What Is a Menstrual Cup for a Low Cervix and Why Does It Matter?
If you’ve ever felt discomfort, pressure, or slippage while using a regular menstrual cup, you might have a low cervix and you’re not alone.
Signs You May Have a Low Cervix
- You can feel your cup when you sit down
- Your cup feels like it’s slipping out
- Your cup doesn’t fit comfortably in the available space
You may have worn standard-height cups comfortably in the past, but after pregnancy or hormonal changes, your anatomy can shift. Suddenly, your usual cup may no longer feel right. These changes are completely normal and nothing to worry about.
The MeLuna Shorty difference: Shorter and designed for your anatomy, MeLuna Shorty cups are ideal for users with a low cervix, short vaginal canal, or mild to moderate prolapse. They provide a secure, comfortable fit and reliable protection throughout your cycle.

Example: Diva Cup 2 user → Try MeLuna Shorty XL. If Diva 2 also felt too wide → Try Shorty Large.

FAQs About Shorty Cups
The MeLuna Shorty is specially designed for people with a low cervix or short vaginal canal. Its compact length ensures a secure and comfortable fit without causing pressure or protrusion.
Many Shorty customers have found that standard-height cups weren’t the right fit (anymore).
This is a common and perfectly normal change, especially after childbirth, when the cervix may rest lower than before. As your body adapts through pregnancy and beyond, a cup that once felt comfortable can suddenly feel too long. That’s why a low cervix cup can bring back comfort and confidence in your cycle.
Here are a few symptoms that might indicate you have a low cervix:
- You can feel your cup when you sit down
- Your cup feels like it's slipping out
- Your cup does not fit comfortably into the available space

Yes! The MeLuna Shorty is one of the few menstrual cups designed with mild to moderate prolapse in mind. Its shorter length and flexible material make it gentle and less intrusive.
The Classic is softer and best for most users or those with relaxed pelvic muscles. It is plenty firm for opening easily in most conditions.
The Sport is firmer, making it even easier to pop open, and is ideal for active individuals or stronger pelvic floors.
Because it is firmer it can be uncomfortable for sensitive individuals.
Ball: Compact, adds ~10mm to total length.
Ring: Easy to grasp, adds ~13mm.
Stem: Longest and most flexible, adds ~16mm
No. The cup's dimensions determine volume (capacity), so a cup that is reduced in height will have a smaller capacity than a taller or larger cup.
If capacity is a consideration, it may be a good idea to opt for a larger size when choosing a Shorty cup (e.g., Shorty XL versus Shorty Large).
If you can wear a standard-height cup, you should do so. Shorty cups are designed for individuals who struggle to fit a standard-height cup comfortably.
