Menstrual Disc or Cup: What Fits You Best?
A menstrual disc is new on the market and does not suck a vacuum making it much easier to use, in addition, the disc does not suck a vacuum because the disc is placed behind the pubic bone ideal for use with IUD. Both products offer unique benefits, but it is important to know which one fits your lifestyle the best. Whether it is the menstrual disc or menstrual cup.
Comfort and Fit
A menstrual disc, such as the PADS & SECRETS menstrual disc, is placed high in the vaginal fornix and offers leak-free protection for up to 12 hours. The main advantage is that you don’t feel the disc while wearing it, and you can even use it during intercourse without it getting in the way. A menstrual cup sits lower in the vagina and, depending on its shape and size, may be felt—especially during intense activities.
Ease of Use
The menstrual disc is easy to insert and remove without creating a vacuum, making it an excellent choice for women with an IUD. You simply pinch the disc to the size of a tampon and place it in position. Emptying it is straightforward—just release the contents into the toilet without hassle. A menstrual cup often requires more practice to break the vacuum seal correctly and may be slightly more challenging for beginners. Additionally, the vacuum can sometimes cause discomfort.
Eco-Friendliness
Both products are sustainable alternatives to disposable tampons and pads. They help reduce waste and are made from medical-grade silicone, which is hypoallergenic and body-safe. By choosing a menstrual disc or cup, you’re contributing to a healthier planet.
