Allmatters Menstrual Cup

Why We Love the AllMatters Menstrual Cup

We like the AllMatters Menstrual Cup because it combines a simple, familiar bell shape with soft, flexible silicone and three different capacities. The cup is easy to fold, while the grip rings around its base and tab-style stem provide useful features for removal.

Its softer construction may appeal to people who prefer a more flexible cup, particularly those with an average-height cervix. However, softer cups can sometimes be more difficult to open fully after insertion, especially if you have strong pelvic floor muscles. If you prefer a firmer cup that opens more readily, another design may work better for you.

We also appreciate that the Mini provides a smaller option, while sizes A and B offer greater capacity. As with any menstrual cup, the best choice depends on your individual measurements and preferences rather than age or birth history alone.

• Soft, flexible 100% medical-grade silicone
• Traditional bell-shaped body with a slightly flared rim
• Three sizes with capacities from 19 to 33 ml
• Grip rings around the base to assist with removal
• Tab-style stem to help locate and remove the cup
• Stem can be trimmed to adjust its length if needed
• Reusable design for repeated use across menstrual cycles
• Manufacturer-recommended wear time of up to 12 hours, depending on flow
• Made in Germany
• Organic cotton storage bag included
• Printed instructions included inside the product box

This Product May Suit You If...

• You prefer a soft, flexible menstrual cup that is easy to fold for insertion.
• You want a traditional bell-shaped cup rather than a menstrual disc.
• You have an average-height cervix and prefer a familiar cup shape.
• You are trying a menstrual cup for the first time and are comfortable allowing time to learn insertion and removal.
• You prefer a cup with grip rings and a tab-style stem.
• You want a choice of three capacities to accommodate different flow requirements.
• You want a reusable menstrual product for everyday activities, exercise, swimming or overnight use.

Consider Another Option If...

• You have a very low cervix and need a particularly short cup.
• You have a high cervix or limited hand dexterity and prefer a longer stem, ring or loop removal aid.
• You find softer cups difficult to open and prefer a firmer rim or body.
• You experience uncomfortable pressure from menstrual cups and need a different shape or diameter.
• You need more than 33 ml of capacity between emptying.
• You prefer a menstrual product that does not rely on a suction seal, such as a menstrual disc.
• You prefer external period protection, such as reusable pads or period underwear.

Choosing the right menstrual cup size involves more than simply selecting a small or large option. Consider your cervix height, cup length, diameter, flow and personal comfort.

Cervix height helps you assess whether a cup's length may suit your body, while diameter can influence comfort and how securely the cup sits. Capacity matters for flow, but a larger cup is not automatically a better fit.

AllMatters offers three sizes: Mini, A and B. Period Shop also uses the familiar Small and Large naming to help customers identify the corresponding sizes.

Total length includes the stem. Capacities are measured to the air holes.

Mini

Mini is the smallest AllMatters cup, with a 19 ml capacity, a 37 mm diameter and a total length of 58 mm.

It may suit someone with a lighter flow or a preference for a smaller cup during insertion and removal. It may also be worth considering if larger cups feel uncomfortable.

If you have a moderate or heavy flow, you may need to empty the Mini more frequently.

Small (Size A)

Small, known as Size A by AllMatters, has a 27 ml capacity, a 41 mm diameter and a total length of 70 mm.

It may be a practical starting point for someone with an average-height cervix who wants a middle-capacity cup.

Its capacity may suit a light-to-moderate flow, depending on how frequently you prefer to empty your cup. Consider another size if its length or diameter does not suit your anatomy.

Large (Size B)

Large, known as Size B by AllMatters, offers the highest capacity in the range at 33 ml. It has a 44 mm diameter and a total length of 72 mm.

It may suit someone with a moderate-to-heavy flow or who already knows they prefer a wider cup.

Its larger size may not suit everyone, particularly if you have a lower cervix or find wider cups uncomfortable. A larger capacity should not take priority over a comfortable fit.

Each retail package contains:

• One AllMatters Menstrual Cup in your selected size
• One organic cotton storage bag
• Printed instructions inside the product box

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your menstrual cup.
2. Fold the cup using a C-fold, punch-down fold or another fold that creates a comfortable insertion point.
3. Find a relaxed position and gently insert the folded cup into your vagina, directing it towards your tailbone.
4. Allow the cup to open below your cervix. Check around the base to make sure it has opened fully and formed a seal.
5. Wear according to your flow and the manufacturer's instructions. AllMatters recommends a maximum wear time of 12 hours. Empty it sooner if your flow requires.
6. To remove, wash your hands, relax your pelvic floor and gently reach the base of the cup.
7. Pinch the base to release the suction seal before slowly easing the cup out. Do not pull it out using the stem alone.
8. Empty the contents into the toilet, rinse the cup and reinsert as needed.

The stem can be trimmed if you find it too long or uncomfortable. If you choose to do this, remove the cup first and trim it carefully, taking care not to damage the base of the cup. Never trim the stem while the cup is inside your body.

It can take a few cycles to become familiar with inserting, positioning and removing a menstrual cup. Using backup period underwear or a reusable pad while learning may help you feel more prepared.

Wear time: As a general rule, reusable menstrual cups and discs should not be worn for longer than 12 hours, although some manufacturers recommend a shorter wear time. Please follow the instructions supplied with your product and empty it sooner if your flow requires.

Clean and sanitise your AllMatters Menstrual Cup according to the manufacturer's instructions before first use and between periods.

• Wash your hands before handling the cup.
• During your period, rinse the cup with clean water whenever you empty it.
• If using a cleanser, choose a mild, fragrance-free product suitable for menstrual cups and rinse thoroughly.
• After your period, sanitise the cup in boiling water for 3–5 minutes, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Allow the cup to dry completely before storing it in the breathable organic cotton bag.
• Inspect the silicone regularly for tears, cracks, unusual stickiness or other signs of deterioration.
• Replace the cup if it becomes damaged or no longer appears suitable for use.

The AllMatters Menstrual Cup is designed for repeated use over multiple menstrual cycles. With appropriate cleaning and care, the manufacturer indicates that the cup can last for up to 10 years under normal use.

Its actual lifespan will depend on how frequently it is used, how well it is maintained and its overall condition. Always inspect your cup regularly and replace it sooner if you notice signs of deterioration.

• Always follow the supplied instructions and do not exceed the manufacturer's maximum recommended wear time.
• Empty the cup sooner when your flow requires it.
• Menstrual cups carry a rare risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). If you experience symptoms such as sudden fever, vomiting, dizziness, fainting or a rash, remove the cup and seek urgent medical attention.
• If you have previously experienced TSS, consult a healthcare professional before using a menstrual cup.
• If you have an IUD, consult your healthcare professional before using a menstrual cup. Always release the suction seal fully before removal.
• Seek individual medical advice if you have a gynaecological condition, pelvic organ prolapse, have recently given birth or have undergone pelvic surgery.
• Stop using the cup if you experience ongoing pain, irritation or unusual discomfort.
• Never trim the stem while the cup is inside your body.
