Menstrual Cup Quiz: Find Your Perfect Cup in 60 Seconds
Menstrual Cup Quiz: Find Your Perfect Cup in 60 Seconds
If you've ever bought a menstrual cup that didn't fit, you already know the problem: most sizing quizzes are too simple. "Are you under 30?" "Light or heavy flow?" Done. That misses the two factors that actually decide whether a cup will work for you: cervix height and pelvic floor tone.
Our cup finder quiz was built with an OB-GYN — Dr. Elena Dolgan — and asks the same questions she would ask in clinic. It takes about 60 seconds.

Why Most Cup Quizzes Get It Wrong
Most major cup brands sell a "small" and a "large" sized by age and birth history:
That rule is a holdover from the early 2000s. It ignores cervix height — the single biggest reason cups fail for new users. Around 1 in 3 women has a low cervix, and a standard cup is simply too long for them. The cup pokes out, hurts to remove, or sits so low it leaks.
It also ignores pelvic floor tone. A tight pelvic floor needs a softer, narrower cup that doesn't force the muscles open. A weak pelvic floor benefits from a firmer rim that holds suction reliably and provides gentle support.
- Small = under 30, no vaginal birth
- Large = over 30 or post-vaginal birth
What Our Quiz Measures
The cup finder asks 5 categories of questions:
1. Cervix height
Where does your cervix sit when you're on your period? (Most women don't know — we walk you through a 10-second self-check.) A low cervix means you need a short, compact cup like Leia. A high cervix gives you more cup options.
2. Flow level
How heavy is your heaviest day? This decides capacity. Most cups (including Leia at 30 ml) handle anything short of clinically heavy bleeding. Very heavy flow may push you toward a disc.
3. Birth history
Vaginal childbirth changes the vaginal canal and pelvic floor. It doesn't always mean you need a "large" cup — many women post-birth do better with a softer, anatomically shaped cup than a wider one.
4. Pelvic floor signals
Do you experience pain with tampons or sex? Trouble fully emptying your bladder? Leaks when you sneeze? These point to a tight, weak, or mixed pelvic floor — and each one changes the cup recommendation. (Learn more in our pelvic floor: tight or weak guide.)
5. Activity level
Yoga and running put different demands on a cup than a desk job. High-activity users need a reliable seal that won't shift mid-workout.
What You'll Get
At the end you'll see:
- The Leia cup size that fits your anatomy (or a clear note if a disc would be a better fit)
- Which fold to try first based on your cervix height and pelvic floor signals
- Whether to add the Leia Case and Drying Stand for hygienic cycle-to-cycle care
- Any flags worth bringing up with your OB-GYN
How Long Does It Take?
Most people finish in under 90 seconds. The longest step is the cervix-height check — and even if you skip it, the quiz uses your other answers to give a confident recommendation.

A Note from the OB-GYN Who Built It
"Every week in clinic I meet women who've tried two or three menstrual cups and assumed cups weren't for them. Almost always, the issue was fit — not cups. A good sizing quiz should ask the same questions I ask in an exam. That's what we built." — Elena Dolgan, M.D.
