Curve Menstrual Cup

Why We Love the Curve Menstrual Cup

We love the Curve Menstrual Cup for its distinctive curved profile and tilted rim, which offer an alternative to more traditional menstrual cup designs.

Its shape may appeal to people who find conventional bell-shaped cups less comfortable or who prefer to explore a different design. The ribbed stem provides a useful grip when locating the cup for removal, while the two size options allow you to compare dimensions and capacity when choosing what may work best for your body.

The Curve may also be worth considering if you experience bladder sensitivity or have a tilted uterus or cervix and find that other cup shapes are uncomfortable. However, individual anatomy and preferences vary, and no particular cup shape is guaranteed to resolve bladder pressure or suit everyone.

As with any menstrual cup, finding the right fit depends on your cervix height, anatomy, flow and comfort preferences rather than age or childbirth history alone.

This Product May Suit You If...

• You prefer to explore a curved menstrual cup rather than a traditional bell-shaped design.
• You find some conventional cup shapes uncomfortable.
• You want a cup with a tilted rim and distinctive curved profile.
• You prefer a ribbed stem to help locate the cup during removal.
• You want a choice of two sizes and capacities.
• You are comfortable learning how to fold, insert, position and remove a menstrual cup.
• You want a reusable alternative to disposable period products.

Consider Another Option If...

• You have a low cervix and the cup's overall length or stem does not feel comfortable.
• You have a high cervix and prefer a longer cup or a different removal aid.
• You find the cup's diameter uncomfortable or experience pressure when wearing it.
• You have difficulty folding, inserting or removing menstrual cups.
• You need a capacity greater than 30 ml between emptying.
• You prefer external period products, such as reusable pads or period underwear.
• You experience ongoing pain or discomfort with internal menstrual products.

Choosing the right menstrual cup involves more than selecting Small or Large. Your cervix height, cup diameter, total length, menstrual flow and personal comfort preferences can all influence which size may suit you.

The Curve is available in two sizes, with different dimensions and capacities.

Small

The Small Curve has a 45 mm diameter, a total length of 58 mm and a capacity of 25 ml to the suction holes.

Its shorter overall length may be worth considering if you have a lower-to-average cervix, provided the diameter and capacity suit your needs.

If you have a heavier menstrual flow, you may need to empty this size more frequently.

Large

The Large Curve has a 48 mm diameter, a total length of 68 mm and a capacity of 30 ml to the suction holes.

Its greater length and slightly wider diameter may suit someone who prefers a larger cup or needs additional capacity.

The increased capacity may allow longer intervals between emptying compared with the Small, depending on your menstrual flow.

Remember: A larger cup is not automatically a better fit. Consider your cervix height, available space and comfort when choosing between the two sizes.

Using a menstrual cup can take a little practice. Allow yourself time to become familiar with folding, insertion, positioning and removal.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your cup.
2. Follow the supplied instructions to prepare the cup before first use.
3. Fold the cup using a comfortable fold and gently insert it as directed in the user guide.
4. Allow the cup to open and check that it is positioned correctly.
5. Wear for up to 12 hours, emptying sooner if your menstrual flow requires it.
6. To remove, wash your hands and follow the supplied instructions to release the cup's seal before gently easing it out.
7. Empty and clean the cup according to the care instructions before reinserting or storing it.

The ribbed stem is designed to help you locate the cup for removal. If you need to adjust its length, only trim it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Never pull forcefully on the stem to remove the cup.
