If you have any additional questions, I’ll do my best to try to answer them for you. Since you have experience with using tampons, I feel that you might be fine with inserting a larger cup (for capacity), as a folded cup will be about the same size as a tampon during insertion (maybe except for the “C” fold).Haakaa sounded like a Polynesian word (I’m part Hawaiian and we have similar words), are you in New Zealand?For someone with a medium/low cervix, a bell-shaped cup might be a bit more comfortable because the base of the cup is rounded and doesn’t taper to a point like “V”-shaped cups do.First of all, with menstrual cups becoming more and more popular, an influx of them are being manufactured. Depending on how long you’ve had your Yuuki, they also had a firmness called ‘economic’ which was also more of a medium firmness but now they only refer to ‘economic’ as in the packaging that you receive.How about the Korui or the Menstro?I used the Diva cup (size A) successfully without problems for years. They usually take on an oval shape after use and may not return to a perfect ring.Many companies will have a size selection printed on the packaging based on your age or how many births you’ve had. Except for a handful, almost any other small size cup in another brand is going to be shorter than that.I’m 25 and have never had kids. It is not rough on my bladder or anything, but I’d like something a little softer.Let me know if you have any additional questions. I measure today on my period and have a medium-high cervix (almost to the 3rd knuckle). The firmness of the rim is just about the same as the EvaCup large, but the diameter is more narrow which should ease the pressure that you’re experiencing.Here’s a few cups that might interest you (in no particular order):I have a medium to low cervix and have heavy periods. So glad I found your site/reviews!Genial Day medium – This cup may be found under different names depending on your location. Until then, Good Luck & Happy Browsing!Diva Cup Model 1 – This is their middle size as they have a model 0, 1, and 2.
I’m sorry that it’s just not your perfect cup, though.Saalt small is 45 mm without the stem, and the large is 52 mm without the stem. This shape and flared rims tend to make these cups ride up and sit a little higher in the vaginal fornix. The air holes are on the larger side and seem to make it easier (at least for me) to release any seal/suction that the cup has created.I understand that trying different cups can be pricey. This cup holds 30ml to the rim providing your cervix doesn’t sit too deeply into the cup.The Diva Cup does have an extra inner seal between the stem and the base. But what if you decided to have a spontaneous sleepover at a friend's place? I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of dealing with my period at a pal's place...especially if I have to dump out blood into the toilet or sink.
The rim is on the meatier side which may help this cup to open easy even though the body is softer. I was very happy but now i am having some issues i feel like the cup moves or i can push it down very easy, and for the past four months on my first two days of my period i am having mayor leaks. Please Suggest? There is one notch left on the stem, but I’m not sure if I cut it off entirely if I’m cutting the bottom open?
The only plus side I saw was that it can last up to 12 hours. I’m 35, no kids with what I think is a pretty light flow (even on my heaviest days I can leave a regular sized tampon for 8-10 hours and need nothing overnight). The only hassles that I experience with it is insertion-- it does take some practice to get used to it-- and the eventual emptying of it. 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.Personally, I only feel those bubbling/gurgling sensations when my cup is almost full (or doesn’t have very much capacity left due to my cervix occupying the space) and I need to empty it. It also has an inner ring for added firmness to help get this cup to open. Do you find it’s the same for you?I’m 33, medium-high cervix (half way between second knuckle and end of finger), never had a baby.If my link doesn’t work, you’ll have to copy and paste it to view the medium firmness, small & medium-sized, “V”-shaped cups or select them yourself by visiting the link “Cup Comparison” in the header of this page.Here are my suggestions and my thoughts on them (in no particular order):Did you see the new Venus Cup? I’m sure there’s a menstrual cup FB group in your area. As a previous poster stated, it can become a very pricey trial and error process!
I tried cutting the diva cup as short as possible, it’s better but still not ideal. Overall, I think the Diva Cup is awesome and works fine so long as you allow yourself the time to get the hang of getting it in right.
Sometimes so high that it’s either hard to reach or completely out of reach. Do you think the Ruby Cup in M would also be a good option for me? I understand the appeal of the Diva Cup, but I think I'm going to stick to pads and tampons.We may earn commission from links on this page, but we only recommend products we love.
