This is a relevant questions, cos the position of your uterus affects the position of your cervix - they are different in different women.
The answer is likely to be yes, because the mooncup is held in place by the positions of everyones' ligaments and pelvic bones....Im not explaining that very well.
I think that if I were you, I'd still try it. And anyway, they offer a money-back guarantee!

Re: Mooncup update...
How long is it recommended to be left in?
Obviously there are capacity issues as well as some smaller risk of TSS than with tampons?
