How to Choose Your Size

Whilst there are no hard and fast rules for selecting a model size, model selection is generally based on childbearing history, and cervival position, but many other factors such as anatomy, age and pelvic floor tone may influence your cup size selection.

• Model 1: Recommend if you are under 30 and have not given birth (Grippy Finish).
• Model 2: Recommend if you are over 30 or have given birth (Grippy Finish).
• Model 3: Recommend if you have a high cervix or long vaginal canal (Grippy Finish).
• Model 4: Recommend if you have a low cervix or short vaginal canal (Grippy Finish).

Please note that the sizing recommendations should be used as a guide only.

If you have had a caesarean birth a Model 1 or Model 2 JuJu may be suitable.

When selecting a Model number, please also consider the other factors below in conjunction with childbrearing history.

Pelvic floor tone and exercise

If you have particularly strong pelvic floor tone due to practicing regular kegel exercises or other activities such as pilates, yoga or dance you may wish to consider a Model 1, regardless of childbearing history or age.

If you have had vaginal corrective surgery you may wish to consider a Model 1.

Virgins and young women

A Model 1 JuJu is recommended for virgins and sexually active young women.

Build

If you have a petite or small build, you may wish to consider a Model 1 JuJu.

If you have a larger build, you may wish to consider a Model 2 JuJu.

Anatomy

If you have a low cervix or short vaginal canal choose a Model 4. 

If you have high cervix or long vaginal canal choose a Model 3. 

If you have any gynaecological concerns, such as a particularly long or narrow vaginal canal, we recommend you seek the advice of your medical practitioner prior to using JuJu to see if it is suitable for you.

Cervical position 

Your cervical position may also influence your selection of the model number and/or your ability to successfully use a menstrual cup. Your cervix may move at different stages of your cycle, so it’s a good idea to check your cervical position at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of your menstrual cycle to get a good understanding of your overall cervical position.

To determine your cervical height; wash your hands, then insert your index finger into your vagina to locate your cervix. Your cervix is a bump, which feels a bit like the end of your nose, but is shaped like a donut. Thoroughly wash your hands.

If you consistently feel your cervix sitting just inside the vaginal opening or when you have only inserted the tip of your finger up to your ‘first knuckle’ (or the bend in your finger just below your fingernail), you most likely have a low cervix and a Model 4 JuJu Cup may be the most suitable for you. The Model 4 JuJu Cup is better suited to shorter vaginal canals as it has a shorter body and stem when compared with other JuJu Models. Please only choose this model if you are sure you have a low cervix throughout your cycle as the removal of this cup may be more difficult if you have a normal to high cervix. In most cases, the Model 4 JuJu Cup is not recommended for young girls or virgins.

If you are unable to reach your cervix or need to insert your finger past the middle bend in your finger before you can feel your cervix, you most likely have a high cervix and may like to consider the Model 3 JuJu Cup. The Model 3 JuJu Cup has a longer body, which makes removal easier for women with a high cervix and longer vaginal canal.
