What To Know Before You Get Started
We’ve combined our extensive menstrual cup knowledge with our Menstrual Cup Comparison Chart to create the original and most accurate menstrual cup quiz (we know, we’ve polled!) to help point you to the best menstrual cup for your body, age, history, activity level, and more. Our goal is to help you find a cup that will work for your needs the first time!
We invite you to take this easy-to-use quiz, even if you’re a cup user, but especially if you aren’t! We have included questions to address the most common complaints about period cups in the hopes that the answers will lead you to a better cup for you.
Before you take the quiz, please keep a few things in mind:
- I am not a doctor. This quiz was designed by advocates with decades of combined experience as cup users and people who have had to navigate menstruation for at least twice that. It was also developed with the consideration of countless hours spent talking with others, listening to their feedback, and learning from their experiences. This quiz was informed and designed by experience at its core. It is a sharing of peer experiences and is not medical advice.
- For the best, most accurate results, answer each question to the best of your ability and based on averages. For example, if you have one heavy day with the rest being light, I suggest selecting a medium or average flow rather than basing that answer on your heaviest or lightest day. Answering based on the more extreme portions of your period will likely result in reduced accuracy and a less-than-ideal cup. Please also remember that it’s normal to empty your period cup more often on heavier days.
- We can help! If you take the quiz and only receive a suggestion for a cup you use or have used and don’t love, join our Facebook community, and we can collectively help you troubleshoot! Our menstrual cup quiz works for most people, but bodies are complex! We have a lot of tricks up our sleeves — some we even use ourselves to make our own cups leakproof, and we would love to help you make your cup work.
What is the best menstrual cup for you?
I am often asked what the “best menstrual cup” is, and the inconvenient truth is that it is all about what works for your body and your lifestyle. I wish it were as simple as telling you my favorite cup or asking a friend what works for them, but that’s just not the case.
I may be biased, but I believe we have the best menstrual cup quiz. Our quiz was thoughtfully designed to make choosing a cup as easy as possible by giving you the confidence of knowing that the cup you’re choosing was selected based on your body, period, wants, and needs.
My best advice is to start by taking the quiz and answering each question to the best of your ability. Each answer is carefully weighted in order to calculate what cup will work best for your needs. Once completed, you will be presented with 3 to 6 cups that are similar and solely based on your answers. You can confidently choose any cup listed or fine-tune your decision by comparing your results on the menstrual cup chart or comparison tool.
If you have questions or need additional support and encouragement, join the Put A Cup In It Community on Facebook to get experiences and feedback from nearly 100k menstruators who have been right where you are.

Exactly where is this quiz? I don’t see anything linking to it.
My result is:
Your ideal cup is a Fleurcup, Lena Sensitive or Large Si-Bell!
Based on your answers you should consider using an average cup that is
fairly average in length and firmness. You could also consider brands
such as OrganiCup or Ruby.
It only says Large on the last one, but is this meaning all options I should be getting large? Because I use a size small now and size-wise it seems good, I don’t want to go bigger if I don’t have to.
Can anyone help me out? I have the Lunette Model 2. I am 23 and have not given birth but as I thought my flow was on the heavier side and i have a high cervix I got it. It is a perfect fit in that I cant feel it… and it slips right up so the stem is comfortably in. 2 minor issues: 1. I got my period last night so I put it in before bed. Emptied it this morning. No leaks. PERFECT. Easy removal and insertion. I put it back in. I worked out/some weights thismorning, BRILLIANT, no leaks. But 5 hours later I noticed small amounts of spotting on the toilet paper. Odd as it didnt leak a bit for the 8 or more hours I had it over night. I went to take it out to see if it was full and this is where issue 2 occured: the cup sits at an angle where it is sort of tipped forward, so the stem sits towards the back and to the right, so i can only easily insert a finger to the front, however when I tried breaking the seal i found myself pushing straight onto my cervix through the cup… which was painful, and this removal took alot more work and effort than earlier thismorning to try and bear it down past my cervix to an angle i could comfortably break the seal, is this normal?. Now the cup kind of slipped out eventually and spilled but Im certain it wasnt full causing a leak… so cleaned up and reinserted. 2 hours later i noticed the same spotting and again removed to investigate (easier than the second time by far) This time it didnt spill, and there was barely a thimble-full of fluid, however i could see where the blood had gone up the side of the cup so i think a tad was able to leak. I have been laying on my stomach a bit today so as the cup appears to tilt forward inside me I believe this is what is causing a slight spill. This time I have tried bearing down and gently pulling the cup down and letting it slip back up to get a better position and seal, thoroughly checked it is properly open and sealed (100%) and am hoping for the best. Does anyone have any insight into why this may be happeninh? I have a lunette model 1 on the way also to try both sizes, my thoughts are that maybe the cup is pressing against the pubic bone and causing a dip while i lay on my stomach causing the leak. My Model 1 is arriving today so I want to see of maybe a smaller size will stop this happening… but my concern then is that the model to is the perfect length, and i am quite *tight* down there in the opening, making a bit of work to get a hold of the grip rings on the cup (stem is useless just a peace of mind thing as it doesnt irritate at all) im worried the smaller cup will be too short! Any advice or pointers welcome!
I did not like tampons. I always felt them. It seemed to irritate me. I never forgot that it was there and was even sometimes painful.I have an inverted utetus too.
If this is the case. Will I have trouble with these cups. I have a sensitive bladder too.
One suggestion wss the luna 2 sensitive. Will it make a big difference to the feeling inside?
Thanks.
Hi there, what does the N/A refer to for firmness? I use a Juju and wanted to compare its firmness to others. Thanks
it means they have never tried/held one to know the difference :-/
I’m not sure if there are enough women with this issue to address it on your site, but I had a pelvic floor reconstruction after my bladder AND colon prolapsed. My colon was falling out so there was a lot of reconstruction. My vaginal walls were rebuilt both anterior and posterior. Nonetheless, I’m now >40, had 3 babies, but back to the size of pre-baby. For the survey, I answered the questions a couple of different ways (i.e. saying I have not had a baby) to see what results might yield. I used menstrual cups for about 7 years before the reconstruction without issue (a Sckoon 2 and Diva 2) but now have extreme pain and issues with a Sckoon 1 (the sckoon was my preferred cup before surgery). I also am unable to urinate about 1/2 the time when the cup is in place. I flipped it inside out after cutting the stem off because it was so uncomfortable. The ridges on the cup itself and stem were painful every time I moved. I’ve ordered a Meluna shorty and Meluna small in hopes the smaller diameter might help – even if I have to change it more often. Anyhow, I thought I would bring up those of us who are in this boat of mystery.
Hi Amanda! I think I really need your advice: I am 32 y.o., active person (I do rock climbing), no child, heavy flow. I bought MoonCup B but it was still leaking so I replaced it with Lunette 2 because I thought maybe the size was the problem. I had a leakage with Lunette 2 when it was 1/2 full + I can feel it, I guess the rim is too firm, and I also feel a little bit of pressure on my bladder. I have measured my cervix position during my cycle and it is 3 cm (1.18 inch) and also a little bit tilted. I think that my cervix sits in my cup and that’s the reason why the small Mooncup was still leaking and why my big Lunette leaked while being only 1/2 full. I was considering cups for lower cervix but I am not sure because with both my cups I had really a though time to get them out – they both goes too up:/ … which I guess is strange when my cervix is not high during my cycle.
PS: Based on quiz I was recommended Lunette B.
PS2: English is my second language but I hope it’s possible to understand me:)
Where is said quiz? I have looked all over using both my phone and computer. Not finding a quiz… I have not used or tried a cup yet but am interested. I am more interested in finding something for my daughter who is soon to start but hasn’t yet. I’ll keep researching I guess.
Update: I found the quiz. I needed to use Firefox browser….
Hm… I’ve tried both Firefox and Brave, and still nothing.
I found I had to disable all security settings in order for it to work
I’ve been clicking from page to page to add to chart to page… where the eff is this quiz and why is this page so difficult to navigate
My results were: A Super Jennie Size Small or Large, Lady Cup 2, or Yuuki Size 2
Unfortunately none of these results is appropriate for me because I have a low cervix and they are all too long. I currently have a MeLuna M which is too long even with the stem cut off, and it is the same length as the Super Jennie size Small and shorter than all of the other cups.
Basically, I was recommended 3 cups that would be useless for me 🙁
