I decided to try a disc after giving up on a cup, cups just weren't right for me and after trying the disc for 2 cycles now it's very clear that the disc is the perfect solution for me! The silicone is so thin and soft it really is like nothing is in there. And with the little handle is super easy to help guide into place, and then remove. The first period I tried it yes there was a little mess with emptying while I got the hang of it, so it's a great idea to try it on a day you're at home. By the second period I knew what I was doing, I highly recommend watching all the tips videos, they are very helpful! Especially the tiny bit of lube when you're first trying it out, and if inserting in the shower lube is the trick!
I love the freedom of the disc, no need to carry tampons around, my overnight period undies are going to have to be retired! On heavier days it serves me approx 6-8 hours, but on lighter days I can just set and forget for 12 hours. Brilliant. My favourite thing is as soon as I start spotting at the start of a period, I can insert the disc and I'm sorted for the day, no more wearing a liner wondering when my flow will kick in enough for a tampon.
I have worn the disc in a Zumba class, and while swimming, it's a bloody winner!
