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.

I have a very low cervix that I don’t think even hits my first knuckle. Is it possible to even wear a menstrual cup with this low of a cervix? I tried the Blossom cup and I found it extremely painful to insert.
I ordered the Blossom cup and when I tried to put it in, I experienced a lot of pain. I found out that I have a very low cervix that I don’t even think hits my first knuckle. Will I even be able to wear a menstrual cup with this low of a cervix?
I took the quiz out of curiosity to see what other options might suit me. It suggested the Lily cup but isn’t that one quite soft? I have quite a strong pelvic floor, hence why I’ve had great success with my Mooncup, which is quite firm. I answered that I was very active on that particular question.
This produces a brighter picture that allows for easy viewing in a very well lit room.
More complex projectors possess a lower leakage and so the contrast ratio
is higher. Firstly, you have to connect the pc with the Home Theater LCD
HDMI Projector by the USB cable.
I’ve been trying to use my diva cup two for the last several cycles but no matter what I do it always slides down and starts to protrude. I flipped the cup inside out so the stem wasn’t irritating my opening but it still slides down. I have tried folding in different ways, twisting it while it’s inside of me and inserting it laying down. No matter how I do it it always slides down and sticks out. I’m not sure what else to try. Do you have any tips for me?
Hello, I tried a small MeLuna cup and it leaks even after it’s fully open. I’m 19 years old, I’ve never given birth, and my flow goes from heavy to regular. I’m not sure where my cervix is, but I think it’s high. Does anyone have any suggestions? I prefer the cup to tampons, but I need to be leak-proof.
I took your quiz as I recently bought and am currently using an organicup but am having issues with it and my bladder as is not just making me feel the urge to pee it’s actually stimulating my bladder. I can’t lower or heighten it as it won’t move lol. Your video suggests buyer one without a rim and softer but your quiz suggested the same type and even make as the one I currently have thathe is causing me problems. I’ve been woken dozens of times over night because I need to pee every 20 mins. I really want this to work out. Do you have any suggestions
I was excited to see revamped quiz- I’m
Not seeing any differences,… disappointed Luv your body is *still* not included for heavy flows (it’s the biggest). Why??? It’s also reasonably priced!
Also disappointing that ppl with a long or “dangley” cervix are still not included.
(My cervix fills most cups, and I have a heavy flow… all cups work, I just have to change them, a lot)
Maybe we will be included in mark 3
Really good, my cup is a small diva cup!
I don’t see the quiz?
