I use the diva cup. I find if it's leaking it's because I don't have the seal right. Have you tried the trick where after you insert it you twist it to make sure it's fully opened?

I had a diva cup prebaby and loved it but threw it out assuming it wouldn't fit post baby (which was so stupid) because they say you switch sizes.

I replaced it with a Lena cup which I hate, it fits weirdly for me. I do like the stem better which is one of the reasons I bought it over the diva cup. I wasn't too buy something else but we're ttc now so it seems kind of silly when things might change down there again.

I have used a Diva cup for a long time. Went up to a size 2, as recommended post partum. I've always gotten some leaks on super heavy days (comparable to what you get with a tampon). Just make sure you're using the postpartum size.

This is kind of weird to explain, but if you change the cup right in the middle of when your body is getting rid of a lot of fluid, you may get some leakage (just due to the timing of when you're removing and putting it back in). Maybe it's a general seal thing, maybe it's an only me thing...

I usually leak a little for the first 3 days and I use a backup pad.

I have the diva cup and use the larger size. It works great - I like it so, so much better than tampons. The trick for me was making sure it doesn't overlap with my cervix but rather completely surrounds it. I will rotate it a couple of times once it is inserted. If it's inserted correctly it won't hurt at all, whereas if it's overlapping my cervix it hurts to rotate. I sometimes still get leaks overnight on really heavy days, but that doesn't happen much.
