It’s October - a month that has become synonymous with an important cause: breast cancer awareness. Breast cancer is a ruthless and cruel foe. There would be few people who haven’t been affected in some way by this cancer choosing to target someone they know. Over the past decade, awareness has increased and with that so have advancements in detection and treatment - but it’s a long road. Until we find a cure, there will always be more to do and more awareness to build.
The Differences Between Silicone and TPE Menstrual Cups: We chose to make our Hello Cups from medical grade TPE, rather than silicone, to ensure our menstrual cups were fully hypoallergenic - but also recyclable.

Diameter – Regular Hello Cups
The Hello Cup comes in three sizes – XS (extra small), S/M (small/medium) and L (large or ‘lovely’).
Our XS cup is is our smallest, softest cup. It’s the perfect choice for teenagers, petite users or those who prefer a ‘mini’ tampon.
Our S/M is our ‘one size fits most’ menstrual cup. We recommend it for users under 35 – regardless of whether they have had children or not.
Our L is best for those over 35 who feel it’s a bit more roomy up there (possibly thanks to pushing out a small human or two). It’s worth noting that we find physically fit people are often best suited to the S/M regardless of age.
Diameter – Low Cervix Hello Cups
The diameter of the S/M is 41mm and the overall length (no toggle) is 43mm. It holds 21mls (to the holes). The diameter of the L is 45mm and the overall length (no toggle) is 49mm. It holds 28ml (to the holes). Drop us a line if you have any questions about sizing –hello@thehellocup.com.
Sometimes finding the best size for you can be a bit of trial and error. If you’re uncertain about what size to choose, our Hello CupDouble Boxis often a great choice. You’ll get two Hello Cups of your choice to find which one works best for you. Many find they can wear two sizes anyway and opt for a smaller sized Hello Cup on light days and a larger one on heavy days.
