What is a menstrual disc?

A menstrual disc works by collecting your period rather than soaking it up. Made from soft, flexible material, it sits comfortably inside the body and can be worn for up to 12 hours.

How to use step by step

It’s completely normal to be scared and need a couple of tries but our soft, easy-insert disc is designed to support you until it works for you.

01 - Sterilise the disc

Boil for 5 minutes on your first use

02 - Fold and insert

Fold by pinching the middle and insert by gliding it in

03 - Tuck it in

Tuck and let it unfold naturally behind the pubic bone

04 - Empty, rinse and reuse

Untuck the front rim and gently ease it out. No rush.

Practice makes perfect

Nobody gets it perfect on the first try. You’ll get the hang of it faster than you think and we’re right here to help you!

The first time

Expect a couple of tries. Start on a lighter day, relax your jaw/shoulders, and take your time. When it’s in right, you shouldn’t really feel it.

Getting the Hang of It

Now you’ll start to recognise what “right” feels like. You might try a different fold or angle, and that’s totally fine. You’ll notice it gets quicker and easier without you even thinking about it.

Feels Easy Now

By now, it’s second nature. Fewer checks, longer wear on lighter days, and way more peace of mind. Just remember to empty it at least every 12 hours and you’re good to go.

Still have questions?

📏 Will the menstrual disc even fit me?

Yes. Menstrual discs are soft and flexible and sit higher in the body, which means one size works for most people, regardless of cervix height or whether you’ve given birth.

⏳ How long can I wear the disc for?

You can wear it for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow. Most people empty it in the morning and before bed.

🤸‍♀️ Am i gonna feel uncomfortable?

No. you shouldn’t feel it when it’s positioned correctly. If you do feel pressure or discomfort, it usually means it just needs adjusting.

🧼 Are they hygienic?

Yes! Discs are made from medical-grade silicone and collect fluid internally, which helps reduce odour and keeps you feeling fresh.

🫧 How do I wash the disc?

Rinse with warm water and mild, unscented soap during your cycle. Sterilise it before and after each cycle for best hygiene. check out our full Wash Guide

💋 Can I still continue sexual activites whilst wearing the disc?

Yes! Because the disc sits behind the pubic bone, many people can have mess-free penetrative sex while wearing it.

♻️ Is the menstrual disc reusable?

Yes. With proper care and cleaning, one disc can be reused for several years.

🙋‍♀️ How does the menstrual disc work?

A menstrual disc sits just below your cervix, where it gently collects your menstrual flow instead of absorbing it. Depending on your flow, it can be worn for up to 12 hours before needing to be emptied, rinsed, and reinserted.
