Venus Menstrual Cup Size Large – High Capacity for Heavy Flow – Medium to High Cervix

Alright, I know that headline was cheesy, but I'm serious. It took me a minute to get used to it and figure out what was right and what I needed to do. In the beginning, I was so sure that I was a small because of how tiny I am, but I had to get a large because I noticed that my moves around while it's up there and that's not comfortable. So if you just starting out, get the starter pack and do not assume. It will save you money if you turn out like me. After I felt comfortable using it, my periods were so much simpler. The other night I almost forgot to take it out to clean it and re-insert it but I didn't have to because my period ended. Anyways, I'm never using a tampon again. I might keep using pads at night even though I don't have to because my cup would be fine. I could change it every 10 hours and even push it longer if need be and I wouldn't leak. I don't thin it' like that for everyone that's just my flow. So, when I say that, don't assume it will be the same for you. Just wear it and figure that out for yourself.

Took me a bit to get it but happy I stayed with it! Feels so much better than a tampon, I have discovered I have a very low lady bits which makes these cups slightly harder to use, yet if you get your timing right there no accidental leaks plus more comfortable. These are a good entry cup definitely not the final stop.

I finally decided to take the plunge after hearing more than one friend talk about how amazing their menstrual cups were. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm a believer. The Venus cup is comfortable and easy to use. Insertion and removal took a bit of practice but wasn't as difficult as I'd anticipated. Five stars!

This is my Goldilocks cup. I tried another brand for a year and had leaks every cycle. I almost gave up on cups when someone suggested this one. The longer length and higher capacity are perfect for my exceptionally heavy days and large clots. I was a little concerned that with the bigger capacity I would have trouble with bladder pressure but it’s actually better than with my previous cup. I finally think I may be able to stop wearing pads in combination! I am SO happy with this cup.

One of the best decisions I've made for myself. It's comfortable and easy to use. For me it was less messy than tampons or pads. Full directions to use and a link for questions and concerns. Would not suggest emptying in a public restroom unless it's a single.

I love it! This is my second cycle using a menstrual cup. For reference, I’m 27, had 2 kids by c section, and I have a heavy flow that usually lasts 3 days and requires use of thick pads, super-only tampons, and period panties at the same time. The cup advertisements always say that periods don’t product much volume, but lies! In hindsight after using a cup, I realize now that I seem to have quite a heavy flow. I always wondered why my friend only owns teeny tampons and panty liners... anyways!I purchased a duchess pair of cups because they were cheap, admittedly. I liked the silicone, it agrees with my pH and balance MUCH more than pads and tampons. However, with the 15mL capacity of those, I had to empty them out every 2-4 hours. I could not sleep the night without leaking.I paid the price for the Venus because I saw that the large carried 30mL. The body is more firm, so the popping open is much easier. My cervix is relatively high, so the longer body of the cup fits much nicer, I notice less leakage. I’m still working on the placement and I feel it’ll be leak free. The handle is much easier to grab. I can actually only need to empty it every 6-8 hours! The times I’ve emptied, it was about 25mL. The quality of the silicone is nicer. It feels silky smooth compared to the duchess. Since using them both for the exact same amount of time, the venus has a nicer material that doesn’t get splotchy. It stays silky looking.” I like the bell shape because it has more side surface area and seems to protect against leaks.

The Venus Large is my hands down new favorite! If you are looking for a medium firm, high capacity cup, look no further! I am a long time cup user, I have a couple other high capacity cups. The Venus cup blows them out of the water. I added a picture of what comes in the box. The second photo is a side by side with my previous fav cup, the Yuuki Soft large. Comparing the Venus to the Yuuki, the Venus is about the same firmness (maybe slightly firmer), which is quite firm - about 3.5 out of 5. The silicone is very silky to the touch. It popped open easily & I had no problems getting a good seal. On the heaviest days of my cycle, I would get about 8 hours wear time with my Yuuki. I actually made it the full 12 hours with the Venus. I just can't say enough good things!

I did substantial research before deciding to purchase this cup. I'm not new to using a cup. I have a very heavy flow so I was super excited to find a cup with such a large capacity. The small cup was comfortable right after insertion; even without trimming the stem. It was like not having anything, but it did slide down a bit after wearing it for a little while. No matter how many times I reinserted it. When my flow got heavier, I switched to the larger size. Getting it in was fine, but after standing up and walking around a bit...it was just so uncomfortable and painful. I tried reinserting it in different positions hoping not would help, but it just made it worse to the point where it was unbearable and I HAD to remove it. It also made my cramps a little worse. It's a quality product, for sure. Maybe this one just isn't meant for my body type. I don't think the 'bell' shape works for me. I'm not disappointed in the product at all. Just kinda bummed it didn't work out. If I could just wear the small one, that would be great. But unfortunately, I'd be in the restroom every 2 hours. Lol.

I really like the quality of Venus cup, however, for me, it's a little bit too soft for my cervical muscle. I can only use it during non-heavy flow. Otherwise, it spills. Compare to other menstrual cup, venus cup has is very soft and comfortable!

Aunque pienso que la experiencia con la copa es algo muy individual, debo decir que en términos de la calidad de la copa le doy un 100%. Es de una calidad increible, es la primera copa que uso así que no podría compararla con ninguna otra. Lo que si puedo decirles es q estoy muy satisfecha y no pienso cambiarla! Tengo 29 años, flujo medio, nunca he tenido niños y la size S me funciona de maravilla!

What a delightful surprise to discover how much the technology has improved in the 10ish years since I had to buy a cup. They come in SIZES now! With grippy bits! I spent the last decade being slightly in pain on the first and last day of my period, or just using tampons, because the old DivaCup was too big. Now for about the same price as I paid for that one back in the day, I got this two-pack of better quality cups that let me switch out the size as needed. WIN.

great product!!! the small size is pretty small . But I like this cup more than my EVA it works wonderfully ladies this is a game changer. takes a little to get used to but its nice (tmi) not having to worry every few hours or if you pee a lot to change a tampon all the time. let alone spending hard earned $$$ every month on products this one cup will have you set for years to come!! never going to back. Its also healthier and I have just about 0 cramps!!

Maybe it's just not for my body. It's a good size and it's softer than my diva cup. But I think because it's soft it doesn't maintain the cup structure inside my body. The diva cup is stiff and I feel it but it unfolds easily and maintains the cup structure so it actually gets the job done.

The comfort of this product is amazing! I have always used pass or tampons but from now on I'm using this product. The instructions where easy to read and follow. No leaks so far. Glad I got the starter kit because I measured myself for a large and small fits better at least today. Loving this product would definitely recommend to all of us that have periods.

I've been using cups for nearly a decade now, and I like to try new brands as there's been a lot of change in product offerings over the years. I work 14-16 hour days, and my commute is sometimes 2-3 hours long. I don't always have access to a bathroom, and even if I do, I don't always want to look like I've been in surgery for hours (sorry to be gross, but that's the truth) and then having to wash & disinfect my hands like crazy several times a day at work or on the run. The only cup that was worthwhile for heavy bleeding was Super Jennie but the stem drives me nuts, so I was looking for a replacement.I saw the Venus and thought I'd give it a try. I was quite skeptical - many brands say "for heavy bleeding" and yeah, they don't last more than a few hours. This blew away my expectations. I was astounded how I was able to get through most of the day without having to switch it out. The suction is really remarkable (albeit, this could scare off beginners, I get it!) and the fit is phenomenal. I just wish it came in more than one colour (note to manufacturer: MORE COLOURS!)The only caveat is: the large cup is probably NOT ideal for beginners/someone new to cups. Start with the small cup, get used to working with that, then move to the larger cup.

I honestly loved the Large Venus Cup, for my heaviest days. I definitely had to practice with it before my period, to find the right fold and tricks to help it open. Once I figured it out, I found it to be comfortable with no leaks, and it was so much easier to reach and break the seal to take out. I do have a slightly slower urine stream at times, but I usually just have to give a little adjustment and then it is all fine. I highly recommend for those with a higher cervix and who need a higher capacity cup.

My cramps kill me with every cycle. Switching to this cup has made a WORLD of difference for me. I presume it's because there isn't a cotton wad (tampon) in there drying everything out anymore. If you suffer from cramps during menstruation, I HIGHLY recommend switching to a cup like this. It's comfortable, and I only have to rinse/think about it before I go to bed, and when I wake up in the morning. It's amazing! I'm a light-medium bleeder, and I've never had kids. No leaks, and both cup sizes fit fine for me. It's also kind of nice that the cups have little measurement markers on them so you can ACTUALLY SEE just how much you're bleeding (great for tracking, Dr's, etc). 10/10, would recommend this product to anybody. Super easy to use.

I know this might be TMI, but here we go. The cup works great. I used the small and gave the large to my mother. I've used it for two times. It doesn't leak, and it's not messy like I thought it would be. It's extremely convenient more than tampons. If Im out I just rinse it with water and put it back in. At first I had some issues with inserting it, I'm not sure if its because i've never inserted something larger than a tampon before in my life haha. It hurt a little at first, but with more practice it goes in easily. It hurt because my skin on the outside of my vagina like this little piece of skin idk what its called but now it doesn't. So if you're a virgin or scared of it might hurting you, you don't need to worry just use the small! Once the cup is inside, I almost forget about it. It doesn't hurt me, it doesn't leak, and I've gone worked out and have gone swimming while wearing it. It's great I HIGHLY recommend it! The package it came in was completely sealed.

I will never go back to any other form of menstrual protection. It's a little hard to get used to inserting but once you do, it's comfortable, and you don't have to think about. Set it and forget it....for 12 hours. It's awesome and you save so much money.

Well I have trusted Venus with my shaving needs for decades, so I was relieved to see this familiar brand in an absolute SEA of menstrual cups!The cups fit as comfortanly as a tampon. Glad the package came with TWO so I could test both sizes to see which worked best.The guide book that came with it was an absolute gem! Really helped me make this transition!Stem is not irritating. Think I'd prefer a ring bur I can live with this.

The is my second menstrual cap and it’s much more comfortable than the one i bought at my local drugstore. The only issue is it doesn’t open right up after insertion which can cause a mess. I have felt it open after it was in 30 minutes.

I don't want to create excess waste so I picked this after reading many reviews. I'm 26 and haven't had kids but the large one was so painful I couldn't even keep it in for more than 5 seconds each time... I don't see how anyone uses these without some type of lubricant. I've tried the small one many ways and it just won't open up all the way so it won't create a proper seal and it leaks. It also irritates because the rubbery material is thick and keeps rubbing on my skin and has left a raw "rug burn" from going in an out... I also have a hard time grabbing and pulling the wand and had it tear off... The silicone is very sturdy but just too thick for me. I'm going to have to try a different method

I love this cup! I had a Diva Cup before the Venus Cup and it would not last me on my heaviest days. However, this cup lasted me nearly 12 hours on my heaviest day. The comfortability is 4/5 stars for me because at times I could feel it when I sat down but, I guess just takes some getting used to. Overall this is the best menstrual product I've ever used and would highly recommend

This was the 2nd menstrual cup I tried. I have a high cervix so initially I bought the Lily cup, but I didn't like the poking firm stem or the fact that it didn't have air holes making breaking the seal complicated and painful. The Venus cup changed all this. I've only used the small cup so far. Its stem is long and flexible making it easy to find and providing a good grip. Breaking the seal was easily achieved every time just by pinching the bottom of the cup. This made removing the cup fast and less stressful. I use a dab of lubricant to facilitate insertion and as soon as I pass the pelvic bone the cup always fully opens. No leaks for 12 hrs even on high flow days. Very comfortable. I can't feel it once in place. That means I can completely forget about my period for 12 hrs. Wish I had heard about menstrual cups sooner. Don't think I will try the large cup included in the set since the small one works so well for me.

It definitely does what it's supposed to do. I had one issue where I had the bigger cup inside of me for the heavier flow and for some reason, I don't know if it was because of how I was sitting or what, I started to leak pretty heavily over the cup even though it had been staying secure for a few hours. But as far as the product goes, I am definitely satisfied with it and will keep using it for as long as I can. Sometimes it's a little uncomfortable trying to remove it, but it's okay

Cups will fit different for everyone. This is the second cup I've owned. I bought this in large bc my periods are so heavy. I just got my period back after my baby was around 10 months old. My first cycle with it the cup seemed to sit very low. I cut all of the stem off. My second cycle was more comfortable.

I like this product because it's a great starter kit if your on the fence or this is your first purchase of a menstrual cup. This kit gives you an option of a large and small cup to see which mite be the better fit. Easy to use and easy to follow instructions. Great product I would recommend and purchase again.

I switched to cups last year but I have heavy cycles and the first few days I still had leaks. After I bought this cup I don't have that issue anymore. great!!

This is the 4th menstrual cup I’ve tried. I was looking for a cup with enough capacity that I could wear it all night and not leak. This is it! Right away, I was impressed by the little instruction booklet that came with it. The cup opened very easily, and it is so comfortable to wear — I can’t event feel it! I can wear it overnight without a mad morning shuffle to the bathroom because my cup is overflowing. On lighter days, I easily get the 12 hour wear time. So happy I found this cup!

This is my second cycle using these cups and I really like them! I bought the combo pack as I’m new to menstrual cups and wasn’t sure what size I’d need. I’ve been using the small more as I seem to have a lower cervix. Because of this I had to trim the stem completely off so that it wouldn’t poke me. It’s been very comfortable and while I can feel some light “pressure” while wearing it’s nothing too uncomfortable. It’s honestly the same sensation I get when using a super tampon.I do hope they come out with a version for shorter cervix, but I’ll keep using this till they do!I don’t think I will ever go back to tampons unless I get a surprise visit and have nothing else available.

Iam from India and bought this cup through my my relative as Iam a heavy bleeder I choose this cup for its holding capacity and Iam a cup user for past 2yrs so Iam familer with almost all folds but this cup it's very difficult to insert and check for seal...usually I twist 360 degree to check the seal but when twisting in this cup it's paining and burning like hell and no fold it comfortable for me yet though the suction is good but removal is another hell...the holding capacity is high but what's the use in that without giving comfort?????will try this for 2-3 cycles if not good I need to throw it only.... feeling disappointed

I like that there are two different sized cups in this set. The instructions helped to learn the process since I had zero experience with menstrual cups until this purchase.

I have a really heavy menstrual flow the first few days of my period (my mother said she did too, guess it's a genetic thing). Tampons are pretty much useless with heavy flow, wearing an overnight pad during the day is ridiculously bulky and uncomfortable. Menstrual cups can hold a lot between changes, so I decided to give them a go.I've tried the DivaCup that I found at the local drugstore, but then I saw this Venus Cup that can hold more. The DivaCup has more of a V shape, whereas the Venus Cup is more of a U shape, which gives the Venus Cup more capacity. I thought it might feel uncomfortable with the U shape, but it's not, it sits up high enough where you don't know it's there and it's got a nice soft silicone material. It definitely suctions in place to prevent any leaks. I got the Venus Cup Starter Kit so I could try both sizes, but so far I've just used the larger size and it's worked fine.The cups come with nice canvas-type bags to store them in, and I received a booklet that has detailed instructions, FAQ and even troubleshooting tips. That's super awesome for a first-timer--honestly, after looking through the booklet, you'll pretty much be an expert on menstrual cups--it's that amazingly useful.Since I've used a menstrual cup before, I personally didn't even need the instructions-- just opened the box, rinsed off the cup, and popped it in no problem--but again, I'd used a menstrual cup before. The first time I'd ever tried using a menstrual cup was a different story!The main things I need from a menstrual cup are large holding capacity with no leaks and that the cup is comfortable. I also want the cup to last a long time so that it pays for itself with the money I don't spend on pads or tampons. This is made from high-quality silicone that can stand up to boiling, so I get the feeling it's going to last a long time (booklet says it could last 10 or more years). Also, the Venus Cup material has a purple color that stays true, unlike the clear DivaCup that starts turning yellow after one or two uses.What else can I add? Oh, the shipping was very fast, I received it 2 days after ordering (on a Saturday) even though I don't have Amazon Prime.It works for me and is comfortable, so I can highly recommend the Venus Cup if you are searching for a menstrual cup to buy.

I had a Diva cup for years, and when I needed a new one I decided to try something different. I was so used to the Diva cup, there has been a little bit of a learning curve with this one, but I do think, now that I'm getting it, I prefer this.

After trying a few drugstore brands with limited success and more than a little discomfort, I decided to upgrade to the Venus since it's supposed to last for up to 10 years. So far, it has exceeded my expectations and I doubt that I'll ever go back to disposable products.Let's start with the packaging, which isn't all that important in the big scheme of things, but I went "Oooh!" when I opened my envelope from Amazon because the box is actually pretty! I got a little excited because package quality often kind of gives a preview of what's inside and after trying so many cups with mixed results I really wanted to like this one. Anyway, the pretty purple box is a bit bigger than I thought it would be. In fact, I was kind of worried that the cup would be too large. But inside the box is a nice user guide, along with a storage bag for the cup. The storage bag is a nice touch and it was a surprise since I didn't notice it mentioned in the product description. The cup itself doesn't take up a lot of space inside the box.On to the Venus cup itself:Feel - The cup is made with soft silicone, but it doesn't feel at all floppy if that makes sense. At the same time, it is very easy to fold using a few different techniques outlined in the instructions so you can keep a grip on it and prevent it from opening too soon. Also, I use a little bit of KY just on the cup's rim to help it slide all the way up and around the cervix. The rim is firm enough to pop fully open. You can kind of feel how it snaps into place once you release your grip on it. So, I didn't have any trouble getting the Venus into position on the first try, but I'm not new to menstrual cups. It's nice that the guide includes some troubleshooting tips, I'm sure I'm not the only one who had to practice a few times when first learning how to use a menstrual cup!The Venus cup has measurements on the inside instead of the outside, and there are no rough edges anywhere. I am not experiencing any discomfort or irritation even though the cup fits firmly in place. I got the small size and I'm not feeling any pressure on my bladder, which was an issue with another brand I tried.I've just been going about my business as usual, and I'm not noticing any problems with this cup. For example, I'm not feeling any shifting when I laugh or sneeze, and it stayed in place while I was at the gym.Leaks - Leaking has not been an issue but I am still going to wear period panties for a backup in case I have an overflow or if I tuck it in incorrectly in the future.Removal - It is really easy to get this cup out thanks to the stem. You do have to give a little tug to break the seal between the ring and your anatomy, and I've had to give a bit of a push with my pelvic muscles as well. This is really no problem, way easy and far cleaner than some others. I have tried the "flat fit" menstrual cups before and had a really hard time getting them out, plus they were really messy in comparison with this one. The stem and the rest of the cup's structure do a good job of keeping "Aunt Flo" contained during the removal process. You don't have to dig around to find it, and you don't end up with a "crime scene" all over the toilet. Emptying is easy too.Capacity - As for capacity, I read that you can keep this cup in place for 12 hours but I haven't left it in that long. I did leave it in overnight (about 9 hours) and it still had room when I removed it.All things considered, I'm very happy with this cup and I really hope it lasts the full 10 years. Venus did a great job with the design, thanks!
