I was wondering if any of you got a weird almost stinging feeling where the stem is is that normal or do you think its down too low.I am SUPER sensitive down there so that might be it.
Thanks! | I don't know that stinging is normal, but I do know that the stem was uncomfortable to me, and I cut it off completely. I am able to grab the bottom of the cup to twist, etc. and I break the seal at the side to remove it. Personally, mine sits really low and with the stem still on it actually stuck out of me. That was part of the reason I cut mine off.

I trimmed my stem down too, about two of the three "rings" on it. Or one of the two, if there's only two. Either way, it only has one "ring" worth left! 
To answer another question: You can wear it up to 12 hours, and yes, it's totally reusable. When AF shows up, I boil it for a minute or two, then it's good to go.

Any slight mess is completely outweighed by the benefits IMO.

I just received the Diva Cup I ordered yesterday. I'm off my period now, but will give it a try next month and see how it works. Thanks for the recommendation; I wouldn't have known about it if I didn't visit the board. :-)

After using it for a few days i love it!
Its easier for to insert it if i push one of the sides down and than fold it again.
This TMI but have any of your bfs/DH notice it being less tighter down there because of this.My boyfriend been overseas and i don't want him to have any ideas lol!
Also when i remove i keep getting some AF back inside of me any ideas?
Thanks you girls!

Um. I've never had any "tightness" issues. I would think it might work out the muscles down there just keeping it in place. But to be honest, once your bf comes back I'd imagine he'll just be overjoyed to be getting any at all that the idea wouldn't cross his mind. but that's just my opinion.

OH. LOL. I thought you were talking about him being away from me for long periods and I was all "um, no. he's right here." Do you mean where his family's from? As in ethnicity? If so, he's Chinese.

It is definitely easier to practice inserting, removing, and wearing when blood isn't involved LOL. I'm not saying it's bad during AF, but the first few times inserting and removing it were a lessen in acrobatics and grunting for me
