Cup Size Comparison Charts
Charts showing the sizing and other details of the cup brands. I’m missing some of the data though, so if anyone can help me fill it in, please comment with the info – thanks. I’m also only including info on the cups that are officially available for sale. So Green Donna, Alicia and MPower are not included in these charts.
The best way to view this is to download the spreadsheet file:
You will need something like Microsoft Excel to view it, but I’ve also taken screen shots of the spreadsheet pages below for those who just want to look at an image file.
I’ve also arranged the lists by different attributes. Where I didn’t have enough data to properly rank a brand, I’ve put them at the bottom of the list.
(Squishyness done on the cups I have)
This is hard to rate really, but I will give it a shot. This is just my opinion, it’s quite hard to judge, and the cup sizes actually make a difference in squishiness. Some cups are stiffer at the rim, than they are in the body. 1 being most squishy, 10 being least squishy. Basically it is rated on how much effort it takes to push the material in.

Please note that Yuuki is apparently stiffer than when first brought out (I have the old style)

A menstrual cup is form of reusable menstrual protection. It is inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluids. Once in place it forms a seal, preventing blood flowing out of the vagina by collecting it in its “cup” shaped reservoir. Unlike a tampon which absorbs the blood along with the vagina’s natural secretions, a menstrual cup simply holds the fluids until you remove it – so they do not dry out the vagina and do not hold the TSS risk that tampons do.
They hold around 20-30ml, which is for most women will cope with a full day without emptying, and at most perhaps you would need to empty it a few times a day for a very heavy flow. A menstrual cup will last (with proper care) for around 10 years, perhaps longer, so while the initial outlay is high, it pays for itself with savings pretty quick.
This website aims to give information on all the available reusable cups, and provide the latest news. This is a sister site to www.ecomenses.com
Awesome job!!
Thank you so much for collecting all the data.
Thank you. I am looking for something for my daughter and wanted a “squish-ier” one than I have (the Keeper) for her starting out. Thanks for your work, it will make it so much easier to make a choice. We are now going to the second generation of users!
Also a great resource for my naturally minded friends to make their choice.
Data for Green Donna:
S: CA-22mls,CtR-25mls,TL-72mm,WS-47mm,RD-41mm,ST-tab,ML-yes,C-silicone
L: CA-26mls,CtR-30mls,TL-72mm,WS-52mm,RD-46mm,ST-tab,ML-yes,C-silicone
Yes! I needed this information! I had surgery down there last year and now my DivaCup is just too big, so I’m thrilled to see what smaller ones I can try. I was so sad having to give it up!
I had no idea there were so many different cups! I knew there were a few. I just received my DivaCup. I hope I like it!
Hi, Im learning about menstrual cups i have been wanting one for a while but never sure which one to get i have 3 in mind but they all have there ups and downs, i am 19 years old, im a virgin, my cervix is about 2 1/4 inches in or 5.5 cm, i can fit 2 fingers in and its comfortable but its a little tight around the entrance of my vagina, so i am having a problem choosing which cup, i like the large lady cup, i think that the small will be to small and will leak, so i am wondering if the large would be firmer and not be to squishy and leak, the small lunette and small diva seem good also but i am wondering about them being to firm and not comfortable, and the diva being to long, and i am wanting to buy on ebay or amazon for a cheap price and they only have a limited variety of cups but they have these 3, the lunette is a bit pricey, i am afraid that the diva will be to firm so i am leaning toward the lady cup, it would help me out so much if i had some suggestions from peoples experience with cups
For Brandi,
Did you decide what to buy? I dont think you should worry too much about the cup being too small. With your age and being a virgin, I think you dont produce a lot of fluids (but you know that better than I). But you will be amazed how little you produce, at least I was. I bought the Lady Cup Small to start off with but now I want to try something smaller, because I dont need the volume. I never had issues with the small size leaking. About the firmness I havent had any issues with that either. Once it is up there, you dont feel much other than sometimes the stem, if you have not cut it short enough.
One thing is for sure. You WILL LOVE IT. It works amazing during sports, especially swimming and diving where tampons can be a problem. So enjoy it.
Love

About Iriscup. The warranty is about 2 years.
On your squishyness scale, what is the squishyest, 1 or 10?
1 is most squishy, 10 least squishy. Basically it is rated on how much effort it takes to push the material in.
Just a check on your meluna sizes. The chart is out on the sizes. eg. the size small is 38mm in diameter. Meluna has a FANTASTIC page devoted to the size and pliability of their cups and teaches you how to select the right size and pliability (called “shore”) based on your stature, fitness and childbirth status. They claim that age has little to do with the size cup you need. Check it out. It’s awesome.
I selected the correct one for me: small, classic with stem or ball through trial and error. I wish they had the webpage earlier!!!
Brilliant! Love this, all the information!
Thank you
Why do you have two separate and different entries for Mooncup (UK) in the squishiness chart, but none for the Mooncup (US). Is it an error?
Because I don’t own a US Mooncup – they refused to send me one to sample. So I can’t rate the squishyness as I don’t own one.
