Switching From Another Menstrual Cup?
Compare the size and shape of popular menstrual cups with MeLuna Standard
and MeLuna Shorty cups. These real side-by-side photos can help you see
whether you may need a different diameter, a shorter cup, or a firmer cup.
A cup can be well made and still be the wrong fit for your body.
MeLuna offers more ways to adjust diameter, height, firmness, and handle
style than brands that offer only one or two basic cup shapes.
Four diameters
Choose from Small, Medium, Large, and XL instead of trying to make one of only two sizes work.
Options for low, average, and high cervix
Choose Shorty for a low cervix or Standard for an average cervix.
For a high cervix, pair a Ring Handle with a Nupsi extension for added reach.
Two firmness options
Classic works for many users. Sport is firmer and resists compression from strong pelvic floor muscles.
Three handle styles
Choose a Ball, Ring, or Stem based on how much grip and added reach you prefer.
Start with diameter, then consider cervix height
Diameter often matters most for preventing leaks. Cup height affects comfort and accessibility.
A cup that is too long may create pressure, sit too low, or feel uncomfortable. A cup with too
small a diameter may leak or slide down. A cup that sits high may be easier to reach with a
Ring Handle and Nupsi extension.

Super Comfy!! Can't feel it at all
“I've been using this new cup for a week so far and it's super comfy.
I've tried the regular Diva cup and that's way too long when I'm on my
period. My previous go-to was a regular Fleurcup, but even that could
be too long some days, and the silicone started harboring bacteria
after about 8 years. This one is the perfect size for me! It's taken a
little getting used to with the stiffer rim, but I get it now. The
useable volume seems lower than the other two cups for me, so I need to
empty it a bit sooner. I don't have a heavy flow.”
“I have had a Diva Cup for years and when the plastic started to degrade,
I thought I'd try something new. The Diva Cup was great but I hoped something
slightly smaller would be more comfortable. So far, this cup is perfect.
Due to the shorter length and how the plastic changes shape in heat, I have
had less problems with pressure on my bladder, etc. and I am loving it!”

Better results
“I switched from diva cup to MeLuna sport as I kept having leaks.
After researching I found out the leaks could have been due to having a
too flexible cup. This one is indeed less flexible which has reduced
any leaks especially during exercise.”

★★★★★
Meluna regular menstrual cup
“This cup was my second try at a menstrual cup. My first was a saalt
soft. I feel like I got the hang of this one faster. I switched because
I thought I was sensitive or allergic to the other cup. It got very
itchy after wearing for a couple of hours. This one didn't. Yay! It's
pretty comfortable and worth the learning curve.”
Some people who experience discomfort with a silicone menstrual cup prefer trying
a cup made from a different material. MeLuna cups are made from medical-grade
thermoplastic elastomer, commonly called TPE.
Individual experiences vary. Itching, pain, or irritation can have several causes.
Stop using any product that causes discomfort and speak with a qualified healthcare
professional when symptoms continue.

Which MeLuna Cup Should You Consider?
Your current cup gives you useful information. The problem you are
experiencing can help identify which feature to change.
Your current cup feels too long
Consider MeLuna Shorty for a low cervix.
Compare cup body length, not only total length with the handle.
A shorter cup may reduce poking or pressure.
Your cup is difficult to reach
A Standard cup may suit an average or high cervix.
A Ring Handle provides a secure grip.
A Nupsi extension can add reach for a high cervix.
Your current cup leaks
Confirm that the cup is fully open.
Consider whether you need a larger diameter.
Strong pelvic floor muscles may compress a cup that is too flexible.
Your cup leaks during exercise
Consider MeLuna Sport.
Its firmer material resists compression during high-impact movement.
Sport can be harder to fold and remove than Classic.
You experienced irritation with silicone
MeLuna is made from medical-grade TPE.
TPE is a different material from silicone and latex.
Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation or pain continues.
Your current cup creates bladder pressure
Consider whether the cup is too long or too wide.
A Shorty cup may help when cervix height is low.
A different diameter may improve comfort.
What to Expect When Switching Menstrual Cup Brands
MeLuna is made from medical-grade TPE rather than silicone. The material may
feel and behave differently from the cup you currently use. A short adjustment
period is normal when changing cup shapes, firmness, or materials.
1
You May Not Feel a Strong Pop
Some silicone cups create a noticeable popping sensation when they open.
A MeLuna cup may unfold without producing the same sensation.
Gently feel around the base to check that the cup has unfolded and is
positioned comfortably.
A cup does not need to make a sound or create a strong pop to work correctly.
2
The Cup May Conform to Your Body
TPE responds to body heat and may become more flexible during wear.
Your cup may take on a slightly oval or asymmetrical shape after removal.
This temporary shape change is expected. The cup will gradually return
toward its original shape after removal and cooling.
3
Your Usual Fold May Feel Different
A fold that worked with your previous cup may behave differently with MeLuna.
You may need to adjust the fold, insertion angle, or the point where you
allow the cup to open.
Give yourself a few practice attempts before deciding whether the cup is the wrong fit.
4
Persistent Leaks Need Troubleshooting
Early leaks may result from placement, incomplete unfolding, cervix position,
or cup size. Continued leaks may indicate that you need a different diameter,
height, or firmness.
Your previous cup size may not translate directly to the same MeLuna size. Compare diameter first, then height and firmness.
