This is a relevant questions, cos the position of your uterus affects the position of your cervix - they are different in different women.

The answer is likely to be yes, because the mooncup is held in place by the positions of everyones' ligaments and pelvic bones....Im not explaining that very well.

I think that if I were you, I'd still try it. And anyway, they offer a money-back guarantee!

I went for the post birth size but not sure if I should have gone for the pre birth size as my son was only 7.9 lbs born so don't think i've had as much wear and tear as the shelling peas type of woman.

I've had 3 sections so that area is virgin, untouched territory. :D But they recommend size A if you're over 30 regardless.

My mooncup arrived yesterday... Cute little bag it comes with. :D Me likey!

How long is it recommended to be left in?

Obviously there are capacity issues :o as well as some smaller risk of TSS than with tampons?

That's what they say, tho it's never been truly investigated (as they also say).
