I just love MeLuna cups, they come in all different sizes and firmness-es.
I
bought this one in Small (classic and soft). I like the option of using
a different firmness during my cycle depending on how I feel that day.
They
are both rather soft, the soft is very soft and pliable which could be a
problem for those with strong muscles. The soft is softer than the Diva
Cup, and the classic is very close to the Diva. I didn't have a problem
getting either of them to open. I have heard that some ladies have a
hard time with very soft cups, so if that is your case you should look
into getting the classic or sport.
The small is one of my favorite cups I've tried so far.
It's good for a low cervix and holds more than the mini if you have a heavier flow.

I bought the small mini soft.
I love this one because I have a low cervix.
It is very soft, and I like the feel of the cup. It is softer than the Diva Cup.
It also comes with a bag to store it in when not in use.
I
found it very easy to use and get it to open. It's also very easy for
me to remove it. I have heard that some ladies have a hard time with
very soft cups, so if that is your case you should look into getting the
classic.
Overall I really love this cup. It's great for those with a very low cervix as it's pretty short. It's
also good if you have a light flow, but can still work for someone with
a heavy flow (it will just have to be checked on sooner).

The Diva was my first cup, mostly because I could purchase it at a store near me.
I
noticed two different sizes: 1 for women under 30 or who haven't given
birth & 2 for women over 30 or who have given birth. I chose the
size 1 as it seemed best suited for me.
I opened up the box after I got home and started reading about it and doing lots of research online on how to insert etc.
I
did manage to finally figure it out after a few tries, however it is a
little too long for me. So I use it with the stem cut off and that works
better for me. As my cervix moves lower I do need to turn it inside out
for it to work.
It is fairly soft, which I like, and I
love the feel of the cup itself. It comes with a pouch to store it in
and a pin you can wear or put in your bag for decoration.
Overall it's a good soft cup, but probably better for those with a higher cervix.
