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 am the biggest supporter of using menstrual cups for all of my friends and family. I originally bought a Femmecup (back when it was only 12 euros and not 22!) and it’s been the best thing ever. I could never get tampons to open up and absorb anything and pads chafed, so it was a no-brainer.

    However, I’m pretty sure it’s time to buy another. I love the femmecup but I don’t really know what material hardness it is or what would be comparable to it in size, fit, and amount it holds. Is there one anyone would recommend that’s almost similar or should I just get another of something I know is amazing?

      Hi Nicole!

      There are SO many cups on the market these days that you can choose from several different shapes, sizes, colors, and firmness.
      The FemmeCup has a very soft body, but a rigid rim. If you want to stay with that style of cup, you can check out the MoonCup, SheCup, VCup (India not V-Cup “cheapie”), or the NaturCup. However, the firmness of these cups aren’t as soft as the FemmeCup.

      Do you know if you have a low or high cervix? Do you have a sensitive bladder? (I’m guessing it not too sensitive since the FemmeCup rim is on the firmer side)

      You can check some size comparisons here: Cup Comparison
      and see if any of the cups catch your eye. If you have any questions about a cup or cups, I’d be happy to answer them 🙂

    Hello!

    I’m so happy I stumbled upon this! I’ve used a small Lunette cup for the past several years and always been more or less happy with it, until I had my first child. I had quite a bit of internal tearing during my delivery. Now that my periods have resumed, I find the Lunette to be too small for my heavier flow and more uncomfortable than before. I think my vagina is actually narrower than before, due to repair/scar tissue. The cup sits very low, and the bottom tends to tilt backward into my vagina. Previously I had needed the entire stem; now I’ve trimmed it off entirely. The cup is also filled to capacity in two hours or less.
    Here are my answers to your typical questions:
    -Cervix Height: medium to high
    -Physical Activities: some walking/jogging
    -Bladder Sensitivity: average – I’ve never noticed that the the cup affects that at all.
    -Light or Heavy Flow: heavy flow

    I’m looking forward to hearing what you recommend! Thanks!

      Hi Anna,
      I’m wondering when inserting the cup, you place it high and the it starts to migrated down?
      A more bell shaped cup with a regular style rim might feel more comfy and stay in place. A bell shaped cup tends to ride up and sit higher for most people. I have found (with speaking with others) that the regular style rim doesn’t move as high as the ones with a flared rim.
      Some cups to consider would be the LaliCup (medium or large) and the Ruby Cup (medium).
      In turn, a bell shaped cup with a flared rim might work just as well. I would probably go with one with a longer length since you have a medium to high cervix, such as: Lena and Fleur.
      The LaliCup large would have the most capacity in the cups that I’ve mentioned. The Ruby Cup would have the least.

      Did you have any cups in mind already? Check out these cups and let me know if you have any questions about them or any other cup. 😀
      Good Luck!

    hi I currently have used JuJu No 2 for my past 2 cycles. Only trouble I have is the cup coming out. I have been wearing it without leaking. Whenever I walk or pick up a child it comes out…. Not all the way generally a little sometimes a lot. I have removed the stem completely.

    1. Cervix is low
    2. Flow medium
    3. Physical activity…. Yoga, running, personal training
    4. Haven’t noticed my bladder while wearing JuJu cup
    5. 42 yo 3 children.

    What would you recommend?

    Thanks for your help.

      Hi Sarah!
      I’m sorry that you’re having an uncomfortable experience with your Juju cup 🙁 The Juju might be too long for you and getting pushed out when you bear down/tense up.

      You can try turning the cup inside out and see if that “fits” better. For a lot of people, this does the trick. If not, you might have better luck with a cup that’s bell shaped with a flared rim, or a cup that’s shorter.
      Some cups that might work with your low cervix – Lena small or large, LaliCup medium, Fleur or A Zen Cup (same design) small or large, Super Jennie small or large, Ruby Cup medium, and Sckoon large.

      The Lena original version would be the firmest of the bunch (in body). The softest would probably be the Super Jennie. If you decide on the Super Jennie, the small has a good capacity even for a small sized cup. It may be enough for your medium flow. The dark blue colored Super Jennie has been confirmed by the company to be the only color that’s slightly more firm than the rest. If you’re worried about getting a softer cup to open, get the dark blue.

      I would suggest trying your cup inside out first. One to save you some money if it’s comfy and works. Two, you’ll have a better idea if you need to go shorter.

      If you need me to elaborate on any of the cups I mentioned, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

      Good Luck!
      PS…did you know that Juju recently came out with a low cervix cup? It’s short, wide and they added beefier grips!

    Which would you recommend? –My biggest issue is that I have Such a difficult time removing my cup (like afraid it won’t come out several times, seriously)!! I don’t use it often because of this. I have a Large Luna Cup (user for few months). Heavy flow (remove every 2 hours+ so don’t leak). High cervix I think. Semi sensitive bladder. My current cup feels fine, but the stem and cup is Hard to grip and remove. Thanks for the help!

      I literally reach in with three fingers and refold it inside the canal and then gently pull it out at an angel similar to the insertion angle. I can’t pull it out without refolding it. It hurts that way. Now that I’ve done it a few times, it’s so much easier.

    Hi, hoping you can help recommend a cup for me. I’ve only ever tried the small diva cup, have had it for years, tried before and after having kids and find inserting and removing soooo painful!!! Find it hard to get it to open, Leaks big time, and is very uncomfortable! I have an extremely heavy period but only for 2 days, then just spot for a week lol. No idea about the length of my cervix???

      Hi Melissa!
      I’m sorry that you’re having troubles with the Diva Cup 🙁 It just might not be the cup for you. I would suggest trying to locate your cervix if you can. It might give you some insight to which size or shape of cup you want.

      How to Locate & Measure your Cervix:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNoiRIMAhY0

      Here’s a walk-through of “How to Insert & Remove your Menstrual Cup” with some tips:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2YtfxUMeV4
      This video also covers what might be happening when you “leak”.

      How is the cup uncomfortable? Does it feel too long? Too firm? Does it press on your bladder making you feel like you need to urinate or when you do urinate do you feel like you can’t empty your bladder all the way?

      Some extra info will be helpful in suggesting a few cups that might work for you better. 🙂

    I had the Lunette cup (smaller version) and it was too firm for me. It was leaking all the time but it was still better than tampons and pads (I was wearing the thin daily pads). It also got a brownish colour very quickly. Now I got a different one, it is the same size but softer, and it doesn’t leak anymore. But it is only available in EU.

      Hi Poli!
      You can actually soak most of your cups in Hydrogen Peroxide overnight to get rid of stains. Rinsing with cold water, at least at first will help with setting in stains. After you rinse all the blood off with cold water, you can use hot water for a good wash.
      Everyone is different and a cup that works for one person, might not work for the next. It’s kind of trail and error. I’m happy to hear that you found something that works for you 😀 What cup was it?

    So i’ve just started looking into menstrual cups and i was wondering which brand you would recommend for me.

    I am in my early twenties.
    Cervix Height- I don’t know how to measure this I have short fingers so its hard for me to tell
    Physical Activities- I do go to the gym regularly
    Bladder Sensitivity- I would say I have a sensitive bladder
    Light or Heavy Flow- Heavy Flow

    • Reply
      Red Herring August 9, 2017 at 5:08 am

      Cervix Height – unknown = average size cup
      ….Can you feel your cervix at all? You can make a mental note as to how far you were able to insert a finger and measure the length of your finger in mm’s.
      Physical Activities – gym = I suggest something a little more firm
      Bladder Sensitivity – Sensitive = …medium/firm to medium/soft (taking into account the gym)
      Flow – Heavy = Larger size or High Capacity

      The cups that I would suggest looking into are:
      LaliCup Medium (bell shape with regular rim)
      EvaCup Large (V shape)
      Fleur Cup Large (bell shape with flared rim)
      Yuuki Rainbow or Soft Large (V shape)
      MeLuna Classic (Standard Size) Large or XLarge
      Ruby Cup Medium (bell shape)

      Check those out and see if any interest you 🙂

    I just purchased my first menstral cup and I decided on the disposable Flex cup. I haven’t tried it yet because I am worried that a light flow will make it uncomfortable. Anyone have any advice or tips for a beginner? Is it harder to remove the flex since it doesn’t have the tail or stem?

    • Reply
      Red Herring August 9, 2017 at 5:17 am

      Flex and soft cups are quite different that the other style of “Menstrual Cups” on the market. However, both are safe to use while you have a light or heavy flow or no flow at all. A lot of people tend to use their cup when they’re expecting their period so they don’t get caught empty handed if it happens while they’re out and about.

      These disk type cups get “tucked” behind your pubic bone when inserted. To remove them, you insert a finger and “hook” your finger around the rim to move it back over your pubic bone. I find that if I squat or even bear down in any way; sneeze, cough, laugh etc, the Flex/Soft Cup becomes “un-tucked” on it’s own 🙁 That’s never good, but that’s just me. Your body might do perfectly fine with it.

      I know these are meant to be disposable, but I have heard many people wash them and reuse them. Some for the day and others for an entire period. I might suggest practicing inserting and remove prior to having your period just to get the hang of them. If you need to, use a water based lube to help ease the cup in. Some times for trying one too many times, you get dried out 🙁

      Good luck!! <3

    I’ve been using diva for years, first size 1 then switched to size 2 because late 30’s, no children. Always have leakage problems. It’s real leakage, not just residual. I make sure it pops open every time, but it’s often a struggle. Yet, I can’t completely empty my bladder unless I take the cup out. I always feel like I have to go. Any Rec’s for alternatives?
    -Cervix Height = high
    -Physical Activities = hiking
    -Bladder Sensitivity = yes
    -Light or Heavy Flow = heavy

      Red Herring August 9, 2017 at 5:23 am

      Perhaps a different shape all together? The LaliCup medium or large might be nice. It has a softer body with “channels” to help it fold up smaller, but also pop open easier. It is bell shaped, but has a regular rim that helps it not migrate so much like bell shaped cups with a flared rim. Capacity: medium – 36ml and large 40ml.
      Maybe the different shape with help keep the pressure off of your sensitive areas.

    Everyone’s gonna hate me for this, but. I’ve actually got a really LIGHT flow that only lasts a few days. My periods are very irregular and sometimes just consist of just spotting. I’ve got a Small Blossom cup now — which I love! But I was wondering; is there anything smaller, brand wise?

    • Reply
      Red Herring July 5, 2017 at 8:58 pm

      Hi hon!

      LOL I long time ago, I probably would have cursed you for having a really light flow! My periods have died down since, but I still have very irregular, unpredictable, light and/or heavy periods that may or may not last for a couple to a few weeks!
      Now, I’m just happy to have menstrual cups in my life. They make it all SO much better; heavy or not!
      As for the small Blossom Cup, there are many that are smaller.
      A few that come to mind are (all small size): AmyCup “Crystal”, Casco Cup Mini, FemmeCup, Korui, Lady Cup, LaliCup, Lena, Lumma, Lunette, Ruby Cup, Sckoon Cup….and more! These aren’t even include the “cheapie” types.
      I think it boils down to, what shape as well. You can narrow down the selection using that. Some of these are bell shaped cups and may not be what you’re looking for.
