If you’re looking for low cervix menstrual cups, you’ve come to the right place. Before choosing a low cervix model it is important to be sure that you actually need it. Shorter cups offer less capacity and too short of a cup can make reaching it for removal more difficult. If you are unsure of how to measure your cervix, please reference our video below.

You know if you’re gonna talk about all these different cups… SHOW US PICTURES OF EVERY ONE!!! I’M OUT!!!! WAY TOO FRUSTRATED TO CONTINUE READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I rarely post comments on sites but felt my experience might help others.
I’m 45yrs old, have a floppy/tilted cervix and have had 2 vaginal births. My cervix can be as high as my second middle finger knuckle at ovulation and as low as one during menstruation. The soft cup ring didn’t work for me, it kept moving and leaking all its contents anytime I went from sitting to standing (& visa versa), when I walked for long periods, exercised and several other everyday movements. I like the idea but not the results. I considered Ziggy but the price is too high for something that might not work. I did buy a diva in a damaged box at Sprouts for 1/2 off. That was way too long and didn’t seem to hold more than 1/4oz. I learned you could flip them inside out, that helped the length but it still didn’t hold enough. I found out my cervix was inside the cup taking up room too. Still, it was better than a tampon, which will never fill more than 1/3 full due to the location of my cervix. If a tampon is just below the cervix it will fill most of the way, when it sits side by side it doesn’t.
After reading another article here and going through reviews I ordered a size large Tieutcup several months ago. It the the grip rings rubbed me raw because the rings were just inside and at the edge of opening. The company was great! They sent me a refund so I could try the small. Again, the rings were very irritating because the cup sits just inside my opening, but it was not as bad as the Lg so I just it for a fully period. Since it was just the rings that bothered me I decided to flip it inside out and tried to remove it just after putting it in to make sure I could remove it. It’s round so it’s not as easy to remove as the pointed diva without having grip rings. The only reason this worked for me is because it sits so I low that I don’t need a stem or the grips. I just put my fingers on each side and very gently squeeze the cup to break the suction, too hard will spill it. Turning it inside out has worked perfectly, there are no outside rings to irritate the sensitive skin. The down side is the capacity, although my cervix doesn’t go very far into the small one it still doesn’t hold a lot. It’s still better than the alternative, but it will never last more than an hour or two on heavy days.
My flow is very heavy on day 2 & 3 (sometimes 4) so I decided to try the large again this month and flip it inside out. Well, I must say the large feels odd but it’s not bothersome enough to go to the small. The capacity outweighs the little discomfort. Basically it sits about an 1/16-1/8” outside. Since there are no rings it’s not rubbing me raw anymore. It isn’t fully comfortable when I walk but I can live with it since I know it won’t fall out (the suction is really good) and it holds more than a super plus tampon and 3 drop pad (I refuse to wear an overnight pad during the day, I hate the feel!). So I’ll take it!!!
I’m in peri menopause so I’m not sure if I want to bother trying out any more cups since these seem to work fine, even if the large isn’t fully comfortable (I don’t really notice the small). I might eventually look into making menstrual underwear for night time since I make my regular ones, but for now this one works with a small liner and emptying 2-3x a day on heavy days.
For ladies with a lower cervix Tieutcup is worth a try. The customer service is great, they really want to help women feel more comfortable and confident during their period. If it doesn’t work out they do offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Some reviews talk about it being a waste of money when it didn’t work out for them, I’m guessing they never contacted the company. The company will first try troubleshooting any possible issues, but if that doesn’t help the company will issue a FULL refund (if purchased on Amazon, I’m not sure about other sites). I did contact them today to let them know the Lg works okay now that it’s inside out. I offered to pay for the cup since it’s working out. The CSR just said they were happy I found a way to make it work. This may be because they cannot take the payment for some reason but I choose to believe it’s because they want women to be happy with their products.
Admin-if you see the above please remove it as I accidentally posted 2x

Sorry, I didn’t see that my comment posted. I left the site and cam back to add something and my comment didn’t show up. Please disregard my second comment.
I wanted to add that I’m 45yrs old, have had 2 vaginal births, have a floppy/tilted uterus and that I’ve been in peri-menopause for 2 years. That means I can skip a month, may have multiples a month and all are usually very heavy and last 4-8 days. More times than not I have 2 to 3 heavy, 5-6 day periods a month. It’s not common to skip a month or just have one a month. So a cup is very helpful during this time.
Is it feasible to use a low cervix cup with a high cervix? I ask because my situation is a bit strange. My gyno told me my uterus is retroverted and my cervix is tilted. I can’t touch my cervix so I’m assuming it’s high, but cups almost always leak, even when sealed properly. The few times I can get cups to work are when I can get them to stay tilted, but this is impossible to do reliably. I’m assuming because my cervix is tilted it’s flowing outside of the cup, so logically I’d just need to place my cup lower right? The problem is most cups find a way to work themselves higher as I wear them, so I’m wondering if I can get a low cervix cup and get to to seal lower in my vagina so ensure it stays under my cervix. Has anyone done this? Any tips for doing it?
My cervix is neither high nor tilted, so I have no experience with this particular problem, but I may have some advice nonetheless. I don’t think it is possible to get the cup to stay low in your vagina. The cup is going to go where it wants to go, and for most people, that means it goes up. A low cervix cup would probably still leak for you, and would pose the additional challenge of being difficult to remove due to your high cervix. Many women with a tilted cervix have reported having better luck with a cup with a wider rim since there is a bigger target for the blood to hit. Maybe look for a cup that both has a wide rim and is long enough for you to remove easily. The chart would be a good place to start.
That’s the best advice I have. I hope you get a reply from someone in a similar situation who can speak from personal experience. Good luck!
In response to allegations of the FemmyCycle cup causing prolapses, FemmyCycle now has the following recommendations for their cup sizes (text obtained from Amazon):
“Regular – If your finger is inserted as far as it will go and you do not feel your cervix or you can just touch your cervix.
Low Cervix – If you can ONLY insert your finger to your SECOND knuckle (about 2″). NOTE: FemmyCycle cannot be used with a very low cervix any lower than your second knuckle (less than 2″) or any degree of prolapse.
Petite (formerly Teen) – Recommended for teens, smaller bodied women, or those with lighter periods who size for Regular.”
This seems odd since it sounds like their regular size is for women with a high cervix, and their low cervix size is for women with an average height cervix. Women with a low cervix ostensibly shouldn’t be using a FemmyCycle at all. Any thoughts on this?
