Soft Menstrual Cups Put A Cup In It

If you’re looking for soft menstrual cups, you’ve come to the right place. Choosing a cup with the correct firmness for your body can make a huge difference in your comfort and the effectiveness of the cup. In general, softer cups are more comfortable because they don’t apply any outward pressure but they can be harder to get open inside. We call softer cups “fiddle cups” because there is often some manual maneuvering that has to be done in order to get the cup to open once inside. Soft average cups will be slightly better when it comes to opening and still offer a high level of comfort.

We suggest taking our Menstrual Cup Quiz before purchasing a cup.

  1. I need help! I tried the Cora cup and it was too painful then I tried Lena Sensitive small.
    The Lena was just as painful as the Cora because the rim is too firm.
    I tried flipping the Lena inside out and it was so much easier to insert BUT I was scared to let go! My body seemed to want to suck it right up. I have trouble inserting just a finger so I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to reach it. Any ideas about which cup to try next? I definitely feel more comfortable having a stem to reach for. THANKS!

    1. You might be sensitive, so try a softer cup? Go look at the comparison chart and look at the stem lengths on firmness level 2.
