CERVIX HEIGHT

4 Simple steps to measure your cervix height

Measure during your period, when the cervix is often at its lowest.

Start when you feel ready

Wash your hands and choose a position that feels relaxed. Short, smooth nails may feel more comfortable.

Gently locate your cervix

Using a clean finger, reach only as far as feels comfortable. Your cervix may feel slightly firmer and rounder than the surrounding tissue.

Notice how far you reached

Take note of where your finger sits when you locate your cervix.

Measure and use the guide

Compare this point with the guide to find your approximate cervix height.

Cervix height can change throughout your cycle, so you may wish to check again on another day. If you can’t reach your cervix, it may simply sit higher.

Use this as a starting point, then factor in flow and what feels comfortable.

LOW • ABOUT 44 MM OR LESS

Start shorter

Small Cup or Elite Regular.

Start shorter with Small Cup or Elite Regular.

MEDIUM • ABOUT 45 MM

Common questions, honest answers.

Real answers to the questions almost everyone asks before switching to reusables.

I'm new to reusable period care. Where should I start?

If you're new to reusable period care, we usually recommend starting with a menstrual cup. Cups tend to have a gentler learning curve and are a great introduction to reusable period products. If you're unsure which size or product is right for you, take our Period Quiz or get in touch. We're always happy to help.

Cup or disc - which is easier for beginners?

For most first-time users, a menstrual cup is easier to learn. A menstrual disc sits differently in the body and can take a little more practice to position correctly. That said, every body is different, and some people find discs easier from day one. Ultimately, it comes down to your anatomy, lifestyle, and personal preference.

Which size should I choose if I have a heavy flow?

If you have a heavier flow, we recommend choosing a higher-capacity option. Our Elite Menstrual Disc is available in Regular (40ml) and Large (60ml), with the Large offering our highest capacity. Our menstrual cups are also available in Small (15ml) and Regular (25ml), with the Regular offering the highest cup capacity. If you're unsure which option is right for you, we're happy to help you choose the best fit based on your flow, anatomy, and lifestyle.

Do reusable period care products leak?

When inserted correctly, both menstrual cups and discs provide reliable, leak-resistant protection for up to 12 hours. Leaks are usually caused by incorrect placement or using the wrong size, rather than the product itself. Like any new skill, there can be a learning curve, but most users feel confident after two or three cycles.

Can I switch from a cup to a disc later?

Absolutely! Many BaoBabes start with a cup and later switch to a disc, or keep both and use whichever suits their needs. Some prefer a cup for everyday use and a disc for heavy-flow days, exercise, or mess-free period sex. There isn't a right or wrong choice. It's about what feels best for your body.

What can I use with an IUD?

Many people safely use both menstrual cups and discs with an IUD. Some prefer a disc because it doesn't rely on suction. If you choose a menstrual cup, it's important to break the seal before removing it to avoid placing unnecessary tension on your IUD strings. We also recommend checking with your healthcare provider after insertion and ensuring your IUD strings are trimmed to an appropriate length.
