Hey Friend!! I hope it doesn't seem weird that I read this...I didn't even realize it was you at first - i thought it was just another fun diva cup thread! I have one too, and it took me a long time to get the hang of it. Ditto to the folding thing, and then putting the folded edge in first (the side that's on the left side of that diagram)
Also when I first started, I would lie on my back with my legs apart (the gyno position! yay!) and put it in that way. It was easier, even though it feels strange, and doesn't work well in public bathrooms ;) I just used tampons when i was out and "practiced" with the diva cup when I was at home.
Hurts like a fuck when it pops open on you, doesn't it? Ouch! (not like an actual fuck...)
finally, they say not to cut the stem all the way off, but I did. As long as you don't actually cut the cup part (duh) its fine. Its not like its gonna get stuck, and it is way comfier for me with no stem.
