Venusinfurs: I have endometriosis so tampons are rather painful for me also. So far though the diva cup doesn't seem to bother me.

Although, I don't know if I just don't have the hang of how to position it or what but something about sitting makes it want to leak. Or it could be that because of my endo I've noticed I cannot leave it in as long as 12 hours as the site says. Because if it does get to full it leaks. Hopefully after a couple cycles I'll be used to how often I have to empty it and I can forgo the pad as backup.
Also it was irritating me a bit so I trimmed the little nub thing and it seems to have helped. Don't know how much I can safely trim and it still be ok.

I've told a few gals at work about it and I know one of them for sure is going to try it out. She has endo also and is tired of the cost of tampons and pads for herself.
