Which size is best for menstrual cup?

Which size is best for menstrual cup?

While each brand of menstrual cup may differ slightly (please refer to the specific sizing guidelines for your specific brand), when it comes to sizing your menstrual cup, there are two main factors to consider:

  1. Are you under or over the age of 30?
  2. Have you had a vaginal birth?

These two factors are important, since as we age, and after having a baby, our pelvic floor tone becomes weaker. If you have not had a baby but are over the age of 30, it is still recommended that you purchase the larger size menstrual cup. This is due to the fact that as we age, our hips widen and our pelvic floor muscles begin to lose their elasticity. Since it is our pelvic muscles that hold the menstrual cup in position, you don’t want to use the smaller one, and then risk having it leak!

  • If you are over the age of 30 and have had a vaginal birth, most brands will recommend you select the large model cup.
  • If you are under 30 and have not had a vaginal birth, you will usually select the smaller model cup.
  • If you are under 30 years of age and have had a c-section, consider the smaller size cup.
  • If you are over 30 years of age and have had a c-section, consider the larger cup.

Occasionally, you may need to consider other factors before determining your correct cup size. These include:

The tone and strength of your pelvic floor

Perhaps you are one of those very dedicated women who heeded the advice of your care giver to ‘regularly do your kegel exercises’! If so, or if you regularly undertake Yoga or Pilates routines, you may have developed particularly strong pelvic floor muscles. In this case, many menstrual cup manufacturers will recommend you select the smaller size cup – regardless of whether you have delivered vaginally or not.

Where your cervix is located

Before using a menstrual cup, we recommend you check the position/height of your cervix. If you have a low cervix (short vaginal canal), then you may find that the smaller cup model provides a better fit. Conversely, if you have a high cervix (long vaginal canal), then you will most likely find the larger model more suitable.

Are you a teenager or not had penetrative sex?

Most brands will recommend the smaller size menstrual cup for teenagers or women who have not had penetrative sex. This is due to having a potentially un-stretched hymen and/or tighter pelvic floor muscles. A smaller cup is generally recommended for young women wanting to reduce the risk of stretching their hymen. At this point, it is worth mentioning that the hymen can also sometimes be torn or stretched while participating in various forms of sport and also when using tampons. In some instances a woman may in fact be born without a hymen at all. An un-stretched hymen may make the insertion of larger cups more difficult and sometimes painful. The hymen and pelvic floor tone will begin to stretch and weaken as a women ages, even if she has not had penetrative sex. In this instance a larger cup may be a suitable option.

Level of flow

While even the small size menstrual cups will usually hold a substantial amount of menstrual fluid, women with exceptionally high period flows, may wish to use the larger cup. So, if you are under 30 years of age, have not had a vaginal birth, but do have a very high level of menstrual flow, you may wish to select a larger model cup.

The Ruby Cup is one brand which specifically recommends choosing a size based on your level of flow combined with your cervix height, rather than your age or stage of life.

Everybody’s body is unique. So, when it comes to questions around menstrual cup sizing, we need to start the conversation with you – your body and your periods.

This way, we can help you find out which size of menstrual cup is best designed to meet your needs and which size will best help you manage your menstrual flow.

In this article, we’ll explain how to choose the right menstrual cup size for you.

And they’re made to fit every body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Both cup sizes are made from soft, &lt;a href="https://rubycup.com/blogs/news/medical-grade-silicone" target="_blank" title="Medical grade silicone" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;medical grade silicone&lt;/a&gt; and are designed to be easy to use and comfortable to wear.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Post:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://rubycup.com/blogs/news/got-a-menstrual-cup-that-doesnt-fit-heres-what-you-can-do" target="_blank" title="What to do if your menstrual cup doesn't fit" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Got a Menstrual Cup That Doesn't Fit?

How heavy is your menstrual flow?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400"&gt;The first thing to consider is how much blood you lose when you have your period. We call this your menstrual flow and it can be light or it can be heavy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Light flow?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you have a light menstrual flow, you may be using small or regular tampons and slim pantyliners or pads. You’re likely to be changing your period product a few times during the day.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Heavy flow?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you have a heavy menstrual flow, you’re likely to be using super or super plus size tampons and maxi pads. You’re also likely to be changing your period product frequently during the day and also at night.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Post:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://rubycup.com/blogs/news/tampons-vs-menstrual-cups" target="_blank" title="Comparison of tampons and menstrual cups" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Tampons vs Menstrual Cups: Which Is the Right Choice for You?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Do you have a low cervix or a high cervix?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0147/2724/9974/files/choose3_480x480.jpg?v=1601387005" alt="cervix measuring guide" width="480x480" height="480x480" style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto"&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt; How to find your cervix:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;To find your cervix, you’ll need to slide your longest finger into your vagina. You can do this while you’re lying down, or with one leg up on the side of the bath or the toilet lid. You can also do this whether or not you have your period. We recommend that you wash your hands well first and try to relax. Then carefully slide your longest finger into your vagina.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;What does a cervix feel like?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;You’ll find your cervix sitting at the top of your vagina. It’s likely to be at the top of your front vaginal wall – closer to your belly button than to your spine. To the touch, it will feel like a smooth round, raised circle with a dimple in the middle – a bit like the tip of your nose.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;b&gt;Do you have a high cervix?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;If your longest finger goes almost all the way into your vagina before it reaches your cervix you have a high cervix.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;b&gt;Do you have a low cervix?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;If your longest finger finds your cervix around the middle knuckle mark, then you have a low cervix.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;a href="https://rubycup.com/products/duo-pack#buy" target="_blank" title="Buy Ruby Cup duo pack" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0147/2724/9974/files/duo_pack_480x480.jpg?v=1603356157" alt="Ruby cup duo pack" style="float:none"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Post:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://rubycup.com/blogs/news/where-should-menstrual-cup-sit" target="_blank" title="Where a menstrual cup should sit and how to insert it" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Where Should a Menstrual Cup Sit &amp;amp; How to Insert It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt; &lt;b&gt;What size menstrual cup do I need&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;?
