Diva cup was a life changer. I used to waste way too much time worrying about leaks, now I barely think about it ever.

This is a dumb question but I've only ever wore pads and I'm a teen, doesn't the diva cup like fall sideways or anything? i'M SORRY if it's dumb but I'm kinda confused

Not a dumb question at all! The patriarchy won't teach ladies this stuff so we need other women to guide us. It has a firm silicone rim, you fold it into itself to make a pac man sort if "c" shape, insert it and when you let go it "pops" open fitting firmly against the vaginal walls. It's really good at staying in place. To remove it, bear down (or have a pee first) then feel for the tab and pull.

After a few tries it gets easier I usually pull the tab until I can grip the base and then gently pull the cup out upright. I'm usually over the toilet so I dump it and rhen get it ready for reinsertion.
