If you’re looking for firm 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.
Average or average firm cups are better for new users because they take little to no coaxing or manipulation to open once inside. Firmer cups also tend to better for those who experience slipping down during wear. If you’re a very active person you will want an average firm or firm cup to prevent your muscles from pushing the cup out during exercise.
We suggest taking our Menstrual Cup Quiz before purchasing a cup.
