Can't go back. Didn't expect to love it.
Ok initially (first 2 days- very very heavy flow, every 2 hour change required, disk full) I thought there is no way this will work. Only took one period to find the best way to put it in (pinch disk with one hand, place two fingers of the other hand close together sort of in a inverted peace sign at the entrance so that as you push it in it stays pinched untill it's inside where it naturally unfolds over your cervix. I found this way most effective, using one hand sometimes meant I lost grip and disk openned up earlier or twisted a bit etc). Using a drop of silicone safe lube on either your entrance or on the edge of the disk makes it easy peasy installation.
I would feel uncomfortable emptying it in a public toilet where there is no sink+toilet together in one private area. It's because when pulling it out I get a gush of blood over my fingers without a fail so I prefer to rinse the disk clean, wipe myself and start fresh (no way to do it in a normal public toilet, shimmy way with pants down and blood on a hand).
The "automatic dumping" feature is literally just pushing it out a little and if fairly full it will simply drip (you do need to really push so don't worry you will not do this accidentally). Not a big fan of that because it means a little blood may be left around your entrance even if you wiped it and also I kind off lost the track of how much time I have left before next change because some blood stays in (heavy bleeder here- need to stay on top if it for the first 3 days). After the heavy days it's just great! Especially night.
I recommend trying it when you can stay at home all day or two to get the idea how it feels when it's full etc. no trauma approach.
Honestly didn't think I will like it this much. I still use a tampon for when I can't be at home for the heaviest part because that's less messy to change at a public toilet but I really missed the disk. It just seems to feel better, less cramps, less worry about TSS, less rubbish. In two periods it literally paid for itself because I didn't need to buy more tampons.
The little pull tab is great! Can't imagine using it without it so this is a great advantage over the other discs.
I think black color is great. I feel the white one would very quickly look awful. Even the black one seems to have a hue of red after a few uses despite boiling it clean. What if you made them with a funny print like cookie monster or something lol or a vampire face. Pulling them out would be a new level of sick fun. 😂 Just joking.
