Can teens use a menstrual cup? The answer is: Yes! In fact, a menstrual cup is perfect for you if you're a teen. If you're a teen and are heavily involved in sports, then a menstrual cup is perfect for you. If you're a teen and you can't use tampons or pads, then a menstrual cup is perfect for you. And the list goes on. The next thing you might be wondering as a teenager is: Exactly which menstrual cup should I get? Typically, smaller sized menstrual cups are recommended for teenagers. Let's take a look at the options available!

Intimina Lily Cup One

Bustle describes the Intimina Lily Cup One as follows:

"Intimina Cup One is designed to be one of the most petite options on the market. It's also one of the best options for teenagers or those who have never used a menstrual cup before."

We ran Intimina's own menstrual cup finder and we selected all of the parameters that characterize a teenager and the menstrual cup that we were suggested was the Lily Cup One.

Me Luna Standard Classic Small

What makes the MeLuna Classic Standard Small the perfect cup for teens?

MeLuna Standard Classic Small

Me Luna offers an immense amount of choices for its customers.

Here are some of the criteria for what makes a great teen menstrual cup according to them:

1. "It needs to be narrow so that there is no pressure felt when the cup is worn. A narrower cup is also easier to fold into a small shape for easy, pain-free insertion and removal."

2. "The handles need to be easy to grasp for new users but flexible so that they don't cause discomfort."

3. "Shorter is not always better and longer is often uncomfortable. Most teens have average cervix height and do not need shorty cups. In fact, using a shorty cup when it's not needed can make the cup more prone to leaking and the menstrual cup can be difficult to reach for removal in users with regular cervix height. At the same time, a menstrual cup that's very long can protrude and be painful. The Me Luna Classic Standard menstrual cup in small is the perfect height for growing bodies: not too tall to where it pokes you, not too short where it gets difficult to grasp the cup for removal."

4. "Your period is not an illness. It's perfectly fine to have a little fun with gorgeous colors. Pick your favorite Me Luna menstrual cup color and you're are all set!"

Capacity: 23 ml
