What is the Pelvi Cup?
The Pelvi Menstrual cup is an easy, convenient, ecological, and inexpensive alternative to tampons and pads. Menstrual cups will help you re-think the way you manage your period. A cup can collect 3-4 times more fluid than tampons meaning you can go longer between changes. When correctly sized and inserted, a cup should not leak or move and will help make exercising and swimming a breeze.
The Pelvi Cup is a bell-shaped and reusable cup that is placed inside the vaginal cavity and, when fitted securely, will collect rather than absorb the menstrual fluid.
Pelvi Cup Features:
- Manufactured from 100% high-grade medical silicone
- Plastic, Latex, BPA, and Chemical free
- Grip rings at the base of the cup to assist removal
- Short grip stem to help with removal without reducing comfort
- Smooth seamless design for easy cleaning
- Markers inside the cup allow you to measure how much fluid you have lost
- Matte finish
- Easy to use and comfortable
- Ecological and inexpensive
- Each Pelvi cup comes with a satin storage pouch
- Australian-owned company. Made in the USA and FDA listed
- TGA Registered ARTG: 312885
Quick Tips:
- Menstrual cups are not a contraceptive and do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy.
- Learning to use a menstrual cup can take a few cycles. While getting used to the Menstrual Cup it is a good idea to use a pantyliner as a backup. It may take some practice to get used to, but soon you will become comfortable with insertion and removal.
- The stem of the cup should be inside the vagina. If the stem is too long or causing irritation to the vagina, it can be trimmed with scissors.
- The Pelvi Cup is not to be used for postnatal bleeding.

I can’t believe how straightforward this was to use. That being said, I’ve only used it once at home – with one stop at my parents (so still convenient) – nothing outside / in public yet. Insertion and removal was straightforward (practice in the shower beforehand). Cleaning was easy, but be sure to be near a tap. Also – put a piece of toilet paper in the loo before you tip the blood into it. If not, the blood likes to hang around the bottom and requires multiple flushes.

LOVE! Really flexible and easy fold and the stem is the perfect length! You don’t get the irritation that you get with tampons so 100% recommend

Bigger than average but felt reassured knowing that my heavy flow was contained. Silicone is neither too firm nor too soft, in the middle of other brands I’ve tried.

This is an amazing cup, the medium size is perfect, (so glad they do medium!) the cup itself feels very sturdy and yet it is easy to insert. Absolutely the best!

Incorrect size for me 🙁

This isn’t just a great starter cup, it’s a great cup full stop.
I’ve only ever used pads and expected a big learning curve. Perhaps even for this to be the wrong cup for me. This cup has been so much greater than I ever could have imagined. I haven’t had a single leak. It’s a breeze to insert and a breeze to remove. It just seems to know exactly where to sit. And it holds so much more than a pad! I have been on cyklokapron for years to just try to get through the night without bleeding through a pad. This cup can handle my period without the need for medication and I’m just stunned. Not to mention being free of skin irritation from pads and the ongoing expense of disposables.
I’m on my second period with the cup and my mind is still blown. Seriously, if you’re considering a cup, this is a great place to start. The price alone makes it a low risk option. And it might just surprise you like it did me.

Not my first cup, but I would never go back to anything else. I use with period undies. I did find it extraordinarily difficult to initially use and also had to change the fold a few months in, but I got used to it.

Very comfortable (much better than my previous Juju cup, as softer and more flexible) and great for perimenopausal heavy flow

This cup is really similar to the Divacup, which is what I previously used. I like it a lot. It’s simple and does the job.

This cup is great. It’s really important to get the right cup size as I had the Ruby Cup (which is also good!) but it was the wrong size for me. Pelvicup is also a little more pliable.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Pelvi cup. It’s my first venture into menstrual cups and I was incredibly hesitant. Didn’t expect to like it but I decided to at least try. And I love it – it’s convenient, it feels much cleaner than pads, and it’s incredibly comfortable. I haven’t had a single leak, even in the first few tries before I had gotten the hang of getting it in. I wish it were slightly longer, as it seems my cervix sits quite high and the cup tends to migrate quite high with it. But the stem provides good grip for removal and I can get it out with minimal effort regardless of how high it gets. I also like the shape and smoothness of the stem and the cup itself. Overall, very impressed with the quality.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but that’s not the cup’s fault. Not hard to use and definitely seems to be worth the switch!

This is my first cup, after years of using pads. I could never tolerate tampons. I discovered them on Youtube randomly. Then realised their benefits on a zero waste blog. I’ve been wanting to be more environmentally friendly so I gave them a shot. TBH I went for the cheapest option first & chose the small size as I’ve got a low cervix. It fits to my surprise, but it’s a little uncomfortable. You really want to find the right size for you, so do your research. That said it works a treat. I haven’t had any leakage. Remember to boil it before & after your cycle for cleanliness. Inserting is easier if you use both hands & gently work it in. You can use water based lube if your flow hasn’t started yet. Make sure it’s in far enough so the stem doesn’t bother you. Removal is a little trickier. You’ve got to bare down, find the stem then pinch the base to release the suction & pull until you can get a grip with your other hand & fold it into a C shape, then gently pull out completely. Then dump the contents in the toilet, wash the cup in water & mild soap, then insert again. It’s a little confronting at first. But you get used to the process & become more comfortable with your body & it’s functions. I’d recommend menstrual cups to anyone & everyone. Sure they can be relatively expensive to start, but they’re reusable, last 10 years & in that time you’ll save a fortune on pads & tampons.

The cup slips down a bit and the stem is very uncomfortable. Have to turn inside out to use it

Purchased for my teenage daughter but she is struggling to use it even though she was so keen to have one. We will continue to try.

Hi Tracey,
Thank you for your feedback. Using a cup can be quite a learning curve for teen girls. If it is the size of the cup she is having trouble with, it may be worth trying a smaller diameter cup. The new Pelvi Teen size is a little smaller, or the Organicup Teen is smaller again. Also, try a few different folds, as some will make the insertion area much smaller than other types of folds https://www.menstrualcupsaustraliaonline.com.au/menstrual-cup-folds/ . If she continues to have difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact us 🙂

Great cup, has a good lip and medium softness, only little downside is the short tip that doesn’t really help with removing, good with high cervix, great price for a starter cup.

Personally, I much prefer the Diva Cup. I recommend doing some serious research, reading the articles on the MCA website about what cervix size etc you have. It will help ensure you have the right brand and size, which makes the world of difference.

Beginner friendly, it’s soft and so easy to insert and remove.The stem doesn’t irritate as well.Best cup used so far.

Works great for me, I’m happy to put it in and forget about it and not worry about using up tampons/pads/liners. An overall positive experience.

It took a few tries to figure out how to get a seal and stop it leaking but once I found the right folding method for me and how to position my body during insertion it was amazing!! No uncomfortable rash causing pads & no painful tampons for me anymore!

Was a bit nervous but surprisingly easy to use & remove

I think this cup is great. I’ve only used it for one cycle so still getting the hang of using a cup for the first time but when I’ve fitted it correctly it doesn’t leak and is comfortable. I’ve found that the key to a good fit is that once inserted you can feel from the base of the cup that it’s gone back to its original shape and not still folded. I’ve found that on heavy days I would change every 4 hours but normal days can go 6 – 8 hours. I’m really happy that I’ve made the switch.

I am happy I bought a cup. It is very comfortable, and no irritation (especially in summer) like from pads, neither as often changing as tampons. I have to admit it was more work and time consuming at the beginnig but worth it.
It is my first cup but I recommend pelvi cup.

I wish I had’ve bought a menstural cup sooner! It’s a great money saving tool, easy to use, no waste and I’ve not had any issue with it.
I dont think I’ll ever switch back to using pads or tampons.

Awesome product. Some small difficulties the first try (more to do with me than the product!) But overall I love the fact that won’t have to use wasteful pads or tampons again!
