After PG#2, diva doesn't fit anymore!

[sedalbj]

I got a Diva cup after I had DD, and loved it (size 2). Tried it after DS, and it just doesn't seem to work anymore. No matter how i put it in, it is irritating. i shortened the tab when i got it, but am thinking of cutting it off completely. will i be able to grab it? It has been 2 years (1+ yr since i got my period back) and i can't figure it out.

I had stitches with DS, maybe they stitched me up differently? Anyone else have this happen, any words of advice? I will ask my MW when I go for my annual, but i don't think she uses one....

Me too. I had also stitches. The removal is too painful. I had to change to cloth pads.

I had stitches too, and while it's never been as clean of a seal I still use it paired up with a panty liner and it typically does the trick.

I found it irritating at first, but I think it just takes time to find the right (and maybe new) position because now it doesn't bother me at all.

My first few times around, my cervix wasn't allowing it to open properly...it's a little more "hands-on" these days to be sure positioning is right, but sometimes are trickier than others.

After a year of trying it again though, I doubt that any of these are applicable to your situation though. ....I wonder how other brand names might compair? like the Keeper or the Moon Cup?

I trimmed the stem completely off my Diva, it's the only way it was comfortable.
