Tell me there's a learning curve with the diva

And that I WILL get used to it and figure it out at some point.

Ugh. I keep having a lot of leaking. I think I have it in right, but I have to wear a panty liner (or a pad) b/c of the leaking. And the first few days it's so heavy (which is where we're at now), so it's a mess.

I want to love it and I think I will if I can figure the stupid thing out. Do you think it's just not popping open all the way? I can't really get it to "spin" even when I think it's in right.

    I'm thinking so. Granted, my first pp af was earlier this week (don't hate me - but it only lasted 2 days) and I only had a little chance to try it out - unsuccessfully. I don't think I ever got mine to really pop open, tho there was a tiny bit of blood in it. But, I could never get mine to twist. I'm curious how it goes for me next time.

    There is. We'll all get it eventually.

    Do you run your finger along the perimiter of the cup when you get it in to see if you can feel part of it caved in? That's what I've been doing and the first few times I insert it and think it's all good, I can always feel a side caved in that hasn't popped open. Then I have to mess around with it awhile and eventually I don't feel that anymore and it usually spins at that point so I'm thinking that's the best way to tell if it's popped open all the way.

    I could NOT for the life of me get it to spin the first few times, and had all but given up. Eventually I figured it out, and I fell in love. You'll get it eventually!

    I have NEVER been able to get it to spin, so I've given up on that. I always run my finger around the outside to make sure it's popped all the way open. I've never had any leaks, but I've also never filled it more than halfway in 12 hours. If your flow is really heavy, maybe you just need to empty it more often?

    Oh gosh, my flow is really heavy. I emptied it twice yesterday where it was at least 3/4 full each time. And that doesn't include that I was wearing pads. Ugh, that sucks.
