Diva Cup questions regarding larger size

[mandaryn.livejournal.com]

I posted a more detailed question over in menstrual_cups, but my Diva Cup has been leaking recently (just a bit last cycle, and 3 times already this cycle), and I'm wondering if I need/should move up to the larger size. I've been using the cup for almost 3 full years now, so I'm definitely a seasoned user. Holes have been cleared (and even when changing, there wasn't all that much blocking them, certainly not more than normal, and I'd say even less than I normally get). I check for a good seal (and can give the cup a few turns even).

I've never been pregnant, and I'll be 27 in May. I know that the "after age 30" thing is approximate, hence my wondering if I'm just hitting that body change a bit sooner, and the need to move up a size.

A switch in brands might be fun. It's definitely something I'm looking into. I might try tweaking with how I've been inserting it too, along with just trying to pay more attention to how often I empty it (at least during the day).
