The Menstrual Cup Quiz
The menstrual cup quiz is embedded above this text. If you cannot see it, please make sure you have cookies enabled or try another browser or device. If the problem persists, please email me.
We’ve combined our extensive menstrual cup knowledge with our Menstrual Cup Comparison Chart to created the original and most accurate menstrual cup quiz (we know, we’ve polled!) to help point you to the best menstrual cup for your body, age, history, activity level, and more. Our goal is to help you find a cup that will work for your needs the first time!
We invite you to take this easy to use quiz, even if you’re a cup user but especially if you aren’t! We have included questions to address the most common complaints about period cups, in the hopes that the answers will lead you to a better cup for you.
Before you take the quiz please keep a few things in mind:
1. We are NOT doctors. We are advocates with decades of combined experience as cup users and countless hours talking with other users and learning from their experiences.
2. For the best results, answer questions based on your average – not doing so will cause your answers to be less accurate, resulting in a less than perfect cup. Keep in mind that It’s not abnormal to empty your period cup more often on heavier days.
3. We can help! If you take the quiz and only receive a suggestion for a cup you use/have used and didn’t love send join our Facebook community! Our quiz works for most people, but bodies are complex! We have a lot of tricks up our sleeves — some we even use ourselves to make our own cups leakproof, and would love to help you make your cup work.
What is the best menstrual cup / period cup for you?
We are often asked what the “best menstrual cup” is and the inconvenient truth is that it is really all about what works for your body and your lifestyle. We wish it were as simple as us telling you our favorite or asking a friend what works for them, but that’s just not the case. Our quiz was thoughtfully designed to help make choosing a cup as simple as possible while also helping to increase the odds that your first cup will work for you.
Our advice is to take the quiz and if you have questions or still need support, join our menstrual cup community on Facebook to get experiences and feedback from nearly 100k menstruators.

I took the quiz… just to see. Turns out it’s pretty accurate. I’ve tried a few cups and I have a favourite. Turns out the si-bell cup is my ideal cup and it’s my go to cup, I love it! Completely changed my life 🙂
Same here! Love love love my SiBell cup.
On my mac (chrome and safari) the quizz is stuck at question 4. There is no “next” button to go on to the next question :/
There isn’t a next button …you tuck all that apples to you and then on the last one you ticked ..that box will light up and sill then have a “submit” button
*tick all that applies* …
Before I had gotten a cup I tried this test …it said a ruby cup would be best…after I had gotten a juju cup I tried this test again but now my answers were different…I still got told ruby …even the other cups that are recommended in the paragraph below your answer…has never said juju for me …so I tried a number of combinations of different answers and every time it’s always the same 5-6 cups that comes up …..how come?
I’ve been trying to use menstrual cups off and on for a year now and can’t seem to find one that doesn’t leak. The quiz suggested a Diva Cup, Lena, and Super Jenny (all large/size 2) and I while I’m certain that the cup is opening, they all leak, A LOT. I’ve never actually seen anything accumulate in the cup, just along the sides. (i’m over 35, baby via c-section, high cervix, regular/medium flow, no allergies). I’ve read all the my cup is leaking tips I can find and can’t find a solution. Help!
I reɑd this piece of writing fully concerning the difference οf latеst and previous technologies, it’s remarkable article.
Bought that as a gift to my mom and she liked information technology. wonderful premium pleasant amount and also my mother enjoyed that. In addition sent super accelerated. So if you require a gifts quick and you such as this versus here is the 1 it is best to get!
Purchased this one as a present towards the mother and she liked that. awesome top quality awesome amount and the mother liked they. Also sent very fast. So if you need a present accelerated and you like this versus this is actually the someone you will need to pick!
Bought that being a gifts of the mom additionally she enjoyed things. kind good amazing expense and also the mom liked this. Additionally sent very fast. When you need a gift accelerated while such as this then this is the an it is best to pick!
I took the test 3 times with the same answers & got 3 different suggestions. Does that mean that there are several that might work? I’m concerned that it didn’t record all my selections on the page about cervixes and cramps. Thanks!
I’m a first-time user along with being a first time mom. And let me tell you! This cup is amazing!!!!! I took the quiz & bought the cup they suggested was best for me, and it was seriously the best decision I’ve made! I absolutely love it and will never go back to tampons! Don’t be intimidated by the thought of trying something that’s different (and weird for some). I am completely comfortable with my body so it was no big deal to me to have to insert & take it out to empty. I truly recommend taking the quiz, and taking the plunge of buying one! Love my cup. Thank you putacupinit!
I bought the SiBell by the way & I LOVE IT 🙂
Hey, this is a great way to find a cup
I just think that the option of the cup leaking was missing on the cup user experience page. Also the Lena Cup was suggested to me, but it didn’t say which size
So I tried the blossom cup and it got stuck! I had to go the urgent care to have them take it out. But I really liked it when it was in. I just have a very high cervix but now I am scared to try a different one. I really jusy want to know what the longest cup is out there so hopefully I can try again next month.
Help I can’t get the quiz to load so I can see which one I should try.
hi. based on the quiz, I was recommended the super jenni, small. but I am over 30 and have had a baby. shouldn’t I purchase the large?
Their small is about the same size as a large for other brands. I personally use their small size and love it. -A
Dear,
test suggested me Meluna shorty mostly based on my low cervix. I bought it in M size, classic softness, but it leaks very often, although half empty. Should I consider firmer cup, or larger cup diameter?
I gave birth twice, exercise 2x a week pilates, my cervix is around 4cm. I am considering Lena S, Lali S and Merula.
My results were: A Super Jennie Size Small or Large, Lady Cup 2, or Yuuki Size 2
Unfortunately none of these results is appropriate for me because I have a low cervix and they are all too long. I currently have a MeLuna M which is too long even with the stem cut off, and it is the same length as the Super Jennie size Small and shorter than all of the other cups.
Basically, I was recommended 3 cups that would be useless for me 🙁
I’ve been clicking from page to page to add to chart to page… where the eff is this quiz and why is this page so difficult to navigate
Where is said quiz? I have looked all over using both my phone and computer. Not finding a quiz… I have not used or tried a cup yet but am interested. I am more interested in finding something for my daughter who is soon to start but hasn’t yet. I’ll keep researching I guess.
Update: I found the quiz. I needed to use Firefox browser….
Hm… I’ve tried both Firefox and Brave, and still nothing.
I found I had to disable all security settings in order for it to work
Hi Amanda! I think I really need your advice: I am 32 y.o., active person (I do rock climbing), no child, heavy flow. I bought MoonCup B but it was still leaking so I replaced it with Lunette 2 because I thought maybe the size was the problem. I had a leakage with Lunette 2 when it was 1/2 full + I can feel it, I guess the rim is too firm, and I also feel a little bit of pressure on my bladder. I have measured my cervix position during my cycle and it is 3 cm (1.18 inch) and also a little bit tilted. I think that my cervix sits in my cup and that’s the reason why the small Mooncup was still leaking and why my big Lunette leaked while being only 1/2 full. I was considering cups for lower cervix but I am not sure because with both my cups I had really a though time to get them out – they both goes too up:/ … which I guess is strange when my cervix is not high during my cycle.
PS: Based on quiz I was recommended Lunette B.
PS2: English is my second language but I hope it’s possible to understand me:)
I’m not sure if there are enough women with this issue to address it on your site, but I had a pelvic floor reconstruction after my bladder AND colon prolapsed. My colon was falling out so there was a lot of reconstruction. My vaginal walls were rebuilt both anterior and posterior. Nonetheless, I’m now >40, had 3 babies, but back to the size of pre-baby. For the survey, I answered the questions a couple of different ways (i.e. saying I have not had a baby) to see what results might yield. I used menstrual cups for about 7 years before the reconstruction without issue (a Sckoon 2 and Diva 2) but now have extreme pain and issues with a Sckoon 1 (the sckoon was my preferred cup before surgery). I also am unable to urinate about 1/2 the time when the cup is in place. I flipped it inside out after cutting the stem off because it was so uncomfortable. The ridges on the cup itself and stem were painful every time I moved. I’ve ordered a Meluna shorty and Meluna small in hopes the smaller diameter might help – even if I have to change it more often. Anyhow, I thought I would bring up those of us who are in this boat of mystery.
Hi there, what does the N/A refer to for firmness? I use a Juju and wanted to compare its firmness to others. Thanks
it means they have never tried/held one to know the difference :-/
I did not like tampons. I always felt them. It seemed to irritate me. I never forgot that it was there and was even sometimes painful.I have an inverted utetus too.
If this is the case. Will I have trouble with these cups. I have a sensitive bladder too.
One suggestion wss the luna 2 sensitive. Will it make a big difference to the feeling inside?
Thanks.
Can anyone help me out? I have the Lunette Model 2. I am 23 and have not given birth but as I thought my flow was on the heavier side and i have a high cervix I got it. It is a perfect fit in that I cant feel it… and it slips right up so the stem is comfortably in. 2 minor issues: 1. I got my period last night so I put it in before bed. Emptied it this morning. No leaks. PERFECT. Easy removal and insertion. I put it back in. I worked out/some weights thismorning, BRILLIANT, no leaks. But 5 hours later I noticed small amounts of spotting on the toilet paper. Odd as it didnt leak a bit for the 8 or more hours I had it over night. I went to take it out to see if it was full and this is where issue 2 occured: the cup sits at an angle where it is sort of tipped forward, so the stem sits towards the back and to the right, so i can only easily insert a finger to the front, however when I tried breaking the seal i found myself pushing straight onto my cervix through the cup… which was painful, and this removal took alot more work and effort than earlier thismorning to try and bear it down past my cervix to an angle i could comfortably break the seal, is this normal?. Now the cup kind of slipped out eventually and spilled but Im certain it wasnt full causing a leak… so cleaned up and reinserted. 2 hours later i noticed the same spotting and again removed to investigate (easier than the second time by far) This time it didnt spill, and there was barely a thimble-full of fluid, however i could see where the blood had gone up the side of the cup so i think a tad was able to leak. I have been laying on my stomach a bit today so as the cup appears to tilt forward inside me I believe this is what is causing a slight spill. This time I have tried bearing down and gently pulling the cup down and letting it slip back up to get a better position and seal, thoroughly checked it is properly open and sealed (100%) and am hoping for the best. Does anyone have any insight into why this may be happeninh? I have a lunette model 1 on the way also to try both sizes, my thoughts are that maybe the cup is pressing against the pubic bone and causing a dip while i lay on my stomach causing the leak. My Model 1 is arriving today so I want to see of maybe a smaller size will stop this happening… but my concern then is that the model to is the perfect length, and i am quite *tight* down there in the opening, making a bit of work to get a hold of the grip rings on the cup (stem is useless just a peace of mind thing as it doesnt irritate at all) im worried the smaller cup will be too short! Any advice or pointers welcome!
My result is:
Your ideal cup is a Fleurcup, Lena Sensitive or Large Si-Bell!
Based on your answers you should consider using an average cup that is
fairly average in length and firmness. You could also consider brands
such as OrganiCup or Ruby.
It only says Large on the last one, but is this meaning all options I should be getting large? Because I use a size small now and size-wise it seems good, I don’t want to go bigger if I don’t have to.
Exactly where is this quiz? I don’t see anything linking to it.
