Menstrual cups are the future! Reducing landfill, empowering young women, saving $1000 of dollars.

Y'all should just create your own menstrual cups with all of the work and research you've done! "Put a Cup in it" is a great name.

I started with a small, and then had a pregnancy and delivered a 32 weeker at 4lbs. I still expected to need a large but my smalls still work! I encourage people to save the smalls because they might still work

this channel has made my first time trying menstrual cups go so much smoother and made me a lot less scared, thank you for all the time and research you guys put into making menstrual cups a much more accessible and less intimidating product for us!

I took the quiz AFTER ordering my first cup! 😅 but it eased my mind more since the the result matched with my purchase.

Who else touched the tip of their nose 🙋‍♀️

So what you're saying is Menstrual Cup sizes are like Women's Clothing and Bra sizes? Absolutely bonkers?

I got so lucky! My first cup somehow ended up being my perfect cup. Silly me didn't even do this research before buying. 😂

I'm 35, when I was around 30, I tried the size B Diva cup and I couldn't even get it in. I wish they didn't have the age guide, not every 30 something has given birth or even have been sexually active.

Love your videos, so helpful for someone trying to get into the wide world of menstrual cups.

i’ve never just wanted to start my period already, like come on come already because i want to figure this out! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

I found my perfect cup (Saalt soft) in one try because of this video and quiz. I’m on my 4th cycle with it and let me tell you I’m never going back! I just had to find this video and comment after I spent 2 hrs at a trampoline park tonight and this thing did not budge!! 😆😄

The test gave me the cup I already use and love.

This was so helpful. I’ve always wanted to try menstrual cups but was intimidated by the sizing issue. Will try it now. Thank you.

Your glasses are always amazing!

8:49 When she touched the cervix and then her nose I was like “eeewww” and the I remembered it wasn’t a real cervix lol 🤣

I wish I had discovered your channel before I bought my cup! But the cup I bought because it looked cute works fine for me luckily😂

I wish I had seen this video before I purchased my FOURTH cup! It had never occurred to me to measure my finger in mm to figure out how long of a cup I need. I have a low cervix and am struggling to find that perfect cup. They all fall out, or stick out painfully. Hopefully the fifth time's the charm!

I wish I'd watched this sooner. I'm two cups in and have been struggling to keep up my motivation to keep trying. Hopefully this will help me pick something better on the next go!

Please add the June Cup to your chart! That’s the one I have, and I’d like to compare sizes with the others. Thank you for the information!

I haven’t found a cup style that works for me. But, I tried the discs and, although it can’t contain my heavy flow days, it reduces my cramps and works the rest of the week. Bonus, my period is shorter when I use them!

Great video, and I did take the quiz. I have tried the Diva Cup and one other cup in the past. I always had such a hard time removing them because they would ride up too far and I couldn’t reach them, even with the stem in tact. Turns out I have a very high cervix. Coupled with a heavy flow, I have decided to order the Lily Cup, size B. Crossing my fingers that this will work out. I’m so tired of pads and tampons!

I could use large and small cups aged ago, and I have 2 kids now and can still use small cups. I think firmness is a much bigger factor honestly. My Super Jennie feels smaller than my (really firm and wrong shape for me) Lena small, because the SJ is constucted with a better angle and it's squishy, but the Lena is like a firm teardrop and it feels massive when it's in. Vaginas are really elastic, and they're very resilient. They can accommodate a large cup without needing to have given birth, and can also be taut enough to hold in a small cup post-childbith (if you're active and relatively fit.

Have they done a video on the different types of folds for a menstrual cup? When I put my cup in for the first time it was a blood bath. I could not get it to open to save my life. I had to take it out and try a different type of fold to get it to open. A video on the different types of folds for the menstrual cup could really help first time users.

Thank you PACII for all your help and all the resources on your website. Please continue to share your knowledge with the world.

Using clear gloves to insert and pull it out, is a real game changer. You don't have to worry about blood on your nails. I keep a baggy of gloves and bottle water everywhere I go. I Love Diva Cup, 6 yrs. Never turned back.

🙌🏼 thank you million times for your chart you saved me so much time trying to hunt down the right size

The only thing that scares me about the menstrual cup is that I have anxiety inserting anything really when I'm on my period.. I am in general very tight and have a hard time inserting even tampons.. I really wanna be able to use the period cup but I am scared I'm gonna pick a wrong one and waste money(I'm on a tight budget).

I’m 18 and I’ve never had kids or anything but I’m a Saalt regular size since I have a high cervix and heavy flow. It’s the first cup I’ve ever used and it’s my perfect cup

You gals are the best. Thank you for these great videos. ❤

I know that my cervix is high because I can't find it and normal cups go too far up, but the lily cups still hurts me.

Love the video and the quiz! Finally took the plunge and bought mine :)

Your are doing a amazing job explaining how the Menstrual Cups work. Thank you . Keep up the great work .

For capacity wise you could simply take it out more often and dispose of the you known

Thank you this is so helpful, l honestly feel a little lost about buying/trying out a cup for the first time.

I just saw your video, and it was so helpful and informative! I wish I had seen it sooner, but I already had bought (my first) two different brands when I saw it, which are from local brands of my country. I hope they fit correctly because I’m so looking forward to using the cup!

Hey, thank you so much for subtitling the video!

I just had a nightmare experience with my Femmy cycle cup. It had turned sideways inside me, and I was using the low cervix size so I couldn't feel the loop to grab it. I have shorter than normal fingers so I had seriously difficult time grabbing the cup even with bearing down. I have been using menstrual cups for 5 years now, and have tried many brands, and have never had this issue before, and it was not my first time using that brand either, been using it for about a year. I have a difficult time using the menstrual cups period, I don't know if it's because my cervix is extremely tilted or what, but it is VERY frustrating.

There's only one menstrual cup size brand in my country, I got a size S of it in Rossmann few days ago and I will be REALLY mad if it's gonna end up uncomfortable or won't fit because I spend literal fortune in my country's currency and there's no way I'll be able to afford or want to buy one from over seas since it would take half of my salary away from me...

I bought a lily cup a few years ago based of a friend’s recommendation. It was too long for me. I gave up and went to organic pads and tampons. I kinda want to try again. I thought I would have to try a disc instead.

When feeling for your cervix, use your MIDDLE FINGER. Mine is a lot longer and thus easier to locate. It just feels like a soft bump. And trim your nails!

I’ve been using the lily cup for a few months and I ALWAYS have to wear a thin pad or liner while using my cup because I have tiny leaks and spotting and idk what to do about it

I had found the perfect cup (size small pixie cup) and then gave birth and now I’m on the hunt again because now my cup almost completely comes out when I urinate 😅 Y’all are helping so many people with your videos-thank you so much.

I prefer menstrual discs. I use a ziggy disc and imo it's better than cups.

Super useful! Thank you for your work!!

Thank you so much. Your video was EXTREMELY helpful. This will be my very first cup and now I have an idea on how to go about it all. I kept searching different websites and all the directions had me utterly confused. Thanks again. 👍

Just took the quiz! Soooooo helpful omg.

This video is a serious life saver

I came here bc I hate the Lena cup. I had to cut it up to avoid giving it a 6th and 7th try after being tormented by it. Idk if it’s bc I have a tilted pelvis but it had suctioned to the side of one of my walls and I can almost never grab the end of it to be able to pinch and release the suction. Worst experience ever

This video was SO helpful! Thank you so much!

I had a problem when i bought mine, i have a heavy flow and i bought a large one, and it doesn't fit i could never get it in... I think i need a little small... 😕😢

measuring cant help me cuz my fingers are very short and small

I wish I watched this before I bought a salt cup. I got the regular size and it is way too big!

Your Online quiz was really really helpful thanks!

I bought a Diva Cup on impulse my last period and I wish I had watched this video...while it doesn't hurt, it's definitely too long for me. No leaking or anything, but the stem bothered me even after I cut it

Iam 15, I'm interested on those cups and planning to buy one online.. Idk my size or size to pick so I'm watching this :)

Thank you guys for this video!!!! It helped me a lot I have trouble using Diva cup I didn't do my research before trying it for the first time. I had discomfort using the Diva cup and stop using it ever since but I watch your video I learn that I need softer and smaller diameter for cup I tried answering the quiz they recommend Saal soft cup for me. And I just ordered it on the way hopefully this will work I will update once I use it. 😊 I'm so excited for this I'm tired of pads. Thanks again Putacupinit ☺️☺️

What do you consider the biggest knuckle ? The one that joins your hand or in the middle of your finger. I actually measured so the question doesn't help me

I love long videos!

This is why I bought the duo pack!!

To clarify i didn't carry to term because my son was preemie and i still had a bit of weakening of the pelvic floor and also I'm not 30 and i still fit into the bigger cup category

I'm a first time user with a size 1 but I feel like I need a size 0

All other cups do lol but disc are my fav lol

Thank you so much! Very helpful video

Hi! I took your quiz before buying my first cup and the result was Diva Cup 2, which I in fact bought. After 4 periods of trying to use it I am about to give up! At the beginning I couldn't put it inside, then I spent hours (literally, about 6-8 hours, total, in 4 separate occasions) trying to take it out. Now I don't have much trouble putting it in or out, BUT I can't have it in for more than 30 minutes!!! I have so much pain, my menstrual cramps are just the worst! And they disappear as soon as I take it out. Sometimes the cup turns sideways and it always goes too high so I have to push from inside to remove it. Sometimes I have leaks. I have taken the quiz again with my experience with the cup and it keeps suggesting me to buy the same Diva Cup 2! Is it too big? Too small? Any better suggestions??? I'm 32, no pregnancy, no births, small vagina, severe menstrual cramps, diagnosed endometriosis and an ovary surgery 1.5 years ago. Any help is appreciated!!

I have saalt regular and small..... and veuns small and large cups I wear at times most times I wear disc vs cups

Your quiz helped me buy my first cup. Can't wait to give it a try

Thank you! This was so useful 🥰

I tried the blossom cup and had a pleasurable experience with it the first few days. I had no trouble inserting it and getting it to seal. However, towards the end of my cycle my cup had managed to turn sideways. Literally, hold your cup upright and then rotate it 90 degrees. I had to get some help reaching up and getting rotated back to the upright position before pulling it out. Do I continue use with this cup or do I look for a different cup?

I have a minor bladder prolapse and I don't see anyone addressing this. My obgyn was no help "you can try and see". I bought the Diva size 2 and it felt too long ( didn't know my cervix is lower on my period). It also feels like it's being pushed out.

God I am happy I found this. I wanted to try forever, ordered the organicup but it was horrible. Not flexible and it leaked and didnt feel like it fit me. Happy with this info and I will try again. Although i am a pad girl, so I might just stay with that.

I wish I had watched this video before I bought my first menstrual cup instead of wasting my money in the smaller one I found just because I'm a virgin and have regular flow. Then I got to know I had a high cervix because it was impossible to reach it to remove it. And thanks to this video now I know I have a weak pelvic floor (I pee a little when I laugh or sneeze) so at the end me being a virgin under 30 had nothing to do with it and now I need a large one... I already bought the smallest divacup (they were all the same height but I bought the thinner one), and it was really expensive but if I leak I'll have to buy a bigger one again... don't let anyone tell you using menstrual cups is easy because is not lol

I just started using a Dutchess cup size a I’ve had a baby at 37 weeks and I’m under 30. The cup worked great yesterday but today it’s sliding down a lot idk what is going wrong. Do you think I need a new size or a different cup??

I bought my first one and then saw this video 😂 I’m wondering if this is due to the hardness of the silicone or maybe the cup is too wide, but I find when i try to put it in it hurts. And it hurts a lot if it is too close to what I guess is my bone? I’m not sure, it just hurts an inconceivable amount if it’s too close to my wall

If only I had found your channel first!!! I bought a MCUK, but your chart has let me know that it's much too long

Does the length column in the putacupinit site include the stem or is the length listed just that of the cup chamber, not including the stem?

thanks for the info!

Thank you for yet another amazing video. It's nice that you tilted the model from horisontal to vertical, that makes it somewhat easier to relate to. I just wished that you could also place your fingers not from another persons perspective (directly straight) but from the models (aka the person that tries to find her cervix) - meaning bent. I think this would illustrate the process even better, especially for those who aren't yet familiar with their bodies. I hope it make sense :)

This is so so helpful, really love your channel! I've been using menstrual cups for about a year now. first started with the lily cup compact, which I've experienced some leakage then switched over to femmecycle (petite), I've loved how the femmecycle is so easy to remove with the ring, but for my last period I've experienced a flipped cup!!! it completely flipped horizontally (almost 180 degree flip) I couldnt reach the ring to remove and it took me quite some time to get it out by holding onto the opening. I wonder if it's the fit (or maybe because I have quite a high cervix) or because the cup is too soft and I have really high activity levels? (was wearing it while horse riding and doing yoga (inversions) and a run that day... ) Would really love to get some feedback from experts like you! I'm also thinking of trying the lily cup one because it's so compact and firmer... do you have any advice on that?

Wow fall in love with videos.... found lots of information! Thank you. I have been using Meluna cup S size it wasn’t a good experience I had problems with put it there and then take it out. It was hard for me. Once it even went tooooo far I couldn’t take it out for half an hour. Had no idea how did it happened... I bought Lili cup small size foldable. Omg it changed my life seriously it is super soft and nice. I don’t feel it at all. However I still have AN issue sometimes. I cannot take it out because it goes too up during night I literally struggling with it. Most of time it is ok for me. But the last day of period I am freaking out cervix goes toooo high I cannot reach it. So I am still in a process of finding my PERFECT cup. Could do you please write names of cups which u mention in this video in description box below . Quiz didn’t work for me.

Just to clarify, I’m 23, I’ve had a baby at 39 weeks via cesarean, but I don’t pee when I sneeze, so I have a toned pelvic floor. So I’d get the smaller size, right?

Thank you so much!!

I'm really struggling with finding a cup for me. I've taken the quiz a few times, however there was a question that asked about the cervix height and the only option I could choose was "I have a low cervix and can touch it easily without going past it". Well, I do have an extremely low cervix but can easily go past it, which is why I thought I had a high cervix for a whole year! My cervix is up by a little less than 1 cm which is quite low and most posts are about people with medium high or low cervix. I've been looking into the Meluna Shorty but loads of people aren't too happy with it because, apparently, it leaks a lot. I'm also not sure what kind of firmness I need. I feel like a really soft cup like a Meluna wouldn't be a good idea... Anyone else out there with very low cervix and tight vag that can give some advice? P.S. On the quiz, I got Lunette 1, Size 1. If Google converted the measurements correctly, there is no way such a cup could fit a person with a very low cervix.

I wish I've found this sooner! I purchased a diva cup size 1 last year and constantly struggle to put it in right and it hurts. I just did the cervix test and turns out I have a low cervix

Bri of Precious Stars Pads talks about trimming the stem down if you have a very low cervix; do you recommend this?

Wait wait wait she said you’d only fill a cup I ce it twice on your cycle??? I have a size below 30 no children diva cup and I fill mines twice a day for three days lol I hate my cycle

They fit inside I can't get the dang stupid lilly cup original to open tired many ways lol

can u please do a video on menstrual cups and teenagers? i’m 14 and i’d love to have more information on that! also maybe on the diva cup model 0, because i’ve been surplus about it since it’s so small

I took the test and was recommended a Lily cup, I can tell by reading about it that I was suggested the wrong cup for me. There's no way i'd be able to wear a Lilly Cup comfortably.

What if you have a tilted cervix? I have trouble even keeping tampons in.. my body just wants to push them out

Hey I got a cup a few days ago ( the femometer A or small) and the width was perfect it did not even feel like I was wearing anything. But the cons: I think i have a high cervic so when trying to remove it i could not see the steam at all literally had to do some serious breathing exercise Lol. As I was trying to insert it because the material is soo soft it did not pop open nsterally with my viginal walls so it kept sinking downwards. But i do love the cup was very comfortable especially from me has this is my first time inserting anything inside of me and also no leaks would you recommend me anything with the same width but a bit longer.

super helpful. thank so much. i'll measure my cervix and see what length i need. i used the lena small (should have gotten large) and then tried organicup large, but it still slips down (i didn't know that's normal during a bowel movement! so good to know now). i'll measure cervix length and find that goldilocks cup! thank you!

I’m to small to wear tampons an I’ve had a son via csection i only got one cm I’m only 23 i was wondering if a cup would be right for me

Great saver

Hello, thanks for the video. I tried to take the quiz but can't find it.. is it still online?

I really want to use cups -cost efficient &good for environment. And i tried to measure the hight of my clevix & i have never touch myself - it just grosses me out. So when i put my finger - honesty i dont even know if i put it in the right place.... - the place felt very tight & it hurt a little. When i pulled my finger out it had blood on it -. was on my period. So is there anything else i can do?

What about a size 0?

ahahahahaha the wtf cat meme, love it so funny

So I have a high cervix at 54mm but lily cup is apparently 75 mm. Can’t you cut some of it off? If so would I be able to use it? If anyone knows please tell me!

i'm just convinced I have a xs vag cause it hurts putting in / removing 😔
