If you are thinking to buy a period cup the first thing that comes to your mind before choosing a period cup is which cup would be a perfect fit for you. As Liana period cup has so many options it’s hard for a beginner to decide which cup works best for you. 

Different cups are of different sizes and shapes, as are different vaginas. Finding a cup that fits, and feels, just right for you may require some trial and error (you should not be able to feel a cup inside you very much, and it definitely should not hurt). And it can be hard to guess what shape your vagina is, even for doctors. Don’t worry, we got you covered in this guide we’ll try to walk you through picking the right size as best we can and will explain all the factors that you should keep in mind while choosing the cup. 

1- Age

In teenagers, the vagina muscles are tight and have a small opening. Teenagers need a cup that has a medium firmness which will ensure that the cup will open inside by itself. At the same time, the cup size should be small so the insertion and removal are easy.

2- Firmness of the cup

If you have bladder issues, such as a sensitive bladder, have weak pelvic muscles, or feel cramp using a bit firmer cup, you don’t want a really firm cup. A firm cup can put pressure on your bladder and give you the feeling of constantly needing to pee. Cups with extremely prominent rims are also not advised, since the rim tends to press against the bladder quite firmly. A softer cup is recommended since it will not press against the bladder uncomfortably. Liana silky soft period cup is a great soft cup designed for bladder sensitivities. This is specially made of ultra-soft medical-grade silicone and is very silky soft. But be aware that the soft cup may not be opened when inserted inside sometimes so you need to apply techniques to open the cup. Read more details about soft vs firmer cups and which should you choose. Also, check out the techniques to open the cup inside.

If you lead an active lifestyle and have a strong pelvic floor and vaginal muscles, a firmer cup is more suitable. A cup that is too soft may be pressed by your muscles, which breaks the seal and cause leaks. A firmer cup-like Liana beginners period cup can hold its shape while inside your body is the best option to choose. 

3- Measure your cervix

Your cervix height is probably one of the most important factors you should consider when choosing a period cup. Check your cervix near or during your period, where it will be the lowest in the body. Please read more details about what a cervix is and how to measure it. Once you have measured your cervix, you should be able to know whether you have a high cervix or medium or low cervix. 

If you have a low cervix, you need a cup with a shorter body and shorter stem. So the cup doesn’t touch your cervix at the same time the stem doesn’t come out from the vagina. If you use a lengthy cup you will feel pain whenever the cup will touch your cervix. Liana low cervix period cup is the best choice if you have a low cervix. It is shorter in length with a short stem having medium firmness is a perfect fit for those who have a low cervix.

If you have a higher cervix, a longer cup is more suitable for you. If you use a short menstrual cup, it can ride up during the course of the day, and you may find it difficult to remove since it is deeper in your vaginal canal. Both Liana beginners and silky soft period cups are the longer cups available, and are great if you have a high cervix!

Just remember you can always trim the stem of the cup according to your own need if you find it uncomfortable. 

4- First-time user

You should choose a firm cup such as Liana beginner’s period cup if you haven’t used the cup before or if you are not sure which cup to choose from the above-given cups. It has a medium firmness that ensures that the cup will open easily when inserted inside the vagina. We always recommend Liana beginners period cup to all the first-time users.
