If you’re new to the world of reusable period cups or discs, you might be wondering if it’s okay to use two different sizes during your cycle. The answer? Absolutely! In fact, many people find that alternating sizes works best for their unique needs. Here’s why and how it might work for you.

 

Understanding Your Menstrual Flow

Your period isn’t the same every day or even every cycle. For many people, the first few days tend to be heavier, while the flow tapers off towards the end. During those heavy days, you might prefer a larger cup or disc to handle more volume and reduce the frequency of emptying. On lighter days, a smaller size can feel more comfortable and provide just the right level of protection without being too bulky. Sometimes you may even want to switch between a menstrual disc and period cup. 

Your Anatomy Matters When Choosing A Menstrual Cup or Menstrual Disc 

Everyone’s body is different, and factors like cervix height and sensitivity can influence which size works best. Some people find that their cervix position changes throughout their cycle. A higher cervix might call for a bigger menstrual cup or disc, while a lower cervix might feel better with a shorter or smaller size. By having two sizes on hand, you can adapt to what feels best as your body changes.

Your Period Product Should Always Be Comfortable

One of the best things about reusable menstrual products is their flexibility. If you’re experiencing cramping or sensitivity on certain days, switching to a smaller, softer cup, like our Saalt Soft Cup, can make a big difference. On other days, a larger option, like the Saalt Menstrual Disc might provide the security you need to go about your day without worry.

If you’re considering using two menstrual disc or cup sizes, start by identifying your flow patterns and cervix height. Saalt offers a variety of period cup and disc duos to help you find the right products for your anatomy.
