NOT JUST ANOTHER CUP, IT'S THE
Bloody Buddy Cup 2-Pack
Bloody Buddy Cup!®
Ribbing Structure
One of the biggest issues people run into when switching to a menstrual cup is getting the dang thing open. Problem solved! The Bloody Buddy Cup now has four ribs built into the walls of each cup that provide just the right amount of structure to help the cups open easily every time.
Inner Rim
Bloody Buddy Cups' inner-rim also assists with opening during insertion but it’s so sleek and thin it will never get in the way of keeping your cup clean. By moving the rim inside we’ve upped the comfort factor as well. Once you get your buddy in place, you shouldn't feel a thing!
What Makes A Bloody Buddy Better?
Flexible Comfort Stem
Our cup's stem was designed to be so flexible, thin and comfortable, even if your cup sits lower you won't necessarily need to trim the stem.
It’s ultimately up to you though and if you ever do decide to give it a little trim, the recessed lines on every stem are the perfect guide!
Wavy Grips
We updated the grips to make twisting during insertion, and pinching for removal even easier.
We want any Bloody Buddy Cup maneuvering to be done with confidence. No slipping here!
Pincher Bulb
This is something you can’t see, but you’ll definitely use! There’s a pea size pincher bulb built into the base of each cup.
It will help you get a firm grasp as you rotate after insertion and it stops your cup from collapsing or refolding at the base.
Sizing Guide
We know trying to think about age, cervix height, how heavy or light your flow is and what kind of action your vagina has or hasn't seen can make choosing a size feel overwhelming. Today we're gonna give you all the info you need to be able to pick a Bloody Buddy Cup size with confidence!

What's Age Got To Do With It?
There's no magic spell that automatically changes your vagina on the morning of your 18th or 30th birthdays so why do a lot of menstrual cup sizing guidelines mention age? Because naturally as we age our hips widen and our pelvic floor muscles lose some of the tone they had when we were younger. A cup that fit snugly and stayed in place as a teen or in your twenties often won't be such a great fit in your 30s (and beyond!) or after you've given birth.
Age can also be something to think about when it comes to insertion and removal. All of our cups fold up compactly to make using them as simple as possible but for teens and younger cup users, our smallest size will be the easiest to put in and take out. Also, there's no age requirement for using a cup but being fairly comfortable with your body and having a basic understanding of how your period works is very helpful!
Let it Flow
Were you a tampon user before switching to a cup? Ok great! So think of it this way: Our Large cup holds 25 mL, that's five times as much as a regular absorbency tampon and twice as much as a super plus tampon. If you know how many tampons you were going through (and what size you were comfortable inserting) day to day on your period, that will give you a pretty good idea of what Bloody Buddy Cup size will best accommodate your flow.
Pro tip! If you're new to cups and not sure how often you need to empty your Bloody Buddy, try emptying it every few hours the first couple of days you use it. Make a mental note of how full your cup is each time, you might notice your period isn't as heavy as you thought it was!
At Your Cervix
Bloody Buddy Cups are meant to be completely internal so where your cervix is located will make a difference in where your cup sits. If you think you have a low cervix, finding out exactly where it is is a good idea.
Inserting a clean finger into your vagina during your period and feeling for your cervix (it's the smooth, raised spot at the end of your vagina that will feel like the tip of your nose when pressed) is a great way to learn where yours is. To get the most exact cervix height measurement, measure the length of finger you needed to insert until you were able to reach your cervix.
If you have a high cervix (you had to insert your entire finger before feeling it or you weren't able to reach it at all), you won't need to trim the stem of your Bloody Buddy Cup. If you have cervix that's a little lower, you might need to trim the stem to make your cup as comfy as possible.
Don't Stress!
In the end, we're all unique! Don't get too stressed about sizing. If you're worried at all about ending up with the wrong Bloody Buddy Cup size, we've got you covered with our mixed packs. Go with the two sizes you're trying to decide between and you'll be set!

Listen up! Don’t stress when selecting a size, you can take our quiz above, or check out our quick reference below. We also have an in depth sizing guide here. You may find you’re on the cusp, and are unsure what size to choose. For this, we offer mixed size packs to help remove the guesswork.
QUICK REFERENCE:
- Age: Our general rule of thumbs is, if you are over 30, a large cup will be your best fit. If you are 18 and under, the teen cup will be the best fit. Somewhere in between? Go for the small.
- Cervix Height: One of the quickest ways to determine if a menstrual cup is a good fit for you is comparing your cervix height. Our menstrual cups lean toward the longer side, so if you know you have a very low cervix, take that into consideration. On the other hand, if you know you have a high cervix, and you’ve had trouble reaching other cups for removal, our length will give you a great sense of security! Not sure about your cervix height? See our in depth sizing guide here.
- Pregnancy/Birth: In general, if you’ve carried a pregnancy to term, whether you birthed vaginally or via c-section, we would recommend a large. We would highly recommend seeing a pelvic floor therapist if you are having issues with sliding cups.
