  You'd probably find that a low-cervix menstrual cup will work well for you. You can probably touch your cervix very easily, or have found that regular length menstrual cups stick out of you and are uncomfortable to wear. One of our favourite low-cervix cups is the following. Click the link below to see the full review: FemmyCycle It's one of the shortest cups on the market today and most people who try it seem to really like it. We love the spill-proof design, as well the ring which makes removal easier.

  Anigan EvaCup (L)/Super Jennie (L)/Meluna Cup (XL)

  Image Source

  You have a very heavy period and would probably do well with a high-capacity menstrual cup. Average menstrual cups have a capacity of around 30 ml (the Diva Cup for example), while these three cups we recommend have capacities of up to 42 ml. It really does make a difference if you have a very heavy flow! Three of our favourites include the following cups. Clicking the link will take you to our full review: Anigan EvaCup (L) Super Jennie (L) Meluna Cup (XL) Of the three, the Anigan Evacup has the highest user ratings on Amazon, and it's also the one we recommend. It seems to fit most people very well, comes in a nice range of sizes and colours, and it easy to insert and remove.

  Meluna Cup/Oi Cup

  If you're allergic to silicone, you unfortunately don't have many options for which menstrual cup to get. It's not all bad news though! There are a couple of good options for you to choose from. Both the Meluna and the Oi Cup are made from thermoplastic elastomer. Check out the reviews below: Oi Cup Review Meluna Cup Review Of the two, we recommend the Oi Cup because it's much easier to find on Amazon. The Meluna Cup comes in a wide variety of sizes, but it's difficult to find all of them if you don't live in Europe.

  Lily Cup/Yuuki Cup/Cleo Cup 

  Image Source

  It sounds like you have a very high cervix. You will need a long menstrual cup, which will make it easier to remove. In order to remove a cup, you should grasp the base of it and break the suction seal. If you can't do this, you need to pull down gently on the stem until you can grab the case. However, if your cup is too short, it'll be difficult to even get to the stem. An average menstrual cup (the Diva Cup for example) has a length of 70 mm. These cups mentioned below have a length of 73-79 mm. It really does make a difference! Click the link below to see our full review of each of these cups: Yuuki Cup Cleo Cup Lily Cup Of the three, the Lily Cup is one of our favourites, at 78 mm. It has a unique design, which doesn't leak for most people. It's also one of the longest menstrual cups you can buy, both for the small and large version. Many other menstrual cups make their small version shorter than their longer one. Remember to get the smaller version if you haven't given birth vaginally, and the larger size if you have.

  Meluna (Shorty)

  It sounds like you have a low cervix. This means that many of the "regular" length menstrual cups won't work for you because the stem will stick out of you and be uncomfortable. Even if you trim the stem, it may be too long. One of our favourite low cervix cups is the following. Clicking on the link will take you to our review: Meluna Shorty We like this cup because there are a nice range of sizes, from small to extra-large. One of these will certainly work for you. If you've given birth vaginally, or are over the age of 30, get one of the bigger sizes. If you're a teen, very small person, under 30 and haven't given birth vaginally, go for one of the smaller sizes. The Meluna is made from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) so it's a great choice if you're allergic to silicone.

  Super Jennie (L)/Lily Cup (L)

  It sounds like you'll do best with a large diameter cup. Maybe you've tried a smaller cup and found that it moved around inside of you too much. Or, maybe you've given birth vaginally to more than one child. An average menstrual cup has a diameter of around 40 mm (the Diva Cup for example). The Super Jennie (large) comes in at 47 mm. This really can make a big difference! Some of the biggest diameter cups include the following. Clicking the link will take you to our full review: Super Jennie Lily Cup In particular, we love the Super Jennie. Although it's a bit of a newcomer, it's a top-quality cup out of the USA that many people seem to love.

  FemmyCycle (teen)

  You are a very small person (or teenager) who would do best with one of the smallest cups you can buy. An average menstrual cup has a diameter of around 40 mm, and length of 70 mm (the Diva Cup for example), while the FemmyCycle (teen) comes in at 31 mm diameter, 57 mm length. It really is significantly smaller! Check out our full review by clicking the link below: FemmyCycle teen Although it doesn't have a huge capacity, you'll probably find that it's much easier to insert, and remove than some of the bigger menstrual cups.

  The SckoonCup

  Image Source

  You've tried a menstrual cup before but found that it gave you cramps or was quite uncomfortable. This happens because it's either too stiff, or too large. Instead of giving up on menstrual cups, try a softer and/or smaller cup. One of our top picks is the Sckooncup. It's one of the softer cups, but it still has enough firmness that it opens easily when placed inside of you. The small Sckooncup is quite a bit smaller than the small Diva Cup for example. And, the larger one is about the same size as the large Diva Cup. But, we generally recommend trying the smaller one if you've had cramps from a menstrual cup before.
