Diameter is not a personality quiz
Diameter is one physical measurement. It may be part of your comparison, but it should not be turned into a universal rule about age, childbirth or body type.
A menstrual cup table should slow the choice down in a good way. The numbers below come from MonthlyCup’s published guide: compare them, then read the notes before treating any model as a match.
Published model data
Capacity is stated to the holes. Length is separated into cup length and total length because the stem changes how the full product length is read.
| MonthlyCup model | Diameter | Cup length | Total length | Capacity to holes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 37 mm | 45 mm | 55 mm | 15 ml |
| Normal | 43 mm | 55 mm | 65 mm | 22 ml |
| Plus | 47 mm | 55 mm | 65 mm | 43 ml |
Diameter is one physical measurement. It may be part of your comparison, but it should not be turned into a universal rule about age, childbirth or body type.
MonthlyCup lists cup length and total length. Total length includes the stem, so read both figures before comparing models.
The capacity figures here are given to the holes. Use that wording when comparing the numbers, because capacity claims can vary by how they are measured.
Next step
MonthlyCup’s guidance says to compare measurements alongside individual flow and preferences. It also states that no model is guaranteed to fit everyone. If you are new to cups, the NHS notes that cups and tampons can take practice.
Open the current MonthlyCup guide for model comparison and usage instructions. Prices, availability and product pages may change, so live pages are the right place for current shop information.
The published MonthlyCup guide lists Mini with a 37 mm diameter.
MonthlyCup lists Normal with a capacity of 22 ml up to the holes.
In the published guide data, Plus has the highest listed capacity to the holes at 43 ml.
No. The chart gives product dimensions. MonthlyCup states that no model is guaranteed to fit everyone.
