Which Menstrual Cup Is The Right Size For Me?
Choosing the right size menstrual cup can ensure that it is comfortable to wear and does not leak. For beginners, you can follow these steps to choose the right size.
Menstrual cup sizing: How big is a menstrual cup?
If you haven’t seen a menstrual cup before, at Dance Cup we have two menstrual cup sizes – small and large. And they’re made to fit every body.
Both cup sizes are made from soft, medical grade silicone and are designed to be easy to use and comfortable to wear.

When you decide to choose one of these sizes, there are two factors to consider.
Do you have a low cervix
or a high cervix?
• How to find your cervix: 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.
• What does a cervix feel like? 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.
• Do you have a high cervix? If your longest finger goes almost all the way into your vagina before it reaches your cervix you have a high cervix.
• Do you have a low cervix? If your longest finger finds your cervix around the middle knuckle mark, then you have a low cervix.
How heavy is your menstrual flow?
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.
• Light flow? 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.
• Heavy flow? 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.
Now you can choose the right menstrual cup size based on your body information
