common questions
You can check if your disc is in the right spot by following these steps:
1. Insert your disc, pushing it in gently as far as it will go, tucking it up behind the pubic bone.
2. Using a water-based lube helps A LOT when getting it into the right position.
3. Use your index finger, inserting it into your vagina and feeling for your cervix from beneath the disc. The disc cavity is very thin, so you are feeling for the 'firm knob' of your cervix that will slightly protrude from your vaginal wall.
4. If you are unfamiliar with your cervix, it is best to find it with your finger before inserting your disc.

To sanitize your menstrual disc for use, you can boil it on the stove. So no, you don't need to buy these tablets.
BUT...
These cleaning tablets replace boiling making it so convenient, especially when you are on the move. It is also a lot better for the medical grade silicone, helping the disc last a really long time.The cleaning tablets also remove stains on light color period cups or menstrual discs.
On a black menstrual disc, you can't see the stains easily, but protein staining will build up over time and the tablets remove all of this, keeping your disc squeaky clean and clear of all bacteria.
Odours are also common and the cleaning tablets remove all smells from protein build up on the silicone.So do you need these tablets, yes!

Find a large, clean mug and place your disc inside it. Cover the disc with hot boiled water from the kettle. Put your mug in the microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Carefully, remove the cup from the microwave. Use a clean fork to scoop out your disc (by the disc's handle) onto a clean plate and leave it there to cool before use or to dry completely before storing it for your next period.
