I have been using the Venus large cup for a few months now and I can say it is the best I have tried. The suction is great with no leaks and the comfort is great too. I struggle with heavy periods and the Venus has been able to handle them so much better than brands I have tried!! I would highly recommend!

Excellent for ladies that have a heavy flow!
I have fibroids, and this was the only one that works for me during that special time.

Ok it took me soooo long to get on this, and I'm not sure what I was thinking.. make sure to read the instructions and try out the different "fold" techniques if the first one doesn't work well. Even with getting your hands dirty it's still so much more convenient! Tampons always used to leak for me so i would still have to wear a pad - this doesn't!

I have tried a couple different cups, diva and lena cup. I bought the size large of the venus because I have trouble with the other cups leaking and not holding enough. This has been the best one for heavy bleeding that I have used. I can go about 6-8 hours on my heavy day and has not leaked yet. I am very impressed. It is comfortable can't feel it once it is in. It seems easy to remove but you have to be very comfortable with yourself to get up in there to break the seal. I am very happy with my purchase and with the price.

Thank you for sharing your experience while using the large Venus Cup, as well as comparing it to well-known brands. It helps others get a better understanding of how much the Venus Cup can hold.
We're pleased to hear that the Venus Cup has been able to provide you with long-lasting wear during your heavy flow days while still being comfortable.
Tip for removal: If you have tried already, squatting in the tub/shower when removing will help bring the cup closer to the vaginal opening.
Cheers to comfortable, high-capacity menstrual protection!

This cup is very soft. It is almost impossible for me to make it pop, let alone create suction. I have to spin it for sometimes a full 5 minutes before it will unfold, but has never once created suction. Too soft for me. Sadly. It is a good size for heavy periods..if you can work a soft cup. You may love it. I'll.stick with Super Jennie and peachlife
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Hi Gemini,
Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback while using the large Venus Cup. Although we tried to keep the Venus Cup at a medium firmness, there are always going to be individuals who find it either too soft or too firm. We apologize that you were one of them.
If you decide to try the Venus Cup again, here are some tips that might help get the cup open.

-Let the cup open in a lower position (insert cup 1/2 way). The cervix can often prevent the rim from expanding. Then use a single finger to push the cup into place.
-Insert the cup and use a single finger to press the body into the vaginal wall. Then slowly release the pressure and allow the cup to open against your finger. A wide-body cup like the Venus Cup sometimes needs a little space to open in.

Again, we're sorry that the Venus Cup didn't work for you from the start but we're pleased to hear that you have other cups that are perfect for you.
Please don't hesitate to contact us directly for one on one support. We're here to help.

Best wishes,

This was the first menstrual cup I ever purchased. The medical grade silicone is FIRM...it is foldable and bendable..but definitely firmer than other menstrual cups. This style/shape didn't do so well for me as it seemed to not have a great suction and this affected its overall fit and comfort. I was always AWARE of exactly where it was...and almost paranoid about it slipping. There are other brands out there - and I think if you're committed to making healthier choices for your body and the environment, it's worth a shot to try a couple of other brands. Most have coupons available that can take the edge off the price. Once you find the "feel" that works for you...you won't ever go back to pads/tampons.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Indeed, menstrual cups are not a “one-size-fits-all” type of product. Although we tried to keep it at an average length and diameter compared to other well-known, reputable brands, with a medium firmness, it will still not be the cup for every individual. We’re sorry that you found the Venus Cup too firm for your comfort. We appreciate that you gave the Venus Cup a chance and thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. We hope that you find a cup that’s perfect for you even if it’s not the Venus Cup.
In the meantime, if you decide to give the large Venus Cup another try, you can turn it inside out to see if that feels more comfortable as long as you are sure that you can remove it without a stem. This will make the cup shorter and narrower, while also relieving some of the pressure (firmness). Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly for one on one support should you want to try again.
Best wishes,

Listen, this menstrual cup is THE menstrual cup. I bought the Large. It is what I have been needing in my life. I've had 3 others since I jumped on the cup train a few years ago. Had I known about this one, it would have been my first choice but better late than never, right?I am a heavy bleeder. I use a menstrual cup, super pads with wings (the super long ones in the purple wrapper because full coverage. The brand slips m mind right now) and period panties. With all of that, I still had leakage issues and I'm convinced it was mainly due to my menstrual cup. I hadn't had it for too long, maybe a year? Anyway, my vagina needed better. She deserved better! And here we are. I received it yesterday, washed it well then inserted it. I do the U-fold, then once it is up in there, I always twirl it around a bit with my fingers to make sure the cup is sitting correctly and is open and ready to catch. So yesterday was day 4 of my cycle which usually last 6-7 days, counting the last couple of days when there's very little but still enough to need a liner. So needless to say, day 4 for me means still a heavy flow but a *little* less heavy as day 2 or 3. I kept this cup in for 10+ hours, peed a few times, showered, etc. Still no leakage. (With my last cup, I always knew after my first pee there'd be even more leakage to deal with.) So, finally just about an hour ago I went to pee and there was a bit of leakage, OVER 10 HOURS LATER and not even close to as much as I saw with my last cup. When I emptied it, it was maybe half-filled, IF I can even say half... so the leakage may have just been from the way I was laying down.Also, it is comfortable, I don't feel any odd pressure or discomfort after putting it in and it is very easy to latch onto the end and pull it out.Y'all! If your flow is heavy, you've had leakage issues and/or you just know you need a bigger cup for more convenience, this is the one! WINNING.I am not getting paid to review this, I haven't been asked by anyone to use and review this. I'm just a happy woman with a heavy flow who has found the PERFECT cup!

Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Hi Berry,
Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience and feedback while using the large Venus Cup. We’re sorry to hear that it caused some cramping issues. If you’re inclined to try it again at a later date, you can turn the cup inside out to see if it relieves the extra pressure. The cup is safe to use this way as long as you can still reach it for removal. Perhaps you can still take advantage of the size and capacity.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your experience and feedback while using the large Venus Cup. Although we tried to keep the firmness at a medium, it will still be too soft or too firm for certain individuals. We’re just sorry that it was that way for you.
If you feel inclined to try it again, there are some helpful tips in the user manual, as well as Troubleshooting - Venus Menstrual Cup, but here are three methods to getting a softer cup to open:
-A common issue when a cup (any cup) is inserted completely, is that the cervix gets in the way of allowing the rim to fully expand. It can also push the cervix to the side which will cause leaking. Wiggling or rocking the cup down will let your cervix correct itself. Then use a finger to push it back up into place.
-Insert the cup halfway, let it open, and then use a finger to push it into place.
-Insert the cup then use a finger to press it against the vagainal wall to create a space for the cup to expand. Slowly release the pressure from the cup and let it open again your finger.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly should you need support. We’re here to help :)

If all else fails, we hope that you can find a cup with the capacity and firmness that you’re looking for even if it’s not the Venus Cup.
Best wishes,

I’ve been using menstrual cups for about 6 months now (I know, where have I been?!) and I love this cup! I bought both a diva size 2 and the Venus size large at the same time since I wanted to see which one I preferred. I’m 39 years old and have 3 kids - 1 vaginal delivery and 1 c-section (twins). My flow has always been very heavy, but more so the last few years since having my twins.

The diva cup was ALWAYS leaking and after using it for 2-3 cycles it won’t even pop open for me, no matter how I fold it, or how I situate myself. Their customer service answer? I need to see a pelvic floor specialist. WTF?

This Venus cup has worked great every time I’ve used it! I have a super heavy flow and usually have to wear a back up pad overnight the first day or two, but it doesn’t leak any other time.

I just threw away my diva cup and bought another Venus cup to have on hand in case anything happens to this one!

If you’re experiencing light leaking, try wiping the stem and cup base with a clean cloth or wet wipe. There may just be some excess blood making an exit. Cleaning it up beforehand will help stop any spotting you may have. If you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. We’re always here for support.

I got the large. The walls are thinner and softer than Diva and Organicup, which makes for a very comfortable fit. The suction is WHOA. Because of the roundness of the cup, it takes a little more effort to remove but I so prefer the round cup comfort as opposed to the cone-shape. The diva is painful, the organicup I can live with but the suction and size just don’t do it for me. There’s a wonderful spreadsheet on Google if you want to compare sizes of all the various menstrual cups. That’s how I chose to go with the Venus. By far, I recommend this product.

With changes in our bodies and blood, a cup may start to take on a smell after a while. If this ever happens, give it a good wash and set it out to dry by a sunny window. The fresh air will allow all the moisture to evaporate and the sun will help keep it white.

First of all DO NOT CUT THE END. If you do, try to cut as little as possible. It’ll be impossible for you to grasp deep inside if you cut the tail- which that’s the sole purpose, ease of access.When placed correctly? Not even a tornado will disrupt your day because you’ll even forget you had it in.If placed incorrectly? Yeah, make sure you place it correctly otherwise you’ll be filling it. Doesn’t hurt, it just feels like an inconvenience and annoyance.I’ve had 3 childbirths and my uterus is inverted- whatever that means, so maybe works differently on me because my cervix is “designed” differently than average?Fold it to whatever and however is comfortable to your style. At first is very hard to adjust/accommodate but once you get the hang of it, it’ll be in and out in matter of seconds.To remove it, you have to push a little because remember, is suctioned/attached to the cervix then pull.Also, I changed it when at home, why? Because of the amount of blood I got on my hand. I’d let the shower running on scorching hot water and rinsed it thoroughly before placing it again. Haven’t changed it out in public yet.Hope this is helpful 😊

I've tried several cups over the years and this is by far the best one yet. I was a little worried when I first received it because the material seemed thin (I tend to crush softer cups) and the size is a bit intimidating, but it retained it shape with no accidents and was very comfortable. I've used it for two cycles now and it has not stained unlike some of the others. It's also very easy to clean. I would definitely recommend. The only suggestion I would have for an improvement is for it to come with it's own storage container that can be used in the microwave to boil/sanitize it.

Hi katt_gyrl,

Thank you for sharing your experience with the large Venus Cup. Indeed, using a cup for the first time or switching to a new cup can be worrisome, but I’m pleased to hear that you had no issues with insertion or comfort. I hope that it withstands your worse period days as well as your light and easy ones.
As for the storage/sanitizing container, since not everyone feels it’s necessary to boil their cup every month, we opted to save the expense and keep our cup cost low and affordable for all users.
Cheers to mess & leak-free period care!

I pushed it higher and was finally able to get a full night of sleep, no leaks. This cup holds a lot, I'm a heavy bleeder and used to have to get up every 2 hours to dump.... I'm so happy I went 9 hours! Definitely recommend for heavy flow and high cervix people. Don't give up if it leaks, it's worth it to figure it out.

I wish I would've bought this sooner... If you work in a industry where you can't get to the bathroom as much then this cup is for you. Transportation, nursing, delivery, I worked them all and I wished I would've tried this method. My main concern was "that time of the month" smells and leakage. I've had zero leakage, I check frequently because this still new to me but I'll say I get about 2-3 hours on my heaviest days and probably 4-6 on my lighter says. I've been a heavy bleeder so I bought the large cup. I like this cup because I haven't issues with smell except when I'm in the bathroom my confidence is through the roof. I suffered tremendously because of my flow accidents and just overall uncomfortably with myself. But this cup has helped me a lot

Hi Clong237,

Thank you for sharing your experience with the large Venus Cup. Indeed switching to a menstrual cup can be nerve-racking, but I'm pleased to hear that you were able to get over the learning curve quickly. I'm also happy to hear that it gave you at least a little more time and that you didn't have any leaking or odors.
It sounds as though you are doing just fine, but please don't hesitate to contact me directly should you need any support.

Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team

*Pro User Tip: Although the Venus Cup holds more than the average menstrual cup in either size, if you need to empty your cup in public, a couple of pH balanced wet wipes stored in a pocket or bag, will help you freshen up before leaving the stall.

Hi Isabel,

I'm sorry that you didn't have a very good experience with the large Venus Cup. Although we tried to design it so that it was easy to reach for individuals with a high cervix, it may still be out of reach for users with a very high cervix.
If you choose to give the Venus Cup another try, make sure that you are inserting and positioning it correctly. The cervix isn't normally located straight up, but more slanted to the back (near the rectum). In a squatting position, aim the folded cup down and back towards the tailbone. This will place the cup in a better position near the cervix. To remove the cup, squat and bear down with your pelvic floor muscles to bring it closer to the vaginal opening. It may need a series of pushes until it's low enough.
If you still have issues with locating the cup, you may want to look for one specifically designed for a high cervix. These tend to be longer and/or have a longer stem.
Again, I'm sorry that the Venus Cup wasn't your perfect cup right from the start. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you decide to try it again and would like one on one support.

Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team

Hi Chelsea,

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a pleasant experience with the large Venus Cup. Please remember that cups are NOT one-size-fits-all. This may have contributed to it being hard to use or uncomfortable.
If you choose to give the Venus Cup another try, make sure that you are inserting and positioning it correctly. Although the user manual has some inserting tips, I'll share a couple here that may be helpful:
- The cervix isn't normally located straight up, but more slanted to the back (near the rectum). In a squatting position, aim the folded cup down and back towards the tailbone. This will place the cup in a better position near the cervix.
- A common issue when a cup (any cup) is inserted completely, is that the cervix gets in the way of allowing the rim to fully expand. It can also push the cervix to the side and cause leaking. Wiggle or rock the cup down to let your cervix correct itself before pushing it back into place.
Again, I'm sorry that the Venus Cup wasn't your perfect cup right from the start. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you decide to try it again and would like one on one support.

I’ve been using a menstrual cup just over a year, I started with the Duchess and I love it, but the issue I was having with it was that on my heaviest flow day, I would have to empty the cup out every hour and a half, which was very annoying, and if I didn’t catch it in time, it would start leaking. I needed something bigger. I saw the reviews on this cup and decided to give it a go. This cup is so much bigger than my duchess, I tried it out on my period and at first, I had a hard time inserting this cup, I fold it in half, but because this cup is way firmer, it was kind of hard keeping it folded completely while inserting. Once it was in, it was good, I couldn’t feel it. I did notice that I had to go pee frequently though, so it may have been putting pressure on my bladder. I sucked it up and used it for the whole day, and I did not have to empty it out as often, I emptied it out every 4 hrs and that is way better than every 1 1/2 hrs. I am now on my second cycle using this cup, my cycle last about 8-10 days, and I only use this cup for like 3 of those days, And switch over to my duchess when my flow is lighter. This time around, I found it easier to fold the cup in half and hold it tight at the base while inserting, before I would hold the fold in the middle, I no longer feel the need to pee often like I did during the first cycle that I used this cup. Removing the cup is easy, just pull on the stem, I have a pretty high cervix and I’ve never feared the cup getting “lost” nor have I had issues removing it. Overall, I do recommend this cup for those with a heavy flow, this is a life changer for me on the heavy flow days, I don’t have to be paranoid all the time, but I will say that I do get up in the middle of the night to empty it out so that I won’t leak while asleep :) Cheers to Happy periods!

Hi Jenny,

Thank you for taking a moment to share your detailed experience while using the large Venus Cup. Indeed, the large size is a bit longer and has a rounded base compared to the tapered point on the Duchess, but we’re pleased to hear that in the end the Venus Cup was fairly easy to adjust to. Thank you for not giving up on it after your first slightly uncomfortable use. Although you don’t use the Venus Cup for the whole duration of your period, we’re happy that we could provide you with the capacity that you need for your heavy days.

Best wishes,

Finally!!! No leaks! I’ve had a few different cups. Including the Diva Cup. ALL of them leaked! Days 1-2 are my heaviest. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve leaked through all the other cups and they where full and overflowing. Even with tampons I would leak, with the super+. Then I found this cup! I can wake up fresh with no leaks! I would literally wake up and stand out of the bed and immediately be leaking, even woke a few times to leaking blood all over the sheets. So annoying! I’ve done weight lifting, 10k runs, HITT workouts, swimming...NO LEAKS!!! I’m so happy to have found this cup! It holds a bunch!! On days 1-2 I do take it after a workout since it is usually full by then. If I don’t workout, i will empty it around lunchtime or a little before. Then I empty it in my evening shower before bed. Otherwise the other days, I just empty it once in the morning and once at night in the shower right before bed. I sterilize it after my period is Done and it’s good to go the next period. I’m sooooo glad I found this cup! If you have had kids, or have a heavy cycle, or you do heavy workouts, or a combination of any of those things...this cup is your solution!

I used to use the Super Jennie, but had issues with the stem breaking off. When researching other high capacity cups I came across the Venus so thought I would give it a try. I have extremely extremely heavy periods, having to wear a back up pad and empty even high capacity cups every hour and a half to 2 hours.The venus was very easy for me to insert, it opened up much easier than other cups! And thus made it easier to remove. I feel like it sits lower than other cups I've tried but it is so comfortable that I do not notice.I still have to empty it often on my heavy days but the comfort and ease makes up for it. Highly recommend if you have a heavy flow.

I bought this when I finally got sick of leaking thru super plus tampons within 2 hours (Along with the backup pads). From past ob/gyn appointments I knew I have a high cervix and obviously a heavy flow. The thought of these always grossed me out but considering I leak so badly I figured it can’t be worse. I’ve read people usually have to try multiple brands and sizes to get it right but not me! This is the first one I’ve tried and it is amazing and works for me perfectly. I can’t leave it in for 12 hours as they suggest and after about 6 I’m completely filled but I definitely recommend. I’ve actually told my 2 best friends about it and now they’re considering them as well. A plus is it produces no waste and not having to put nasty used tampons in the garbage is great. Only tricky thing is having to empty and rinse it while at work with a shared bathroom but I can sometimes stretch it long enough to wear thru my 8 hour shift, I just use a backup (pad) in case.

Hi Katie,

We understand that the gross factor is very real, but we're happy to hear that you still took a chance to try a menstrual cup!
It's amazing what a little information about a part of the body we don't normally see, can do! Choosing the large Venus Cup for your high cervix was a great choice. Not only does it have a high capacity, but it also has the length that will make it easy to reach.
Indeed, it may not hold up a full 12 hours during a very heavy flow, but if or when your period lightens up during the middle to end, you should be able to leave it in for longer.
A tip for the workplace - if your establishment provides paper towels, you can wet a couple of them before going into the stall. One to wipe the cup as best as you can and the other to wipe your hand so you don't exit the stall with evidence. You can also use pH balanced wet wipes or reusable cloth.

This is my third cup and needed one with a larger capacity. I haven’t been using cups for long but this one seems pretty good. The cup is soft and comfortable. Insertion and removal was relatively easy. My first cup was the Flex cup, which has a tampon like stem and I find it the easiest to remove. However, this cup was fine to remove. The grip texture at base of the cup helps. I especially liked the booklet that came with. As mentioned, I have other cups and am relatively new, but the booklet was still helpful. The pages that help you figure how long you can leave the cup in was helpful. Most say they can be worn for up to 12 hours but depends on the cycle. This page helps you gauge that.

Hello Tathiana,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and experience while using the large Venus Cup. I'm sorry that it felt a little too thick. We designed the rim to be a little thicker for easy opening, but we understand that it might be uncomfortable for some users. If you don't have any problems removing the cup without a stem, you can try turning the cup inside out to make it slightly narrower. It's safe to use and might make it more comfortable.
Other than that, I'm happy to hear that it can stand up to your heavy flow and that you get a good night's rest.

The cup is BIG, guys. If you're just starting out, I honestly wouldn't recommend this cup, because it'd probably be difficult to insert for new user and might even be a bit too large for those with shorter vaginas, or people who haven't had intercourse. Also, the silicone is very firm, much firmer than the DivaCup (which is what I used before). This makes it easier for the cup to open up and stay open once inserted, but it can be uncomfortable if you have a sensitive vagina. And removal with a firmer cup is more of an ordeal, even for someone like me, who has used menstrual cups for years now.That being said, if you've used menstrual cups before and you have a really heavy flow (as in, you can fill up a normal 30ml menstrual cup in 3-5 hours during your heaviest flow), this cup is really convenient. I used to use the DivaCup size 2, but I would still have to change it every 3-4 hours during the second and third days of my period. With this cup, I can get a solid 6-7 hours of sleep before I need to change it. I might get a different cup for the daytime, because this cup isn't the most comfortable, but it's definitely an excellent nighttime cup for those with really heavy flows.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Hi Emma Li,

Thank you for all of the wonderful details of your experience with the large Venus Cup. Although the Venus Cup is about the same length and diameter of other large-sized menstrual cups, the body keeps that diameter to the base of the cup instead of tapering to a point. This is the feature that allows our cup to have a higher capacity. Indeed, it won't be the cup for everyone, since no cup is "one size fits all".
We also would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts on the firmness. It's always hard to gauge how soft or firm cup is since everyone has a different perception of the feeling even if you are comparing it to a well known brand. Some users do the same comparison and say that the Venus Cup is softer. I don't think anyone will know exactly how soft or firm it will be for them unless they feel it first hand, but it's always good to have feedback.
If the large Venus Cup feels too wide or firm, you can try turning it inside out to see if it feels more comfortable. It's safe to use like this as long as you can remove the cup without the stem.
Either way, we're happy to hear that it at least gets you a good night's rest for your heavy days.

I have twins and I had a vaginal delivery. This cup is great and I am very happy for buying it. Amazing capacity!I have been using menstrual cups since 5 months ago and this is the third one that I have bought since then. I think this is the best of the three because I have high cervix and heavy flow.I had to "give birth" with the others I tried everytime I had to take them out because they went up and I couldn't reach them enough to pinch the base. With this one it is much more easy.I did not have any problem inserting it. The material is soft and it has the perfect firmness for me. I really recommend this one for those who have the same characteristics than me.

After using the smaller Diva cup for years, I kept having issues with leaking (either it didn’t open all the way or it was full) so I decided to see what else was out there. It took a few months of research (and procrastination) to finally decide on the Venus cup - a new cup means a few cycles of mishaps before you get it right, right? Not this one. I’m absolutely in love with it! The bell shape allows it to hold more (no more leaks) and it also pops open every time because it’s slightly more rigid. That being said, once it’s in, it’s not noticeable at all. Like anything worth doing, it takes some patience and practice to get the right insert/removal method. I highly recommend this cup for ladies with a heavier flow/leakage problems! I should have bought it sooner!

I have used a variety of cups and this one by far holds the most. I have a very heavy flow the first few days of my cycle and I normally have to empty a normal cup every 2 hours. This definitely gives me a bit more time between emptying. There are some serious problems though. One problem with this cup is how it is very difficult to remove. I have a very high cervix and I can barely reach the tip of the stem. When I find the stem and try to wiggle it down like I can with most cups, I just can't keep a hold on the grip rings. The stem is so slippery and the suction of the cup is so strong it's almost impossible to remove. Also this cup gave me the worst cramps in my entire life. It must've suctioned to my cervix or something. I do really like the instruction manual it comes with though. It is very detailed and helpful if you're a new cup user. Long story short I returned it since the cramps it gave me were unbearable.

Hi C and D Thomas,

Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with the large Venus Cup. We're happy to hear that capacity can give you more time between needing to be emptied. However, I'm sorry that you're having trouble removing it. The rounded base might be the culprit. It's one of the features that help make it a higher capacity cup without adding extra length. Although, in your situation, you probably would have welcomed that. Also, everyone will have a different experience with how a particular cup seals while wearing it or suctions during removal. I hope that you can work it out in the end (no pun intended - well, maybe a little).

Very heavy flow! This is the best cup I’ve ever used. The only one that has ever worked for me and doesn’t leak. It doesn’t feel like it opens all the way for me but I’m not sure cause it doesn’t leak.

Hi Jessica,

Thank you for sharing your experience with the large Venus Cup. We're happy to hear that you haven't had any leaks even if you feel like the cup is not opening all the way. If it's just a small dent in the body, there's no reason to worry. However, if there is a dent near the rim, you might want to wiggle the cup down a bit and then use a finger to push it back up. The cervix can get in the way of the rim sometimes.

Cheers to high capacity and no leaks!
Stay well.

The menstrual cup is sturdy and not flimsy which is great. I got it because I keep overflowing from my other cup. I tried to put in the cup but it was a bit painful and difficult (even after reading the booklet) so I will try again when my next cycle comes and be more relaxed. However one thing I noticed about the cup exterior is that its a dust magnet. Any fabric fuzzies gets glued on there due to the material of the cup's wall (rubbery) which is annoying and surprised they thought that this is okay. Not sure if thats normal for all cups because I have only used the Initimina Lily Cup which is great and doesnt have this issue. Other than that, super excited to see how this product works out even though the first try-out wasn't ideal!

Hi Jen,

I'm sorry that you didn't have success with the large Venus Cup right from the start. It is quite a different body shape than your current cup so it may take some time adjusting the insertion process. A bit of water-based lubricant may help ease the cup in until you're comfortable with it.
As for the fuzzies sticking to the silicone - the Venus Cup is made of medical-grade silicone in an FDA registered facility in the USA. We have all of our paperwork in order and are FDA compliant each step of the way.
Our bodies normally neutralize static electricity. Some times or days it's more or less than others (like when you have frizzy hair one day but not the next) and it can cause our cups to attract more lint, dust, or fuzz. However, I can't speak for cups made in China (like your current cup) as I don't know the quality of the silicone.
I hope that you can get the large Venus Cup to work for you. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly should you need any support. We'll try our best to help you have a successful experience.

Best wishes. Stay well.

I use the dive cup size 1 (smaller one) primarily. For the first night or two of my cycle, I used to have to get up once in the middle of the night to empty it, which is highly unpleasant when you're tired. During the day, I'd have to empytit every few hours. With this big cup, I only have to empty a few times during the day the first couple days. I empty it before bed, and it the morning. It completely solved my problem.It's a bit more difficult to get to open inside, so I just feel for my cervix and guide it into place. It was such a good purchase. The stem doesn't both me, so I didn't have to cut it at all.I only use it the first two day, then I use the diva cup because it's easier to get it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to go longer in between emptying.

Hi Anika,

I'm pleased to hear that the large Venus Cup has the capacity that you were hoping for and that it allows more time for rest and play. I am sorry that since it is softer than the Diva Cup, it made it a bit more difficult for you to get open but we're happy that you are still able to make it work.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the recommendation. We appreciate it.

I have tried multiple cups over many many years. I have never been able to get the hang of them until now. After using this one twice I have had no issues with position or leakage. I am a super heavy flow girl and the ones I used prior I was pretty much emptying constantly...like once an hour. Between them not setting right and not holding a whole lot it was just useless. I did some research and found this one seems to hold the most. I have to agree it does. I normally can go 6-8 hours on my HEAVIEST days. At night I still have some issues...I can go about the same amount of time which kind of sucks cause I usually wake up to leakage or I wake up cause I am nervous I will leak. I have recently started using it with period panties and they work well together. I am so happy I bought this.

Hi GeekyDia,

Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience while using the large Venus Cup. I'm happy to hear that you were able to get through the learning curve when other cups have not been as successful. I'm also happy to hear that it has the capacity that you were seeking.
I'm unclear about your leaking issues. Are you leaking every hour or after 6-8 hours? If you would like some one-on-one support, please don't hesitate to contact us directly. We're here to help.
Other than that, period underwear is a great addition for back-up.

Best wishes and stay well.
