PUTTING IT IN
PINCH. SLIDE. TUCK.
Before first use, boil your disc for 4–5 minutes and let it cool. Wash your hands before handling it.
Pinch the rim
Bring the sides together to make the disc narrow for insertion, with the retrieval stem towards the front.
Slide back
Guide it gently towards your tailbone so the collection basin sits beneath the cervix.
Tuck the front
Tuck the front rim behind the pubic bone. It should sit comfortably; adjust if needed rather than forcing it.
TAKING IT OUT
UNTUCK. REMOVE. RESET.
Locate the rim
Wash your hands and relax. Use the retrieval stem to help locate the disc.
Untuck gently
Hook a clean finger under the front rim and ease it down from behind the pubic bone. Don’t force or yank the stem.
Keep it level
Slide the disc out slowly, then empty and wash before reinserting.
Wear for up to 12 hours, emptying sooner on heavier days. A 45 mL capacity isn’t a guarantee of 12 hours between changes.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR DISC
CLEAN. DRY. REPEAT.
Wash after emptying
Use warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Rinse thoroughly.
Sanitise between periods
Boil for 4–5 minutes before first use and between periods. Keep it submerged and off the pan’s bottom. Let it cool before use.
Store when dry
Let your disc dry fully, then keep it in a breathable pouch.
COMMON QUESTIONS
FIND YOUR COMFORT.
How is a disc different from a cup?
A disc rests beneath the cervix with its front rim tucked behind the pubic bone. A cup sits in the vaginal canal and forms a seal. They use different placement and removal techniques.
Is Small a universal size?
No. We offer one specific size: Small, in Light Pink. It has a 45 mL capacity and is 30 mm high. The 120 mm overall length includes the retrieval stem, not just the disc.
What if I notice leaks?
Check that the disc is beneath your cervix and the front rim is tucked in place. Empty it sooner if needed. Use period underwear as backup while learning the fit.
A few things to know before you start
Wash your hands before and after handling. Don’t share your cup or disc. Stop using it if it causes pain or irritation; seek medical help if you cannot remove it. Ask your clinician before use with an IUD. Cups and discs do not prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.
Toxic shock syndrome is rare but serious. Remove the product and seek urgent medical care if you develop a sudden fever, rash, vomiting or dizziness. Read more about TSS.
What is auto-emptying?
Some people find their disc partially empties into the toilet when they relax or gently bear down—a handy feature called auto-emptying. It doesn’t happen for everyone, so don’t force it.
With clean hands, check that the front rim is tucked back behind your pubic bone afterwards. Auto-emptying doesn’t reset the 12-hour wear limit: still remove and wash your disc within that time. Leaking outside the bathroom calls for a fit or position check.
What if I need to empty it in a public bathroom?
Empty before heading out, then plan a bathroom break before 12 hours—or sooner if your flow fills it faster. While learning your flow, check more often rather than waiting for a leak.
Wash your hands before entering the stall. Remove and empty your disc into the toilet. If there’s no private sink, rinse with clean drinking water from a small bottle, then reinsert. Wash it thoroughly with mild, fragrance-free soap and water at the next opportunity. Never use toilet-bowl water or surface disinfectant.
Can I have sex with my disc in?
A disc sits higher than a cup, leaving the vaginal canal free for penetrative sex during your period. Empty it beforehand, and remove and wash it afterwards. Comfort varies; stop and remove it if either partner feels discomfort. Some spotting is still possible.
Remove a menstrual cup before vaginal penetration. Neither a cup nor a disc prevents pregnancy or protects against sexually transmitted infections.
