Step-by-Step Guide
1) Prep
Sterilize at the start of your cycle. Wash hands. A drop of water-based lube can help.
2) Pinch
Press the rim together to form a slim oval (or figure-8) so it slides in comfortably.
3) Insert (angle back)
Sit, squat, or raise one leg; aim toward your tailbone and slide the disc fully inside.
4) Seat the back rim
Guide the back rim behind the cervix (the disc sits high, in the vaginal fornix).
5) Tuck the front rim
Tuck the front rim behind the pubic bone. You shouldn’t feel it when placed right.
6) Remove & clean
Sit on the toilet, relax and bear down. Hook a finger under the front rim, keep level, remove slowly. Empty, rinse, and reinsert—or clean/sterilize.
Tip: walk around 30–60 seconds. If you feel slipping, re-tuck the front rim slightly higher.
Pro Tips for a Comfy Fit
- Try insertion in the shower the first few times to stay relaxed.
- Empty sooner on heavy days to prevent overfilling and leaks.
- A gentle “bear down” helps locate the pubic bone for that final tuck.
- Pair with Feminy period panties on your heaviest days for extra peace of mind.
Troubleshooting
It leaks
Usually the front rim isn’t tucked high enough. Re-tuck behind the pubic bone and empty sooner on heavy flow. Ensure the back rim is seated behind the cervix.
I can feel pressure
Push slightly deeper and re-tuck the front rim. You should not feel the disc when placed correctly.
Removal is messy
Remove seated on the toilet. Relax and bear down, hook the front rim, keep level. Practice in the shower until confident.
Low or high cervix?
Most users are fine with our standard disc. If placement feels tricky, test on lighter days and adjust angle. Consult a clinician for guidance.
FAQs
How long can I wear it?
Up to 12 hours total wear time (empty sooner on heavy days). You can sleep with it within that limit.
Can I have sex while wearing a disc?
Many users can, because discs sit higher. If you feel discomfort or shifting, remove first.
Can I use it with an IUD?
Many do, but ask your healthcare provider first. Break the seal gently and avoid pulling IUD strings during removal.
How long does a disc last?
With normal care, 12–24 months. Replace earlier if you notice tears, stickiness, or shape changes.
