r/MenstrualDiscs

While I could ramble on about it forever, I'm too lazy to turn this into a long post right now lol, but ever since switching from tampons to cups and then from cups to discs I have never been happier bleeding management wise.

My disc can't suction to my cervix and feel like it's ripping my uterus out when I remove it.

I can use toys and have strong orgasms from penetration with my disc in.

I can use it when I'm bleeding too little for a tampon and it won't hurt.

And I can be so comfortable.

For me personally, screw cups.

What's your FAVORITE thing about your disc?

Hey everyone! I have been using tampon for roughly 5 years and I’m ready to switch to something new. I’ve done some research on different period products and have settled on trying a menstrual disc. I’m curious, what brand do you all use/would recommend. I’ve heard a lot about both the reusable Flex and Saalt discs but am overall stumped on what to get. Let me know what advice you may have regarding new period products or brands :)

I have been using diva cup since 2019. I find it super easy to insert, super comfortable to be in, annoying to remove. no matter how short my nails & how careful I am, I always end up pinching myself. Other than that, it's great.

Earlier this year I had miscarriage & ever since I had empty the cup multiple times in day 2 & 3. Before this i only used to empty it after 12 hours.(I used their smaller size when it first came out & bought size 2 in 2023 after childbirth). I've heard that disc's empty when you pee so I'm hoping moving to a disc will solve my issue.

1. My question is after diva cup, which disc is easy to transition to?

2. Will i need an applicator? I don't know disc mechanics but cup had been super easy for me to insert.

3. Which one is easy to remove, not just what they advertise but something that is tried tested easy removal or a tool that is tried tested helps with removal?

4. Do all discs have self emptying mechanism?

5. & lastly Do they only empty when you pee? I subconsciously do kegals throughout the day, will relaxing muscles doing kegals will cause the disc to empty?
