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.

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.

Never going back! Buy this, watch tutorials to figure out how to place it and you’ll never go back either!Both sizes work but the large one auto dumps easily and the small one doesn’t because it fits a little better. I find that the large also needed to be readjusted back behind the pubic bone after going to the bathroom, but the small one truly makes me feel like I’m not on my period at all. No fiddling necessary and you can’t feel them at all.You have to learn that these go farther back than a tampon or a cup to get the hang of it, but it only took me 2 days to feel like a pro. I tried one before going to play volleyball on my second day and forgot a panty liner. I was very paranoid because it was a heavy flow day and my first period using a disc, but I had zero leaks. Zero.I only ever had an issue when I place the back of the disk too high and noticed leakage. When I removed it, the blood was on the wrong side of the disc, like I had put it in front of my cervix instead of under/behind it. This is supposed to sit in a totally different place than a tampon or a cup, so early on you may still not understand where that is until you give it a few tries or watch a few tutorials.The GREATEST thing about this is the comfort. Insertion of a CUP is flat out traumatic for me. I could insert it but there was no comfortable way for me to get the freaking thing to open. A friend said to run your finger around the edge and I just literally couldn’t do that because it hurt! If the cup did open, I could feel it all day long. Too much material, too bulky, too hard to remove. I always went back to tampons when I tried the cup. I THINK I must have a low cervix. They say to try a smaller cup, but they’re like $40 each, so no thanks. The DISC gets very narrow for insertion so it’s infinitely more comfortable and you cannot feel it at all.I agree that this disc rim can fold a bit when trying to push it back but again, just keep pinching it closed and you’re good to go.

I got the one large and one soft cup. I'm on day 2 of my cycle...bleeding heavily and I just inserted it. This is a very soft cup...that said insertion might be tricky for beginners. (It's unfortunate that ppl are downvoting this because they can't figure out how to insert it. It's a great product.) I recommend you run it under cold water to firm it up. With clean dry fingers insert behind your pubic bone until you get it comfortably in place. Slides in easier if things are slippery..e.g. flow is heavy... Be sure to use your kegel muscles to fully open cup so it adjusts internally to fit around your cervix and avoid leaks. I will update this later on as I'm currently wearing it to bed. Laying on a towel while sleeping on my back... no leaks so far.Updated aug 1st 2021So....it's everything I needed it to be. Absolutely no leaks.. very easy to clean. It is soft and can be a little more troublesome to insert if you are not familiar with using a disc. Don't let that deter you from purchasing. It takes practice. (After you use it twice you should be fine.) It is the best money I've ever spent for feminine hygiene care and I **highly** recommend especially for very heavy bleeding and clots. I could not feel it at all. I wore it to work and forgot to use a pantyliner and I didn't need it. No leaks on my heaviest days. Tmi: it didn't shift when I had a BM.. it is self emptying but makes a quiet noise similiar to a subtle squirting sound when you bear down. Buy it. No regrets.3rd and final update:I'm bleeding again. Feels like I just ended. Anyway... I'm cramping and decided to use this again during the night. I decided to not use any pain relievers and I don't need any. This minimized my cramping. It's been over 8 hours with no cramps or leaks. I can't get enough of how great this product is and want every woman to experience this. I uploaded a comparison of softness video. I hope it helps.

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'm 49 no kids and petite, i read many reviews that small could be a better fit but i'm glad i ordered the 2 size package because the large feels more secure against the pelvic bone when the small did not. it was tight and uncomfortable against bone when first put in but after moving around a bit i no longer felt it. watch a video to get an idea of putting it in, it's still hard for my head to wrap around how it actually works when it feels like it shouldn't but it has been mostly an improvement using a disc instead of cup with zero leaks so far. no stem to poke out. the only downside of disc compared to cup is as soon as i grab this lip to remove it drips it's contents out, i'm still learning perhaps. getting messy hands is no big deal to me but it could definitely be an issue if you don't have a sink right next to you, i do so not a big deal for me, guess i'll have to use a small bucket of water next to me when i change apartments. you can go all day so not necessary to change in public. i am going through peri menopause hell with increased bleeding days so i decided to try this. i prefer the more eco friendly and safer leave in on a busy day. no more wasted tampons that can stick when dry, just pop in for a "just in case situation"- love that! since the cup leaked on my beginning crazy heavy first days i supplemented with OB Ultra, i'm hoping this is a better alternative. will update after more use but so far this is a win.

i am a user of the disposable menstrual discs, which i love (i use the brand, flex). i love the idea of reusable and sanitary menstrual products, and these are the most reasonably priced anywhere, so i'm super happy to say that they totally work for me and i no longer have to spend any money on menstrual products!! yayy!!for reference, i'm 19, sexually active, and have never been pregnant. i have been using this product for about three or four period weeks, and i noticed that this specific product does have some drawbacks that i don't experience when using my disposable discs. one, the soft texture makes it a little more difficult to insert the disc. not impossible, however, so its all good! however, this soft disc does not stay in place during sexual intercourse. this causes a mess and discomfort to my partner as he feels it come out of place and go deeper into me. it takes some effort to fish it out afterward, but i never feel any discomfort in any part of the process. this is not a feature i experience with my disposable discs, and i think it might also have something to do with the size. this product comes with two sizes, but they're smaller and larger than the Flex brand menstrual discs that give me no problems.overall i love this product and i will stick with it! happy to support a small, family owned business and reduce my cotton waste! could not recommend more! <3

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!

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.

I was leery about purchasing since so many of the reviews said they were too soft to easily put in, and they are pretty soft, but it went in just fine! It folded on me the first time but I think it was because I stopped pinching it too early.. I got it the second try just fine though!I got the 2 pack large (same size as flex discs) and this size is perfect for me (24 and two vaginal births if that makes a difference?) I like these much better than the diva cup because they’re shorter and don’t sit in the canal, and they’re MUCH easier to insert! I have so much less cramping with these than tampons! I’ll definitely be ordering another set soon so I have plenty!I haven’t had any leaks so far, but will update this review if I have any issues later!

So, I was afraid to use this since me and the menstrual cup didn't work out.. But holy crap. This is a gamechanger. It way more comfortable then a cup. It easier to insert..Just make sure you keep it pinched together! But wow, if you insert it correctly and put it where it goes, it should not leak at all. I have a lighter period due to the pill I'm on, but this month it was a little more, and this held up beautifully. I expected it to leak, but it didnt. It isnt really all to hard to remove either. You just have to push down like using the restroom, and insert a finger to break the seal. Dump & clean it and you're good to go again! I wore mine all day, depending in your flow, it will hold for up to 12 hours.

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!

These are great reusable discs. Better than the cup because they last longer. Yes, they are not easy to use, but neither are the cups. I have searched and searched all over for good instructional videos or detailed instructions, and they all seem to copy each others words. I had better luck reading other people's reviews. It is quite a learning curb to get these to work right, but once you get it, there's no reason to use anything else. But these are very soft. Easy to forget they are there or that you are menstruating. No leaks. I also had less or no cramps since I've been using cups or discs. These came in a pair with a cute little bag, at a very reasonable price.

So, i made sure i bought this before i started my period. I don't care what anyone else says that is negative about this, because this works! Its a pain getting it situated just right, but MAN its worth the struggle! Had it in all day and kind of forgot i was on my period, until we got home that night. Didnt leak at all (again, it has to be situated behind the pelvic bone!) and the greatest part was it did not interfere with having sex! I was so scared it was going to leave a mess, but it didnt! So very happy I made this purchase, and just in time too!Good luck situating it, but do know, its worth the yoga practice lol!

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.
