When is it your first choice?

For heavy flow

Do you know the feeling of constantly having to change your tampons every hour on the first day of your period? Then the menstrual disc is perfect for you. It can hold up to 6 tampons' worth of liquid, even more than traditional cups. No more sleepless nights or morning surprises.

For abdominal cramps

Many women report that conventional tampons worsen their abdominal pain during their period. Tampons and traditional cups often feel hard and uncomfortable, causing additional vaginal cramps. The menstrual disc is different: it's soft, flexible, works without suction, and perfectly adapts to your vagina.

For vaginal dryness

Conventional tampons absorb not only blood but also natural moisture, drying out your vagina. The menstrual disc, however, is made of 100% medical-grade silicone, is hypoallergenic, does not absorb any fluids, and maintains the balance of your vaginal flora.

On weaker days

Removing a still partially dry tampon is not a pleasant experience. When your period becomes lighter towards the end, the menstrual disc is the best choice to prevent your vagina from drying out.

With a spiral (IUD)

As the menstrual disc does not create a vacuum, it can also be used with an IUD.

During sports & swimming

Conventional tampons can sometimes be bothersome during sports or swimming. Movement can make your tampon noticeable, and the retrieval string is often too long. Additionally, tampons can absorb water while swimming, making them less effective. The menstrual disc, however, fits so well that you completely forget you're wearing it. It also stays leak-proof during the most active movements and in water.

During sex

Sex during your period is now possible with the disc. The menstrual disc is so flexible that neither you nor your partner will feel it. It comfortably sits in the vaginal fornix, the widest part of your vagina, so you don't have to worry about blood stains on fresh bed sheets.

For pain patients

Pain patients (including those with endometriosis) often cannot use regular tampons or suction cups due to severe pain. The smooth menstrual disc provides relief and offers greater comfort.

For cup intolerance

Does the suction from traditional menstrual cups bother you? Does it potentially worsen your period pain? Or do you find removal difficult? Then the menstrual disc is your solution! It works without suction, remains leak-proof for up to 12 hours, and is so soft that you never feel it. Additionally, with a bit of practice, emptying and removing it is much easier than with a suction cup.

On a tight budget

On average, a woman spends CHF 200-300 per year on disposable menstrual products like tampons and pads. A menstrual disc, however, is a one-time purchase that lasts up to five years. This means you save over CHF 1000 during this time, produce no waste, and never have to worry about restocking tampons.

How to insert it?

  1. Boil the disc for 5 minutes. The easiest way to do this is by placing the disc in a cup, pouring boiling water over it, and letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. Wash Your Hands: Ensure your hands are clean.
  3. Hold the disc between your thumb and index finger and press the double rim together.
  4. Insert it towards the cervix.
  5. Push the front rim up behind the pubic bone to ensure the disc is securely in place.

How to remove it?

  1. To empty the disc during the day, release the front rim from the pubic bone with your index finger (best done from above), pull the disc out a little, and let it drain without completely removing it.
  2. Remove the disc completely every 12 hours by pulling it out by the double rim with your index finger (from above). Empty it and quickly rinse it with water.
  3. At the end of your period, boil the disc again for 5 minutes.
  • For some women, the disc empties itself when using the toilet. This is a fantastic special feature of the menstrual disc!

    This happens because the pelvic floor muscles you use when going to the toilet also press on the rim of the menstrual disc, causing it to empty.

  • Maybe it happens automatically for you, or you might need to consciously press or tighten your pelvic floor muscles.

    But don't worry, the menstrual disc won't suddenly empty itself while you're doing yoga, swimming, or squatting. This really only happens in the toilet position with a tightened pelvic floor.

FAQ

Which size is right for me?

Choose primarily based on your menstrual flow: If you have a light to medium flow, the small size S-M is sufficient (holds up to 4 tampons). If you have a heavier flow during the first two days, we recommend the larger disc M-L (holds up to 6 tampons). For the large disc, you should check if you can fully insert your index finger until you reach your cervix. If yes, the large disc has enough space. If your uterus sits rather low, we recommend the small disc.

Which size should I choose after a vaginal birth?

With the disc, unlike with the menstrual cup, you don't necessarily have to switch to the larger size after a vaginal birth. Focus primarily on the strength of your menstruation. Often, the uterus lowers a bit after childbirth. If this is the case for you and you can't fully insert your index finger until you reach your cervix, we recommend the smaller disc S-M.

Can I use the disk with the spiral (IUD)?

Yes, as the disk works without vacuum or negative pressure, you can also use it with an IUD.

How long can I use the menstrual disc?

You can wear the disc for a maximum of 12 hours. Every 12 hours, you should fully remove the disc, empty it completely, and rinse it briefly with water. In between, you can also empty the disc while using the toilet without fully removing it.

For hygiene reasons, you should get a new disc approximately every five years. You should replace it sooner if it develops any cracks or holes or if it is generally not in good condition anymore.

How do I empty the disc?

When you go to the toilet, you can empty the menstrual disc without fully removing it: Hook your index finger on the front rim (it's easiest from above), pull the disc slightly out of your vagina so it can empty. It helps to alternately tighten and relax your pelvic floor muscles to ensure the disc is fully emptied. Don't forget to push the double rim back up behind the pubic bone.

Every 12 hours, you should fully remove the disc, empty it completely into the toilet, and briefly rinse it with water in the sink. Alternatively, the best way to do this is in a squatting position in the shower.

If the disc slips deeper into the vagina, for example after sex, you can go into a wide-legged squat and relax to make it easier to remove. The menstrual disc cannot disappear into your vagina, so you will always be able to retrieve it. If you still can't remove it yourself, please visit your gynecologist.

How do I get the disc out again after sex?

Exactly as always! You can usually remove and empty the disc as normal. If you can't grasp the rim of the disc at first, don't panic. The disc cannot get lost, and you will definitely be able to retrieve it. Be patient; the disc will naturally move downwards as it fills. Squat in the shower, as this shortens the vaginal canal, and gently bear down. This will allow you to better grasp the front rim of the disc and remove it.

What should I do if it doesn't work the first time?

Is your disc not completely leak-proof during your first cycle? Don't worry, it's totally normal to need some adjustment time for the disc to fit perfectly. I experienced this myself. Here are some tips to help the disc become leak-proof:

  • Sometimes, the disc may still sit too low and not fully cover the cervix, or there might be too much pressure on the pubic bone. Especially if you're used to cups, it's easy to push the disc not far enough up. When inserting, push it all the way back and up towards the tailbone until it won't go any further. Sometimes different angles can help get the back rim past the cervix.
  • The best way to do this at the beginning is to squat in the shower or bathtub. This shortens your vaginal canal, allowing you to push the disc further back so that the back rim sits behind the cervix. You should then be able to feel the cervix through the thin silicone layer of the disc.
  • Afterward, it's important to push the front rim of the disc up behind the pubic bone. You can recognize the pubic bone by inserting a finger and pressing upward towards your belly. The hard bone you feel is your pubic bone.
  • Alternatively, you could try the smaller disc if you are currently using the M-L size. The larger size might not have enough space and could dislodge from the pubic bone.

Also, check out our reels on Instagram for tips and tricks on using the disc, such as the insertion:

With a few more tries, it should hopefully work soon. Best of luck and patience!

Why does the automatic emptying (so-called auto-dumping, self-emptying) not work for me?

Maybe you are one of the women for whom the disc fits very snugly between the pubic bone and the cervix, making automatic emptying impossible.

No problem, you can still easily empty the disc without fully removing it: Simply release the front rim from the pubic bone with your finger (preferably from above) and pull it out just a little bit.

How do I clean the menstrual disc?

Empty the disc and rinse it under warm water. You can also use a bit of hand soap to wash off any blood residue.

At the end of your period, boil the disc for 5 minutes. The easiest way to do this is by placing it in a cup, pouring boiling water over it, and letting it sit for about 5 minutes.

I like to use an old toothbrush to thoroughly clean the double rim of the disc before boiling it.

What is the disc made of?

The menstrual disc is hypoallergenic and is made from 100% medical-grade silicone (platinum) from Germany. This is free from BPA, plasticizers, phthalates or other chemicals and is ISO-certified as a medical product. This means it has no negative impact on your vaginal flora or pH value.

Where is the menstrual disc produced?

Our menstrual disc is made from 100% medical-grade silicone from Germany, and it is produced by our partner in China. We spent two years contacting various producers within and outside Europe, examining and testing different disc models and materials. We found the best disc quality (as thin as possible) with our current production partner in China. For the material, we chose a German silicone manufacturer of the highest medical quality. This way, we managed to combine the best material with the best manufacturing process. We package the disc in our manufactory and design all the packaging ourselves.

Ideally, we would love to produce everything in Switzerland. However, at the moment, this is still so expensive that we could only offer the disc at a significantly higher price. With PERIOD, we want to ensure that innovative menstrual products are accessible to as many women as possible, which is why production costs play a crucial role.

What is the best way to store the menstrual disc?

Once the disc is completely dry, store it in its original packaging or another bag in a place protected from light and out of the reach of children.

What are the advantages over a menstrual cup?

Unlike a cup, the menstrual disc works without suction. This makes wearing and emptying it easier and can also reduce period pain. The M-L size disc has an even larger capacity than most cups, making it the perfect solution for women with a heavy flow.

With some practice, the menstrual disc can be automatically emptied on the toilet. Even without "auto-dumping," emptying it is easier than with a suction cup, as the disc does not need to be completely removed each time.

Does the disc have a contraceptive effect?

No, the menstrual disc has no contraceptive effect and does not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases.

What is TSS?

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a very rare but dangerous and potentially life-threatening condition that can occur with the use of tampons and other period products. Symptoms can appear suddenly and resemble those of the flu: a fever of 39°C (102°F) or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting, and/or a sunburn-like rash. If you notice any of the above symptoms, immediately remove your tampon and seek medical attention. Be sure to inform the healthcare provider that you are on your period and have been using a menstrual disc. TSS can be life-threatening and must be recognized and treated early.

Absolute Kaufempfehlung

Das Einsetzen hat anfangs kurze Übung gebraucht (und ein Anleitungsvideo im Internet hat geholfen), aber jetzt funktioniert es problemlos. Mit einer Tasse bin ich nie zurecht gekommen. Da ich teils sehr stark blute inkl. Koagel, gibt mir die Disc etwas mehr Sicherheit, da ein grosser Tampon manchmal schon nach 30-60Min durchgelaufen ist. So habe ich an starken Tagen auch mal 2-3h "Ruhe" und nachts hält es auch länger. Die automatische Entleerung funktioniert bei mir und ist sehr praktisch, gerade wenn man unterwegs ist. Ich bin froh, eine umweltschonende Alternative/Ergänzung gefunden zu haben und empfehle die Disc überall weiter!

Mega, tausend Dank für dein ausführliches Feedback zu unserer Disk! Wir freuen uns sehr mit dir, dass du damit happy bist. 🙏🙌

Begeistert!

Super schnelle Lieferung!
Erst einmal ausprobiert, hat aber auf Anhieb super funktioniert!! Wenn man etwas
Erfahrung mit dem Beckenboden hat (nach guter Rückbildung nach der Schwangerschaft) funktioniert die Entleerung ohne herausnehmen auch gut!!
Ich bin begeistert, habe nach jahrelanger Tampon-Nutzung das erste mal etwas anderes ausprobiert…

Vielen herzlichen Dank für dein super Feedback zu unserer Disk, liebe Martina! Wir freuen uns riesig mit dir, dass du nach den Tampons endlich eine gute Alternative für dich gefunden hast.
