Not all uteruses, vaginas, and cervixes were created equal;  Menstrual cup sizing is not black and white. At SckoonCup we have our sizing guidelines, but that does not mean that our guidelines will work for everyone. In fact, we know that our cup won’t fit every single person who menstruates. No menstrual cup company, tampon company, etc. can claim to fit 100% of all people who menstruate!

Tip: Knowing where your cervix sits will tell you what should be the size of your cup.

SckoonCup size 1 is 1.6 inches in diameter, 1.8 inches in cup length, and the stem is 1.0 inches for a total length of 2.8 inches. SckoonCup size 1 can hold 23ml of fluid. Normal to Medium flow.

Here are some basic rules when it comes to SckoonCup menstrual cup sizing.

Most people who order SckoonCup menstrual cup size 1 will fit some to most of these guidelines:

·      Have not had a vaginal birth

·      Usually under 30ish (if not had vaginal birth)

·      First time users

·      Young people and teenagers who have not had a vaginal birth

·      People who are virgins

·      People who are fit, do yoga, Pilates, and may have strong pelvic muscles

·      If you have bladder sensitivities and need a smaller cup

·      Fits people who have both a “lower” or “high” cervix location

·      Have a medium/heavy to light flow

·      Are worried because you have a “hanging” cervix

SckoonCup size 2is 1.8 inches in diameter, 2.0 inches in cup length, and the stem is 0.8 inches for a total length of 2.8 inches. SckoonCup size 2 can hold 30ml of fluid. Medium to Heavy Flow

Most people who order SckoonCup menstrual cup size 2 will fit some or most of these guidelines:

·      Had a vaginal birth

·      Over 30ish (even if you have not had a vaginal birth)

·      Plus sized individuals may benefit from a size 2

·      People who have a very heavy flow may like the size 2

·      People who need a larger cup but not a “longer” cup because of a lower sitting cervix

 Tip: You may still have leakage on your first 2-3 days. However, by continuously using SckoonCup, it will become easier for you and comfortable wearing it. So be patient and diligently practice the menstrual cup folds.
 

By using SckoonCup you can often collect double to quadruple as much fluid than you can when using a tampon!

FYI:     SckoonCup size 2 holds one full ounce of menstrual flow (30 ml) and Size 1 (23 ml). 

             As the average woman only flows approximately 1 to 2 ounces (30-60 ml) Per Cycle.

SCKOONCUP HOW TO CHOOSE VIDEO

If your body type is slim, fit and toned, most likely you have strong pelvic muscles, and in that case, you may want to use size 1 even if you have had a vaginal birth. On the other hand, if your pelvic muscles are more relaxed, you may want to select size 2 regardless of your experience

Main Reason for menstrual cup leakage is choosing the Wrong Size Cup – Choosing a cup that is too small for you could cause the cup to leak. Alternatively, choosing a cup too large for you can cause pain and discomfort. Make sure you look at the recommendations. Generally the sizing recommendations work.

(inches)	Size 1	Size 2		(mm)	Size 1	Size 2
Diameter	1.60	1.80		Diameter	40	45
Cup Length	1.60	2.00		Cup Length	45	50
Stem Length	1.20	0.80		Stem Length	25	20
Total Length	2.80	2.80		Total Length	70	70
Capacity	23ml	30ml		Capacity	23ml	30ml

 

Size 1 --- Small, for women who haven’t previously given birth vaginally.  

Size 2:  Large, for women who have given birth vaginally.

HOW TO INSERT SCKOONCUP:

First, wash your hands and SkoonCup with Oil-free Fragrance-free Soap

1-Hold your SckoonCup and ensure that the stem is pointing down. "See diagram below"

2-Fold your cup so that it is coming in on itself.

3-Squeeze your cup so that it is flat, then fold it in half and make a “U shape” with the rim.

4- While squatting, Insert your SckoonCup in your vaginal canal aim it so that it is angled towards the tailbone. Make sure that the cup is not going past the cervix or sitting right next to it. Do not insert SckoonCup while lying down as this may result in the cup being positioned improperly, leading to discomfort and possible leaking.

5-To open and seal your cup, grip the BASE of the cup, not the STEM, and gently twist the base sideways. You can also insert your finger and guide it along the rim of the cup to help open.

6- After insertion, ensure that the cup is fully open by rotating it a full 360 degrees in either direction. Use the BASE of the cup to rotate Not the Stem.

Some women find that the stems on their period cups are too long, feel free to trim this portion of the stem.

Always make sure you’ve enough air above your cup when inserting and if your cup has air holes, that they are clean and have a clear airway.

For Beginners Do not push the cup upwards like a tampon as it can cause leakage, it may take a little bit of learning curve, but Sckooncup will be a very comfortable and healthier alternative to tampons.

You will want to either sit on the toilet or squat comfortably. With your free hand, gently separate your labia. While ensuring your cup is still folded, insert your SckoonCup with your dominant hand and aim it so that it is angled towards the tailbone. When inserting menstrual cups, correct angling will ensure comfort and proper function. Once the stem becomes even with the opening of the vagina, stop insertion. SckoonCup should sit slightly lower than a tampon, but they should still extend beyond the pelvis bone.

You may see different menstrual cup companies stating that their cup is either soft or stiff/firm. There are a few reasons for soft and firm menstrual cups. We have pelvic muscles and over time those muscles start to lose some of the “tightness” or tone. exercises can help to improve the muscle tone, which can help menstrual cup users. Some people complain about how other cups are too soft and won’t pop open when inserted (these people may have very toned pelvic muscles or maybe a virgin). Other’s complain that a cup maybe too stiff, uncomfortable, and “hang” too low (this can often happen after childbirth).

Here at SckoonCup we’ve addressed this common problem. We’ve made a softer cup (the medical grade silicone is soft to the touch) and the cup has medium squishiness. The rim of our menstrual cup is firmer; therefore popping open is usually never an issue, but our cup is extremely comfortable! You get the best of both worlds with SckoonCup.
