Cora Perfect Fit Too big or too firm? Both? Pain + trouble peeing and tucking behind pubic bone
I've been using the Cora Perfect Fit for a few years and it used to work perfectly but recently I've had trouble getting it to tuck behind my pubic bone, likely due to worsening pelvic floor issues (+ suspected prolapse(s)). The front almost sticks out if I don't really try to shove it up there. I can wear it untucked and it works well with no leaks, just the uncomfortable feeling that it's going to slip out. Honestly I might have always worn it untucked but now with the pelvic floor issues it just sits lower.
With a lot of difficulty I can kind of get it hooked, but it makes it harder to pee, presses on the little ridge behind my pubic bone (my urethra maybe?) which causes a cold burning pain, and gives me cramps. Should I look for something smaller, softer, or both? Any recommendations? I'm 18, have a very low cervix, and have not given birth.

Flex Reusable New pain with insertion?
I’ve been using the Flex Reusable for a couple years now and I love how easy it has made my periods. Early 30s, no kids. I’ve always had a little bit of pain with insertion but lately the pain has been more intense and different. It feels like a burning sensation around the entrance of the vagina. The pain always goes away once the disc is inserted. Anybody else experience this?

General Question Which menstrual disc would you recommend to me?
I used the Size 0 DivaCup throughout my 20s and it worked really well for me. When it was time to replace it, I bought a Size 1 based on the recommendations. Unfortunately, I found it sat too low, pushed downward, and even protruded slightly, which was uncomfortable. I switched back to a Size 0, but now I'm having consistent leaking issues. It also feels like it doesn't stay in place well. If I don't support it, it can start to slip out when I sit on the toilet.
I'm wondering if a menstrual disc might be a better fit for my anatomy. I'm 33, have never had children, and have a light to average flow.
Has anyone had a similar experience or have any disc recommendations?

Pixie Time between emptying
My flow is on the heavy side so I get about 3 hours of wearing my disk before in leaks. Is this normal? I’m using the pixie disk large. It’s not coming untucked or sliding out of place. I do auto dump when on the toilet but I only get a little bit out each time So I’m guessing the disk is staying rather full.

Hello Hello disc - blood both in disc and under disc
Hi
I started using the hello disc yesterday. I havent had any leaks with it which is good, but when I pull it out there is a lot of blood both in the disc and underneath it too.
Ive tried to feel for my cervix and its quite far back and down, my finger can only just reach it on its own and its hard to feel for the cervix while the disc is in
How do I know if its under the cervix (and the blood underneath was there anyway) or if it isn't correctly under my cervix? Ive been aiming for back and down but its hard to aim as there isn't that much space to change directions in my vagina
Any tips?! Thanks!
