• I do it by feel. Mostly I need to get my fingers right in there to check the cup is in right. We are all different so there could be physical reasons why you might not be able to do it by feel, but have you tried? No mirror, just stick a finger in to orient yourself first.... Maybe worth a try?

  • I love my Diva cup! I find that menstrual cups hold far more that a tampon, so it should be perfect for you. It took me a period or two to get the position correct so that I could be confident it wouldn't leak, but now it's amazing. Re: poo. I think this is likely to vary from person to person. I never had a problem pooping with a tampon in, but I feel the menstrual cup more--it's bigger. Sounds like you might need to take it out, but the good news is that you can do a dump and reinsert right there on the toilet.
