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.

I have a heavy flow which isn't fun. Super plus tampons would last 30 minutes on my heavy days, ultra not much longer. I needed something different, I needed my freedom back on my heavy days. I had tried a competitor's cup but the capacity was far too little, causing leaks quickly. I was glad I found this cup because I can leave my house and not worry a bit where the nearest bathroom is wherever I go. It's a great cup from a great company, they even email you directly to see if they can help you with any issues.

In the picture I have a pink saalt, purple Venus, and clear diva cup for comparison. I have worn cups for years and my cervix is slightly shorter than medium. I was worried because in person this cup looks really big. Normally the saalt is my perfect cup except on my heaviest day I have to empty it every 4 to 6 hours and I was looking for a cup that could get me 8 hours so I could sleep through the night without waking up to change it. The Venus was hard to get in the first time and was uncomfortable to wear. Even with a trimmed stem it sits as low as is possible for me. I was worried it wouldn’t work for me but the second time I tried it opened up immediately I had no trouble with it and I couldn’t feel it at all while wearing it. And most importantly on my heaviest night I slept for 9 hours before I woke up and had to change it. This is perfect for me! I think I will only wear it on my heaviest night but at $20 it’s totally worth it and not even half the cost of the other large capacity cups.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Even if it wasn't 100% perfect the first time you tried it, we're happy to hear that with a small adjustment, it allowed you a full night of rest. The icing on the cake for us is that you have a medium/low cervix and the large Venus Cup was still comfortable.
Cheers and thank you again,

I have used both the Lunette Cup and the Diva Cup. I have a fairly heavy flow, which is why I chose menstrual cups in the first place (a cup gives me at least 2-3 hours when a super plus tampon only gave me 1-2 hours). During my typical college day, I wouldn't always have time to go to the bathroom and empty at the 2-3 hour mark, especially on lab days when I am in the lab for 3 hours straight. So I began to search for a cup with an even higher capacity that would also be a similar firmness to the cups I had been used to in the past. That's when I came across the Venus Cup! This cup does very well and has become my favorite out of the three I have used! It isn't so firm that it bothers my bladder but it is firm enough to retain its shape and pop open during placement. I did snip the stem off but that is due to my own preference. I had read that this cup was meant for people with higher cervixes, but as someone with a lower/very low cervix, I have not had any issues with that. It just rests inside of the cup which hasn't caused any issues. I now get around 5 hours without needing to empty and can imagine that someone who doesn't have such a very heavy flow as I do would get 8-12 hours. It came with a cloth bag for storage and shipped quickly and securely. I also liked that it was made in the USA! Definitely a cup that I would recommend and that I'm excited to see on the market! The very large capacities are harder to find in the US and I wasn't willing to pay shipping for one out of country, I am glad an option like this is available to women in the US now!
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
We appreciate that you took the time to leave us an excellent review! Nothing pleases us more than to hear that the Venus Cup compares to some of the other great cups out there. Especially coming from a long time cup user such as yourself.
We also couldn't be more happy to know that the features that we chose to include in the design, were features that you were seeking - soft body yet easy to open, high capacity, a rounded base for comfort, ample room to accommodate your cervix and your heavy flow, etc. We were worried that those with a low cervix might not find the length of the large very comfortable but wowed and thrilled to hear that it was perfect for you.
We hope that the Venus Cup will provide you with leak & mess-free periods for years to come.
Cheers!

I ended up getting this cup after using the Lena for a year. I needed a larger capacity cup for my first 2 days because I have large clots and thr other cup was being emptied, completely full, within 30 minutes.With this larger cup, I can go an hour and a half on my heavy days.I am super active (climber, hiker/backpacker) and have had 3 kids. And I have had zero issues with this cup suctioning or staying in place. Works great and I highly recommend!

I am 47 yrs old, work out regularly (bmi ranges between 19 and 22), have had 3 vaginal deliveries, still have a surprisingly regular (for my age?) menstrual cycle (just about every 24-28 days, reliably) have a Very heavy flow for about 1 day of my 3-4 day period, and my cervix is positioned high when not on my period. This cup is not right for me! I was able to get the cup in the right position once when my period first started, and once when it slowed down for a minute during my heavy day. Otherwise, I could Not get this (large) cup in the right position, could not get a good seal, and could not remove it easily without making a giant mess. To me the cup was too firm, I couldn't keep it folded to insert and position, the bell shape is not right for my anatomy, and maybe too wide, and I felt achy when I did get the cup in the right position that it didn't leak. I will now try a v-shaped cup, that is a little softer.

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.

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.

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!

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.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Hello!
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.

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.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience with us. It sounds like you have very busy days and we're happy to hear that the Venus Cup gets you through (most of) it. For now, the Venus Cup holds the 2nd place for the highest capacity cup on the market. However, we're not too far off and we believe the shape and size might be a little less intimidating.
We also loved the Super Jennie for its capacity but wanted an option that was easier to reach.
We're working on more colors, including a clear cup for those who rather not have any colorant at all. Those will hopefully be available in the near future.
Thank you for sharing the tip about new users to get comfortable with the small cup first. It's one of the reasons we felt a Starter Kit was necessary.
Again, we appreciate that you took the time to share your experience and we hope that the Venus Cup continues to be your preferred menstrual management product.

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.

Reply from Venus Cup Team:
I’m sorry that the Venus Cup didn’t work out for you. It can take some practice whether it’s your first time or it’s a new cup in your collection. Maybe one of the tips below will help.
- The cervix is not normally located straight up. Instead, insert the folded cup down and back towards your tailbone while in a squat on the ground. This will help put the cup in a better position under or around your cervix.
- If the cup will not open, try wiggling it down a bit and then use a finger to push it back into place. Often when a cup is inserted completely, the cervix is in the way of letting the rim expand. Wiggling it down will let the cervix correct itself.
- You can also insert the cup half way, let it expand (below the cervix) and then use a finger to push it up into place.
If the large feels uncomfortable, the small-sized Venus Cup is narrower. It should be easier to insert and more comfortable during use.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. We’re here to help you have a successful cup experience.

Reply from Venus Cup Team:
First of all, thank you for giving the Venus Cup a try even from so far away. We’re sorry to hear that it was not all that you hoped for. We understand that the Venus Cup will not be for everyone but we hope that you will give it another try. The Venus Cup has a wider base to allow for the extra capacity without adding more length or overall diameter. It may need some getting used to if your previous cup or cups were “V”-shaped. Inserting a single finger to feel around the cup body may be more comfortable than trying to spin it from the base.
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.
Please feel free to contact us for one on one support. We’re here to help.
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.
Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team

Yes. When the Venus Cup is placed correctly, it is undetectable by you or anyone else. If the stem is visible from the outside of the body, it can be trimmed down for comfort.
Since the Venus Cup is reusable, you will not need to carry extra menstrual protection products.
The Venus Cup holds much more than a tampon and you may not need to empty it as often.
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!

We also couldn't be more happy to know that the features that we chose to include in the design, were features that you were seeking - soft body yet easy to open, high capacity, a rounded base for comfort, ample room to accommodate your cervix and your heavy flow, etc. We were worried that those with a low cervix might not find the length of the large very comfortable but wowed and thrilled to hear that it was perfect for you.
We hope that the Venus Cup will provide you with leak & mess-free periods for years to come.
Cheers!
The Venus Cup Team

We hope that the capacity of the Venus Cup will hold you over until you can find a suitable place and time to empty it, but if you should need to visit a public stall packing a couple of wet wipes or small water bottle may be the ticket.
We hope that the Venus Cup will continue to be comfortable, easy to use, and mess-free!
Cheers!

I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, but we hope that the user manual still provided you with sufficient information on inserting, positioning, and removing the Venus Cup, as well as tips & tricks, troubleshooting, and FAQs.
We also hope that your experience with the actual cup is a positive one.
Please don't hesitate to contact us directly should you need any support.
Sincerely,
The Venus Cup Team
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.
Best Wishes,
The Venus Cup Team
We're happy to hear that the firmness and capacity were perfect for you.
Thank you for leaving us a review!
Cheers!
The Venus Cup Team
We also loved the Super Jennie for its capacity but wanted an option that was easier to reach.
We're working on more colors, including a clear cup for those who rather not have any colorant at all. Those will hopefully be available in the near future.
Thank you for sharing the tip about new users to get comfortable with the small cup first. It's one of the reasons we felt a Starter Kit was necessary.
Again, we appreciate that you took the time to share your experience and we hope that the Venus Cup continues to be your preferred menstrual management product.
Cheers!

- The cervix is not normally located straight up. Instead, insert the folded cup down and back towards your tailbone while in a squat on the ground. This will help put the cup in a better position under or around your cervix.
- If the cup will not open, try wiggling it down a bit and then use a finger to push it back into place. Often when a cup is inserted completely, the cervix is in the way of letting the rim expand. Wiggling it down will let the cervix correct itself.
- You can also insert the cup half way, let it expand (below the cervix) and then use a finger to push it up into place.
If the large feels uncomfortable, the small-sized Venus Cup is narrower. It should be easier to insert and more comfortable during use.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. We’re here to help you have a successful cup experience.
Best Wishes,
The Venus Cup Team
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.
Please feel free to contact us for one on one support. We’re here to help.
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.
Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team
