If you ever want to try a menstrual cup again, try the Flex cup. I think you can get it at Target. It has a ring pull at the bottom that basically pulls away the 'seal' at the top.

I used a Diva cup for years so I'm a huge fan of the concept, but the Flex is softer, more comfortable, and, like I said, that ring pull thing is sooooo much less stressful to remove and your fingers aren't ALL up in your business to do it.
