Update: so I'm still not satisfied with my menstrual cup. They sent me a large Lena which I'm using now for the 2nd cycle. It's better than the small...no real leakage...but it's still falling out. Last night, day 1 of my cycle, I wore it fine all day (mostly sitting at a desk). I emptied it at 5:30 and had a soccer game to coach at 6pm. I was walking/standing the entire game (but no hard physical exertion) and by the end of the game at 7:30 I could feel that it was about halfway out of my body. I'm using it again today and same thing. Inserted at 6am. No issues. At 10am I walk about 1mile to a restaurant for a work meeting and walk back to my office. Can feel it falling out. Empty (not even close to being full), reinsert and within minutes I can feel it slipping out. WTF.
It seems like early in my period everything is sitting low and squishy and all that tissue just pushes it out I guess. I feel it pop open and I run a finger around and know the rim is fully open. It's collecting blood so I know it's working in that regard.
Gah, what now? I really want to find one that works.
