I just got my first postpartum period and am having issues with my size 2 menstrual cup slipping down. I turned it inside out, which makes it way more comfortable, but I am now wondering, should I have stuck with the pre-childbirth size 1 cup? Does anyone have any experience with this sizing issue?

I haven't gotten that far post-partum yet, but I would think if it is slipping then maybe it is too small? Turning it inside out would make it bigger too. I think if it works that way for you, go with it. The pre-birth size would be smaller I think.

I thought that turning it inside was more comfortable because it was making it shorter, so it won't fall OUT. I am kicking myself for throwing out my size 1 diva cup since I could have a comparison. I had this same issue with my diva cup, so I bought a size 2 lunette since it is supposed to be shorter in length, but is looks exactly like my size 1 diva sizewise.

Anyone?

Sorry. Mine's not slipping but I'm having trouble with leaking. It's only the second time I've used it post partum. Maybe I'm rusty at putting it in.

My size one diva cup felt too long post partum. I bought a size two sckoon cup after researching shorter cups and it's much more comfortable.

@JennyD: are you spinning it a full 360 degrees to seal it in? I also check the outer edge to make sure it's in the right place and fully open/expanded. I freaking love menstrual cups and never want to go back to tampons ever again. This bums me out that I am also having issues making it work!
I just ordered a size 1 lunette since I'm fairly certain that the size 2 is just too big for me. I have a small & low cervix AND my flow is light to medium, so I just don't need the capacity of the size 2. I also plan on asking my gyno next week when I go for my annual exam, just to make sure it isn't something like wimpy pelvic floor muscles causing this.
