10 Ways to Fix Menstrual Cup Leaks

[@Jazzy869]

Thanks for mentioning wiping leaks. You are the first person I’ve heard mention it. I’ve been trying to resolve that because I was considering it a leak. So I see now that this is rather normal.

[@clairec1026]

Please know that I still appreciate your YT videos! The shorts are a nice quick burst of education but I love hearing in depth about topics 😊

[@scadutostudios1347]

I'm new to cups... I use a salt soft with a C-fold and I found that if you bear down and twist or turn your cup around at the same time it opens more easily .

[@mariechampagne932]

Thank you for this video across the country there's somewhere between 2 to 3 million of these things, rusted piles of metal that kick out greenhouse gases and oil. Curtis Shuck is in charge of this operation, he's a retired oil and gas executive, his mission is to stop wells from leaking of the well done foundation, its a nonprofit thanks for this free video

[@snobarakhter2811]

The tricks u r using personally are working i am using that too! 😊, i have been using cup from 2 months still learning tricks, feels great to switch cup , money saving and very comfortable, no rashes, no wastage ... Thank u for sharing valuable knowledge

My cup worked reliably for over a decade, than started leaking recently. Tried the a new cup in same brand & size thinking it was maybe too old and lost elasticity - nope, new one still leaking. I then measured my cervix height and found the culprit. My cervix (which is normally quite high) decided to hang really low at the beggining of my period during my heavy days and the cup was sudenly too tall for it. Managed to temporarily solve the issue by digging up a small size cup I had around and changing it hourly on my heavy days. Which led me to your channel to see what low-cervix high-capacity cup options were out there now. Wasn’t keen on any as I like softer cups and need way bigger capacity than available in low cervix options, but in the process I got intrigued by reusable discs so now I am awaiting my first menstrual disc in the post. Wish me luck!

[@PeriodNirvana]

good luck!

[@XeaRae]

@@PeriodNirvana thank you!

[@zennaonthez]

​@@XeaRae how'd the disc works now?

[@XeaRae]

@@zennaonthez leaking unfortunately :(

[@asmashafique1691]

Just came to this comment with same problem only this time 😢 can't figure out why its not going up inside at alll as it used to be earlier

[@Xbellesa]

I’ve been using cups for 2years now & I still have leakage issues 😩. I’ve used several different ones & used these tips & still have leakage 😩. Its so frustrating cause idk what to do anymore lol but I refuse to go back to pads 😅

[@PeriodNirvana]

Not to say you have to buy and try another thing, but if you haven't tried a menstrual disc it's worth exploring. I do hear so many stories of people who never got along with their cup despite trying it ALL who succeeded with a disc since they are such different products in where they sit/how they work.

[@sushmitas9173]

Same here. Exactly same

[@staceysharee9387]

Same and I refuse to go back too so I got period panties and the combination is working for me.

[@naturalw33]

Same. That why I invested in period underwear.

[@D4CValentine]

Using cup for almost a year and have slight leakage , I would go fix it a little bit and then it's ok , it happens usually in the first day and kinda stressful , when it happens I think of going back to pads but I really hate it 😂 , so still sticking on to cups ..I took the niravana period quiz and my suitable cup is Lily cup , it's costly for me so I'm gonna save up and buy it soon 🥲

[@sweetestmum]

I just bought the Merula XL and I’m worried about the stem and lack of suction holes but also excited to try it for my heavy flow. It’s what came up for me on the quiz. Cost me 93 dollars with shipping and duties from Germany so fingers crossed cuz the diva cup always leaks.

[@tondriasanders6306]

I just found this channel and I’m so glad there are creators disseminating this info. Thank you! Even if, link me, you’re a person for whom this info doesn’t apply, you know someone it could apply to, so pass them a link😊

[@Gabria87]

OMG thank you so much, I wish I had you 13 years ago when I struggled FOR YEARS with leakings! Thanks for existing💙💙💙💙

[@MarieJesne]

Hi Kim, thank you for this video. I have never thought of tugging down on the cup and I've been using mine for 9 years now! I recently tried to use a disc but didn't go very well; it seemed to be getting caught on my anterior fornix. Would you consider doing a Disc Troubleshooting video in the future? Love your content and glad I found your new channel.

[@PeriodNirvana]

I have a short one on TikTok but I think I can upload here if I didn’t already!

[@rozaSkroza]

I've grown so so fond of you Kimmie. I'm spreading the word because you've educated me so well. Love you, thank you 💘

[@PeriodNirvana]

I almost thought my dad was commenting here for a minute sense he calls me Kimmie. Thanks so much!

[@Ayesha______]

This is soo wholesome, I’m sorry this is too much🥺🥺🥺🥺💔💔

[@lebohangnompumelelomakena9739]

Fantastic video! These are really great tips. Your menstrual cup content is top-tier. Thank you so much ❤️

[@PeriodNirvana]

[@urvashi-rb9qy]

Thank you for these tips! I will definitely use them when I am next dealing with unexplained leaks.

[@kshamtakumpawat2766]

My daughter is just 3 yrs old rn. But i am going to make her use a cup as i am also using the cups. Although i am new to the menstrual cup world and i have had little mishaps but that happened when i started using napkins in my early period days. I am stubborn to use this beautiful cup everytime.

[@abbystephens5516]

I have heard discs work better than cups for leaks because they’re easier to figure out

[@daricexxi]

the honk honk made me laugh 😭

[@teddybear3382]

Thank you so much you are super amazing ❤️ best teacher..

[@emyf9197]

It took me 15 minutes to take it out! I felt my hands cramping.. My thumb still shaking when I'm tryna type on my phone rn lol.. I felt like my whole hand was in there.. Cramping my thigs and lower back lol.. One point I thought my cervix was gonna come out. There's a cup from flex brand.. And u get a a long string that u pull from and that breaks the seal for u.. N then u pull it out with the finger

[@DoctorNicole]

Great tips! Thank you

[@KC-ir9fn]

I feel like I might be a cup/disc person in one period… assuming I can get success with a disc lol

[@carol-annemartinalolafrase8473]

[@AimanIqbal]

Pee safe is an Indian brand so she wouldn't know ofc. Try the last tip she mentioned

[@lakshmishankar2]

OMG!!!! I too have experienced this. It's almost every time I wake up i would have to readjust the cup so it wouldn't leak all over my panties. And if it leaks....it's sooo messy as the collected blood just pours out. It's sooo frustrating. I wonder if it is because of the cups or my technique? The problem started only a few months ago (using cup for almost a year) that this kinda leakage issue began.

[@kalvid4011]

pushing the cup. i do it all the time. saves my life.

[@saraicastillo2994]

Do you have any cheap amazon menstrual cup recommendations? I’m new to cups and I’m not sure if i’ll like them so I was wondering if you recommend cheap dupes/alternatives.

[@Natalie-vf5by]

i bought a cup from her website recently, it’s really not expensive!! mine was about 3 dollars!!! i would look at her website and see which one you would like (be sure to take the quiz) good luck :)

[@phadenswandemil4345]

June cups are on sale right now for $6. I've never tried one myself, so idk anything about the brand. But it's worth looking into.

[@cisf888]

june cups! they're about 6 dollars and ive heard amazing things about them! apparently they're just like the more expensive ones, but ofc do some of your own research just in case :)

[@camillagainey]

Venus June cup ($8)

[@alexandrastrieskova1611]

Hi, I dont have problems with cup leaks usually (and if yes its after heavy nights cause my cervix is low and sometimes sits in cup) but thank you for this video🦋 do you have some tips how to avoid water in the cup after swimming? Thank you☺️

[@azbl0911]

Quick question. What will happen if you have a high cervix and you place the cup not directly under the cervix but around the middle of the vaginal canal? (Cup is entirely inside the vagina but rim is still about an inch away from the cervix)

[@PeriodNirvana]

As long as the cup is sealed against the vaginal walls it won't leak.

[@tulingokturk2350]

Thanks!

[@CROCHEMATE]

I'm the 1st time use.day time is very comfortable but,sleeping time is leaking.what is the reason ma'am?

[@androsgoliath9948]

As a guy, I have learned a lot today, thank you!!

[@vidhikamboj4083]

I am having a lot issues with the cup! I don't know is this the correct size or something else that I don't do correct in the process of insertion cause in my opinion the cup might open but I still got leaks whatever I have done with that! It really sucked! Please help!🥺

[@Littlelily-15]

The first cup j bought, ill say A was soo horrible I bought it in s, it had only s and l. I leaked everytime. Had to use pads and it wasn't smooth I then bought another, B which was soo cool. I didn't leak, well i used some of these techniques. But one thing, its xs On my heavy days i change it up to 5 times which is so annoying Im now thinking of going back to A😅 And im looking for tips to make A work for me, by force

[@ananyaghoshal6807]

can I get help from you in choosing my right size ? My age is 27 recently married no child birth n with a heavy flow on 2nd and 3rd day ? this is the first time am using cup,but am having leakage.

[@abiabi2163]

Thank you

[@___Shruti___]

Can we use dulex lubricant for 1 first time

[@camilad.1618]

I bought a Lumma disc and it is leaking... it is so frustrating...

[@halliesmith3132]

Is the flex cup right for me I'm a first time user

[@katietaptto4389]

How many cups are good to have? I thought it was supposed to last for several years? Should they be rotated through?

[@mariaphilojames714]

Can use a single cup for couple of years

[@layshiawaite3823]

Help!!! I'm new to cups and not entirely sure if I'm doing it right I insert the cups it pops open but the cups themselves feel like there pinched shut at the base like ait needs air to pop open or something is that normal I've tried everything help!!!

[@arsheenakhtar7327]

Is it possible that cup can hurt inner body nd from that part blood starta coming out?

[@Nisa-jf4kr]

I'm a beginner and at my first time it leaks. The second day also leaks but after sometimes my cup did'nt leaks. Now my problem is it is leaking while sleeping. Another times cup did'nt leaks but i don't know why it is leaking while my sleep.. Please tell me sister😢

[@medhaaryaa2762]

If anybody has high cervix then can she use low cervix cup? Will it be OK?

[@spadesanddimonds]

Yes, but they might just ride up a little higher and be more difficult to reach. I have a very high cervix I use a normal cup and just bear down to reach it.

[@icycici]

I have a high cervix too. It really depends on how comfortable you are reaching further to get your cup or inserting it correctly so it won't leak.

[@dancingdivazriooo]

My cervix height is all over the place and I wear a low cervix cup, specifically because I was looking for a cup where my cervix dips inside and sits in the vaginal fornix for comfort reasons so it doesn’t hurt my cervix. The cup i currently wear is cotton mermaid guppy size one in soft and it’s perfect in terms of comfort and great for light flow days since it holds 15ml. I do have to reach for it but I don’t mind doing that when showering. I learned that a 45mm diameter for a menstrual cup is great for me, so you could look for a long high cervix cup that has a similar diameter. I’m waiting for my hello disc to come in so it could tackle other issues I’m having, such as low capacity, reach issues, and mess free removal. Hope this helps

[@SaumyaShukla118]

Please help me,😭😭 I am 17 yr old.I have small size menstrual cup,I have to empty it after 5 hrs doesn't matter if it is empty it still leaks after 5 hrs and I do feel that I insert it coreectly and there is not any fold inside it.it properly covers my uterus what should I do??

[@whitneywebb981]

I'm 38, mom of 3 and have terribly heavy cycles. I've used the cup for years and have never had any success with stopping major leaking. I'm curious if any women who experienced vaginal tears during delivery, struggle with painful insertion and removal of the cup? I can't seem to find anyone who relates to this. I'm 15 months postpartum of a 4° tear and use the Flex menstrual cup and have severe pain when using the cup!!! Please help!

[@xwyssss]

I cannot relate to this but I just want to say the lack of research on menstruation and feminine health in general is so frustrating. I am 22 and have to spend hours on line to give myself sex ed and learn about different menstrual products

[@sairaperven578]

my menstrual leaks when i go to bed plz tell the solution why it leaks?in day time it works very well but at night it leaks

[@Missemilie97]

Why do I get leaks every first day of a cycle? I don't bleed much the first day and contribute it to being very slimey. Is it possible that the slime/mucus clog the holes and breaking the seal?

[@nishisingh1159]

same happens with me ..holes get blocked

[@whitevsdarkasmr]

do you have a video for virgins with tilted cervix? my vaginal walls are so small i can barely insert a finger so the cup stops right at the base and opens on its own. how do i push it far up? my finger doesn't get inside after the cup is there also my cervix is tilted to the left a little.. the cup also rubs to my urethra and i feel like peeing all the time

[@ladybird491]

My doctor was a virgin and could insert a tampons, please stop this lieing. I was a virgin once and could insert a finger. Unless you got monsters fingers you are lying. You are not folding it when you put it in. I have a tight small vagina even after having a baby and still when I was virgin I could fit a finger.

[@katietaptto4389]

Oh how i hate the feeling of the cup popping open after insertion… i will be up and moving around and then 💥 😳 😵‍💫😮‍💨

[@jennifergeorge7280]

Another notable thing is after having babies your vaginal walls can change. Many women have a prolapse without realizing it. My cup worked well until I birthed my third baby. My organs were all over the place and I was so stressed about it. I went to physiotherapy and it helped. Highly recommend going for physiotherapy after each pregnancy! Regardless of my prolapse improving, I had leaking all the time. I had to relearn how to use the cup with my new version of my body. I used to do c-fold and now to punch down. It has helped so much. Excited to try a disc next.

[@sandradisclafani6725]

❤️👍🏻

[@carol-annemartinalolafrase8473]
