Model comparison

The size chart, translated into decisions.

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.

Three menstrual cup shapes arranged as a size comparison.

Published model data

Mini, Normal and Plus in one view.

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 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.

Length has two readings

MonthlyCup lists cup length and total length. Total length includes the stem, so read both figures before comparing models.

Capacity is stated to holes

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

Do not let the chart choose for you.

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.

  1. Compare diameter, cup length and total length first.
  2. Look at capacity in the exact terms used by the manufacturer.
  3. Read the current instructions supplied with the product.
  4. For shopping or product questions, use the current support page.
