Do You Need A Low Cervix Menstrual Cup?

Finding the Right Menstrual Cup for a Low Cervix

When it comes to managing your period, comfort and convenience matter most. If you have a low cervix, using the right menstrual cup can make all the difference in how confident and comfortable you feel during your cycle.

In this post, we’ll walk you through how to tell if you have a low cervix and which MeLuna cup options are designed just for you.

How Do I Know If I Have a Low Cervix?

Great question! Figuring out your cervix height - especially during your period - helps you choose the cup that fits your body best.

Here’s how to check:

1. Wash your hands.

2. Insert a clean finger into your vagina while on your period.

3. Feel for your cervix - it may feel like the tip of your nose.

4. Mark where your finger stops at the vaginal opening, then compare it to our printable MeLuna Cervix Measuring Tool.

If your cervix is within the first knuckle of your finger (about 50 mm or less from the opening), you likely have a low cervix—and a shorter cup will be a better fit for you.

Also, if you’ve used a standard cup before and felt discomfort or noticed the base of the cup sitting too low, that could be a sign your cervix sits lower.

Why Cervix Height Can Be Confusing

Here’s something a lot of people don’t realize: your cervix moves during your cycle. It’s usually lowest at the beginning of your period. That’s why measuring during your period gives you the most accurate result.

Some people measure when they’re not menstruating and think they’ll be fine with a regular cup - but then find it too long or uncomfortable when their cycle starts.

The MeLuna Cervix Measuring Tool: A Visual Guide

We know fingers and vaginas come in all shapes and sizes. That’s why we created a printable cervix measuring tool to make the process easier.

Here’s what it does:

• Helps you figure out if you need a Shorty (low cervix) cup or a standard one.

• Lets you compare your measurement to life-sized MeLuna cup images.

• Gives you a clear visual so you’re not just guessing!

👉 Important: Don’t insert the paper tool. Just print it at 100% scale, use your finger to check your cervix height, and then match your measurement on the chart.

This tool doesn’t tell you what size (S, M, L, XL) to get - that’s based on things like age, flow, and birth history. Check out our MeLuna Size Guide to choose the right diameter.

Tip: Many people who go with a Shorty cup opt for a size up to make up for the slightly smaller capacity.
