The discs should have been named bowls. That way we will have menstrual cups and menstrual bowls ;D

they really need to teach this stuff at school

When I said I hate menstrual cups I meant menstrual cups. I love menstrual discs. They also hold more fluid and are more comfortable for women with smaller frames and vagina openings

for me, i like the discs better. DISCS ARE MUCH EASIER TO INSERT AND BEGINNER FRIENDLY. i don’t really care if my hand gets messy, i’ll just wash them in a second anyway lol.

I prefer discs. This review is extremely biased and makes it seem as though they are disgusting. But they work amazingly for me. Another commenter mentioned they use a single Softdisc per cycle and I do the same. It all comes down to comfort and personal preference. Who even cares if you get a little blood on your hands?? I would hope everyone is washing their hands after handling these personal hygiene items anyhow. It’s not at all like you’re getting covered in blood while handling them.

Discs for life I remove when I’m in the shower 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I think the most important thing to note is that - while rare - it's possible to dislodge your IUD from the suction created by the menstrual cup. The disc doesn't create the same force/suction and therefore is safer for those with IUDs. I kept using a cup for years after getting my IUD in but after my friend ended up dislodging hers and her IUD coming out at home (painful and scary) I went back to tampons, sadly. So excited to be able to safely use a disc, have sex on my period if I want (no cup or tampon in the way!) with no mess. It's disc for me!

I tried a menstrual disc a few years ago thinking that it was the same thing as a menstrual cup but this video made me realize how different the two really are! I'm going to give cups a try because the disk was way too messy

I tried both and definitely prefer the disc. So much easier to insert and can’t feel a thing.

Thanks for the Closed Captions!!! And another informative and helpful video!

I get bloody every single time I insert or remove my cup (yes cup, not disc) but I have just come to expect it and not get grossed out anymore

Lumma Unique disc is my goldilocks. Discs are a true game changer!

This is so helpful! Thank you!

Hi! could you please make a video all about the best cups for virgins, and how to find your cervix if you're a virgin/teen. Thanks!

This video was so use. Thank you so much💞

This is so helpful!!!

Discs are the best menstrual product ever. So easy to put in and I never have to worry about it. Cups are sooo uncomfortable

Not once have I managed to remove my cup without blood dripping down my fingers, maybe because it’s always so full. Time to try a disc.

Loved this video thank you.

Honestly, you seem biased against discs. I have tried many menstrual cups to no avail. I've tried the diva cup (both sizes), the yuki cup, and a couple other popular ones I can't remember the names of atm and none of them worked. My problem has always been that my vaginal walls tended to squish the cups and they would never open fully. I've also tried harder cups and those were with too uncomfortable and still wouldn't catch my blood flow. Menstrual discs worked like a charm exactly because they are already flat and sit further inside the vaginal canal, so my walls don't squish it unlike the cups. You turned your nose up at the removal process but I rarely have an issue with messiness or spoilage upon removal. So yeah, try not come off so biased. Cups aren't it for everyone.

Do you think a disc could be a good option for a person (me!!) who experience a cup that always turn sideways (and leaks)?!

I use the Lumma Unique disc and I really like it. I have never been able to insert a cup all the way in and it hurts when it pops open prematurely and when I take it out. The Lumma only takes and 10 sec to insert and about 25 sec to take out (shorter time for me personally than a pad, tampon, and cup). It's a little messy but it's only messy 0-2 times a day verus every time I remove a pad or tampon. The only problem that I have with the Lumma is that it makes me pee more which is probably due to the hardish rim similar to the Flex/Soft but the Nixit and Ziggy have softer rims.

It's a murder scene whenever I use a menstrual disc and I had leaking twice today on day 2 of my cycle. I never have these problems with a menstrual cup. Menstrual cups are much cleaner and mess free. I can't have blood on my hands in a public restroom or at work where the sink is in a common area; that's just not appropriate.

Disc is so much more comfortable. Menstrual cup is hard and the pull out thing always bothered me no matter how much I trimmed it short. I checked with my gyn after IUD and they are both safe

I like cup but lately, it's been bothering my blater. I want to try the disc because I heard you feel it less and it is less leakage as a cup. My cup leaks if I am laying down and moving my legs it's been know to loose suction when laying down. Standing, sitting, moving is fine just laying down it the problem. I always have to think about how I am sitting with my cup.

Way I use it is disc at home, cup anywhere else. Why? Removing the cup is usually mess free and you can rinse it with a water bottle in a public bathroom. The disc is way too messy to remove, but compared to the cup I can't feel it at all! The cup is comfortable to wear, but with the disc it feels like im wearing nothing. So I will deal with the mess at home.

I have been using menstrual cup since so many years now , it's been very convenient for me and mess free. I'm not sure whether I'll give a try to disc

Can I use a disc while just spotting? Like for the beginning of my cycle? Or can I cup be used these early spotting days of the cycle too? I just bought a Diva cup and a Flex cup for my first cups, but also picked up a pack fo soft discs hoping they may be more appropriate for those first few days of a period. Thanks for your help!

I got both today😌

My menstrual disc kept popping out from behind my pubic bone and leaking like crazy, even though I KNOW I was putting it in deep enough. So I give up.

I've just recently tried a reusable flex disc after using several menstrual cup for about a decade. I tried the disposable flex disc but the rim was too firm. I love the reusable flex disc much better than any menstrual cups.

i love the disc i would always have trouble with the cup sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not work but with disc everytime I use it, it works people say its messy well here is my trick i put a condom on my finger and pullout therefore the cup goes rite in the condom and no mess on my fingers or anywhere else

I have always used a cup. It took me a while to get used to it and to figure out how to avoid leakage, and sometimes here and there I still get them. I decide to try the disc and chiiiiiile, I ain’t going back to a cup!!!

What cup are you using to demo?

I really wanted to try. I'm having second thought that it might hurt during insertion 🤣

Hey wath about disck and baldder pressur ?

Been using discs for 16 years. It is farrr more comfortable and easier to insert and remove. It seems very much like this user just had a bad experience and is now making her opinion sound like proof of poor design. When in fact, discs can be very neat/clean to remove and do not push a bloody mess all over the place. I rarely have had a disaster in all my years of using Softdisc/Flex (formerly Instead Softcup) I just purchased Nixit because if its similar design and hope it works just as well for me, though the ring seems a bit too flexy. We shall see next cycle. I love the option for reusable feminine hygiene products, and diva cup just sucked my insides out like a vacuum. Incredibly uncomfortable when I'm already suffering cramps and bloating. I've had my diva cup just sitting dusty in a drawer for ages, now hopefully this Nixit will be my go-to and I can finally stop using wasteful disposables. (Though I only use 1 or 2 Softdiscs per cycle, and that is far less waste than tampons and pads, I'm all on board for a reusable product.)

Is a disc suitable for low/dangly cervixes? I think I have a low and perhaps dangle cervix. I have used the smallest meluna and small si belle cups. Bot leaked within a couple of hours on my heaviest day (which is not so heavy. With pads, i can get away with changing every 5-6 hours on thin ones). And when I took the cups out, they're only half full. Every single time. And I have trouble getting the Si belle in all the way. So, would a disc work? I mean, the cervix wouldn't take space in the disc as much as cups, right?

Have you ladies tried the Tulip cup with the valve? I've never used a cup but am highly considering buying one and am currently weighing my options. My biggest concern about switching to cups is that I don't have access to a private bathroom at work, and my heavy flow has me thinking it's likely I'll need to empty it midday (which I really would rather not do in a public restroom). I thought the valve might help me get through the workday without having to take it out. Would love to see a review!

Why choose? Some days cups, some other disc... I find the disc more comfy but more messy. So i guess it depends from what you need that day!

@me cringing at that unicorn thang she just showed us lmaooo

For me it’s discs all the way! It’s so freeing and comfortable actually not not comfortable more like not noticeable cause I can’t feel it at all which is heaven! I’ll take alittle mess for convenience any day!

He face @2.09 😂😂 could actually picture the murder scene right there!

Not sure if i need a doctor now. I tried using a cup today had to keep fixing it because I have a low cervix. Well now my cervix is actually lower than ever to where I can see it with a mirror. Has anyone ever irritated their cervix to the point it swells

Am I right in thinking the disc will be easier for me, because I don’t use my cup anymore due to wrist problems which doesn’t allow for all the contortionist requirements for using it. Is the disc more user friendly than that in terms of hand angles and pressure needed to insert?

So where exactly is the cup supposed to go? Like is it over the cervix or in? I believe I'm a lower cervix. I'm asking because I would like to try it but I'm concerned because I tried a tampon once it was uncomfortable. I placed it correct as well.

Ok. So i know this is a strange thing to notice but. The cup colour is very pretty...which brand is it?

Damn.. why have all these utensils such a huge, medival design? Does anyone know a soft disc with the diameter of a cup???

Hi, I know this may sound weird but is there anywhere I can find one of those clear models I have two young daughters and one is close to that age now, I'd really like her to be properly educated hoping to use the reusable options.

I feel like they need to make more production of these discs especially use I did switch over reusable once instead of the the ones that you dispose of cuz think about it if you I have one time but everybody talks about me used of soft disc brand disposable once have every other month and it's sort of like I would like from the tampon not mentioned not environment friend but mostly good trying out working bring.

How do you store the cups when you do not use them? How do you discretely carry them with you on days leading up to your period? Do you insert it a day before you get your period or do you wait until it actually happens, but then you are left with messy hands during the insertion?

With it all squished up like that, what is the actual capacity of discs compared to cups and tampons?

can someone help me, the cup just won't open when i put it in

Which cup is this light blue one in this video? Does anyone know? :)

Okay so I’m having a hard tome inserting a disc. I was thinking put the disc inside a tampon applicator and seeing if that works? Anyone have any advice for thats?

Blood Drawer is 10/10

No matter what, cups dont go inside as my hymen is too thick to stretch, I almost passed out trying to force it in So my question is, will the disc go in and out of the vagina through a small opening?

help! I bought the ziggy cup thinking it would be a really great option for me, but YIKES. First, I could not figure out how to properly insert it, and was never able to get a clean insertion that didn't have leaks, or where the disc did not slip down. And second, it hurt, *badly*. It gave me horrible cramps to wear it. I know I must be doing it wrong, but the tutorials from Intimina about how to use it are vague at best. You guys are so awesome and I would love it if you did a more in-depth how to video for discs!

I have been using a cup for nearly 20 years and my only complaint is that I sometimes find it difficult to empty my bladder without straining. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this experience and for those that have tried both, if this is an issue with the discs. If not, I am definitely going to switch to discs!

How much does each hold and do discs cause bladder pressure or difficulty peeing?

Y'all be aware of TPE tho, apparently it can melt over high temperature.

This looks terrifying 😭 But I neeeeed something besides tampons bc they hurt since I have to use the super plus and I still bleed through so fast UGHHH HELP 😢😥

Can you please discuss the prevention of toxic shock syndrome when using a mensural cup. I saw some resent research to say that it can be more likely to get TTS when wearing a cup.

I have cups and use them Like im ok with cups but i heard the disc is easier Now i want to try a disc Although i did a dry run and it just kept poking out I cant get over the want to use discs

Does it leak? That's all my question is, occasionally my cup leaks and I really find that annoying.

Ok so i am a new menstural cup user and i have a narrow vagina..i am able to put it all the way ans it stays there but it also leaks a little but the most frustrating part of the cup is removal. Its suction is ao tight..it cant be removed as easily as you showed in here. To insert two fingers is difficult for most people. So definitely its hard to remove it

Plz help me decide which would be best disc for high cervix cora or nixit disc? For the menstrual cup i always had to push it out first then find it and pull it… im so worried with the disc they may disappear inside me or i cant reach enough to pull it out… plz help

Im a menstrual cup user but the disc looks complicated 😔

Does a disk fit everyone?

Can I have a cup in with an IUD? Would the string break the seal?

I want to try a cup, because a few months ago I started to notice that I got pretty bad pain of tampons. The pain will stop if I use a pad, but I feel like pads are so uncomfortable. I'm still kind of afraid, that it will give me the same pain as tampons (although I don't think so). Have you ever heard of someone having worse pain from cups? (I'm sorry if I made any spelling- or grammar mistakes. English isn't my first language, I'm from Austria)

I like cups but I love disc more oddly enough waiting for saalt to bring there disc available to Canada they just brought the saalt wash so hopefully me waiting a while longer the disc will come cause then I'll buy the wash and both disc lol 😆 as I have two saalt cups regular and small already nixit cup wash .. and 3 smaller disc which I used this period but I want them in large so I'll be buying a few more in large when paid

Any recommendations on what to sanitize your cup with to remove any scent?

I can never get cups to reopen. (I have a deep but narrow vagina) so even as deep as my fingers can push it up its still not on my cervix and so I can't get it placed properly. I've wondered if I'd have better luck with the disk. Otherwise I've always used pads

Gummi 50zuger sagte man früher dazu 😊

I'm good with the pads.😰😰😰

Disc insertion and removal seems a lot simpler so I'll go with a disc

This video was very clearly biased towards cups.. let’s just say the comment section was more help than the video🙃

So I have an issue with my cup. I have a diva cup, but it pops to early, no matter which folding method I try. Because it pops to early i can't get it high enough and therefore I still feel the cup, this is very uncomfortable and can irritate. I have already cut the stem. The cup is to soft to push higher after "the pop". Tips please! 😊😅 I've been using it for almost a year now and still can't figure it out🙈

I had such a horror story with the cup the suctioning being so strong when i took it out once the blood splattered upwards somehow all over my rich aunts white walls and cream rug and I lost the cup it was truly a nightmare situation 🤣 might try the disk

Cups are more easy to use

My hands are full of blood when I remove my cup, am I doing something wrong? Also it leaks when only half full...

Hi! Love this. Where did you get your reproductive model? I do info sessions and this would be amazing. Thanks so much ❤

Should be called a Menstrual Dish.

I found the cup very uncomfortable. I wonder if the disc would be better for me . The rim looks a bit stiff though 🤔

I have very light and cramp-free periods because I have a 100% cholesterol *free* diet for years. I use a small lena cup and 2 thinx undies. No disposable products needed.🙂

Its sucks that you were so biased :/

Well I'm just going to be forever a disc user seeing as they r easier to get in and out/use lol..I mean it's a one size fits all and no cervix hunting needed yay..who does not like that. Also I've found both cups and disc's can be messy..I'm sorry if u think rainbows and hello kitty r going to come out of u or it will be a disney princess moment and be just perfectly mess free ur deluded...it's a little like the scene from Carrie no matter what u use. -_-' I've just never been able to find a cup that fits well no matter how I folded it the silly cup never really worked for me lol.. I could just never get it in and out easy without stress or mess..the whole pinching the cup to get it out to dump just was not working even when at home and in a stressful public toilet!.. ja NOT happening ^_^' ..the mess was just bad thank g I had wet nap's in my bag..which I guess those can be helpful with a cup or disc seeing as u can use them for clean up yay..I guess that was a helpful thing to learn ALWAYS have wet nap's on u! The up side to using a disc for me at least is I have less pain and dryness..I'm pretty sure the less dryness part is b/c I'm not shoving a wad of cotton in me anymore...as for the less pain I'm still not sure about that one lol. Just do what works for u and try both b/c what works for one person may not work for everyone lol..also do make sure u know ur cup size before u buy b/c it can't be return once u've used it and cups r NOT cheap! ^_^' I just tried the disc first b/c the non reusable one's r pretty cheap to get and everyone I know said they go in easy plus I did not really know my size yet and wanted something better than a pad or tampon...I have ordered the reusable disc..my poor bank account is hurting -_-, after that but I just want to see if they r any better than the 1 cycle use disc's . ^_^ Great video and please keep up the great work! ^_^

Cups have been around for 11 years? Damn.
