Reusable Menstrual Disc

A menstrual disc is a soft, flexible, reusable period product made of medical-grade silicone that collects your menstrual flow instead of absorbing it. It sits in the vaginal fornix (the wide space just below the cervix) and stays in place by tucking behind your pubic bone.

Once inserted correctly, you can't feel it. Plus, it gives up to 8-12 hours of protection through work, workouts, swimming, sleep, and even intimacy.

Both the Menstrual Disc and the Menstrual Cup are reusable and body-safe. They just sit in different places. A cup sits lower, in the vaginal canal, while a disc sits higher, just below the cervix, held by your pubic bone.

Discs typically hold more menstrual blood, making them great for heavy-flow days, and some users simply prefer the fit. And because the disc leaves the vaginal canal unobstructed, it can also be worn during intimacy for a mess-free pleasurable experience.

Wash your hands, and get into a comfortable position. Pinch the disc midway into a figure-8, and insert it angled down and back towards your tailbone (not straight up). Once it's fully in, push the front rim up so it tucks behind your pubic bone. If it's placed right, you wouldn't feel it at all. 

There are two checks to determine whether the menstrual disc is placed correctly. The back rim should be tucked behind your cervix, and the front rim behind your pubic bone. If you can feel the disc or it slips down, remove and reinsert. It usually takes 1-2 cycles to get the hang of it. 

No, the Sirona Menstrual Disc doesn’t hurt at all. And any first-timer can use it easily. It may feel unfamiliar during the first few uses, but a correctly placed disc is not uncomfortable at all. Instead, most users say they can't feel it at all. Take your time, relax your muscles, and use water as a natural lubricant if needed. 

No, the Sirona Menstrual Disc cannot get lost or stuck inside you. The vaginal canal is a closed space, and the disc physically cannot travel anywhere. If it feels out of reach, sit on the toilet, relax, and bear down gently (like you are peeing or pooping); the rim will come within reach of your finger.

Removing the Sirona Menstrual Disc is really simple. Just sit on the toilet seat, insert a clear finger inside, and hook a clean finger under the front rim. Pull the disc out slowly, keeping it horizontal like a small tray. For your first few removals, try it in the bathroom before a shower until you're confident. It gets easier every cycle.

No, your menstrual disc isn’t leaking. Actually, this is very normal and useful. When you bear down to pee or poop, your pelvic muscles briefly untuck the disc and let some fluid empty out ("self-emptying"). Just tuck the front rim back behind your pubic bone with a clean finger afterwards. This self-emptying while using the toilet lets you use the disc for longer before removal. 

You can wear the Sirona Menstrual Disc for up to 8-12 hours, including overnight. On heavy-flow days, you may want to empty it sooner.

Yes, you can wear the Sirona Menstrual Disc while swimming, running, and even at the gym. Since it sits behind the pubic bone and moves with your body, it's secure during workouts, yoga, swimming, and travel.

During your period, rinse it with cold water first (prevents staining), then wash with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free wash (like Sirona Menstrual Cup Wash) before reinserting.

Between cycles, sterilise it fully. The easiest way is with the Sirona Electric Steriliser (one-touch steam sterilisation in 7-8 minutes) or the Sirona Microwaveable Steriliser (just add water and microwave for 1-2 minutes). You can also boil it for 4-5 minutes. Store in a breathable pouch, never an airtight box.

The risk associated with medical-grade silicone discs is very low, much lower than that of tampons. But it’s not zero. Follow basic hygiene - wash hands before insertion/removal, don't exceed 12 hours of wear, and sterilise between cycles.

With proper care, a single Sirona Menstrual Disc lasts for years. Thus, replacing thousands of pads and tampons. However, replace it if you notice tears, stickiness, or the silicone breaking down.
