The Uva Cup A is Uva’s middle-size reusable menstrual cup, holding 20 ml. Uva rates it for a moderate flow, about what 2-3 tampons a day would handle. It is made of medical-grade silicone and, according to Uva, can be reused for up to 10 years.
Two details set the Uva cup apart: an anti-leak rim around the edge, and a slit that makes it easier to empty and lets you turn the cup inside out to clean it. If you currently go through a few tampons a day, size A is the one Uva suggests.

SWITCHING FROM TAMPONS
- Expect a learning curve: most people need a cycle or two to get comfortable with folding and inserting a cup.
- Wash your hands before you insert or remove it.
- Follow the wear-time and cleaning instructions in Uva’s leaflet.
- If something feels painful or wrong, take it out and speak to a health professional.
UVA CUP A QUESTIONS
What is a menstrual cup?
A small, flexible cup worn inside the vagina during your period. It collects menstrual fluid instead of absorbing it; you empty it, rinse it and put it back.
How much does the Uva Cup A hold?
20 ml. Uva says that is about the same as 2-3 tampons a day, for a moderate flow.
Is size A right for me?
Uva suggests size A for a moderate flow, for people under 30 and for people who have not given birth vaginally. For a lighter flow or a first cup, Uva points to size 0.
How long does it last?
Uva says the cup is reusable for up to 10 years with proper care.
What is it made of?
Medical-grade silicone, according to Uva. Uva also describes the cup as FDA registered and compliant.
How do I clean it?
Rinse the Uva Cup A each time you empty it. It has a slit that makes it easier to empty and lets you turn it inside out for a deeper clean. Follow the leaflet in the box for sterilising.
