There is a site with heaps of different folds. Explore yourself and find your cervix and always ensure your cervix is in the cup. If mine isn't quite right then I get leaks but I have gotten used to running my finger around it and checking that I can't feel my cervix.

I only got my period this morning...but means i get to try out my cup. =) it is going to take a while to get use to it...and trust it (as at the moment i'm checking it all the time, when i obviously don't need to)
but I can already tell that i'm going to get addicted...and I already know i'm never turning back!!!!!!
On the instructions on mine though it actually says its meant to sit a little lower (lower than tampons for example), it says its not meant to be right up near your cervix,...but mine seems to be creeping up that way anyway...and it is comfortable further up... no leakage yet..but i keep playing with it - so havent left it in that long =P
Using mine for the first time today! So far, it's soooo comfortable! Haven't changed it yet (about to though) But so far, so very good! I ended up going with MeLuna as I'm very sensitive. I got a cute purple one with a ball end and I got a free red one with a loop end! WAs so happy as I wasn't expecting it
I have a lunette (size 2) and I really like it but I am having alot of trouble with removing it. I am fine with inserting, positioning and no leaks but the removal is painful! Do you think that maybe it could be that I need a smaller size? Any experiences/advice please?
I have gotten my Mooncup to work brilliantly now. It has taken me quite a bit of time and a bit of research. But fortunately I didn't give up easily.
I have a pretty low cervix early in my period and it is also quite heavy on day 2&3. Wearing the Moocup in a comfortable position meant that it was sort of sitting on my cervix and leaking a lot. If I tried to wear it low enough I got no loeaks but it was very uncomfortable because the bottom of the cup was sticking out (and that was with the stem completely cut off.
I found a forum specifically for menstrual cups and got lots of help there. My doctor said I don't have prolapse or anything, so that isn't an issue. Someone suggested weaering the cup inside out. That would never have occured to me. But it makes it just that little bit shorter and with a "squarer" bottom so that I cannot feel it at all when wearing it and I have no leaks at all.
I'm so stoked that it is working now and thought I'd share it here in case someone else can benefit from that tip.
