I noticed this intuitively after using the cup for the first year, sometimes it felt right sometimes it didn’t. That’s why it’s important to have different cups and products for those different days
I can’t stop seeing the shape of our female reproductive organs as a moose, now. 😆 Truly though, Thank you so much for this info. This helps me understand and prepare for my periods instead of dreading the day of its existence every month. The latter still happens, but at least I have the knowledge to manage it better. 😊
I was aware that cervix moved as part of the physiological changes that occur during arousal but damn Im really glad to know why some days it's a struggle to get my disc in
Once you have your cervix height try taking the quiz on periodnirvana.com to find a cup or disc most likely to fit you best. Or check out the other resources we have such as sortable charts (sort by length with or without stem!) and our filterable database.
I don't wear internal menstrual products, but the cervix moving around would explain why on some days getting impaled by a vase cleaner was more uncomfortable than others, depending where I was on my cycle. Very useful to know
I would recommend the hello disc then! It’s stem can be flipped, tucked, long depending on where your cervix is on the day, definitely recommend checking it out!
As someone with treatment resistant endometriosis who can’t use tampons or other insertable menstrual devices because of pain and constant bleeding, I was wondering if you could make a video about types of products that can be used for those issues. I’ve had to experiment a lot, since using pads for a long time (like 2-3 months straight from constant bleeding) can cause severe chafing. I hope the suggestion isn’t too specific, or too out there! Love your content!
@@mx_potatohead1326 I’ll definitely try that, especially with it being reusable! Usually I have to use maternity pads but I’ll see if there are any high absorption period underwear. Thanks!
Try using a water- based lubricant. Helps when one is dry down there. Hopefully helps the pad from chafting. 🍀Best of luck. One can just use a finger putting the lubricant on the outside part of the vagina.
Cups are so easy to wear with a little W cervix because I trim all my stems but tampons are so hard to use for me. I have to use the mini ones and even then I wish they were just a cm shorter
I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this, but if we can touch our cervix with a finger or tampon and feel discomfort, how do we not end up in pain while being impaled by a vase cleaner? That tends to be longer than my longest finger is.
Well the vase cleaner can actually hit the cervix. If your cervix is very low, or just in an odd position, yeah the vase cleaner can hit it and it does hurt like a bitch. The cervix can actually get bruised from too much blunt force trauma, and will hurt for a few days. But in my experience, the vase cleaner actually goes above (towards my frontside) my cervix and goes into the little pocket above it which is the anterior vaginal fornix, aka the A-spot. Sometimes it hits my cervix, sometimes it just goes above it, I still haven't figured out why. (I'm not a doctor, just speaking from experience)
I think mine is low cervix. It gets lower too during mens since i could touch my cervix tip at about half the length of my middle finger. Im using a small cup but had to cut off the entire stem and sometimes even the bottom of the cup peeks out if I squat down.
I was always too scared to use a cup. I tried using a diaphram in college, and I could not reach my cervix. 10 years later, an obgyn finally told me that my vajajay was longer than typical.
PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER THIS!!! Ok so I do jujitsu (a type of martial art) and I’ve always been terrified whenever I’m on my period and even when I feel fine I’ll still miss practice because I’m afraid that my tampon will leak or pop out or something I’m too embarrassed to ask people I know Irl but does anyone have any tips on how I can do this type of sport without bleeding anywhere or do I just have to take a week off every month because honestly it sucks Sorry this is so long any advice is appreciated 😓
Hey there, I used to do Brazilian Juijitsu and literally all I used then was a pad. Let me tell you, it was hella uncomfortable, but it never leaked. Though, it's a good thing you're using tampons already. My advice if you're nervous: wear your tampon as well as a liner, and use a tight underwear that hugs you. You want to feel as secure as possible, especially when you're grappling.
THANK YOU This definitely makes me feel more secure with trying this out I like the idea of having a liner for extra protection Ig I’ll have to try it out 😅
I also do contact sport and I can reassure you a tampon will never really just “pop out” - if you’re ever on a toilet try to squeeze it out, it’s really hard. Maybe use a new one right before practice and you should be good :) like the other person said, you can wear a liner or even a pad for extra safety with tight underwear. Happy sporting :)
Using my alt just to say this I am genuinely shocked, but it all makes sense now. I use tampons, and sometimes it feels like it's hard to insert all the way, or I'm not doing it right, but now I know
I noticed at a certain point in perimenopause that I couldn't wear my cup anymore because my cervix was suddenly too high consistently every month. Does going through peri cause changes in cervical height? I had successfully worn a cup for 4-5 years prior to this. It's very frustrating since I was so happy to have finally found a period product that I did not hate.
Karensalynch, Try using a water-based lubricant. Helps the cup go in easy. Applying the lubricant using the pointy finger before inserting cup helps with comfort. I even use the cup on non-period days to catch discharge lubricant, & it makes a big difference. 🍀Best wishes. 41 yo, but not at perimenopause yet.
I trim the stem of my cup really short. I usually grab the base to take it out, but the cup always sits low enough that the stem catches on my underwear and rubs all day if I don't trim it!
I noticed it gets lower on or close to my period. I only noticed when u was measuring if i had a high or low cervix while planning to purchase a menstrual disc
Ladies summarizing and 59 years old male and I never knew you and I saw your stations in books how the cervix Really look like even though I put my fingers in there and l move them around and never imagine I was also her fallopian tubes you are Amazing thank you for this reading how the organs are inside even though I really don’t care about blood or cups or anything like that. Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊😊
some days the tampon slides right in other days it's like my canal is an inch deep wtf is happening?! 😭 i thought i had a prolapse, but maybe it was my cervix... 'cause when i accidentally touched it once i felt pain and fainted. 💀
My cervix starts low and starts to rise as you get to the uterus, so I have to insert my cup upside down, like a menstrual disc. And my cervix is also tilted to the left. I'm so crooked. :'( How am I supposed to make it not to leak especially at night? I have a veeeeeery super duper menstrual flow. '-'
Mine is high and I also have short fingers. Ive never been able to feel my cervix with a finger. Guess that’s why I like ‘em big if you know what I mean.
Mine was so high during my last period I had a really hard time even finding it and it’s been so difficult to learn to use a disc, I’ve been trying now for two cycles and I still have leaks 😢 I hope I can get it right this next cycle.
I have never been able to touch my cervix. GYN visits are always irritating because they have to "look for" it. I now understand why I can easily enjoy sex with my boyfriend who is weirdly well endowed. I'm very okay with this.

totally makes sense for why on some days I can wear a tampon and other days it hurts too much
That's why I find it difficult to decide on a menstrual disc. It's both high and low 🤷♀️

mine sits low on my period. i had to cut the entire stem off my cup
What is the smallest disc that you have or recommend for teens?
Sooo glad I am done with monthly visitor, but like the updated information 😊

@@carwash9333thank you I never actually thought of that
@@carwash9333 Additionally, the vaginal canal increases a bit in length when aroused!

I had to stop using cups... I had problems with the shorter cups being too narrow but the wider cups were too long :(
Try a disc instead. Solves both problems 😊

I'm a woman of course, But knowing my cervix moves like that just made me uncomfortable 😭💀

I trim the stem of my cup really short. I usually grab the base to take it out, but the cup always sits low enough that the stem catches on my underwear and rubs all day if I don't trim it!
I have long suspected this!
Can you do a video on menstrual cups you would recommend for first time users? Love your vids!!
I love your shirt? Where is it from
I noticed it gets lower on or close to my period. I only noticed when u was measuring if i had a high or low cervix while planning to purchase a menstrual disc
Is this why I have cramps in different places of my stomach??
Hay, can you talk about when the uterus lining coming out as a whole/in chuncks. Its rare but there is little info on it

When I'm on my period and I have to stand for a long time, it hurts and feels like my uterus is about to fall out. Is that normal?
some days the tampon slides right in
other days it's like my canal is an inch deep wtf is happening?! 😭 i thought i had a prolapse, but maybe it was my cervix... 'cause when i accidentally touched it once i felt pain and fainted. 💀
Huh, this explains a lot lol tbh something i didnt know until now
Ah, makes sense now
My cervix is wayyy to low😢
Does it ever move left to right? Bc I just checked up on my cervix and it was way more to the left than I remember it being
'Like the tip of your nose' - now I see where I'm going wrong!
If it changes during your cycle wouldn’t it be at a very similar position during your period?
Why was this not taught on school….
That’s a lot of insertion 😨
I dont have a vagina but this explains things and is interesting
I think I went too far in, I didn't feel anything except for like right at the beginning. Please help me, I don't know?!?!
It also moves when a woman has an orgasm so you also have to take that into consideration.

❤❤
Anytime I have a tampon in its uncomfortable I think I have a lower cervix??
Like I feel as though it's poking out
Cervix, I hate that thing
Are the squiggles ever coming back!?!
WTH it’s just jiggling around in there?😮
is your name also Nirvana? 👀🥹
No you just contract it out like what
