Diva Cup Not Working Out For You?

Mar 18, 2021

Many new MeLuna customers come to us because they were unsuccessful with their initial choice of cup: the Diva Cup.

The Diva cup is unusual in that it is a very tall cup even in the smaller diameters.

Let’s have a look at our selection of standard height MeLuna Cups next to the Diva Cup

Brand Comparison: Diva Cup vs Me Luna

from small to Xl: Diva Cups and MeLuna Cups side to side

As you can see even the Diva menstrual cup meant for new users / teens is unusually tall. It’s no surprise that many Diva users complain about being able to feel the Diva cup’s handle.

Let’s compare the actual measurements

Shorty Small 33 mm 38 mm 15 ml 9 ml

Menstrual Cups when Standard Cups are way too long : Low Cervix Menstrual Cups

While many users for whom the Diva is too long can simply switch to a standard MeLuna to enjoy more well proportioned dimension for users needing the larger diameters AND a shorter cup, a MeLuna Shorty may be in order.

The MeLuna Shorty is made specifically for users with below average cervix height.

Let’s have a look next to the Diva cups!

As you can see the MeLuna Shorty are significantly shorter in height while still offering the same diameter to ensure a good seal
