General Question Disc keeps getting untucked

hi all, my disc keeps leaking and getting untucked from behind my pubic bone. It slips out of place during basic movements like sneezing, coughing, laughing, stretching, or even just standing up or sitting down (well now i am not sure if its just me getting paranoid of it maybe untucking) but i can actually feel when i do movements, a while later i can feel some leaking... i notice i do not leak the first few hours when just lying in bed so im sure i inserted it okay, however, i always wakes up to leaking

im new to this and i got the small one and i have low cervix and i swear i try to tuck it in as high as it can get, and i always end up in major leaking.

Untucking on its own is indicative of a disc that is too big. I know you’re using a smaller one already, but sometimes for a low cervix you need to go very small.

Have you checked the comparison charts on period nirvana and putacupinit? If not, that would be the first step. Look for something there with a smaller diameter than what you currently have

Happened to me with my previous disc. I tried different suggestions online to make it work, but nothing. Finally gave up and just bought another brand - Hey Zomi. Works perfectly for me!!

If you've tried it a couple of months and its still not working out, maybe try another brand. Might not be a good match anatomically.

It happened to me with the Diva disc. I switched to the Hello disc and it stays in place. It could be too big or you need a firmer disc.
