    While taking the quiz is the best way to get an accurate size recommendation, read on if you'd like to learn more about how we factor sizing.

    Cervix Height

    Everyone's cervix is positioned differently within the vaginal canal. Some menstruators have a low sitting cervix and some a high. Also keep in mind, that for most menstruators their cervix will descend slightly in the vaginal canal during their menstrual cycle.

    With clean hands, gently insert your longest finger until you feel your cervix (donut shaped and feels like pursed lips) along the vaginal wall. It may be soft or firm depending on where you’re at in your cycle. The following describes the variation in measurement:

    Low Cervix: You can feel your cervix with your finger inserted less than half way.

    Medium Cervix: You can feel your cervix with your finger inserted to the middle knuckle.

    High Cervix: You can feel your cervix with your finger inserted beyond the middle knuckle or cannot reach your cervix at all.

    When VOXAPOD is inserted correctly, it should not cause discomfort. If the cup is inserted too deep into the vaginal canal and positioned in contact with the cervix, it can cause discomfort. For optimal comfort, your VOXAPOD should be positioned beneath the cervix.

    Low Cervix Note:

    VOXAPOD is one of the shortest and smallest menstrual cups on the market, making it an ideal menstrual cup for low cervix. The cup itself is designed to sit low away from the cervix at the base of the vaginal canal. The stem may be trimmed to a desired length for your comfort.

    Period Flow

    VOXAPOD® Menstrual Cup Small is designed to accommodate a Light to Medium Flow, while VOXAPOD® Menstrual Cup Medium has a high capacity designed to accommodate a Medium to Heavy Flow. Some menstruators prefer having both sizes to use at different points in their cycle.

    General Physique

    Everyone's body is unique and shaped slightly different. How VOXAPOD fits inside of you will vary from others. Your unique shape, pelvic muscle strength, and vaginal condition can determine which cup works better for you. If your pelvic floor muscles are strong, you may prefer VOXAPOD Small while those who experience light bladder leaks or have pelvic floor muscles that are not as strong will likely prefer VOXAPOD Medium.

    Pregnancy and birth can impact your pelvic floor strength. If you have carried a pregnancy to full-term, you could use either size depending on your pelvic floor strength afterward. If you are a first-time cup user and have never carried a full-term pregnancy, we recommend the small size.

    Still in doubt?

    If you’re still asking, “what menstrual cup is best for me?”, from our experience, a combination of VOXAPOD Menstrual Cup Small and Medium can be optimal. Using VOXAPOD Small during your light days and when your cervix drops in your cycle, and using VOXAPOD Medium as a large capacity menstrual cup during your heavy days. Dual packs are offered at a discounted price.

    Remember that both cups can work for you. If you have a heavy flow and use a VOXAPOD Small, you would only need to empty it more frequently, and if you have a light flow and use a VOXAPOD Medium it will not be full when emptied.
