Cup Problem *TMI Warning

in Cloth Diapering
I have had a Luna cup for a few months now, and I'm still getting used to it. I usually don't break it out until the 3rd day of my cycle so the flow is light, and while it is noticeable, it's not intolerable. This month I decided to start with it on the first day. Despite my best efforts several different times during the day, I could not get it to sit comfortably, so I gave up. Today I tried again to no avail. It just hurts and is uncomfortable! Is it just b/c it's the beginning of the cycle? Or has my uterus suddenly decided to fall out of my body? I've been jogging a little bit lately, but surely that hasn't changed my anatomy so drastically, has it?

    Is it the stem that's irritating you?  I wound up trimming about half of the stem off of my Lunette to make it more comfortable - maybe give that a try?

    If your flow is light enough it might just be too dry in there.
    No, I'm at the beginning of the cycle, so it's definitely not dry. I may try chopping the stem a little. It never bothered me before, but I'll try anything to not have wasted the money.

    Oh! My uterus is lower my first day or two, and it pushes the cup down. That could cause the stem to poke you.
    I wondered if this was it! It feels like the whole daggum thing was lower, like I sat on a Dixie cup and it was stuck b/n my thighs.

    Is the discomfort internal or external? 

    I have the Diva cup, and I can't wear it for the first day or so because, like a PP said, your cervix sits lower....wearing the cup for the first day or so gets tricky to get it to sit right, and I have had it bump/ press/ sit against the cervix, which feels like intense menstrual cramping.

    It was internal discomfort. I think it was the lower cervix deal. Today it isn't bothering me. Thank goodness!

    So what do you do the first two days? Mama cloth?

    Up until I got pregnant I used regular pads (which I loathe with the fire and burning of a thousand STDs), but since getting pregnant and deciding on cloth for baby, I have decided to get some mama cloth for myself.
