Find the Right Menstrual Cup With This Quiz
When I first heard about menstrual cups, I thought there were only two sizes: size 1 and size 2. (Some brands, including the Diva I tried for the first time, only offer two sizes, that’s all). But there is a huge variety of shapes and sizes out there, and one of them may very well be perfect for you.
This Put a Cup in It quiz asks nine questions to help you narrow down your options. I went through some trial and error to figure out which cup is right for me, but when I passed this quiz, my result was exactly the model I now have and love . Spooky.
Here are the questions he asks:
- How old are you?
- Did you carry a full-term baby and give birth? (Caesarean section and vaginal delivery counts.)
- How active are you?
- Do you know if you have a high or low cervix? (This is a multi-item checklist that also covers some other anatomical features.)
- What is your average flow depending on how often you change your tampon (if you are using tampons)?
- What is your average consumption based on how often you empty the cup (if you are using a cup)?
- Do you have urinary incontinence?
- What problems, if any, have you encountered with the cups? (This is another checklist.)
- Are you allergic to silicone, rubber or TPE?
Each of these questions has to do with how the cup fits. Older people or those who have given birth to a baby usually need a larger size. People who are very active usually prefer a cup made from a stiffer material (it is less likely to budge), but people with incontinence tend to prefer a softer cup. Your answers to these questions will help you not only choose the right cup size, but also choose the right brand or features. MeLuna, for example, can sell you a cup of any size and softness.
