Hi Eunbyoel Kim,
Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your experience and feedback while using the large Venus Cup. We’re happy to hear that overall it was comfortable to use and had a large capacity for your flow.
However, we’re sorry that you found it sometimes difficult to unfold and that the stem was too soft.
There are some helpful tips in the user manual, as well as Troubleshooting - Venus Menstrual Cup, but this might help also:
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.
Alternatively, you can insert the cup halfway, let it open, and then use a finger to push it into place.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly should you need support. We’re here to help :)

Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team

Hi Michelle,
I’m sorry to hear that your experience with the large Venus Cup was not a pleasant one. Although we tried to keep the firmness to a medium compared to other cups, there is always going to be individuals who find the Venus Cup either too soft or too firm. We’re just sorry that you were one of them. Luckily, you were able to switch to a different brand. We hope that it works well for you even though it isn’t 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!

Hi Jessica,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience while using the large Venus Cup. We're pleased that it has been easy and comfortable but we're sorry to hear that you still experience some leaking when your period is at its heaviest. Sometimes, even the highest capacity cups can't compare to an extremely heavy flow, but we hope that you'll find relief over time.

Hi XLLB,

Thank you for taking a moment to share that the large Venus Cup has been working well. We’re happy to hear that it has been easy to remove and holds you overnight.
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.

Hi GGoneau,

We’re happy that the large Venus Cup gave you the comfort and seal that you were looking for in a menstrual cup. Please remember to release any suction that the cup creates before removing it or it could cause some discomfort. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us directly.

Hi Kerry-Ann,

Thank you for sharing your experience while using the large Venus Cup. I’m happy to hear that it was easy to use and that it was able to withstand your heavy flow days.
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 have used a cup before, so I know how to use. I had leaking the first time I used it, but decided to try again. This time I read the booklet and realized it may not have been high enough. 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

Reply from Venus Cup Team:
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,

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.

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience while using the large Venus Cup. Especially compared to a well-known brand. I'm sorry to hear that you had some issues in the past with a stem breaking off of a cup. We added an extra bead of silicone at the cups' stress point to avoid this from happening with our cup.
I am pleased to hear that the Venus Cup is easier and more comfortable for you with your extremely heavy periods. Thank you for the recommendation and please contact us directly should you ever need support.

Best wishes. Stay well.

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.
Thank you for sharing your experience while using the large Venus Cup. Please don't hesitate to contact us at any time should you need one on one support.

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 Tanya,

Thank you for sharing your positive experience while using the large Venus Cup. I'm happy to hear that it has the capacity that you need and that you were able to work through the insertion and removal process fairly easily. It should become even easier with time and practice. If you find yourself needing some support, don't hesitate to contact us directly. We're always here to help!
Also, thank you for pointing out that our user manual includes some information on learning when to empty the cup. It's a great question that is often overlooked when learning how to use a cup.
We hope that the Venus Cup provides you with comfortable, mess & leak-free protection for years to come.

Cheers & stay well.

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.

Best wishes. Stay well.

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.

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).

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!
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
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.

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.

The suction is very good and this is a great high-capacity cup, but the biggest problem I had with this cup is that the stem is rounded and smoothed and absolutely impossible to grip. It's worse than useless. If you are the sort of person that cuts off the stem this should not be a problem and this may be the cup for you. However, if you have a high cervix or have had issues in the past with cups making cramping worse, I would not recommend this cup.Overall, this cup has the perfect firmness level for a good ballance between comfort and ease of use and I love the color! It's dark enough to hide stains without being an ugly color. Plus I love purple! But I cannot give the cup more than 3 stars because it's the closest I've ever come to getting a cup stuck and the stem needs a complete redesign.

Hi Rebecca,

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.

A few years ago I decided to try switching from tampons to a cup. It seemed like a better more natural choice financially and environmentally. I started off with another brand, as I was new to this and it had pretty good reviews. Since then I’ve tried a few different brands because I couldn’t seem to find one that was easy to insert without staying all crumpled up and leaking, East to remove without having a larger uncomfortable tab to pull and one that could handle my extremely heavy periods. I was emptying the cup literally every 40-45 minutes if I was lucky. I decided to try the Venus heavy flow cup with not very high expectations, as the other cups were meant for a heavy flow as well. I am truly impressed with its performance. I’ve read good reviews about the other brands I’ve tried but they never exceeded my expectations. The Venus cup is absolutely the best cup out there. And I’ve tried almost all of them looking for the perfect one for me. I’m in my mid 40’s and my monthly cycle is extremely heavy. This cup let’s me go at least an hour before emptying it. No leaks, it sits up in there nice and tight and is not uncomfortable. I have no issues inserting it or removing it. It holds a good amount of fluid and honestly it’s budget friendly too. This is one cup I would definitely recommend to anyone who has a heavy cycle or a short cervix such as myself. I think my search is over. I’ve found a good quality menstrual cup.

Hi Dawnmarie,

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience while using the large Venus Cup. I'm happy to hear that it was easy to use and comfortable to wear. Although, I am sorry to hear that it still doesn't provide you with hours of protection, not just AN hour. I understand the struggle of heavy periods. That's why we designed the Venus Cup to be high capacity. However, your period sounds extremely heavy. I might suggest asking your physician if there's a homeopathic supplement (or tea) to help with heavy bleeding.
Also, because of the length of the large, most users think that it won't be comfortable. Mentioning that you have a short cervix is a testament that some individuals with a low cervix can still use it without issue.

Cheers to eco & budget-friendly period protection!

I really like this cup and I’d recommend it to anyone who has a heavier flow and needs something firm. It isn’t so firm that it’s uncomfortable, but firm enough that it pops open easily, which is especially helpful if you’re new to using cups. If you have a high cervix this is perfect because of its size it’s easier to reach than most cups. The only problem that I’ve had with it is how difficult it can be to get out sometimes when it gets so slippery because the surface is so smooth with nothing to grip. I’d definitely still recommend it though.

An affordable high-capacity cup...Yes! Or maybe not? The first time that I used this cup it popped open easily, shimmied its way up to my high cervix, and stayed there while I slept. In the morning I was excited to remove my cup, and see all that it had collected. I found that the stem is not too stretchy, and can be a bit slippery. If you cup can move like mine usually does, the cup had pushed the stem against my vaginal wall. It was had for me to grab without pinching or poking myself. Finally, I found the bottom of the cup. I decided to give it a squeeze to break the seal. The seal would not break, and the cup had the greatest suction on the bottom of my cervix. It had a grasp that was unrelenting. I hand to get my fingers midway of the cup to squeeze and break the suction. Not fun! The best part: My blood was to the suction holes of the cup after getting 6hrs of rest on day one. This is while my period was light. I had just started that night. No leaks! I have leaked with more expensive cups. Sooo...I did not use the cup again until the next cycle. I knew what I had to do to remove it. Opening had not been a problem, so I knew that I had this. WRONG! I could not get this cup to open properly. I thought that it had opened when it hadn't. Lesson learned. Don't let anyone rush you when you are putting in a new or kind of new cup. One gush 5 minutes after I thought wrong, my thin period panties were covered. Try number 3 and 4 went okay. There was some stamping even after wiping with two wipes. During a heavy flow I can get 5 hours on a good run. I have decided that this is not the cup for me. I have to think way too much when inserting and removing. Plus, I am constantly worried about stamping and leaking. What I do know, it that it has worked sleeping 6 hours without a leak is great for me. Even on a lighter day. Trying g a new cup with an issue of stamping is normal for an extremely heavy bleeder like me. This cup will be great for someone that is not like me. It is worth a try.

Hello StacieDAE,

I'm sorry that your experience with the large Venus Cup was not 100% perfect. It sounds like it was able to hold your flow, but inserting and removing it should not be this difficult when a cup is right for you.
If you're willing to give it another try, here are some tips that will hopefully help:

Inserting:
- Make sure to aim the folded cup down and back towards your tailbone (while squatting on the ground or in the tub). This will help your cup be in the best possible position just under or around your cervix. When it creates a slight seal, it should not move around.
- If the cup doesn't want to expand, rock the cup down a bit before pushing it back into place. Often when a cup is inserted all the way, the cervix will block the rim from opening completely.

Removing:
- If you're having difficulties reaching the cup, squat and bear down with your muscles (doing this in the tub will make for easy clean-up). This will push the cup down so that you can reach the stem or base a little easier.
- If you're stamping or having some spotting, squat down after inserting the cup and wipe the stem and base of any excess blood.

You mentioned that this is a new or kind of new cup for you. Please understand that there may be a learning curve until you are comfortable with using it even if you've used other cups before.
Since the Venus Cup can hold you over for a good amount of time without a leak, we hope that in the end you won't have to think about how to insert or remove it.

Please don't hesitate to contact us directly should you need one on one support. We're always here for you.

Otherwise, thank you for giving the Venus Cup a try. Again, we're sorry that it wasn't the right cup for you but appreciate that you understand that a single cup isn't for every user.

Best Wishes. Stay well.

Bought this as a second cup bc my favorite cup (voxapod) just wasn't cutting it on my heaviest days. This is much larger than the cup I'm used to, so it took a bit for me to get used to (I have to use a different fold). Now that I have it figured out, I absolutely love it for my heavy days (I don't have to empty my cup 1/hr anymore!)

Hi Christina,

Thank you for taking a chance on the large Venus Cup even though you already had a great cup. Since the Venus Cup is quite different from the Voxapod, we understand that there might be some adjustments to be made in how it's folded. We're happy to hear that you were able to work it out and that it has the capacity that you were hoping for.

Cheers to leak & worry-free periods!
Stay Well,

The large sized cup is a game changer for me! I have extremely heavy flows on day 2 and tampons and pads weren’t working anymore. I tried another brand of menstrual cup sized small and large, and they worked well, but the large still wouldn’t last during the night sometimes. I did some research on sizes and the Venus cup offers ones of more affordable, large sized cups so I decided to try it. I am so glad because I can worry less about accidents. It’s the same length as other cups but just has a wider base and slightly larger diameter. It does take a bit more practice to insert it than the smaller sized cups; I figured out that I need to hold it folded longer while inserting. I don’t feel it and it stays in place.

I’m 30 and this is my first time using a cup. I’ve been using tampons since I was 14 and I will never go back to them. Like I said this is my first time using a cup so I can’t compare these to others, but the experience was great. It was pretty easy to use. I watched ALOT of YouTube videos before I even ordered just to make sure I got a good idea on how to use it. I got it on my first try and I was able to wear it over 9 hours without even filling it up half way! On my heaviest day! What!? It will change your entire period experience.The cup itself is kind of firm even after boiling it but definitely not uncomfortable at all. You can’t even feel it. Definitely do your research on cups and how to use so you have a good understanding of it. Just try it, you will not regret it.
