The cup might be the right size, but it might be too firm and pushing too hard on your vaginal walls. It could also work for women with a tilted cervix who need to wear their cups lower (I don’t have one so this is speculation, not speaking from experience). This bundle includes Lily Cup™ One for beginners and Ziggy Cup™ 2 for those looking for a mess-free sex solution.

Some people worry that menstrual cups leak, but a 2019 literature review found that reports of leakage with cups were either the same as or less frequent than with pads or tampons.

And switching to a menstrual cup or disc reduces the number of disposable tampons or pads you’d ordinarily toss in the trash. I also completely removed the stem, even more than the suggested as leaving any just caused irritation, now I’ve cut that off (the base of the cup is solid for a good few mm’s after the stem) this hasn’t made removal any different as they sit so low you can still reach to remove the seal. Because it took the menstrual cup, something that’s been around for more than a hundred years, and reinvented it.If you end up trimming off a ball or loop, you’re essentially defeating the purpose of that whole setup.

The other thing to think about with ball, loop, or thin stem designs is whether you’ll wind up modifying the cup. Yes, though you generally shouldn’t wear both the NuvaRing (an insertable birth control ring) and the menstrual cup at the same time.Yes, you can exercise with a cup in place, though first you might want to give yourself some time to practice with the cup inserted before you do any strenuous activities.
