2. Choosing a Menstrual Cup Full Guide

Choosing your first menstrual cup can be a daunting task with so many choices available on the market .This article will cover EVERYTHING there is to know about choosing a menstrual cup.

Read more...

First of all, with menstrual cups becoming more and more popular, an influx of them are being manufactured. However, not all are of the same quality. It’s up to you to determine if you are willing to risk your health by choosing a cup that may have been made of questionable material or a cup that has been registered with its respected countries health & safety agency, (FDA – USA, TGA – Australia, Canada Heath, EMA – EU, etc). If you’re in doubt, visit the cups website, read reviews from other users who have experience with that particular brand, and seek information about them in forums or social platforms.

Many companies will have a size selection printed on the packaging based on your age or how many births you’ve had. However, these ‘rules’ aren’t always very accurate. One cup will NOT fit all. We are all different and so are cups.

Locating and measuring your cervix is one of the easiest ways to eliminate many cups that might not be comfortable or easy to work with your body. Cups come in all sorts of various shapes and sizes and while one might fit someone perfectly, it might feel uncomfortably long or be hard to reach for the next. You may also want to think about how light or heavy your flow is so that you can select a cup with a capacity to match. Even some shorter cups that are comfortable for a low cervix, have variations that allow for a higher capacity. These topics and more can be found at ‘How to Choose a Menstrual Cup’.

    I have my own brand called the PrincessD Menstrual Cup in Johannesburg, South Africa but supply throughout the world. My price is R295,00 incl. VAT – appealing packaging. For retailers and non profit organisations, we can discuss prices for bulk orders. Let’s remember World Menstrual Hygiene Day on the 28 May 2016.

    I just ordered my first menstrual cup and can’t wait til it comes in! I just tried a few Instead Softcups that I got at Walmart and I wasn’t thrilled at all. Soon as I put one in intense cramping began. Plus, it never wasn’t leaking since it was difficult maneuvering it in the right spot. I know its a learned thing and sometimes it just takes time though. Hopefully this non-disposable one coming in is a little easier to use and insert and is a bit more comfortable like it looks. I decided on the Lunette light blue one the size 2 since I’m in my 30s and have pretty heavy flow that first day. The blue one is pretty. It makes having a period almost fun. Lol. If I like it I know I’ll get another in a purple or a different brand like Diva cup. So happy that finally an invention came out that can make a such big difference. 🙂

    I needed a cup I could use in a bathing suit without fear of leakage, so I used a Softcup and a backup tampon. I could go 3 or 4 hours of lounging and drinking, in and out of the pool at a time. Has anyone else thought of this? And do you think it was a good solution? Any other ideas on how to handle this type of solutions?

      I use the DivaCup model 1 and the Lunette cup model 2.
      The DivaCup is recommended for women who are under the age of 30 and have not given birth. The Lunette model 2 is recommended for women who have a normal to heavy flow and have had children OR engaged in vaginal intercourse.

      I use the Lunette on my heavier days (2nd and 3rd day) and overnight because the silicone is [slightly] stiffer than the DivaCup and I’ve never had a leak with it, it is also holds twice as much fluid. Since it is stiffer, I don’t have issues with the cup not opening. BUT I do have to wiggle it a little at the base and move it up then down to make sure it is fully open and suctioned (note: I’ve had to do this with all of my cups).
      I use the DivaCup for my lighter days because I don’t worry so much about leaks during that time and I don’t need to use the larger cup. I had leaks with the DivaCup my first week using it and I’ve had some leaks since if it doesn’t open all the way inside my vagina (sometimes it feels open even though it’s not. Run a finger around the cup while it is inside your vagina to check). I’d say that my “go to cup” is the Lunette because I never have to worry about it leaking. I have swam with both cups without any problems. I empty my cups 2-4 times in a 16 hour day depending on the flow of my period. I hope this helped! Good luck.

      Lunette model 2 (30 ml): $29.99-39.99
      The DivaCup model 1 (15 ml): $29.99-39.99
      (Note: You must buy the DivaCup from an online retailer like Walgreens or CVS)

      I could never use the Softcup. I tried the full box and never had a day that it did not leak all of the fluid out. try the pre-shaped ones. I got the Luna cup and love it. I wish it held a bit more but still love it, and Im not dry and in pain like I was with tampons.

    I use MCUK. At first i thought, “this is definitely not for me” because it HURT horribly to walk while wearing it. I kept trimming the stem shorter and shorter until I finally trimmed it right off. I was nervous about getting it out, but I can. Now I wear it every period and I love it! Be sure to give the cup you choose a chance, no pressure, bit by bit keep trying it.

      I had the same experience with my Mooncup (same brand)! I really struggled to get it comfortable, and the stem made me sore. It was my first cup, so I was really anxious about cutting off the stem, but once I did I couldn’t feel it at all anymore, and it was still easy to get out.

      For desperate times, for spontaneous moments… You can use a cosmetic sponge to avoid any blood carnage. You know, the ones you use at Ulta to try foundation and such? Just don’t leave it in for long, it’s not a tampon. It only holds until the deed is done. This is a trick they use in the porn industry.

      First, remember that the menstrual cup is not a contraceptive method and should not be used as one. It is intended for the sole purpose of providing a female with a feminine hygiene alternative to pads and tampons.

      About your question – There is ONLY ONE single brand of menstrual cup that can be worn and used during sex and it is called the Softcup (https://menstrualcupreviews.net/softcup-review/). The Softcup can be essentially worn during sex while on your period for mess-free intimacy. However, all other menstrual cups cannot and should not be worn while partaking in sexual intercourse.

      Good Luck 🙂

        I could never get the soft cup in right. I tried them out after I ordered the Luna cup, and I got worried I just wasted money on something I will not use. I love my Luna cups they go in and stay put, wish I could have said the same for the soft cups.

        • Alex Chaudhary April 2, 2016 at 10:22 pm

          I like soft cup and Instead cup. I also have a cup from eBay, I got as a trial. Too see if the size works for me. Once you get the soft cup in correctly. ( If your having trouble videos are available on YouTube. I’m guessing you’ve seen them tho. )
          I did have trouble once. I didn’t have it in perfectly, and I sneezed.. it was not good.
          But if leaking or sneezing is your issue.. And you just want to insert for use during sex. I found them also to work well. And, my husband said he isn’t bothered by it, but can feel it a little.

    I started out using a Mooncup, US version about 4 years ago. It’s a size B. I’m 35 years old and have one child born via c-section. This last year, I tried the Lunette size one and LOVE it. It has a higher capacity than even the bigger Mooncup, mainly because the air holes are closer to the rim. I recently was in the UK, so I picked up a Mooncup, UK version and will be trying that one out soon. Its a little shorter than the US version and the air holes are closer to the rim, so I have high hopes that it’ll work well. Its silicone feels like th Lunette (silky but not completely smooth like the Mooncup US version). Once you get past the learning curve, you’ll find that cups are so much better than tampons!

    I have been doing my own resercher on this very thing, I found a cup called the Super Jennie it’s made in the USA and is reasonably priced. Just did not know how long they’ve been on the market since this review was done. I have bought one, can’t complain that it works rather well.

        Hi,

        I’m very interested in purchasing menstrual cups for a large group of girls living in a very poor area in Namibia. Many can’t afford pads and our organisation is looking into trying to find a long term solution for them. I just read about someone selling them in SA . Could you please give me their contact details so we can see if we can order them. If anyone knows of someone selling them in Namibia then that would be even better. We need about 400 of them.

        Thank you very much!

          There is a company that makes the cup that I have that is in Africa. The Ruby Cup. They also give one cup to a local girl for every cup that is purchased.

          I saw a very cheap wholesale menstrual cup sale online, and you can search Wholesale in order to get the cheapest. Also, companies may be willing ti help you out if you mail them. Just make sure to know that you are getting good quality.

        • Tj July 2, 2016 at 2:13 am

          Be careful about the cheap ones. For one, they are more likely to be made of inferior materials. Also, chances are good they are made in China, which means they may or may not follow any safety regulations other countries do. Besides, if your one who uses cups for the environment, then you’re just feeding the beast if you give money to China. They are probably the WORST when it comes to pollution, sweatshops, and human rights violations.

    I really like using my menstrual cup but it rises too high for me to reach. I had to have removed by gynecologic and it cost me a visit. How can I prevent it from traveling? I use the femmycycle, is there another you would recommend? Thank you for advice.

      Try tying a piece of thin thread around the stem of the cup. Just to pull it within finger reach.

      Hev November 21, 2016 at 8:56 pm

      Also, if you’re set on the design of a femmycycle, try this. I don’t like sticking my fingers in to pull it out, so I take waxed dental floss (recommended by femmycycle) and braid it so it is a strong hold, and loop it through the femmycycle ring. That way when I’m ready to take it out, I have a “string” to pull on. I replace the floss every time.

      Deepu November 17, 2015 at 11:29 am

      I think femmycycle is usually recommended for people with a low cervix during periods (i.e they actually have an issue getting the cup fully inside, as opposed to the cup going too far inside)…so it is among the much shorter ones. I think a normal length cup with a stem (which you can trim according to need) will do the trick for you. You can probably check the distance to your cervix and the length of the cup you want to buy. Maybe a firmer cup is also better to start with (as it seems easier to push out with the vaginal muscles during removal)…in case such a cup making your bladder uncomfy…you can maybe then switch to a softer/smaller radius cup.

        Stephanie November 18, 2015 at 1:37 pm

          Another good cup which is fairly long is the lily cup but not Rhett compact one that is pretty soft the regular lily cup is just firm enough yet not too firm and it is nice and long so it is easier to reach

        • Kass June 22, 2016 at 9:48 pm

          *The* not Rhett lol

        • Lynniam January 2, 2016 at 9:39 pm

          The Diva cup is quite long, and widely available in actual stores if you live in the US (or Canada). Their website has a store locator that might help you find a local retailer!
