Venus Menstrual Cup Size Large – High Capacity for Heavy Flow – Medium to High Cervix
$27.99
In Stock
The large-sized Venus Cup is perfect for those who have a heavier flow or those who experience clotting.
The large would also be easier to reach for those who have a medium to a high cervix, or a very high cervix.
You may prefer this size if you have a light to moderate flow for the extra capacity and wearing time up to 12 hours.
The large Venus Cup has a capacity of 38ml to the air holes and 47ml to the rim. This is about 30% more than the average large sized cup and is equal to approximately 9 regular absorbency tampons.
Larger cups sometimes lose their firmness near the rim and can be difficult to open. We have included an invisible secondary rim in which the silicone is slightly thicker near the air holes, as well as an inner ring for reinforcement. Both of these features will aid in helping the cup to open after the fold is released.
Everything Needed for a Happy Period! With the purchase of the large Venus Cup, you will receive a cotton canvas storage pouch and a detailed user’s manual packed with information and illustrations – all safely packaged in a Venus Box.
The Venus Cup collects the menstrual flow instead of absorbing without interfering with the body’s pH balance or natural processes. The Venus Cup is made of 100% Medical Grade Silicone and uses Medical Grade Colorants. The Venus Cup is manufactured in the USA and in an FDA registered facility. It should be! If you have any discomfort with it at any time, you may need to try different folding techniques, using a water-based personal lubricant, or changing the size. The Venus Cup is great for a light flow, heavy flow, very heavy flow, when you’re expecting your period but not bleeding yet, or even just to stay dry from discharge! The Venus Cup won’t have the familiar odor as a rotting disposable tampon or pad. Depending on your body and blood, the Venus Cup may periodically have an odor more like the smell of “iron”. This can be resolved – check this article for more info. Like with all menstrual cups, there is a chance of leaking. This is a very common problem among new users. It may take time and practice getting things just right, but there are some things that can be done to minimize this from happening – click here for more info! Everything under the moon and sun! The Venus Cup will allow you the freedom to carry on with your daily activities whether it be school, work, sports, or sleeping!

Thank you for sharing your feedback while trying the Venus Cup. We’re sorry to hear that the large felt too big and that you experienced it sliding down. You can try turning it inside out if you feel confident that you can remove it without a stem. It is safe to use this way and will give you an idea if a smaller, shorter, and narrower cup would be more suitable for your anatomy.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly if you would like one on one support. We’re here and happy to help.
Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team
If you choose to try the large again in the future, try squatting down while inserting and removing the cup. It will help bring it closer to the vaginal opening and give you an easier reach.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly should you need one on one support. We’re here to help.
Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team
If possible, we suggest letting your cup air dry near a sunny window. The odor, as well as stains, should fade.
Please contact us directly if you have any further issues. We would be happy to troubleshoot with you.

The Venus Cup Team
If you decide to try it again, below are some tips that might help:
Proper placement during insertion -
In a squatting position, aim the folded cup down and back towards your tailbone. The cervix isn't normally located straight up into the vaginal canal. Inserting it as such can result in a cup that won't open completely, leaking, shifting or rotating, and/or discomfort and pressure. It may also prohibit the cup from opening.
No dents -
After the cup is inserted, insert a finger and feel around the rim or as high up on the cup as you can for any dents. If you feel a dent, wiggle the cup down and then use a finger to push it back up into place. Often, when a cup (any cup) is inserted completely, the cervix gets in the way of allowing the rim to fully expand. Wiggling or rocking the cup down will let your cervix correct itself.
Alternatively, you can insert the cup halfway and then let it open before using a finger to push it into place.
Either way will help the cup open before being positioned directly under or around the cervix.
Feels too soft -
Insert the cup and then insert a single finger next to the cup’s body and press it into the vaginal wall. Wider cups or cups with a rounded base may need room to expand. Let the cup slowly open against your finger.
I hope that one of these tips results in a successful experience. Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you need further support.
Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team
Inserting:
-Squatting down while inserting the cup will put your cervix closer to the vaginal opening and give you easier reach. It will also help you angle the cup correctly down and back towards your tailbone.
Use and leaking:
-The cervix isn't normally located straight up into the vaginal canal. Inserting it as such can result in a cup that won't open completely, leaking, shifting or rotating, and/or discomfort and pressure.
-After the cup is inserted, insert a finger and feel around the rim or as high up on the cup as you can for any dents. If you feel a dent, wiggle the cup down and then use a finger to push it back up into place. Often, when a cup (any cup) is inserted completely, the cervix gets in the way of allowing the rim to fully expand. Wiggling or rocking the cup down will let your cervix correct itself.
Alternatively, you can insert the cup halfway and then let it open before using a finger to push it into place.
Either way will help the cup open before being positioned directly under or around the cervix.
-Use a wet pH balance wipe or damn cloth to clean any excess blood off of the stem and/or cup base. Excess blood can cause spotting which often makes users think that they are leaking from the cup itself.
Removal:
-Squatting in a tub or shower will help bring the cervix and cup closer to the vaginal opening and give you easier access. It will also allow you to reach the base of the cup to pinch and release the seal. Cleaning up is simple if there are any overflows or spills.
I hope these tips help. Please feel free to contact us directly for one on one support. We’re always here for you.

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.

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'm sorry to hear that the large Venus Cup wasn't a perfect fit for you. Although our feedback from high cervix users was mostly positive, menstrual cups are not a one size fits all product and we understand that it's not going to get the right cup for everyone.
Thank you for sharing some benefits of the cup even if it wasn't your Goldilocks. We hope that you find something that is comfortable AND has the length you need for your high cervix even if it's not the Venus Cup.
Best wishes. Stay well.

Again, I’m sorry that the Venus Cup didn’t work out for you but we’re confident that you will find something that suits your needs.

I'm sorry to hear that you found the large Venus Cup rim too soft. We tried to keep it a medium firmness by including an inner ring to help the rim open. Unfortunately, it still isn't the firmness you hoped for.
If you ever feel like giving the Venus Cup a try again, there are some helpful tips in the user manual that might help troubleshoot getting the rim to open.
I'll include a couple here:
Insert the cup halfway, allow it to open, and then use a finger to push it into place.
Insert the cup halfway, press it to the vaginal wall and let it expand. Then use a finger to push it into place.
Often when a softer cup is inserted all the way, the cervix will block the rim from opening. Allowing the cup to open lower in the vaginal canal may avoid this.
We are also always available for support.
Otherwise, I hope that you find the perfect cup for your periods even if it isn't the Venus Cup.
Best Wishes!

I'm sorry to hear that the large Venus Cup looked too big for your liking. The small Venus Cup might be a better option. Although it is labeled as a small cup, it still holds 29ml which is a milliliter shy of what the average large-size menstrual cup holds. We have reached out to you with some options. Please feel free to contact us directly should you have any questions.
Best of Luck,

I'm happy to hear that the large Venus Cup had the capacity that you were looking for, but sad that it was too soft to perform as it needed for you.
If you don't mind giving it another try, here are a few tips that might help:
-Run the cup under cold water to firm up the silicone.
-Allow the cup to open while it's half-way inserted.
-Insert the cup, release, and then wiggle the cup downward a bit.
If a cup is inserted all the way, sometimes the cervix blocks the rim from opening as it needs to. A very firm cup may push the cervix out of the way, which can be painful, but a softer cup may need some help.
Again, I'm sorry that the Venus Cup didn't work for you right out of the box. I hope these tips help or that you find another cup that does work for you even if it isn't the Venus Cup.
Please feel free to contact us directly should you need further support.

Thank you for sharing your experience with using the Venus Cup. We're happy to hear that you had an easy process of learning to use it and that it was comfortable. However, we're sorry to hear that you also experienced some extra pressure that may have contributed to UTIs.
Of course, all cups will apply some extra pressure but not all of them will be firm enough to contribute to UTIs. Unfortunately, the large Venus Cup may just be a bit too firm or wide for you.
If you are comfortable removing the Venus Cup without the stem, you can try turning the cup inside out. This will both slightly lessen the firmness and make the cup narrower. Both of which will help with the pressure. The Venus Cup is safe to use this way if you choose to.
We not only want you to have success with using a cup, but we also want you to be able to use one without any health issues as well, even if it isn't the Venus Cup.
Please feel free to contact us directly should you need any further support.

I'm sorry to hear that the large Venus Cup was too soft for you. Within our study group, a good portion of the testers experienced some extra pressure from the Diva Cups rim. Our design reflected that by thinning out the secondary rim and adding an inner ring instead. Although the firmness is not drastically different, we're sorry to hear that the change did not work out for you.
If you are willing to try the Venus Cup again, check the user manual or our website for some tips on troubleshooting softer cups. Something might be helpful within them.
You are also welcome to contact us directly for one on one support or some extra tips and tricks.
Even if the Venus Cup does not work out for you in the end, we're happy to hear that you still have reliable menstrual protection with the Diva Cup.

If you’re experiencing pain during removal, collapse the body slightly as the rim nears the entrance to the vagina. It may be rubbing against the urethra on its way out.

In the end, if the Venus Cup is still not right for you, we hope that you find another cup that meets your needs even if it isn’t our cup.
