I feel like this hasn't been brought up in a while... Who here uses them?
I'm looking for a different brand. Currently use the Diva Cup (size 2) and it leaks. I took a quiz and it recommended a Mermaid Cup, but that appears to be European, so I can't order here in The States.
Any good recs for a high cervix?

Duuuuuude. Have you tried a disc?! Soooooo much better than a cup! To be fair, I’ve only used the disposable ones so far. But my plan is to order a reusable one as soon as I get brave enough. I use Flex, available at target or amazon if you want to give it a try.
Otherwise, I used to use Luna. And I liked it for a while. But now it leaks every time.

I’ve been using the Lunette cup since E and A were born so almost 5 years. No issues. I do have to empty it more than twice a day the first few days of my cycle but then only twice a day the last few.

I heard they can even be used for period sex?? But, is it easy to remove?

Ok tj the disc wins for comfort and ease of insertion. And no leaks! Buuuut, I could not remove with a single finger. Would not budge past my pubic bone. So that was fun. I'll try again tomorrow.

Practice in the shower. It did take a couple tries to get it perfect. But it has been soooo much easier for me than any other option.

If anyone cares…
I had been using flex disc Bc I am in a fight with my cup. And fell deeply in love with flex. Then I found out that soft disc is the same company same design but $4 cheaper per box. So I tested it out this week. They feel exactly the same, but I like the wrapper MUCH better on soft disc and it is cheaper.
I’m looking into trying a reusable disc, but can’t decide between ziggy and Cora. And I have decision paralysis.

I really loved my Lunette but I haven't used it since before G and L were born so I'm not sure if I still will like it or will need to switch to something different.

I'm still an OG diva cup user. I also have a Lena cup but it just doesn't fit quite right and I get leaks.
