What is a Menstrual Cup for a Low Cervix, and How is It Different from Regular Menstrual Cups?
Did you know that there are menstrual cups explicitly designed for people with a low cervix? These cups are a game-changer for those who have struggled with discomfort or difficulty using standard cups.
So, what makes these cups so unique?
- reduced height
- different shape
For starters, they are shorter in height to fit snugly and comfortably without reaching the cervix. They also have a bell-shaped body that naturally suits the shape of a lower vaginal canal. Plus, handle options like the Meluna ball handle are reduced in length or entirely removable to prevent discomfort due to the lowered position of the cervix.
But don't let the smaller size fool you – these cups still maintain ample menstrual flow collection despite the minimized size. Menstrual cups for low cervix are the perfect solution for those looking for a comfortable, reliable, and innovative option for menstrual care.
MeLuna Shorty - The #1 Low Cervix Cup
With the Shorties, MeLuna has created the perfect menstrual cup for low cervix/ short vaginal canal.
The MeLuna Shorty cups are 30% shorter than the standard length MeLuna menstrual cups and up to 45% shorter than some competitor brands.
By giving you a size range of 4 diameters to choose from, you too can find a shorty that fits you comfortable while providing a secure, leak-free seal.
That's right, MeLuna Shorty are available in all 4 diameters: 38mm, 41mm, 44 mm and 47mm.
Our handle styles are flexible and comfortable to wear. There are three to choose from.
The ball is the most popular combination with the Shorty cup since it results in the lowest profile. If you are concerned about being able to grasp the cup for removal we also offer the ring and stem handles in the MeLuna Shorties.
Our handles are very flexible and you can remove them entirely, if you wish.
Shorties are 30% shorter than standard cups
Here's how they compare
These MeLuna menstrual cups have the same size/diameter but the one on the left is a shorty, designed for low cervix. The cup on the right is our standard height MeLuna.

Finding Your Perfect Size in Low Cervix Menstrual Cups
Wondering What Size Shorty To Get?
Most MeLuna Shorty wearers come to us because they have been unsuccessful with other brands. For that reason we created this visual to help you determine what size Shorty to get. If you were happy with your diameter in your previous cup but it was simply too long, we recommend going with the size up in Shorty. For example if you wore a size 2 Diva (the post baby one) and the diameter was comfortable, order a MeLuna menstrual cup in Shorty XL. If the diameter was slightly uncomfortable as well in the Diva 2, then the Shorty Large would be a good option.
Diameter Choices
Diameters are the same in Standard and Shorty Cups. The difference is only in the height.
