okay now i'm getting a little annoyed (the Keeper)

[peculiar.livejournal.com]

I have a keeper menstrual cup
I have a fairly heavy flow
Although, after inserting the keeper (which is totally comfortable and it doesn't feel wrong or tilted or too suction-y)
It is fine for about an hour, but after a while it begins to leak
(It is not overflowing)
but I felt around and noticed that my vagina is shaped funny and tilted, so is my cervix.
i have to hook my finger to get to the cervix...

ANYWAY, it leaks all day (not a lot) just a little, especially when i urinate.
A pantyliner keeps it completely under control.
But I would love to go a day without having to wear a pad/pantyliner.

HELP!?

p.s.- I have tried to twist it once it is up there to create suction but i am too small and can not get my hands in there to grab and twist it?

Sorry I can't help - I have pretty much exactly the same problem - tilted uterus means the thing just never quite sits right. Always leaks. Using a pantiliner works so I figure, hey, good enough. And if it leaks when I urinate, well, that's when I empty it so no problem :)

I've switched to using my diaphragm. That leaks a little too, but at least it's easier to insert than The Keeper. Everything leaks for me. I'm thinking I will make some cloth pantiliners and use those.
