I did get it in and out without too much trouble this time. But

I could feel it standing up and walking around. It was actually super uncomfortable. I tried to push it up a little higher but didn’t dare too much (the first time it got so high I almost couldn’t get it out). The stem was even with the base of my vaginal opening. To the best of my knowledge, it was fully open and had created a seal (supported by when I removed it, I forgot to “break the seal” and just pulled at the base and it made a suction sound coming out).

Seriously what. Am. I. Doing. Wrong. Why are tons of people raving about cups and I can’t get it right?!?! Do all you who use these walk around feeling like there’s a huge thing in your vagina? Waddling around because it’s so uncomfortable to walk? Why can I feel this stupid thing? I’m so frustrated!!
