Issue with tucking and leaking

I tried a disc for the first time in my life (one of the Flex disposable discs) and had trouble getting it tucked behind my pubic bone. I’ve used a cup for one cycle and I didn’t have any issues with insertion, but the feeling of it bothered me, so I thought that a disc might be less invasive. I tried one of the disposable discs that I was given along with my cup. Insertion was easy and I could feel my pubic bone, but the disc felt like it wasn’t staying there/popping open. I could push the disc behind my pubic bone, but it would immediately slip back out of position and just sort of hang vertically inside of me. Obviously this resulted in a LOT of leakage. Is this an anatomy issue? A sizing issue? Any help is appreciated because I really want to make discs work!

Switching from cup to disc

Just finished my first ever cycle with a menstrual cup! The learning curve wasn’t as bad as I expected, and I figured out insertion/removal pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I could definitely feel the cup, especially after using the bathroom. I often had to use a finger to move it further up even after just peeing. I also had some leaking on my heavier days. I’m interested in a disc since they sit higher and I think will be more comfortable with my anatomy, but I’m unsure of how to find a good fit for me. I’m currently looking at the reusable Flex disc (the brand of my cup) and Saalt. Any recommendations or advice is appreciated!

Bloody Mary shrimp with odd coloration

Hi all, a few months ago I got 8 Bloody Mary shrimp from a reputable local aquarium store. They’ve settled into their new home nicely and I now have well over 100 shrimp! One of the females from the original 8 that I bought has gotten quite a bit darker than the other adults and has developed a stripe of lighter pigmentation that runs down her back. Everyone else is a solid red color. Is she older? Is she a different color morph? I think she’s beautiful but I just want to make sure that nothing is wrong with her!
