I've been using menstrual cups for ten years andnloved them. For whatever reason, a few months ago they started leaking BAD. I'd never had that issue before. These discs were on sale so I gave them a try. It's absolute LOVE. I can't recommend them enough. They're better than cups and I'll never go back.Cups can be difficult to place because you have to get them around the cervix, so if your cervix is high or tilted, they won't work. These discs block the entire canal, so placement is a snap once you get used to it. I find that sliding it in place almost laterally to the floor and the tucking the front under the public bone, rather than angling it upward, is the trick, at least for me.You do have to be somewhat comfortable with fishing around in your hooha and dealing with blood, but that all becomes second nature.I have only used the larger size because my flow tends to be heavy, I'm over 40 and have had two babies, and I rarely leak.I LOVE that I can empty it by just leaning forward and squeezing! It makes having my cycle so easy. I take it out and wash it twice daily, once in the shower and once just in the sink.Do get the washing product because it can get stinky if you don't wash it with some kind of cleaner. I use Lume body wash because I already have it and it won't mess up my internal ph.I got the cold that's going around that comes with a bad cough and had to wear a pad during the worst of is as the coughing dislodged the disc. So be warned, that's a thing.All in all, I can't recommend this product enough!

I was hesitant to try it and the possible mess rather than the easy throw away we’ve all known so long. But after wearing it for ~6mo this is actually amazing!!! I got a large after having 2 kids and my flow increasing. It fits well and holds enough for at least 12hours. When you go to the bathroom it empties itself, if you need to can absorb and wipe clean with toilet paper in a pinch and replace but there are additional items to purchase like collapsible wash containers to fill with water before going in a bathroom stall too should you need. I have severe cramps and this has helped curb it with the pressure where the disc gets placed. Truly a money saver, time saver, and stress/worry free. If your worried you can wear a liner to start but it’s worth the switch.

it does what's supposed to do, no issues on applying/ using and great price. I highly recommend I always do my research on the products I buy here on Amazon so I recommend you do the same there are many brands that offer the same products so be aware.

I have a flex cup but they only have one size so I use these towards the end of my period. They work great they are a bit thinner so they may be a bit challenging if you aren’t used to discs but if you are these would be a great addition.

So, I’m old. I’m 45 and just when I thought I might be done with periods, they’ve decided to become more regular! Albeit pretty light. Anyway, finally I tried these at the urging of my 26 yr old daughter. Weird right? Yep. Seems dumb to buy anymore tampons though. So if you’re on the fence just do it! You can’t beat the price. It’s hard to describe, and there are some things we DON’T talk about, but the comfort/freedom of life with no string…it’s good. Tiniest learning curve RE: installation/removal. Buy these. You’ll be glad you did.

I have a high cervix and I had no problems. It’s soft and comfortable and even works during sex. My man’s packing large and reaches my cervix and he said it was comfortable I got the large. There was no mess! We love it!

I love that it comes in a set of 2. It works great for leaks, but I don't get the easy dumping function like the Flex disc and I found it difficult to remove for the first 3 days. The edge is thick, but hard to grasp for removal. Good for the low price, but takes some time to "break in".

The only issue I had was putting it in at first. But once I got the hang of it, it wasn't so bad. It's so much better than tampons or pads! My skin has always been sensitive to pads and tampons have never been comfortable or really worked for my flow... this suits my needs better.

No longer have to buy other products

So amazing!! Can have mess free period sex like WOW!!! No yucky pee soaked string no more! Can leave in for hours and hours then I pull out in shower it’s awesome !!

I have used this for 3 cycles now. One time I was at Disney, it was great that I could put it in the day I thought my period would arrive with no worries. It ended up coming a day late but because it's silicon it did not dry me out and there was no worry of infection. When it did arrive the following day I didn't even know until I pulled the cup out right before bed. So for me I am able to leave it in for over 12 hours with no leaks! Incredible. Removing it can be a little weird getting use to. Also if you have a heavy period it might be hard to use in a public restroom to be able to pull it out clean it and reinsert. I have always taken mine out at home or a hotel. I would 100% recommend to a friend!

I like these overall but they aren’t as good as the flex disc reusables. I will keep them to use as backups but they aren’t as flexible or easy to use and remove as flex ones.

I have very happily used the Instead cup (now Softdisc) for years. The set I'd been boiling forever was starting to develop cracks in the rim, so I decided to try something more officially reusable. I don't like the idea of a cup with a stem after using the disc style for so long, so I decided to give these a try. I chose the small/large set so I could see which worked better. I've used them for several cycles now, and am overall satisfied, but they are more difficult to use than the Softcup.I am in my 40s, and have had several kids vaginally. I'd say my flow is moderate (fairly heavy but not excessively so for the first two days, light after that). I find myself mostly sticking with the small, so age and childbirth status don't seem to have as much to do with size choice as with some other cups.As with the Softcup, I change it about every two hours on my heavy days, but can go much longer the rest of the cycle. I find the small easier to insert because it doesn't fold up as much, and since I prefer to rinse it every time I use the toilet when practical, holding a ton isn't my biggest priority. I would probably use the large if I were out of the house on my heavy days, especially if restroom/cleaning access was questionable.The Softcup occasionally leaked when something shifted things up internally. These seem less prone to that. In the several months I've been using them, I've had one leak, and I can't really even blame the cup for that. It was the small cup, I'd had it in for 12 hours overnight on my heaviest day, and I had totally forgotten my period even existed and was just going about my day. That's never happened before. So really, that speaks to the comfort more than anything.This staying in place does mean they don't "self-empty" when urinating, as people claim with the Softcups. Not a capability I personally used much, but I know it's a big deal for a lot of people.Because these are less rigid, I find them much harder to insert than the Softcup - they tend to just fold around the cervix rather than covering it. With the Softcup, I basically just had to push it back behind the pubic bone, and it would be in place. With these, I have to hook my finger into the far end of it and use it to push the far end over and behind the cervix, if that makes sense. You definitely need to feel comfortable poking around up inside. Removing can also be a bit more of a struggle. But you get used to it.The ridges around the rim of the cup tend to get stuff stuck in them and are kind of annoying to clean.I have not tried these during sex. I'm sure they would work fine, but they seem like they would be more noticeably there than the Softcup - the cup of the Softcup is cellophane-thin, while these are much thicker.

This disc is amazing. I received it 3 days before my period ended, used the large one (when I probably could have gotten away with the smaller one) for 2 days and then the small one on my last day. This is my second type of disc I’ve used and I prefer this one over the store bought one I tried awhile ago. This one being reusable is wonderful on our planet and your wallet! Way cheaper. And way cheaper than flex too. The material is soft and the rim is softer which I personally like better than the hard rims BUT you do need to figure out how to maneuver it so you can get it in the correct place. Cold water did help for me (I read previous reviews.) once you figure out how to stiffen it and place it it’s heaven sent. So comfortable I forgot about them. They do self empty so I kept checking it not trusting it, but never actually needed to!! Also when removing I definitely recommend what previous reviews said about pushing down on it from inside like you’re pushing for a poop, and then pulling it out. WAY easier. Just some little learning curves and tricks to really utilize this and appreciate it. I’m SO pleased with this, especially because of the price for it and will be ordering more!

Still prefer my cup over the disk ... Maybe just need more time or maybe I need to try a different brand.. just the goal is to get through the day without leaks and messes.
