Discovering Your Cervix Height
Knowing your cervix height can help you find the perfect AdetCup fit. Here's a simple guide to measure it at home.
-
Wash Your Hands
Always start with clean hands. Use mild soap and ensure they're dry.
-
Comfortable Position
Find a comfortable position. This could be standing with one leg elevated, squatting, or sitting on the toilet.

Measure the Depth
Notice how far your finger is inserted when you touch your cervix. If it's just at the first knuckle, your cervix is low. If it's at the second knuckle, it's medium. If it's beyond the second knuckle or you can't reach it, it's high.
Your cervix height can change throughout your cycle. It's best to check a few times during your period to get an accurate measure.
