We recommend trying your new Missy cup before your next period. This is to help build confidence with inserting and removing your Missy cup. Please note that you should only have your Missy cup in for a brief amount of time when not menstruating, i.e Insert, move around, remove.
A good place to practice inserting and removal techniques is in the shower.

Missy cups come in two sizes and our guideline will help determine which Missy cup size is best for you;
Our Small cups are designed for:
Teens, first time cup users, babes with a light flow or a low cervix and those under 30.
Our Regular cups are designed for:
Queens who have given birth, those who have a heavier flow or a higher cervix and "Boss" babes over 30.
Please note these are generic guidelines, you may find that your Missy cup size could differ from the guideline above.
This is why we have included a split sizing option in our 2-PAC.
