Reusable Menstrual Disc, Wear Up to 12-Hours, Sustainable Period Disc Alternative to Menstrual Cups, Tampons and Pads for Light or Heavy Flows, Leak Proof - Small & Large Sizes

Updated review January 2025: Over a year on I’m still using these menstrual discs and I’ve recommended them to allll my friends. I’ve had no issues with leakage apart from the one instance I mentioned in my original review where my boyfriend accidentally dislodged it. They’re comfortable to wear (I often forget I have them in) and easy to clean, and although they’re more expensive than a pack of pads or tampons, by this point I’ve probably broken even. I’ve just seen another review which says they don’t last long, but this doesn’t reflect my experience so perhaps that person got a faulty product or has been a bit overzealous while cleaning (I scrub mine quite vigorously with soap before sterilising though). The fact these come as a two-pack is great as you can remove one, put the other in and clean and sterilise the first one so it’s ready for when you change it later. I can go to the toilet as normal without worrying about pushing this out or any part of it getting contaminated. I have also used them while swimming, and basically I can live my life totally as normal while wearing the disc. Can’t recommend them enough. I would love to gift these to my more eco-conscious friends or friends who struggle with pads and tampons, but I think people might find it to be a weird gift. Luckily a few of my friends have already followed my recommendation and are equally happy with the discs. Just buy them! You won’t regret it. Original review September 2023: I love these! I’ve been intrigued about menstrual discs for a while and I was going to buy the nixit disc which I think is about £40, but I had put it off for a long time as I was worried I might hate it. I have tried a menstrual cup (the moon cup) in the past and I really didn’t get on with it, I found it too stiff so it was uncomfortable to wear, and because cups rely on suction I found it really difficult to remove and was put off from ever using it again. This experience made me wonder if I would have a similar experience with discs but I wanted something more sustainable than tampons. When I saw these at about £26 for a pack of two I decided they would be a good way to try a disc without wasting too much money if it’s not for me. I’m 28 (soon to be 29) and have never been pregnant or given birth. I first tried the smaller size, which did leak but I think that’s because my boyfriend dislodged it because he was intrigued about what it was and how it fits in etc. The next day I was keen to try again so I tried the larger size, which did feel a bit bigger inside me at first, but once I relaxed I couldn’t feel it at all. They’re easy to remove with the little finger loop - the instruction say you can cut this off if you find it uncomfortable, but I can’t see how it would cause discomfort and I also think it it would make it more difficult to remove the disc. I also think that seeing the blood collected in the cup rather than it being absorbed by a pad or a tampon makes me feel more in tune with my body as I have a real sense of how heavy my flow is which I never really did before. I was kinda surprised! Additionally, we have tested the claim that you can use these to have mess free period sex and were pleasantly surprised! There was no sign of me being on my period, although my boyfriend said he could feel the disc but that it wasn’t too bad. I wanted to give them a good trial before I left the review, so I’m currently on my second period since getting them and I can confidently say I have no plans of going back to tampons. I haven’t used pads since I was in school, which is actually very risky behaviour on my part as it means that I usually use tampons overnight which promotes the risk of toxic shock syndrome. However it’s safe to use a menstrual disc overnight so this is an additional benefit. I originally thought it was kinda annoying that they come in a pack of two sizes, but both sizes work for me so that’s actually fine. My original plan was to try these first before trying the nixit disc, but I get on with these so well and they’re such good value for money, I really don’t see the point in spending almost double the amount on a single cup when I can get two for this price. Absolutely cannot fault this product; at the end of its lifespan I’m likely to buy the same product from the same brand again, and if I were to lose or damage them I wouldn’t hesitate to repurchase. A note on cleaning: I understand that if I were to sterilise this in a pan, the very act of sterilising it means that I’m not contaminating the pan. However, I don’t really like the idea of potentially cooking for myself, my boyfriend, friends and family in a pan which I’ve used to clean a menstrual product. I bought a little electric steam steriliser from amazon for about £20 which works well. I remove the disc, empty it into the toilet or shower (depending on where I am when I removed it) then clean it in either the shower or sink with shower gel or handwash. Then I use the steriliser I bought. You can buy sterilisers which are just a collapsible silicone container that you fill with water, pop your disc or cup in, and microwave. I would have bought one of these but we don’t own a microwave. If your disc has an unpleasant odour once you’ve washed and sterilised it, you may have something going on down there (I wasn’t aware I had BV the first time I used my discs. I used hydrogen peroxide to get rid of the odour and I have been fine this period after treating the BV - no unpleasant odours)

Absolutely brilliant. Can't feel it, no leaks as long as it's positioned correctly which is very easy. I have used period cups for 8 years and always had leaking, never properly sussed it out. But this disc is brilliant, it's soft and easy to position. 100% recommend. Wish I'd found it years earlier instead of carrying on with the leaky cups. It is messy to empty, you will need a sink handy, but I only hav to dp thos once a day instead of the 5+ times I was with a cup.

I love the idea of these, but I think maybe for me it's simply too soft. I violently bled through a couple times, didn't seem like the disc was even in the same postcode when it happened. I think it got warm and extra soft, as it already is quite soft, and me moving around a lot made it shift a little and with the pressure of the contents it just couldn't hold up and it all came out at once. Disaster. I haven't had kids and I do my exercises, but the disc still moves around a bit for me. Feels like it doesn't have much structural integrity when it gets warm. It was easy to get in place and to get out again, thanks to the pull tab. If you have any cup or tampon experience this operation should be more than doable. Would love to try another make that maybe has a firmer ring, as I would much rather fight a little to get it out of me than have it empty itself and flop around because it's too soft for me. I would return this if I could, I will not use it again as it just doesn't offer me any more security than the cup. It does however feel like a good quality product, nice colour, and the carry pouch is great.

My feelings on these are somewhat mixed. On one hand, these do work. They come in smart colours and the material is soft and flexible making them comfortable to wear. I also really appreciate the cases for protecting them - the fact that they are made of the same flexible material as the cups makes them easy to clean and sterilise. However, I have found them more prone to leaking than a traditional style of menstrual cup. In addition, they have been much messier to remove - I have definitely needed to have immediate access to a sink when using them. It might be that the shape of these are just not suited to my shape (as I can see from other reviews that there are plenty of people that aren’t having the same issues and that really like them!) so this review is really just a gentle warning that it isn’t a given that these will work for you, even if they are a good product.

This product has been LIFE CHANGING! DISC - AMAZING! - You can use it for 12 HOURS. - You can be on the beach not worrying if there is a string coming out of your binikis. - You do not need to worry about where you will change the tampon, or if there is a restaurant near by. - There is NO MESS what so ever, it DOESN'T LEAK. - The disc DOESN'T EFFECT YOU'RE CRAMPS at all. - There is a small learning curve of insertion but you'll have it down in 3 tries. You just need to figure out the correct size for you (the majority of women have M-L, while S is very rare). - The only thing you need to do is BOIL BEFORE monthly USE. - After 12h you empty the cup, wash it with water and reinsert it. - It's very COMFORTABLE, EASY TO USE AND SIMPLY AMAZING BECAUSE I DO NOT NEED TO DEAL WITH IT. - And additionally, it's GREAT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. - I used to be very irritated due to menstrual products during my period, I hated needing to deal with it, the feeling of it, the insertion etc., but this really changed my life, my mood, my irritability. I FEEL MORE CALM, AND AT PEACE DURING MY PERIOD BECASUE OF THIS DISC. Product is exactly like the pictures. Pads - made me rash with the perfumes and I felt like i'm wearing a diaper. If ona. heavier flow, sometimes you would have some blood spill over during the night, whihc doesn't happen with discs. Tampons - you can't have them in for more than 3 h, and they cause cramps and the possibility of TSS. Reuasble pads - while they are nicer for the skin, good for the environment, they move around and I still feel like wearing a diaper. Also, you need to wash them and if you tarvel around that's a bit hard sometimes, but still doable. Cup - I though that would be the bets option, since you can use it for longer periods of time and can swim with it, it eneded up being horrible for me. I hated the process of inserting and it usually hurt, I hated the vacum, and even though I cut the steem, I could still feel it. All in all it was really not nice at all for me.

Love it! It’s so comfortable and better than the last one I had. It’s very good that it comes in 2 different size so you can use the one you need depending on how much you bleed. Will recommend this to everyone I know! Just remember that you can have fun with these and the guy will not mind it because they can barley feel it

Die Menstruations-Disc hat mich wirklich positiv überrascht und ist für mich eine tolle Alternative zur Menstruationstasse. Sie sitzt bequem und sicher und verrutscht absolut nicht, was mir im Alltag und auch beim Sport ein gutes Gefühl gibt. Besonders praktisch finde ich, dass sie sich beim Toilettengang teilweise von selbst entleert – das macht die Nutzung unglaublich unkompliziert und spart das häufige Entfernen und Einsetzen. Ein kleiner Tipp: Beim Herausnehmen empfehle ich, das auf der Toilette im Sitzen zu tun, da sich hier meist noch etwas Blut löst. Aber mit ein wenig Übung klappt das auch schnell und problemlos. Insgesamt bin ich wirklich begeistert – die Disc ist eine zuverlässige, komfortable Lösung für die Periode und eine echte Empfehlung!

First time trying m disc, used m cups for a long time now and definitely some getting used to. I thought the large size would suit me because of my experience with cups and needing it for my flow. However I feel like the large is that little bit too big and small fits well but doesn't hold enough. I would love a medium size I think that would be perfect. Besides that, the quality of the discs is great! Love the colours and the cases that come with

Ho aspettato a recensire il disco mestruale perché volevo provarlo per qualche mese. L'ho acquistato soprattutto per rispettare l'ambiente, essendo riutilizzabile, quindi ecologico. A mia sorella ho regalato la versione L (ha partorito qualche anno fa) mentre io utilizzo la S. Mia sorella lo riempie in pochissime ore quindi non lo trova affidabile per il suo flusso abbondante. Io invece per fortuna ho il ciclo poco abbondante quindi riesco a tenere il disco fino a 12 ore. Le prime volte non riuscivo a inserirlo e avevo soprattutto difficoltà a toglierlo perché mi facevo un po' male, poi ho capito che dovevo rilassare i muscoli e l'operazione è diventata più semplice e quasi indolore. All'interno non si sente, si rischia di dimenticare di averlo, infatti io mi segno sempre i promemoria sullo smartphone per ricordarmi di svuotarlo!!! A inizio ciclo va sterilizzato facendolo bollire in acqua bollente per qualche minuto (io lo faccio bollire 7 minuti). Personalmente lo sterilizzo anche alla fine del ciclo, in modo da riporlo perfettamente pulito nella sua custodia in dotazione. Durante il ciclo quando lo svuoto e lo lavo con il detergente intimo delicato, sciacquandolo sotto l'acqua caldissima. Certo se si sta fuoricasa per l'intera giornata risulta scomodo poterlo svuotare e lavare, mantenendo il giusto grado di igiene. La sensazione di indossare il disco e non l'assorbente esterno, è formidabile, perché ci si sente asciutte e pulite; poi con questo caldo l'assorbente esterno è insopportabile (eppure l'ho usato per 30 anni, soffrendo molto). L'anno scorso avevo comprato la coppetta mestruale taglia S, provata un paio di volte, era difficilissimo per me inserirla ed era complicatissimo nonché doloroso toglierla, perché fa effetto suzione all'interno, e poi era scomodo il cordone che usciva. I classici tampax li ho usati poco e per me sono scomodi. Questo disco ha decisamente cambiato in meglio il modo in cui affronto il ciclo mestruale, per la sensazione di pulizia e benessere e anche per il fatto che è riutilizzabile per anni, quindi è ecologico rispetto agli assorbenti e ai tampax. Lo consiglio vivamente
