Frequently Asked Questions About Our Menstrual Disc
1. About the Menstrual Disc
What is a menstrual disc?
A menstrual disc is a flexible and reusable menstrual product that is placed high in the vaginal canal. Instead of absorbing fluid like tampons or pads, the disc collects menstrual blood in a soft and shallow bowl. This bowl shapes naturally to your body and stays in place by tucking behind the pubic bone. It feels natural and allows for plenty of freedom of movement.
Many users find a disc comfortable because it protects for up to twelve hours without needing to be changed. The product is made of medical-grade silicone and lasts for years, allowing you to produce less waste and choose a more sustainable option. It's a great choice if you're looking for freedom, comfort, and reliability during your period.
How does a menstrual disc work?
A menstrual disc works by tucking behind the pubic bone. Once inserted, the disc forms to your body automatically. It does not require suction, which makes it more comfortable for many people. The disc collects menstrual blood in the wide bowl-shaped base and stays stable during everyday activities such as walking, working, or sleeping.
The disc can hold more fluid than most cups, allowing for longer wear without leaking. After wearing it, you simply remove the disc, empty it, and clean it. The use quickly becomes routine—after a few cycles most people find their preferred technique. This makes your period feel calmer and more practical.
What is the difference between a menstrual disc and a menstrual cup?
The biggest difference is where the products sit and how they feel. A menstrual cup sits lower in the vagina and stays in place through suction. This can sometimes cause pressure or discomfort. A menstrual disc sits higher and tucks behind the pubic bone without suction. Because of this, many users find a disc lighter and less noticeable.
In addition, a disc generally has a larger capacity. This makes it ideal for heavy flows or long days when you don’t want to change often. Another important difference is that you can have sex while wearing a disc—you don’t need to remove it. This makes the disc a popular alternative for those who value comfort and freedom.
Will I feel the disc while wearing it?
A properly placed menstrual disc should not interfere with your daily activities. Because it sits higher and does not create suction, most people don’t feel it at all. You can walk, sit, exercise, and sleep without being aware of it. Comfort is one of the main reasons why many users never want to go back to tampons or pads.
If you do feel it, it usually means it isn’t fully tucked behind the pubic bone. A small adjustment in your insertion technique can help. After a few tries, the disc becomes almost unnoticeable and your period feels much more comfortable.
2. Use, Insertion and Autodumping
How do I insert a menstrual disc?
Inserting a menstrual disc can take a bit of practice, but after a few cycles it usually feels natural. Start with clean hands and gently press the disc together so it becomes narrow. Relax your pelvic floor muscles and insert the disc while pointing it toward your tailbone. This ensures the right angle.
Once the disc is fully inside, tuck the front edge behind the pubic bone. You will often feel when it’s correctly placed, as the product sits comfortably and lightly. Take your time and try different positions such as squatting or placing one leg on the bathtub edge. You’ll soon find the position that works best for you.
How do I remove a menstrual disc?
Removing a menstrual disc is easiest when you are relaxed. Sit or squat in a comfortable position and insert a finger until you feel the rim or the removal tab. Hook your finger under it and slowly pull the disc forward. Keep the disc level so you stay in control of the fluid.
Take your time and breathe calmly. Most users find that removal becomes easier over time as they get used to the motion. Rinse the disc with cold water and clean it with a suitable product before reinserting it. This keeps the process hygienic and comfortable.
How does autodumping work?
Autodumping is a helpful feature that allows the disc to empty itself during a toilet visit. The disc sits high behind the pubic bone, and when you sit on the toilet, your pelvic floor muscles change position. This change can tilt the disc slightly, allowing the menstrual blood to flow into the toilet.
Afterwards, the disc returns to its original position once you stand up. This makes your period much more practical because you don’t need to remove and clean the disc as often during the day. It’s especially helpful for heavy flows or busy days.
How do I use autodumping correctly?
For autodumping to work properly, the disc must be correctly placed. It should be fully open and tucked securely behind the pubic bone. During a toilet visit, simply sit down and let your body naturally shift into the position that activates autodumping. You don’t need to do anything extra and you don’t touch the disc.
Some users find that a slightly squatting position enhances the effect. It’s a matter of finding what works best for your body. When autodumping works well, your period feels much less like a hassle, giving you more freedom throughout the day.
What should I do if the disc doesn’t sit correctly right away?
It’s completely normal if the disc doesn’t sit perfectly the first few times. Every body is different, and finding the right technique can take a little time. If you experience leaking, it usually means the disc isn’t fully tucked behind the pubic bone or hasn’t opened completely.
Try different insertion positions and take your time to relax. A gentle rotating motion can help the disc open fully. During your first cycles, wearing menstrual underwear as backup can help you feel more confident. After some practice, most users find that the disc sits comfortably and leak-free.
3. Leak-Free Menstruation and Comfort
Does a menstrual disc leak more easily than a cup?
A properly placed menstrual disc does not leak more easily than a cup. Many people actually experience the opposite, because a disc typically has a larger capacity and sits higher in the body. It fits gently against the vaginal walls and collects blood in a wide bowl without pressure or suction. This creates a calm, even collection without discomfort.
If you experience leaking, it’s usually a sign that the disc isn’t fully tucked behind the pubic bone or hasn’t opened completely. This is common during the first uses when you’re still getting familiar with the product. A few small adjustments to how you insert it will usually fix the issue. After some practice, many users find the disc the most stable option for busy days or heavier flows.
What should I do if I leak during the first uses?
Leaking during your first cycles is common and doesn’t mean the disc isn’t right for you. Your body is adjusting to a new product, and you’re learning which techniques and positions work best. If you leak, it often means the disc isn’t fully tucked behind the pubic bone. Even a few millimeters can make a difference.
Take your time during insertion and try different positions, such as squatting, lifting one leg, or inserting under a warm shower. Many users prefer using menstrual underwear as backup during the first cycles for extra confidence. After one to three cycles, most people know how their body responds and find the disc stable and leak-free.
Can a menstrual disc cause cramps?
Most users experience fewer cramps with a menstrual disc compared to tampons or cups. This is because the disc does not rely on suction and sits higher in the body. It follows the natural shape of the vaginal canal and does not create pressure. Many people find this smoother and more relaxing, making their period feel less intense.
If you do feel cramping, check whether the disc is positioned correctly. If it presses against the cervix, it can cause discomfort. A slight adjustment is usually enough to restore comfort. When placed correctly, most people find that they barely notice the disc and feel more at ease during their period.
Can the disc shift during daily activities?
A properly placed disc stays securely behind the pubic bone during a wide range of activities. Whether you walk, work, swim, dance, or exercise, the disc moves naturally with your body without shifting out of place. This is one of the reasons many users find the disc so freeing.
If you feel it has moved slightly, it’s usually because it wasn’t fully tucked behind the pubic bone during insertion. This can happen if you were in a rush or your muscles were tense. With calm insertion and proper relaxation, the disc stays perfectly in place—making your period feel much less intrusive.
4. Sex, Sports and Daily Life
Can I have sex while wearing a menstrual disc?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of a menstrual disc. Because it sits high behind the pubic bone, the rest of the vaginal canal remains free. This allows you to have penetrative sex without removing the disc. Many users find this incredibly freeing, especially if they previously skipped sexual activity during their period.
The disc usually stays in place during sex. It may shift slightly, but this is not dangerous or painful. The cervix is a small, firm opening, so the disc cannot be pushed further inside the body. After sex, your body returns to its natural position and the disc settles back into place. If you'd like to check its position afterward, you can make a small adjustment. It feels surprisingly hygienic and freeing to have this option during your period.
Can the disc be pushed in too far?
No, a menstrual disc cannot be pushed in too far. The cervix is a firm, tiny opening that does not allow objects like discs to pass through. The disc always stays in the vaginal canal and cannot go beyond the limits of natural anatomy. Even during sex or intense movement, your body maintains this safety barrier.
If the disc feels slightly higher than usual, that’s completely fine. You can always reach it by relaxing your body and gently inserting a finger. When your muscles relax, the disc naturally comes closer. This gives users confidence and reassurance when moving freely throughout the day.
Can I exercise, dance or swim with a disc?
A menstrual disc is ideal for active days. Because it sits high and doesn’t rely on suction, it stays securely in place even during intense exercise. Whether you run, dance, swim, or do a workout, the disc moves naturally with your body without being felt. It offers peace of mind so you don't have to keep checking if you need to change.
Many users find the comfort during sports even greater than with tampons or cups. The disc presses against nothing and stays flexible. Swimming is comfortable too, because the product sits completely internally and does not absorb water. This makes the disc a great choice for people who don’t want their menstrual cycle to interfere with their active lifestyle.
Is the disc suitable for sleeping and long days?
Yes, the disc is perfect for long days when you don’t have time to change often. Its high capacity allows up to twelve hours of wear, making it ideal for nights when you want to sleep through without worrying about leaks. Many users notice their mornings feel calmer because they don’t need to rush to change menstrual products.
During travel, work, festivals, or long school days, the disc offers incredible convenience. You spend less time thinking about your period, which feels freeing. Whether your day is active or varied, the disc adapts discreetly to your body and movements. For many people, this is why they never return to disposable products after getting used to a disc.
5. Safety and Health
Can I use a menstrual disc with an IUD?
Yes, a menstrual disc is safe to use with an IUD. The disc does not rely on suction, so it does not pull on the IUD strings. This reduces the risk of your IUD shifting. The disc sits higher behind the pubic bone, far away from where the strings begin—giving users peace of mind.
It’s important to remove the disc slowly and carefully. Hook your finger under the rim and pull it forward gently, without touching the strings. If you’re unsure, you can always have your IUD checked by a doctor. In practice, nearly everyone with an IUD can use a disc without any issues.
Is the disc suitable for teenagers?
Yes, a menstrual disc can be suitable for teenagers, especially if they’re looking for a comfortable and sustainable alternative to tampons or pads. The disc is flexible and shapes to the body, often feeling more comfortable than expected. It may take some practice at first, but once the technique becomes familiar, many teens find the disc a great and reliable option.
For younger users, size M is usually the most comfortable option because it’s smaller and feels less noticeable. It can help to practice in a relaxed environment and wear menstrual underwear as backup. The disc offers teens freedom during school, sports, and social activities, helping them feel more confident during their period.
Can I use the disc if I have a weak pelvic floor?
Yes, in most cases this is not a problem. People with a weak pelvic floor often find that size L fits better because the larger diameter provides more stability. The disc doesn’t rely on suction and doesn't apply downward pressure, which many users find more comfortable. This makes the disc a great option for those sensitive to pelvic pressure.
The most important thing is placing the disc correctly behind the pubic bone. Take your time during insertion and try different positions. Many users with a weaker pelvic floor find that the disc actually provides a sense of ease, as it sits high and is barely noticeable. For extra reassurance, you can always consult a pelvic therapist or our customer service.
6. Choosing a Size and Measuring Your Cervix
Which menstrual disc size should I choose?
Choosing the right size greatly improves comfort and leak-free use. In many cases, size M is perfect for those with a low cervix or a light to normal flow. Size L is ideal for higher cervixes, heavier flows, or if you’ve given birth vaginally. The size mainly determines how stable and comfortable the disc sits.
A properly fitting disc should feel like nothing at all. If you’re unsure, start with the size that best matches your situation and switch if it doesn’t feel right. Thanks to our 60-day guarantee, you can try sizes risk-free until you find the one that truly fits your body.
How do I measure the height of my cervix?
Measuring your cervix height helps determine which disc size will feel most comfortable. Wash your hands and get into a relaxed position, such as squatting or sitting on the toilet. Gently insert a clean finger until you feel your cervix. The cervix feels firm and round, similar to the tip of your nose.
If you only need to insert your finger a short distance, you likely have a low cervix, which often pairs well with size M. If your finger goes deeper before touching anything, you may have a higher cervix—size L typically fits better. It’s normal if it takes a few tries to understand what you're feeling. Take your time and trust that your body will guide you.
Can I choose a size without measuring?
Yes, absolutely. Not everyone feels comfortable measuring their cervix, and that’s perfectly fine. If you prefer to choose without measuring, look at your menstrual pattern. For light to medium flows, size M usually works very well. For heavier flows, longer cycles, or after vaginal birth, size L often provides more stability.
If your first size doesn’t feel perfect, that’s no problem. You may switch sizes during the guarantee period so you always end up with the disc that suits you best. This makes the process low-pressure and easy.
Which size is suitable after giving birth vaginally?
After one or more vaginal births, the shape and space in your pelvic area may change. Many people find that size L feels more comfortable and stable. Its larger diameter helps keep the disc in place and provides a sense of security, especially if smaller products tend to shift.
Always listen to your body—if size M feels good, you can absolutely use it. But in most cases, size L provides more reliability after giving birth. Thanks to the guarantee period, you can try both sizes at ease if needed.
7. Cleaning, Maintenance and Lifespan
How do I clean a menstrual disc?
Cleaning a menstrual disc is simple and keeps it safe and fresh for reuse. During your period, empty the disc into the toilet and rinse it with cold water. Cold water helps remove blood residue more easily. Then gently clean it with a mild soap suitable for medical silicone. Avoid hot water during this step because it can cause blood to clot.
After your period, it’s important to sterilize the disc by boiling it in water or using an appropriate sterilizer. This removes bacteria and keeps the disc in ideal condition. Proper cleaning extends the lifespan and ensures safe use each cycle.
Which products can I use and which should I avoid?
Not all cleaning products are suitable for a menstrual disc. Because the disc is made of medical-grade silicone, you should avoid harsh or aggressive ingredients. Products containing alcohol, perfume, oils, or bleach can damage or dry out the silicone. This affects flexibility and long-term safety.
Instead, use a mild, fragrance-free cleaner that’s specifically designed for cups and discs. Many users prefer a gentle foam cleanser for menstrual products because it protects the material while safely removing bacteria. Water with a bit of mild soap is also fine as long as the disc is rinsed thoroughly. Using proper products keeps your disc hygienic and comfortable.
How often should I sterilize the disc?
You don’t need to sterilize the disc every time you empty it during your period. Rinsing with cold water and cleaning with mild soap is enough for reinsertion. Sterilize the disc mainly at the start and end of each menstrual cycle to keep it fully clean and bacteria-free.
You can boil the disc for a few minutes in a pot of water or use an electric sterilizer. Many people prefer a sterilizer because it handles the whole process automatically. Regular sterilization keeps the silicone flexible and extends the lifespan of the disc.
8. Costs, Sustainability and Savings
How much money do I save yearly compared to tampons and pads?
A menstrual disc can lead to significant yearly savings. Many people use around 260 tampons or more than 300 pads per year. Depending on the brand and how often you need to change, this can cost around a hundred euros annually. Since disposable products can only be used once, this is a recurring cost every year.
A menstrual disc lasts for years and has no monthly replacement costs. After purchasing it once, you’re set for a long time. This lowers your expenses considerably and you’ll notice the savings within a few months. Besides the financial benefit, it also brings peace of mind as you no longer need to purchase new products every month.
Is a menstrual disc more sustainable than disposable products?
Yes, absolutely. A menstrual disc is designed to last for years and replaces hundreds of disposable tampons and pads. By choosing a reusable product, you significantly reduce the amount of waste you produce during your period. This not only feels good personally but also contributes to a cleaner environment.
Additionally, the disc is made from high-quality medical-grade silicone that remains safe for long-term use. You won’t need to buy or throw away products every month. Many users find comfort in knowing their choice benefits both their body and the planet. Switching to a reusable product gives a sense of freedom and awareness.

How does the 60-day guarantee work?
We understand that your body needs time to get used to a new menstrual product. That’s why we offer a satisfaction guarantee that gives you enough time to try it properly. You order the disc through our website and try it for at least one full cycle. If you’re still unsure, you can contact our customer service within 30 days after that cycle for tips and support. Often a small adjustment makes a big difference.
After that, you try the disc for a second cycle. If after two cycles and our support you’re still not satisfied, you can file a claim within 30 days after your second cycle. You will receive a different size or a refund depending on your order. A few conditions apply, such as it being your first purchase and having tested the disc seriously. This keeps the guarantee fair for everyone while giving you plenty of time to discover whether the disc suits your body.
Can I return the disc if it doesn’t work for me?
Yes, you can, but we work with clear and transparent conditions. The trial period is meant to test whether the disc suits your body physically. That’s why we ask you to use the disc for at least one cycle and contact us for tips if you’re unsure. Only if you’re still not satisfied after two cycles and our guidance, you can file a warranty claim within 30 days after your second period.
Depending on your order, you’ll receive a new size or a refund. If you purchased two identical discs during a promotion and opened both, one disc will be refunded fully and the other at 50%. Unused products with a sealed inner packaging can be fully refunded, sometimes with a small deduction if repackaging is required. This way, we keep the process fair and sustainable for both you and us.
