This menstrual disc is so worth the money. You get two discs, one for heavy flow and one for normal to light flow. They are color coded, but you can obviously tell the size difference. For me they work perfectly.The rim is a lot softer than the Flex discs, as noted by other reviewers. This can affect the way you put them in at times. You have to make sure to keep them pinched in the center and make sure they remain on a straight course as you push them in. I've used mine for 3 cycles, and I've only had mine fold in twice. I simply removed it and started over. I did notice it happened on a very light days (the last days of my cycle) so I believe it only happened due to the dryness. You can add a little water or lubricant for those days if you have to.It's also amazing for heavy flows. I am on blood thinners, so my cycles are extremely heavy. Extremely. I can leave the larger one in for 8 to 12 hours with no problems. It self-empties when you go to the bathroom, so there's no overflow. I don't worry about a thing. I've slept in them with no problems ever. That's close to 21 nights with no leaks. I've even forgotten about them for hours (really, hours!) after I woke up and no problems.On the intimate front I've also had no issues at all. No jarring it out of place, no leaks, nothing. My husband said he felt it one night, but it's soft so it didn't bother him. He only mentioned it because I asked. I repositioned and no issues.When putting them in, I have found that it's easiest if I stand, place one foot on the toilet, and slightly squat while inserting the disc. Make sure to keep it pinched in the middle as you press it further in, and that it's angled toward your pelvis a bit. Allow it to slide back when your anatomy opens from the vaginal canal, then press the front up to finish the insertion. Everyone's anatomy is different, so if you have trouble at first, don't give up. Continue until you find the right position and insertion method for you.You do need to boil the discs before use, and periodically. I do boil mine before each cycle. When you remove and empty them, wash it before reinserting. That seems self-explanatory though.This is such a life and money saver! You won't have to buy box after box of tampons, pads, or the really expensive disposable discs. I'm mainly in it for the money and convenience of this product, but there's no waste to add to the environment with these! Buy them now!! I haven't tried the more expensive reusable discs, and I never will now that I have these. I was going to try these and just see before spending a lot on the other reusables. We are a one-income family, so I don't have the luxury to try something expensive and it not work. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I wish they did come with a hard case instead of this silky pouch, but I can find something better. I'm a DIY blogger, that's what I do lol. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm definitely going to make something. If you'd like to see what I come up with, you can find my blog Life as a LEO Wife. I don't know if I can place a link here, so you can just search the blog name, and you'll find me.
