Re: diva cup anon again

I use the origami fold, and it does pop out pretty easily for me. Like the other anon said, sometimes it helps if you push on the fold to help it pop open. If you want to try the origami fold, I don't think it's harder to hold during insertion than the 7 fold (IIRC).

If the cup gets too full, it can unseal and leak a bit. Usually since it stays upright, it won't leak a whole lot, and you can probably feel it leaking and empty it out. It's not supposed to leak if it seals when you've just inserted it, though because there's blood flowing out during insertion, you'll still get a bit of residual spotting even if the cup is perfectly sealed. So if it's working as well as you'd like, then I'd ignore the people who say that you should care more about the leaking (I always wear a liner anyway because I'm paranoid).

when I tried it the 7 fold was harder to hold than the punch down, idk why?

and I haven't been letting it it get that full (I have a heavy flow the first few days so I change it every six hours and its usually only half full when I do that) so idk. its only a few spots, but? idk I'm so paranoid that I am doing something wrong and messing up. :c I don't even know how to know if it is sealed all the way tbh.

Yeah, I'd definitely see the punch down being easier to hold than the 7 fold - that's why it's harder to pop open the punch down. The harder it is to hold, the more resistance there is to the folded configuration (so the 7/origami folds are easier to open because they already want to "pop", but you have to counteract the "popping" during insertion).

If it's only a few spots, then it's probably just mainly from "leakage" on the sides (like, blood on the vaginal walls that isn't inside the cup when you insert it, and therefore eventually leaks out). If you like, you can test if it's sealed when you insert it. If you tug on it, you can feel the suction (which you'll have to break if you want to remove it immediately). It might be hard if you have difficulty grabbing that far up, though...

Ah that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the explanation, I think I understand better. And hopefully my weak wrists will build up some strength over time and I can switch over to the origami fold, since it sounds like the best of both worlds?

You're welcome! Good luck building up your wrists. XD

(ah, I think I misinterpreted your comment the first time - I thought you meant the C/7 folds didn't work for you because they didn't fit, but I think you meant they were harder to hold? in which case the origami fold would probably be difficult too, alas...)

Re: diva cup anon again

it is both tbh - they hurt going in and were harder to hold. If I can get my weak baby wrists under control the origami fold might be a good option though, if it goes in like the punch down
