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.

@lavan62985 жыл бұрын
Audrey this could be happening due to a number of reasons. 1) you have a heavier flow and the cup gets full quickly. if this is the case, change it more frequently. 2) the cup is too long and your cervix sits INSIDE your cup (the cervix should be just above the cup). this has to be the reason if when you take your cup out, you see it's not full, but there has still been leaking/spotting. if this is the case, buy a shorter cup or cut off/trim the stem. 3) the cup doesn't open once it's inside your vagina, even if you may think it has opened. to solve this, i suggest you watch some videos on how to get the cup open by PACII and Precious Star Pads. hope this helps! :)

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!!

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?
@PutACupInIt5 жыл бұрын
Thank you 😘The flip could also just be cause by the cup being so round without a longer stem to prevent the tilting. I've had this happen with a more "round" cup. It happening once doesn't mean it will happen again now that you're aware, keeping sure it;s more centered in the vagina versus allowing it to begin tilted to one side or the other helps prevent it. The One isn't much more firm than the compact from my perspective but overall it's a nice little cup and the length is better than the compact. It's shaped in a way that it shouldn't be possible for it to flip. Hope that helps a bit and also I'd suggest joining our group if you haven't to ask there for help as needed :) vag.life/cupnation

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?

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.

Why don't you look at precious star pads. The reviewer has a very low cervix as well. I'm sure you'll find help in her videos

Hello there) Merula original, Meluna Shorty, Juju model 4, MermaidCup Guppy, Hello Cup Low Cervix. These cups are for low cervix and could work for you. Choose depending on diameter, firmness and the length difference and the volume. Good luck❤️

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?
@PutACupInIt5 жыл бұрын
Definitely. Trimming the stem is a good way to immediately lose some length, but also many people find the stem to be annoying or even irritating (we do, so we are team chop all the way). That said, it's important not to trim it until you are sure that you need/want it. If your cervix moves high during your cycle it could make reaching it a bit more difficult depending on the cup and your anatomy.

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.

Knowing your body is exponentially going to help choose a cup. The quiz is a good starting point and is often going to give people a cup that works but having a robust understanding of your body and cycle will always help really pinpoint what will work. Either by knowing a cup in your result is not going to work or looking at the results and comparing them to see which is best based on what you can buy where you live, or ignoring and buying from the wide variety out there. :)

@@PutACupInIt I thiiinnninkkkkk I found one that is going to work for me! =) I'm still learning but I am able to insert and remove it comfortably. All I know about my body is I am very petite so "normal" size cups won't work. Imma try these cups I got when my period strikes! The folding video was super helpful! Punch down fold works best for me =)

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 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?
@somethingelse12573 жыл бұрын
Honestly if you’re going to use a cup you should really get to know your body. Finding where your cervix is, is a good start. I do think that it is important that you know where your vagina is. It helped me to do this in the shower because it feels more natural to be naked there and water is good lubrication. If you feel to uncomfortable with touching your vagina you can also use reusable pads or period underwear. Hope this helps.
@alainag7442 жыл бұрын
I also feel weird doing that but I am glad I measured my cervix because it turns out I have a very high cervix and will need the longest cup. I think you need to relax when you measure your cervix. If you are nervous, your muscles will tighten up. So try doing it again and see if you can feel your cervix. You also have to be on your period to know how high or low your cervix gets and which cup to get.

Have you tried using a water based lubricant to help insert? The first few times I attempted it was a little on the painful side, but the lube and repetition really helped me.
