Hi; I've never had a child, and prefer 'slim' tampons, but I am 30, and I've got a fairly big build (tall, broad-hipped). Which size should I go for?

As others have said, if you have never given birth vaginally start out with size 1 regardless of age. I tried the size 2 first since I’m over 30 and it didn’t work well. It was too big which prevented it from forming a proper seal and caused leaking and discomfort. Not a cute look. I switched to size 1 and found that it works perfectly! I’m so happy that I’m no longer dependent on tampons! But seriously, the age recommendation is silly. 30 isn’t the magical age where a woman’s birth canal suddenly looses all elasticity. If you read through the answers here it’s pretty clear that most of the 30+ women w/o children had better luck with the size 1.

Serious question: has anyone ever had trouble getting the Divacup out upon removal? Really want to try the diva cup but terrified of this happening!

I’m new to this cup but it gets stuck every time and I have to spend a bit of time working it out, lying down, really getting my hand up there. I also have found that I pinch my inner ruffles (mucosa) when I’m trying to grab the end and that hurts. I’m 50 with some heavy clotting days and I’m not sure this cup will hold my large clots anyway. Not giving up yet. It’s a great concept.

This is stupid, but what is the possibility of it it getting stuck?

I know this is an old question, but maybe it will help other people who are having issues and looking for tips on getting the cup out (like I did). If you can't grip the cup, or are having trouble reaching it, squat down all the way - so that your butt is touching your heels. This will help push it out a bit, and make it more horizontal so you can pull it out easier. Once you have it pulled out a little bit from the stem, you should be able to grasp the body of the cup easier in this position to squeeze it and break the seal. Once you've done that, you can stand up to remove it the rest of the way. Hope this will help someone else!

Has anyone used this while swimming? Does it stay put in the water?

Yes! I live on an island and go to the beach every other weekend. No issues with the Diva cup whatsoever while swimming in the ocean.
