The diva cup (and a tilted cervix)

[daisylynn]

I am looking into buying a diva cup. I've heard mixed reviews about it. Even so, I think I still want to try it. But I have a tilted cervix and am wondering if this will cause a problem or any discomfort.

Also, do you have to still wear pads, pantiliners, or nothing?

I use a mentrual cup and do get a lot of leaking - not sure if this is from my tilted cervix though since the cup doesn't sit up that high - mine is more likely from a bit of prolapse. However, it still catches a lot and I wouldn't go back to tampons. I do use cloth liners.

Yup, I have a tilted cervix and the diva cup works great for me. That having been said, I doubt all tilts are the same and you'll never know til you try But the diva cup sits further down the vaginal canal and if it's positioned properly, the orientation of the cervix shouldn't - theoretically - matter.

I have a tilted cervix although mine is apparently backwards from the usual - it tilts up towards my stomach rather than towards my back. I had tons of problems with Instead cups but now use a Keeper and have no trouble with it (it did take me a couple of cycles to learn how to use it properly).

I do not need to use a pad or pantiliner with it since I have no leaks (this was never true with tampons for me).

I haven't tried a Diva Cup because the Keeper works for me, but I'd say give it a shot! Look for a sale - I saw the Keeper on sale for $16 somewhere the other day but unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember where.

I have a tilted cervix and don't have problems. I use a cloth pantyliner to catch any "leaks" (which, for me, is just the blood that drips down while taking it out and inserting it).
