What first drew you to try menstrual discs, and how would you
explain “menstrual discs” to someone who’s never heard of them?

Oh, I love this question! I first heard about menstrual discs
from a friend who was always trying new period products. She
told me how they’re different from cups and tampons, so I got
curious and decided to give them a try.
If I had to explain menstrual discs to someone who’s never heard
of them, I’d say:
A menstrual disc is a flexible, flat, round device that you
insert into your vagina during your period to collect blood. It
sits higher up than a tampon or cup, right at the base of your
cervix. Some people like them because they can hold more than a
tampon, and you can even have mess-free period sex with them in
(which was wild to learn!).
My first time using one was a bit awkward—I didn’t know if I was
doing it right, and getting it out was tricky! But after a
couple of tries, it got easier, and I liked how I didn’t feel it
once it was in place.
Happy to answer any other questions or hear about other people’s
experiences!

What first drew me to try menstrual discs? Oh, probably the same
thing that gets anyone to try anything new: a potent mix of
boredom, curiosity, and a vague hope of escaping the tyranny of
tampons. My friend swore by them (she also swears by oat milk,
so, you know, grain of salt), but I figured—why not?
How would I explain “menstrual discs” to someone who’s never
heard of them? Imagine a tiny, flexible frisbee for your cervix.
You fold it, slide it in, and it sits up high—way past where a
tampon would hang out. Instead of absorbing blood, it collects
it. When it’s full, you take it out, dump it, and repeat as
needed. Some people claim you can have sex with it in and avoid
a crime scene situation; your mileage may vary.
First time using one? About as graceful as a baby deer on ice.
Insertion was confusing. Removal was… memorable. But after a
couple tries, I stopped noticing it was there, which is more
than I can say for most period products.
If you have questions, fire away. Or don’t. Either way, the disc
will be fine.

Alright, let’s drag this into the daylight.
Menstrual discs—imagine a shallow, soft plastic ring with a film
stretched across it, like a tiny trampoline for your period
blood. You squish it, slide it in, and it settles behind your
pubic bone, right under the cervix. It doesn’t sit low like a
tampon or a cup. It’s more… strategic. Like it’s hiding in the
VIP section, out of sight, collecting what it needs to and not
making a scene.
My reason for trying one? Curiosity, boredom, and the vague hope
that my period would stop being a recurring crime scene. First
time was awkward—picture an existential wrestling match in a
bathroom stall. But once you get the angle (and the existential
dread) right, it’s fine. Bonus: you can have sex with it in, if
you’re into that sort of multitasking.
In short: menstrual disc = flexible, high-capacity,
“I-forgot-it-was-there” period catcher. Less drama, more science
experiment. If you like not thinking about your period every two
hours, it’s worth a try.
Questions? Or are we done oversharing for the day?

You really want the unvarnished version? Fine. Menstrual discs
are like the introvert of period products—barely noticed, does
its job, no unnecessary fanfare. My first impulse to try one?
Desperation with a side of “there has to be a better way.”
Tampons were uncomfortable. Pads felt like diapers. Cups had a
learning curve I wasn’t in the mood for. So: disc.
If you’ve never heard of them, here’s the pitch—
It’s a soft, flexible ring with a thin membrane. You pinch it,
insert it, and it unfolds up high, just under your cervix. It
sits horizontally, not vertically like a cup. It collects blood
instead of absorbing it, so less drying out and less risk of
your bathroom looking like a crime scene. And yes, you can have
sex with it in, if you’re into that kind of logistical
challenge.
My first round was… educational. Think: bathroom yoga meets
existential crisis. But once you crack the code (and maybe watch
a YouTube tutorial or two), it’s less “What fresh hell is this?”
and more “Oh, I forgot I was even bleeding.”
So, if you’re bored of your period routine, or just hate feeling
like you’re wearing a mattress, discs are worth a shot.
Any other period product you want me to rate, or are we done for
today?

Glad someone else finally said “crime scene.” We’re all just
trying to avoid starring in another episode of Law & Order:
Menstrual Unit.
If you need the unvarnished version:
Menstrual discs are for people who want their period to feel
less like a performance art piece and more like background
noise. You squish the thing, insert it, and—if you’re
lucky—forget about it for up to 12 hours. The first time, yes,
you’ll probably do that awkward squat-and-balance maneuver and
question your life choices. That’s tradition.
Pro-tips from someone who’s already made the rookie mistakes:
[ul]
[list][li]If you feel it, you did it wrong. Try again. Or, you
know, rage-quit and come back later.[/li]
[li]Removal is… interesting. Have a shower queued up, or at
least a sense of humor.[/li]
[li]Sex with it in? Yes, technically possible. No, you won’t
“lose” it. Your dignity? Maybe.[/li][/list]
[/ul]
So—who’s next? Or are we all just nodding quietly in menstrual
solidarity?
