Firmness

MeLuna Sport vs Classic

Both are excellent. Choose based on activity level, pelvic floor strength, and your experience with cups.

Choose MeLuna Sport if

You want a firmer cup that resists compression during intense movement.

  • You do high-impact or core-engaged workouts
  • You have strong pelvic floor muscles
  • You need a seal that stays stable under pressure
  • You already have cup experience and feel confident with removal

Choose MeLuna Classic if

You prefer a balanced firmness for everyday comfort and easy handling.

  • You are newer to cups or value easier removal
  • Your activities are light to moderate
  • You want a gentler feel with reliable sealing
  • You plan to have one cup for most days

MeLuna Classic – Our Softest Cup

The Classic is medium soft and the best choice for most users. MeLuna USA Classic is very flexible but firm enough so that your menstrual cup can easily unfold after insertion. It’s a customer favorite, and most find it very comfortable.

This firmness level of the Classic combines the requirements for a good fit and ease of use. It’s soft, easy to fold, and yet has enough “spring” to open fully and seal securely.

Who Is a Great Candidate for the Classic?

MeLuna USA Classic is the firmness level that works best for most users. The softer Classic is easier to fold for insertion and removal. If you are new to menstrual cups, the Classic is likely your best choice.

Fit tip: Start with the Classic firmness if you’re new to cups or prefer a soft, flexible feel. For users with strong pelvic muscles or active lifestyles, consider the firmer MeLuna Sport.

MeLuna Sport – Our Firmest Cup

The MeLuna Sport is our firmest menstrual cup. We recommend it for users involved in physical activities that require a lot of core muscle engagement. It can be a little too firm for users sensitive to pressure. A big plus of the Sport is how easily it unfolds.

The material of the Sport is 25% firmer than MeLuna Classic. This menstrual cup has a high degree of resilience, and you can feel the force with which it springs back right away when squeezed together. This “springiness” ensures that the Sport cups can unfold perfectly even with strong pressure from the surrounding muscles and keep a tight seal during intense activities where a softer cup may collapse and leak.

Who Is a Great Candidate for the Sport?

MeLuna Sport is designed for users involved in very active pursuits or those who have experienced leaking with softer menstrual cups. The Sport firmness addresses leaks caused by the cup becoming compressed. However, firmness cannot compensate for an inadequate diameter.

Because of its firmness, it makes a great second cup for the active user. Some activities have a strong effect on the pelvic floor muscles — for example: yoga, horseback riding, Pilates, martial arts, or pole dancing.

The Sport cup is often a great choice as a second cup. Wear your comfortable Classic for most of your cycle and keep a Sport cup ready for gym!

Height of Your Menstrual Cup

Standard or “Shorty”?

The majority of cup wearers will be happiest with a standard height MeLuna cup. However, some menstrual cup users require a shorter cup.

MeLuna Shorty is designed for users with a low cervix or short vaginal canal. For that reason, we also carry the MeLuna Shorty. It differs from the standard model by its shorter cup length.

The Shorty is available in the US in two firmness levels, four sizes, and three different handle styles. It is the best menstrual cup for users whose vagina is shortened (for example, by uterine prolapse). This has nothing to do with body height — it strictly depends on cervix height. Very tall people can have a low cervix, and very short people can have a high cervix.

The shape is slightly different from the standard MeLuna. It is shorter and tapers to a point. Due to its short, conical shape, it pops open more easily and seals a little more firmly. Removal may require a little more practice at first.

We recommend the MeLuna Shorty for users whose vagina is shorter than average or whose cervix is located close to the vaginal entrance. An example would be users who have a prolapsed uterus (uterine descent).

Please note: For all users with an average cervix position and average vaginal canal length, the MeLuna Standard Menstrual Cup will be the better option.

Menstrual Cup Size

Determining your correct menstrual cup size is crucial to creating a dependable seal. We’ve made it simple with clear guidelines to help you pick a diameter that’s both reliable and comfortable to wear.

Best of all: rather than the usual two or three diameters, MeLuna offers four!


This allows you to fine-tune the cup to fit your body perfectly rather than compromise.

Handle Style

Stem, Ball, or Ring?

With MeLuna you have three handle choices:

Ring Handle

The ring is easy to grasp, allowing the MeLuna to be removed without a challenge. Beginners often prefer the ring. The ring adds approximately 13 mm to the menstrual cup height.

Ball Handle

The ball is our most frequently requested handle type. It’s small, comfortably rounded, and favored by many users. The ball adds approximately 10 mm to the menstrual cup height.

Stem Handle

The stem is recommended for users whose cervix sits further back or higher. Even beginners who worry that the cup might be difficult to grasp for removal may feel more confident with the longer stem handle. The stem adds approximately 16 mm to the menstrual cup height. It can be shortened to the first knob for a smaller handle or completely removed.

If the handle feels bothersome, all handles can be removed by the user. The stem handle can also be trimmed halfway. Check out our YouTube channel for a quick tutorial on how to remove your handle.
