Before making the switch

Menstrual discs can take a little practice.

Positive customer experiences can be reassuring, but fit and comfort vary between people. A realistic understanding of the learning process can help you decide whether a menstrual disc is right for you.

There may be a learning curve Some people feel confident immediately, while others need one or more cycles to become comfortable with insertion and removal.
Fit is individual Anatomy, cervix position and disc size can influence comfort, positioning and leak protection.
Leaks can happen while learning Correct positioning behind the pubic bone is important. Early leaks may indicate that the disc has not fully opened or been tucked into place.
IUD users need individual guidance Discuss internal period products with a qualified healthcare professional who understands your personal circumstances.
