So this little wonder:

- is reusable (I've been using the same one for years)

- I don't deal with discomfort from tampons and pads

- I don't have to reach inside of myself and deal with suction to empty it, which rules for me, a person that likes multiple day mountaineering objectives involving blue bags and routine lack of access to running water, (I'm side-eyeing you, many different menstrual cups that I have tried... that suction is *not* okay, and no squeezing or folding method endorsed in the instructions that I employed ever prevented painful suction for me)

- it significantly reduces my cramps (I put it in *before* I start bleeding to help with my PMS cramps, and cramp heavily as a non-hormonal IUD user)

- it (mostly) stays in place during intercourse

- my menstrual cycles are heavy, so this makes the nightmare of inserting and removing many tampons a thing of the past

- do you, like me, have the joys of a sped-up rate of intestinal tract movement during your menstrual cycle because of prostaglandin? Say goodbye to having to ditch your tampon because of the atrocities that have taken place on the string.

- I can clean it twice a day with foaming scent/ dye/ everything free soap

- I store it in a jar with distilled white vinegar when not in use

- I have gifted many disposable ones to the women in my life and all are converts that end up getting the reusable model

I cannot endorse this thing enough! We should not be taxed on menstrual products, and/or deal with putting…

I LOVE this disk. I was the type of person that took forever to learn to relax myself enough to insert a tampon, so trying menstrual discs and cups was pretty intimidating. I have a heavy flow so I just got so tired of constantly needing to change my tampon super often and worrying about bleeding through them. First I tried a menstrual cup but after months of trying could not for the life of me figure how to insert it. So then I tried the disc was able to figure it out on the first try!! Almost as easy but just as comfortable as inserting a tampon, AND you can’t feel it when it’s in correctly. I also have had ZERO leaks and have been so impressed by how much it holds. I also love how I can empty it without taking it out completely if I need to. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to any other period product :)
