Menstrual Cups You Can Have Sex With
Some people wonder if there are menstrual cups designed for sexual activity. The short answer is: traditional menstrual cups are not meant for penetrative vaginal sex, but there are options designed for intimacy.
✅ Traditional Menstrual Cups
-
Not suitable for vaginal intercourse because they sit inside the vagina and will dislodge or leak during penetration.
-
Best used for menstrual blood collection only.
✅ Soft or Low-Profile Cups
-
Some cups are shorter, softer, or more flexible, which may allow internal stimulation or non-penetrative sexual activity without removing the cup.
-
They are not designed for penetrative vaginal sex, but may provide comfort during foreplay or other intimate activities.
✅ Menstrual Discs
-
Menstrual discs are different from cups—they sit higher in the vaginal canal, right under the cervix.
-
Some brands allow for penetrative sex while the disc is in place.
-
They can be a good alternative for those who want protection during periods without removal.
✅ Tips
-
Always check the product instructions—not all discs are made for sex.
-
Communicate with your partner for comfort and positioning.
-
Empty or adjust the cup/disc if leaks or discomfort occur.
🌸 Bottom Line
-
Traditional menstrual cups: not for penetrative vaginal sex.
-
Menstrual discs: some allow sex during your period.
-
Soft/low-profile cups: may allow limited internal stimulation but not penetration.
