Can I cut the stem?

Yes. The stem is there to help you break the seal when removing the cup. The stem should be completely internal as if it’s not it will cause irritation to the labia. If you feel the stem is too long, yes, you can cut it either partially or entirely. Just be careful to not pierce the bottom of the cup in the process. It’s recommended to keep at least half of the stem, however.

What Silky Cup (reusable menstrual cup) size should I use?

Silky Cup (reusable menstrual cup) is available in a wide variety of sizes for all girls and women. Sizing is determined by overall build, childbearing history, and pelvic floor tone.

Size  S  – Suitable for preteens or teenagers with a very slim frame.

Size  M – Suitable for women up to 30 years of age with an average build and who have not gone given birth vaginally.

Size  L – Suitable for women 30 and over or have a large, tall, or strong build or have given birth to a child either vaginally or by caesarean.

Overall, there is not a large difference between the three sizes. Large has a slightly wider diameter than medium, but other than that, there isn’t a considerable difference. Women who are more athletic usually require a smaller size cup.
