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.

What i don’t understood is actually how you are no longer actually a
lot more well-appreciated than you might be right now. You’re so intelligent.
You understand thus significantly relating to this subject, produced
me in my opinion imagine it from a lot of varied angles.
Its like women and men aren’t involved until it’s something to do
with Woman gaga! Your personal stuffs great. At all times handle it up!
Took your quiz a while back and suggested the Lynnette.
I just feel a lot of pressure and even pain on my cervix.
Is it too long?
Do I need the Merula or something like that instead?
Diva cup is certainly not for me it also made me feel like I was in labor.

I already use the Lunette, and I got it on this quiz! Good to know
You arее myy aspiration , I have few blogs ɑnd occasionally run out
from to post .
Hi, I’m pretty new in this and it’s good that I found your site. I’m curious to know whether it’s okay to use the smaller cup even though I gave birth vaginally, because with bigger cup sometimes I feel it somewhat pokes my bladder.
And just last night my cup leaked. What could be the cause of it? This is my second time of using the cup. The last time it was no leak. Was it because I cut half of the stem?
Thank you for your answer.
Is the one stop shop for all vape products.

and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward
to brand new updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!
I love this quiz. Thanks for doing such an amazing work. I had a small complain about it though. It seems if I put in the quiz that I have a heavy flow with tampons/pads and dont use cups the quiz recommends the bigger size saalt/lunette/lena etc. But if i say i have heavy flow with the cup and say pads/tampons dont apply to me it tells me to use a small lunette/salt/lena etc. I am not sure if this is on purpose. But I feel that it should at least recommend similar sizes if not the same brands in both cases since while I know flow is not always the main concern and fit matters more. If anything it should recommend bigger cups for experienced users since they are more likely to able to make it work. The reason I mention this is because while I myself got recommended the right thing when I put in the quiz I didnt think it would have if I had know my flow in terms of cups and was concerned about it getting full too soon.
Has anyone tried and/or heard of the Athena cup? Can anyone tell me something about it or compare it to other cups listed here?
Hi, I’m looking for some advise. I’ve never used a cup before. I’ve taken the quiz but my question is,
on the quiz it asks about your flow. Well on day 1and2 my flow is very light but on day 3 am very heavy, i have to use a ultra tampon and change it about every 2 -3 hrs. Then the next few days i’m back to a medium to light flow again. I also have average cervix. The quiz recommends SAALT SOFT, SUSTAIN CUP, LENA SENSITIVE, ORGANICUP, and RUBY. Has anyone tried or use any of those cups?
I know you already did improvements to the quiz and it is very helpful but I was wondering if you could make it a little more specific on the question that asks if you used a cup before and you werent happy with it, to have an option to say which cup so that it doesnt appear as one of the recommendations?
Helpful information. Lucky me I discovered your web site
by chance, and I am stunned why this accident did not came about in advance!
I bookmarked it.
Hi,
I’m having difficulties accessing the quiz and it’s not due to cookies.
Please can someone help? I’ve tried on mobiles, tablets, pcs, but still no joy.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
If it’s not loading and java and cookies are both enabled that is weird- do you have pop-up blogers or any aggressive ad blockers installed maybe?
Help!! So, I’m a first time user and have taken this quiz about 30 times. lol I bought a LUNA Large because on day 2 and 3, I bleed crazy heavy. Yesterday, I was changing it every 45 minutes-2 hours. Half the time, I’m alternately catching blood and/or leaking. Half the time it falls down. Even the times when I can’t feel it, I still leak and when I check, the cup is filled halfway. Is it user error that will get better as I get more skilled at insertion or should I try a different cup? I do have mild incontinence, if that helps and a mid-high cervix. I’m 42 and have had kids. Any help would be appreciated. I’m going on a cruise next month and of course, will be on my period during! I’d like to get something that works before I’m out of the country.
I’ve had 2 vaginal births and am 31 yo so naturally I purchased the lunette size 2 but it is too long even when I already cut part of the stem, I sometimes (only sometimes) have trouble getting it to unfold and each period I have trouble the first and second time I put it in, I push it in but it kinda feels like it’s instantly rejected and wants to come out, after taking this quiz it suggests lunette size 2 so I have to assume this test is pure crap.
Anybody been through this?, I love my lunette but have trouble with the aforementioned details… should I purchase lunette size 1?
Also even during the heaviest days of my period I don’t even fill it halfway in 12-14 hours
I wish the quiz asked questions about prolapse…I can barely get a tampon in as I’m working through some prolapse issues. I have not purchased a cup because I assume I will not be able to get it positioned correctly. When I use a tampon now it leaks so I know it’s not properly placed. Please add more information for people with prolapse…it’s very common.
Hello. Im a first time cup user in her late 30s with no children. I have been attempting to use the Flex cup in large for 4 months now. I purchased it bc I liked the idea of the suction breaking when the tab is pulled. However, the suction is so unreal that the whole cup folds in on its self (the stopper on pull rings pulls all the way through the base) making super hard and horribly uncomfortable to get out the rest of the way!!! I’ve tried reaching the bottom of the cup so I don’t have to use the pull stem for the whole extraction, but I can’t reach it or it’s too slippery. Should I try a softer or shorter cup?? Help, it’s so scary and uncomfortable when my cup collapses in!
Hi! So I have the Diva Cup model 2 and I don’t know if anyone else has this issue or if it is just me… I can fill the cup withing 8 hours, literally fill it to the point where I start leaking…. Should I contact my OBGYN do you think or yeah idk.
I am an aerialist in search of the perfect cup for a very active person. I’ve never used a cup before and am feeling very overwhelmed by the options. (im in my mid 30s)
Amazing post but I think it lacks some more information. Also my cup is the small but very good cup of diva.
I’m new to the world of menstrual cups, I’ve solved the quiz, but still I’m not sure which cup to get. I’ve tried Lily Cup One, and it’s too soft for me, I have difficulty opening it and making the seal. I’m 36 years old, never give birth, my cervix is about 45mm, I have regular bleeding, and I’m rather active person – I workout 4-5 times a week, mostly cardio and strentgh combination type of workouts. My quiz result is Meluna Sport, but after cheking some of reviews, I think it would be too firm for me as a newbie. Please suggest me cup that is firm enough for easy opening and sports activities but also easy to handle for a begginer. Thank you.
Hi, thank you for doing this!
I can’t reach my cervix with my pointer finger and I took your quiz three times as I used three different cups so far (Moon Cup, 15 years ago, leaked, pressure on uretra, stem to be cut completely; Lily Cup, stem to be cut completely, more confy, leaked and didn’t open easily, eventually I lost it; Lily Cup Compact, pretty confy but too tiny, leaks and it’s almost full in less than two hours).
Now, I guess I am an ergonomical, no rim, no stem type, but your quiz keeps on suggesting the shapes I don’t feel good for me.
Between the options, your quiz should maybe mention something like ” the stem pinches me everywhere” and “the pressure on the uretra” statement should have more weight, as it makes the cup veeery unconfortable to the point that you stop using it. I may be wrong, but I felt that was due to the rim, as with the Lily cup that was ok, and the Lily Compact it’s so tiny to be confy despite its stem and rim (yet leaks and has not enough capacity).
I just bought the Fun Cup, I’ll get them next week and I hope it will be the one for me… I’m quite close to pre-menopause, at this pace I’ll no longer need it before I found the perfect one for me!
