Who knows exactly where their cervix is? If your answer is “not me,” you’re not alone — and that’s completely okay! Cervix height is one of those things most of us don’t think about unless a doctor mentions it. It’s certainly not an everyday conversation, but knowing your cervix height and position can make a big difference when choosing and using menstrual discs or cups.
Your cervix is the narrow opening at the base of your uterus where your period flow is released. Understanding its height can help you select the right period cup or disc and insert it comfortably and correctly. Measuring it is simple: with clean hands, gently insert a finger into your vaginal canal until you feel something firm and round, like the tip of your nose. That’s your cervix! If you feel it after one knuckle, it’s low; after two knuckles, medium; after three or not at all, it’s high.
Your cervix can shift throughout your cycle, so the best time to check is at the beginning of your period. And remember — everybody is wonderfully unique. If you have questions or need guidance, Saalt Coaches are here for you at sayhey@saalt.com. No question is too much information!
