It’s important to know the position of your cervix as this can affect the way you should insert your Hello Cup and can also finding the right cup for you. Our standard Hello Cups are made for people with an ‘average’ cervix height - but we often find people with a high cervix are able to use them too.
If you have a low cervix - you might want to opt for our specially designed Low Cervix Hello Cup as the toggle may protrude with a standard Hello Cup.
To determine the height of your cervix, we’ve put together a wee guide below. Simply follow the steps and use our table to determine your cervix height. Make sure you do this when you have your period, for accuracy. Also - we often find this task is easiest in the shower!
Step 1: Wash your hands
Step 2: While on your period, insert a finger into the vagina and feel for the cervix - it should feel like the tip of your nose (a round, soft, knobbly thing).
Step 3: Note how far your finger is inside, and retract your finger. Either use a thumb, mark with a pen, or simply remember the point at which your cervix was felt. Measure this length against a ruler. (You’ll obviously need to leave the shower for this bit!)
Step 4: Align how your measurements with our guide below to determine your cervix height.
About: 55mm (2.25″) or higher.
Can’t reach your cervix, or find it hard to reach? You’ll likely have a high cervix. People with a high cervix often find most menstrual cups fit well without being too long. If you have a high cervix you might need to use your pelvic floor muscles to help move your cup down when it comes time for removal. People with a really high cervix of more than 80mm might want to opt for a specialist high cervix cup.
About: 45 mm (1.8″) – 55 mm (2.25″)
There’s nothing wrong with being average! You’ll be a great candidate for our standard Hello Cup range. For sizing info try our size guide.
About: 44 mm (1.6″) or lower
If your cervix was easily reachable near the vaginal opening, you’ll likely have a low cervix. People with a low cervix usually means a standard size cup won’t be quite right - as they’ll be able to feel it, and it will be uncomfortable.
If you have a low cervix - you might want to opt for our specially designed Low Cervix Hello Cup as the toggle may protrude with a standard Hello Cup. For sizing info try our quiz.
