Bloody Buddy Cup!®
Designed to be the easiest-to-use, most comfortable menstrual cup! Our patent-pending features make the Bloody Buddy Cup a perfect choice for beginners or experts!
Ribbing Structure
One of the biggest issues people run into when switching to a menstrual cup is getting the dang thing open. Problem solved! The Bloody Buddy Cup now has four ribs built into the walls of each cup that provide just the right amount of structure to help the cups open easily every time.
Inner Rim
Bloody Buddy Cups' inner-rim also assists with opening during insertion but it’s so sleek and thin it will never get in the way of keeping your cup clean. By moving the rim inside we’ve upped the comfort factor as well. Once you get your buddy in place, you shouldn't feel a thing!
What Makes A Bloody Buddy Better?
Flexible Comfort Stem
Our cup's stem was designed to be so flexible, thin and comfortable, even if your cup sits lower you won't necessarily need to trim the stem.
It’s ultimately up to you though and if you ever do decide to give it a little trim, the recessed lines on every stem are the perfect guide!
Wavy Grips
(patent pending)
We updated the grips to make twisting during insertion, and pinching for removal even easier.
We want any Bloody Buddy Cup maneuvering to be done with confidence. No slipping here!
Pincher Bulb
(patent pending)
This is something you can’t see, but you’ll definitely use! There’s a pea size pincher bulb built into the base of each cup.
It will help you get a firm grasp as you rotate after insertion and it stops your cup from collapsing or refolding at the base.
Sizing Guide
We know trying to think about age, cervix height, how heavy or light your flow is and what kind of action your vagina has or hasn't seen can make choosing a size feel overwhelming. Today we're gonna give you all the info you need to be able to pick a Bloody Buddy Cup size with confidence!

What's Age Got To Do With It?
There's no magic spell that automatically changes your vagina on the morning of your 18th or 30th birthdays so why do a lot of menstrual cup sizing guidelines mention age? Because naturally as we age our hips widen and our pelvic floor muscles lose some of the tone they had when we were younger. A cup that fit snugly and stayed in place as a teen or in your twenties often won't be such a great fit in your 30s (and beyond!) or after you've given birth.
Age can also be something to think about when it comes to insertion and removal. All of our cups fold up compactly to make using them as simple as possible but for teens and younger cup users, our smallest size will be the easiest to put in and take out. Also, there's no age requirement for using a cup but being fairly comfortable with your body and having a basic understanding of how your period works is very helpful!
Let it Flow
Were you a tampon user before switching to a cup? Ok great! So think of it this way: Our Large cup holds 25 mL, that's five times as much as a regular absorbency tampon and twice as much as a super plus tampon. If you know how many tampons you were going through (and what size you were comfortable inserting) day to day on your period, that will give you a pretty good idea of what Bloody Buddy Cup size will best accommodate your flow.
Pro tip! If you're new to cups and not sure how often you need to empty your Bloody Buddy, try emptying it every few hours the first couple of days you use it. Make a mental note of how full your cup is each time, you might notice your period isn't as heavy as you thought it was!
At Your Cervix
Bloody Buddy Cups are meant to be completely internal so where your cervix is located will make a difference in where your cup sits. If you think you have a low cervix, finding out exactly where it is is a good idea.
Inserting a clean finger into your vagina during your period and feeling for your cervix (it's the smooth, raised spot at the end of your vagina that will feel like the tip of your nose when pressed) is a great way to learn where yours is. To get the most exact cervix height measurement, measure the length of finger you needed to insert until you were able to reach your cervix.
If you have a high cervix (you had to insert your entire finger before feeling it or you weren't able to reach it at all), you won't need to trim the stem of your Bloody Buddy Cup. If you have cervix that's a little lower, you might need to trim the stem to make your cup as comfy as possible.
Don't Stress!
In the end, we're all unique! Don't get too stressed about sizing. If you're worried at all about ending up with the wrong Bloody Buddy Cup size, we've got you covered with our mixed packs. Go with the two sizes you're trying to decide between and you'll be set!

Using the Bloody Buddy Cup Cleanser

All set!
Main Ingredients
- Water
- Sodium Laurylglocoside Hydroxypropylsulfonate This mouthful of a word is a natural alternative to sulfates. It’s sugar based, biodegradable and helps cleanse gently.
- Cocamidropropyl Betain is coconut derived, used as a surfactant and helps thicken the wash into foam making it spread easily over your cups and discs.
1% or less:
- Benzyl Alcohol is naturally occurring occuring preservative that lengthens the shelf life of your wash. This isn’t an ingredient you’d want to ingest or have in creams left on the skin as it could be irritating to sensitive skin, but in a product that gets completely rinsed off, it's safe and very body friendly.
- Potassium Sorbate is a naturally occurring antimicrobial compound, see ya later microbes!
- Propanediol is sustainably extracted from corn sugar and helps improve the shelf life of the wash.
- Citric Acid helps with ph balance
- Sorbitan Oleate Decylglucoside Crosspolymer is a safe emulsifier and cleanser
Drying Place
Regular price $20.00 Sale price $10.00Moisture can be a breeding ground for bacteria, however on the Bloody Buddy Cup Drying Place, the water falls off your cup or disc and quickly evaporates, eliminating moisture. When bacteria comes in contact with the surface, it’s absorbed by the stone which dries them out and they quickly die.

CARE
Meet the perfect place for your Bloody Buddy Cup. After its had a little rinse, don't put a puddle on your counter, place your cup (or disc!) on the Drying Place and watch the water dissipate, eliminating an environment where bacteria might grow.
Bloody Buddy Cup’s drying place is made from natural stone with natural antimicrobial properties. Instead of leaving a puddle of water on the counter, where bacteria and mold could thrive, the Drying Place stone gives your menstrual cups or discs a clean place, where water practically disappears before your eyes.
What is this MAGIC?!
How to Use With Your Cup:
- Rinse your cup completely clean. (Tip: Use Bloody Buddy Cup’s Foaming Cleanser to get your cup squeaky clean and extra during your period!)
- Shake over the sink to leave most of the excess water behind
- Place on Drying Place, open side down, and be on your way, the Drying Place will take care of the rest. (smile)
Caring for your drying place:
- If your drying place gets overly saturated, lean it upright, against the wall, to allow airflow until it’s completely dry.
- We recommended rinsing your cup with our Foaming Cleanser before placing it on the drying place.
- The drying place is super absorbent, but you don’t want to overwhelm it, don’t submerge the drying place in water, or store it in the shower.
If your toilet is further than arms reach from the sink, The Drying Place can make the flow of changing your cup easier.
1- Walk into the bathroom, pick up clean cup off the Drying Place
2- Remove/empty used cup, place to the side (usually on a small piece of toilet paper)
3- Insert clean cup, take dirty cup to rinse at the sink
4- Leave on the drying place, ready to use for your next change
Also great for your toys, if you switch back and forth between cups and discs throughout your period, or if you prefer to only use a cup during the night or day.
