mooncup

I got a mooncup a few months ago and have started using it, in the day its fine but when I use it at night i leak, its not because its full, any clue to why it is?

I haven't used one myself, although I'm thinking about it... The FAQ page on the mooncup website has some suggestions on how to prevent leakages, although it doesn't specifically talk about leakages at night.

I hope it helps.

From a logical point of view aren't leakages more likely at night just because when you're lying down the cup is no longer upright? This isn't mentioned on the website as far as I can see and is just me pondering so might be a load of rubbish, also it doesn't really answer your question or help in any way

thanku very much anyway! it does actually say about lying down when using it but it says it should be fine, will have to have another go with it next month!

i found that problem too, also when i swim, i think it might be to do with the pelvic floor muscles? maybe i'm crazy.
