The Uva Cup 0 is the smallest menstrual cup in Uva’s range, holding 15 ml. Uva suggests it for a lighter flow, roughly what 1-2 tampons a day would handle, and for people trying a cup for the first time.
Like every Uva cup it is medical-grade silicone, reusable for up to 10 years, with an anti-leak rim and a slit that makes emptying and cleaning easier. If you’re nervous about switching from pads or tampons, the smaller size is the easier place to start.
IS SIZE 0 THE RIGHT START?
Uva’s size guide recommends the Uva Cup 0 if any of these apply:
- your flow is not heavy (about 1-2 tampons a day)
- it is your first menstrual cycle
- you have not had sexual intercourse
- you have not given birth vaginally
If your flow is moderate, Uva’s guide points to the Uva Cup A (20 ml) instead.

FIRST-TIME CUP TIPS
- Practise once before your period, so the first try isn’t a rush.
- Fold the cup, insert it, and let it open; the rim helps it seal.
- Empty and rinse it as often as the leaflet in the box recommends.
- Use the slit to rinse it through, and turn the cup inside out for a deeper clean.
Uva doesn’t publish the cup’s measurements or a wear time on the product copy we have; follow the instructions in the box.
