Yep, same here. Been wearing menstrual cups for around 15 years and I never knew. It took me 10 years just to figure out why my cup always leaked-I was placing it too high to seal properly and stay put. Wish I'd had these videos back then!
I have a low cervix and the one time I tried to put a period cup in, I accidentally suctioned it to my cervix (because the instructions made it seem like I needed to place it higher than what is best for me... I passed out from the pain and couldn't get it out for a few hours 😂😭 ✨️traumatised ✨️
@@froggy5748 you can find it w/ your finger if it isn’t super high. all you have to do is feel around until you feel something sort of round with a divot in the middle. it’s also kinda smooth and feels different from the rest of it! hope this helps

I wouldn't call it negligent. The idea that this is a common hazard of menstrual cups is a myth. It's borderline impossible with a well-fitting cup and extremely rare with an improperly fitting one. There's a reason why most companies carry multiple sizes. On the rare occasion a cup does become suctioned to the cervix, extreme pain or damage is caused by users (or even well-intentioned, but ignorant medical professionals) ignoring instructions and ripping it straight out without releasing the pressure first.
@@jfm14 same could be said about toxic shock syndrome, but health hazards are still health hazards. It’s not just about being potentially hospitalized, plenty people have mentioned it’s extremely painful which can cause the user mental distress even if they do remove it without risking their health. At best, you have someone now having their menstrual pain and stress doubled by a horrible experience, and at worst an entire already exhausting week completely deprived of joy because now they have been hospitalized, are likely in severe pain, and will have to worry about medical bills if it’s in relation to American health care. A product should be obligated to tell you how to avoid accidents like that, and that it can happen in the first place. Doesn’t matter if it’s unlikely to cause hospitalization, kids toys would quickly get recalled if it could hurt a child, so I don’t see why precautions like that would be absurd especially when this isn’t a toy its a health tool.
@@felixthecat9787 personally after seeing videos of women and hearing women that have died from toxic shock I think it’s insane that they don’t ban tampons! Thing about how many other personal items that get banned for less!
I have a high cervix EXCEPT during my period. Then it drops significantly-like, to the point I have to cut the stems off most cups. So check your cervix when you’re menstruating 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Honestly, I think everyone should pick one month to check their cervix height as much as 4-5 times throughout. Sure it dictates what you use for menstruation, but it also affects intimate activities, both solo and with partner, so having an idea of where you're at at any given time is just a good idea in general.
I have high cervix and a tilted uterus that tips back towards my back. So it's a REACH to get to my cervix, and I also have large hands (which don't help). I had a cup get stuck once and it took me 3 hours of trying to get it out! I legit almost called my gyno for an appt. so she could remove it. I learned quick which cups are a no for me.
I had a friend whos partner had to help her reach a new cup she was trying out. They had longer fingers and blood didnt bother them 🤷♀️ so it saved them a trip to the Dr lol
@@ThePinkHammerLA 😩 I'm sorry you're going thru that. Girl I had to push like I was giving birth and got to know vajayjay real well 🙄. I've tried the disc and that was too messy so I went back to using tampons my dumbass just don't flush them anymore since they're made of plastic and not tissue like I've thought for years 🤦🏾♀️.
@@msfiya251 I finally got it out 4 hours later😩Never again! The whole cup was tucked behind my pubic bone. I tried the disc too the blood kept going around it. Super messy! As you’re back to tampons I’m almost considering going back to my pads
How exactly do i birth my cup? I purchased an average cup without knowing that i have a high cervix. I was going to try it on my next period but I'm really worried about not being able to get it out :(
@@okokok2007 you just push really hard (like you're taking a dump) and you should feel it start to move, it's pretty exhausting though and I would recommend getting a longer one.
@@Dojan5 Possibly. It depends on how low or high your cervix is during mensuration. You can check yourself everyday, using your finger, to see how your cervix sits for you. There are some UA-cam tutorials on this. There are many different cups to choose from. Longer cups with long stems for a high cervix or in my case, I need to use one like the FemmyCycle Low Cervix “short” cup, since my cervix drops low. But, I have found that I do even better with a disc instead of a cup, after the first two days of my cycle. The Hello Disc seems to be a perfect fit for me, all around. And it is auto dumping, which is another great feature!
That makes so much sense! It doesn’t make its way up all the time but sometimes I have to use my middle finger and thumb’s nails and pinching them together to get the cup out
Ya know the adventure I have when removing my cup makes sense now. And why I could never feel my IUD wires when I was told it would be pretty easy to do so. Just solved a lot of questions for me know less than 30 seconds.
Oh man that makes so much sense. I got the smaller ones because they felt more comfortable but now I get why I feel like I'm really digging to get them out.
Well this explains a few things, every so often my cup winds up so high I can bearly touch it and have to bear down to get it low enough to grab. Not often enough to be a real issue tho
I don't get why menstrual cups don't all state what height cervix they are sensible for. I didn't know this was a thing, I spent 20 minutes in my bathroom floor, before work, contemplating if I needed to get my partner to try and grab if for me 😂😂 now I have a Lily cup, and it's completely different!
hello, i just started using a menstrual cup and my cervix is super high so i also have lilycup. but the thing is no matter how much i pinch from the base of the cup i just can’t break the suction. i always need to use my fingers and reach (at least) to the middle (or the rim) of the cup in order to break the seal. i do it every time without a problem but idk if i’m doing something wrong or if it’s a problem long time since i use my fingers more than other regular cup users, you know. are you able to break the seal just by pinching from the base? if yes do you have any suggestions?
mine fluctuates?? like i can put my cup in and its super low, but it goes higher up after a couple hours sometimes and it can be difficult to take out 😅😅
I have probably learned more about female anatomy on UA-cam shorts than I ever wanted to know your videos are good it's just I feel down one hell of a rabbit hole 😅
I am extremely grateful you make these videos! But on the other hand a lot of what you talk about makes my cervix achy. You explain things so we’ll. Thank you.
I also really recommend a full squat, ankles touching your butt, and then reach up to get it. Everything gets squished down and your hips are more open
Thank you for talking about high cervixes. I was doing a ton of research almost a decade ago when switching off disposable period products and got frustrated that so much attention was being paid to low cervix options, which I knew I didn't have. And I got even more frustrated when I realized that I had a high cervix, started searching specifically for options for that, and found next to nothing. I think there is or was a overall feeling in the community that high cervixes are not a problem, I suppose because we have "plenty of room", unlike low cervixes. And no one wants to admit they lost their cup in their body or their fingers were too short to properly grasp the cup, especially when most of their community is telling them that their issues were not pressing issues. I'm so glad that there are more people talking about it and more options for more bodies.
I love my lily cup, the diva never worked and then I found out we are all different internally which makes total sense! Thank you for this video my lily is super soft and comfy for me I just wish it wasn't a light pink now I see there is a black cup for a high cervix, I hope more companies make more high cervix cups
I have a RIDICULOUSLY high cervix and most cups are super uncomfortable because of the suction, especially since developing adenomyosis. I decided to look up the Lumma disc and it's not ridiculously expensive! As soon as I can afford it, I'm buying it! Thank you!
Thank you! At my latest cervical smear I finally found out why they had so much trouble in the past making me so uncomfortable, this time the woman was great wasn’t uncomfortable at all and she confirmed that my cervix just sits high, glad I saw this before buying my first cup
so greatful for this channel. most people cant afford to experiment with multiple cups until they find the right one for them. you videos can be so helpfull in choosing the right one. there should be a law against profiting off of menstrual products; they should be sold at cost. its time to end the tax on menstruating!!!!!
If you struggle with cups, try Flex disks. They serve the same purpose while being easier to insert and remove (and have a smaller chance of getting suctioned)
Love these vids! As much info as I know about my anatomy and period cups, there's always more to learn, or info to be reminded of. Way off topic but wanted to let you know I love the lip ring! It makes me want to change my stud back to a ring :) it looks great on you!
i have a low cervix, so i had to go to the internet to find a cup that fit me as well 🤭 regular store sold menstrual cups are WAY too high and painful, even in their smaller size (for some reason they only tend to change in diameter not in any way significantly in lenght 💀) Finding a cup that fits you is definitely a must for a positive menstrual cup experience! i love my cup, is the only method im comfortable using c:
Or get an IUD and if it works out right no more periods! After the first few months I only ever got spotting every 3-4 months or so! Best decision ever! No more unbearable cramps.
I'm telling you right now, I swear I have a curve or something because cups just DONT work for me. They pinch when I sit down and try to escape when I stand up. I do know that I have a very tilted uterus, meaning my babies are in a recliner position inside of me. Maybe that's why I can't use a cup?
For all Germans: the Papperlacup (in yellow) by Einhorn is a bit longer than the Lily cup, but has a flexible stem and classic cup form! It works like a charm and is super affordable (around 15€)
I have high cervix. I use a Merula XL cup now, so I don't have this problem anymore, but before that I had a quite short cup for my cervix. In order to take it out, I used my index finger to squish the cup base against my vaginal wall and drag it down with my middle finger (I had a ring stem on it, so I could put my finger through the ring and drag down). But it took me a while to understand how to take it out more easily.
I'm a dis user now but I did have a longer cup before but sometimes he still goes on a adventure up their so I usually bare down and am able to grab the edge then!
I just place my cup just after entering the canal. Period is going to fall anyway. And as juicy as I am, I need the canal as an extra storage space. Not to mention that my muscules often suck up the cup, so I often need to push it down. Thank you Kegel
I have a high cervix and flex is my go too I recently had to get the smaller cup because the regular size was too wide and uncomfortable but the little loop on the end makes it so easy to remove!!! Uhgggg!
I have kind of the opposite problem, my cervix I really low, like sometimes a little more than an inch away from my entrance. so cups are uncomfortable, and I only recently discovered there WERE things like discs 😅 they are a lot more comfortable for me
I have the lumma and i love it because it is a non suction method! However it still needs a longer string for me to be able to get it out, just a little!
I think I've finally figured it out. I have a low cervix at the beginning of my cycle, so much it's hard to wear "standard" cups. But by the end of my cycle, I have hard time getting the cup out it's gone so high - I think my cervix moves during my cycle from low to high as estrogen increases.
Idk why im so invested in learning and watching these things, lol. Im a Trans guy and recently my cycle stopped, so i have no use in this info (also always used pads) and im Gay so i wont have a partner that needs this either, lol. Guess it goes to show how good your content and easy to understand it is. Good job :3
Periods cups also DO NOT WORK for women with low cervixes. If your cervix is too low the cup will not fit over the cervix without being knocked out of the vaginal canal.
my cervix can end up pretty high, but i also have eds so i have the option of either folding my hand in half to reach or stretching to reach 2 fingers up enough 🤣
My cervix likes to migrate a lot so I would cut the stem off for when it sat low. And if it was ever too high for me to reach you can make it come down by bearing down your muscles. 🤷🏽♀️
Can you make an example of what will happen when you have a tilted cervix? Mine is coming very close to the side so the cup never works, it always drips down the side and the disc doesn’t fit under the cervix so it’s just free fall flow. I sometimes have that problem with tampons and I recently been having contact dermatitis from pads. Every month an obstacle race
I wonder if the iluma high? Will work I got the diva cup one day for heavy flow Long story short it got stuck and suctioned. I freaked out. Took me all the patience in the world to get it off gently. I tried again but that time was careful. I still didn’t like it. Turns out I’m not alone and my cervix wasn’t meant for that type. I got dysplasia of the cervix too so it’s a tough one to think of what would work. But that giant disc one looked so promising. Imma look into it. Now I’m subscribed. I’m 30 but would love to stay in touch with all the new tech b
i dont have a high cervix but i have little hands which means little fingers. i cannot reach my cervix but i can wear something like the diva cup no problem. what i DID have a problem with was the nuvaring when i was on it since it has to sit at your cervix!
I have a Lily cup, I noticed with a high cervix when I put my cup in it’s too long to where it sticks out and is uncomfortable but once it adjusts itself it gets up way too high and is still difficult to grab even with the longer cup
I was considering trying this but now that I have found out ab people accidentally suctioning their cervix and being hospitalized I have realized I’m not gonna do this :)
I have a low cervix. I have a Diva Cup 1 and had to cut as much of the stem off as possible so it wouldn’t poke me. I’m looking to replace it as soon as it gets iffy/I lose it, but I see a lot more advertised to those with high cervixes, but I may just be looking in the wrong place.
I would recommend the saalt cup! I had that issue with the Diva 1 and the saalt cup is shaped to have more volume while being a little shorter so I don’t have that poking problem. Hope this helps!
I have a high cervix I think and I use a lily cup, untrimmed, and I have still had it float up and had to wait for it to fill and the weight to pull it down. I have also had issues with leaking with discs. I usually use period underwear lately because my periods have been painful as of late, and I have PMDD.
My cervix is so high lil lady’s in outer space. 😂😂 and I have insanely heavy periods. It took me a few tries to find a cup that worked for me. I’m currently using xo flo large size, but am looking for something with a longer stem bc there are still days where my cup is really difficult to reach bc my cervix is so high. 😂
Yeah that’s why cups didn’t work well for me. Tried a disc a few days ago and that’s a little better but know I have to get a disc with a pull tab and I think and hope that’ll be my perfect for me.
No wonder my cups never worked for me! I just learned I have a high cervix. It all makes sense. Now I know what to look for 😂🙌🏾
Same
SAME! I also learned that using my pelvic floor to push while I was tugging the little “tail” to get it out helped a lot! But I’m def trying one of these for higher cervix!
Me too... 😂. I switched to disks because of how many times I almost couldn't get it out.

This is why I’m never using cups until I somehow figure out where my cervix is! Sounds absolutely horrendous to have something suctioned on there
Never knew this could happen… 💀

I just place my cup just after entering the canal. Period is going to fall anyway. And as juicy as I am, I need the canal as an extra storage space. Not to mention that my muscules often suck up the cup, so I often need to push it down. Thank you Kegel
I have a high cervix and flex is my go too I recently had to get the smaller cup because the regular size was too wide and uncomfortable but the little loop on the end makes it so easy to remove!!! Uhgggg!
Lilly cup actually looks like it would work so well😭😭
I have kind of the opposite problem, my cervix I really low, like sometimes a little more than an inch away from my entrance. so cups are uncomfortable, and I only recently discovered there WERE things like discs 😅 they are a lot more comfortable for me
Flex is amazing and the only menstrual cup thats worked for me. Ive tried others but they were all impossible to get out
Sorry ladies, thank you for what you do
IVE USED THIS EXACT SAME VASE BC OR A MENSTRAL CUP DEMO A FEW YEARS AGO LOL
Oh, that's why I have such a rough time
| always feel super nervous using cups because I still feel like I'm using them wrong
I have literally no clue what she is talking about, but it looks interesting.
I have the lumma and i love it because it is a non suction method! However it still needs a longer string for me to be able to get it out, just a little!
Good Lord I'm glad I don't have to worry about that shit anymore
I think I've finally figured it out. I have a low cervix at the beginning of my cycle, so much it's hard to wear "standard" cups. But by the end of my cycle, I have hard time getting the cup out it's gone so high - I think my cervix moves during my cycle from low to high as estrogen increases.
You say glass vase, I see a triple shot 😂
“Lets pretend that this glass vase is your V@ginal canal”
Me, a guy: okay, do go on.
Idk why im so invested in learning and watching these things, lol. Im a Trans guy and recently my cycle stopped, so i have no use in this info (also always used pads) and im Gay so i wont have a partner that needs this either, lol. Guess it goes to show how good your content and easy to understand it is. Good job :3
Holy shoot! I think I have a high cervix. I’ve always had issues grabbing my cup.
wait omg this happens to me. sometimes i have to stick multiple fingers up there to try and get it out
Not sure why youtube felt the need for me to see this but here we are, I think this is a sign to go to sleep.
Periods cups also DO NOT WORK for women with low cervixes. If your cervix is too low the cup will not fit over the cervix without being knocked out of the vaginal canal.
my cervix can end up pretty high, but i also have eds so i have the option of either folding my hand in half to reach or stretching to reach 2 fingers up enough 🤣
My cervix likes to migrate a lot so I would cut the stem off for when it sat low. And if it was ever too high for me to reach you can make it come down by bearing down your muscles. 🤷🏽♀️
Not me learning just now I might have a high cervix
The merula and merula xl have a LONG ladder handle .
I have to have my tampon farther in bc of my cervix height! It’s so fun
Ok I’m a guy and idk why but I love learning about periods and sanitary products.
Don’t want to use these things anyway but it’s still good informational stuff, education is key.
Can you make an example of what will happen when you have a tilted cervix?
Mine is coming very close to the side so the cup never works, it always drips down the side and the disc doesn’t fit under the cervix so it’s just free fall flow.
I sometimes have that problem with tampons and I recently been having contact dermatitis from pads. Every month an obstacle race
I had to do a kegel at one point because I couldn't grab the tail of my cup and I was almost sobbing in the bathroom
That struggle to reach the high service stuck cup was painful to watch, what would someone even do in that situation?? How do you get it out? 😭
I wonder if the iluma high? Will work
I got the diva cup one day for heavy flow
Long story short it got stuck and suctioned. I freaked out. Took me all the patience in the world to get it off gently.
I tried again but that time was careful. I still didn’t like it.
Turns out I’m not alone and my cervix wasn’t meant for that type.
I got dysplasia of the cervix too so it’s a tough one to think of what would work. But that giant disc one looked so promising.
Imma look into it.
Now I’m subscribed.
I’m 30 but would love to stay in touch with all the new tech b
i dont have a high cervix but i have little hands which means little fingers. i cannot reach my cervix but i can wear something like the diva cup no problem. what i DID have a problem with was the nuvaring when i was on it since it has to sit at your cervix!
Power tools require a power source. Electricity, pneumatics, etc.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 and now I have greater respect
I have a slight tilt in there that makes the cup base poke me at the sides, super annoying
I have a Lily cup, I noticed with a high cervix when I put my cup in it’s too long to where it sticks out and is uncomfortable but once it adjusts itself it gets up way too high and is still difficult to grab even with the longer cup
those hurt like hell
Ohhh. I never considered my high cervix as my issue. It is sooo scary. I squat like I’m having a baby to get it down 😂
I was considering trying this but now that I have found out ab people accidentally suctioning their cervix and being hospitalized I have realized I’m not gonna do this :)
My cervix is actually so far down that I haven't found a cup that fits comfortably...
disc might be better?
My cervix gets extremely low halfway through my period. I found that the Hello Disc & Lumme Low Cervix/small Disc work best for me.
I have a low cervix. I have a Diva Cup 1 and had to cut as much of the stem off as possible so it wouldn’t poke me. I’m looking to replace it as soon as it gets iffy/I lose it, but I see a lot more advertised to those with high cervixes, but I may just be looking in the wrong place.
I would recommend the saalt cup! I had that issue with the Diva 1 and the saalt cup is shaped to have more volume while being a little shorter so I don’t have that poking problem. Hope this helps!
@@katniss425 Thank you! I’ll have to read up on it next time I’m looking for a new one!
I'm medium-high but Lily was still too long for me. I'm excited but nervous for my Saalt disc.
I have a high cervix I think and I use a lily cup, untrimmed, and I have still had it float up and had to wait for it to fill and the weight to pull it down. I have also had issues with leaking with discs. I usually use period underwear lately because my periods have been painful as of late, and I have PMDD.
This happened to me the first time I tried a cup i was freaking out thinking it was stuck forever as a young teen 🤣
I have a retroverted uterus, is that why I can’t ever find my damn cervix? Lol
My cervix is so high lil lady’s in outer space. 😂😂 and I have insanely heavy periods. It took me a few tries to find a cup that worked for me. I’m currently using xo flo large size, but am looking for something with a longer stem bc there are still days where my cup is really difficult to reach bc my cervix is so high. 😂
I think I may have a medium-high cervix, It gets to a point where I can just barely reach my cup using a normal sized one.
Yeah that’s why cups didn’t work well for me. Tried a disc a few days ago and that’s a little better but know I have to get a disc with a pull tab and I think and hope that’ll be my perfect for me.
This is interesting actually🤔 have no idea why, just like learning anything I suppose.
