Large Diva, Instead Softcups, small Lunette
May 8: http://community.livejournal.com/menstru
Monday - "threatening"
Instead from 6am to 2pm. Very light "threatening stage" so not much in there.
Panty shield to about 5pm. Pretty full.
Back to Instead.
9:15 felt funny, squishy.
10pm still not much in there.
Instead overnight.
Tuesday -- light to heavy
8am - not much in there.
8:45 - I can feel it. Is it cockeyed? Getting very curious to try out the small Lunette.
10:45 - GASP! Instead leaked! Swapped out for the small Lunette but I think it's in wrong. I think I had it but then I took it out and reinserted. Should have left it alone.
11:15 - I walked around a lot and watered my gardens, etc. Small Lunette still feels wrong -- like it's being pushed out. I took it out and put it back in again. Is my cervix is hanging down REALLY low and pushing it? It already feels like it's trying to escape again -- like it's not in deep enough but I think it's in as far as it goes. Gonna give it some time and see what happens.
11:40 - Shoved it, squished it, super-kegels. Messy. Leaking? Felt OK until I got up and walked around. What if I swap it for the Diva?
12:15 - BLIP! I thought it was leaking so I swapped it out for the large Diva. No, it was probably just the residual combined with water from washing. It probably would have been fine despite being uncomfortable. It has only been a couple of minutes but the Diva is much more comfortable so far.
2:15 - only cos I'm thinking about it. Diva is comfy and doesn't feel like it has been leaking. Been up and walking, doing laundry and fish tank, not sitting here.
3:45 - DAMN! It leaked. Panty shield was full. Good suction but only a LITTLE actually in the Diva. Despite how uncomfortable it is, would the small Lunette actually work?
6:15 - no leaking. Went pee but didn't take it out.
8pm - just a little blip of a spot on my shield -- probably just washed out from going pee last time. Hardly anything in/on the cup. Swapped for the small Lunette making sure I shoved it DEEP past my pubic bone this time. I'm not sure if it's (O) on my cervix or not. If it is, it won't leak. If not, slobber city!
10pm - it feels like it's slipping down again. I think I'm in a lull so I can't tell if it's leaking or not.
10:20 - went pee and checked it. Damn, spilled it down the toilet before I could see how much was in it. Seemed like the most so far. I would have wanted to see how much had collected. Rejoice! Success! Is this going to be my heaviest night? Reinserted dry, just so it wouldn't slobber.
Overnight: Small Lunette. Paranoid for nothing. No leaks. 3/4 full by 8am.
Wednesday - heavy to light
8am - Swapped the small Lunette out for an Instead to give them a try on a heavier day and give myself a rest from potential poking and prodding like yesterday.
11:45 - Curious to see how much was in there but it squished and spilled before it came out. Seemed like a "rewarding" amount. At this point, I trust Insteads more than the cups.
3pm - pooped! A lot seems to have spilled out of the Instead because the water was red but there was very little in the cup itself. That tells me I can "empty" it by Kegeling. I'm starting to like these Insteads more and more. Especially for down at the range! On the other hand, if I (for example) have a coughing fit, would that be enough to Kegel and empty the Instead when NOT on a toilet?
7:30 - Spotted on the shield -- only because I inserted it wet last time? Swapped for the Lunette and do I dare keep in in until morning?
8pm - Changed my mind, swapped for the Diva. Let's try that overnight.
11pm - Diva is leaking. Swapped for Instead. Still moderate flow.
Instead overnight. Hardly anything by morning.
9:45 - Swapped to Lunette. Can I trust it more than the Diva?
1:30 - No leaks, perfectly sealed. But it feels low/protruding. I've shoved it a few times but it keeps coming back. Or is that the stem I feel?
4:15 - I can still feel it. That must be "normal." Gurgle? Dumped it. Less than 1/2 full. Unlike Instead, NOT MESSY at all.
10:45 - Very little in it. Brownish, been there for a while. Removed.
CONCLUSIONS:
I hate the Diva. Is it "difficult" or just the wrong size?
I like the Lunette. It pops open. It doesn't leak. But it feels like I'm pushing it out.
I have full confidence in the Insteads but they are VERY MESSY.
