Ecoblossom Reusable Menstrual Disc - Large Menstrual Cup - Soft Period Disc for Women Designed with Flexible, Medical-Grade Silicone Period Cup (Large, Black)

These cups work really well, they are easy to clean, easy to use and durable. The only downside that I have found is they can be difficult to remove as they don’t have a tab to pull like some of the others and I don’t use the bag that it comes with because I feel it’s not as sanitary as a washable plastic container that some of the others come with but those things seem more of a personal preference than a product flaw. Since changing over to cups versus tampons, I have noticed a huge improvement in my cramping and discomfort. I will only ever use a tampon now if it’s an emergency and I don’t have one of these with me.

I was using the June disc for a while because it was pretty cheap, but eventually I punctured it and had to throw it out. I bought these instead because you can't beat the deal of two for this price. If you've never used a disc before, understand that the learning curve can be steep at times and you probably will leak for a little while if you're not inserting it properly. Don't give up though! Learn about your body and figure out your own anatomy and I promise this thing slides in no problem. I can wear it all day and all night without leaks, unless my flow is incredibly heavy and it fills up. Even then it's as simple as going to the bathroom and it empties out on its own. You will have messy hands when you put it back in place, but honestly worth it for the comfort, ease of use, and length of time you can wear it without having to wash it. I have absolutely no cramps from this the way I got them from tampons. And if you have a copper IUD like me, this is the perfect product for you. One note: if you buy these in cute colors, they don't stay cute for long. They will stain eventually and even boiling them before every cycle won't get the stains out. They work just fine and they're not dirty, but they definitely look different after a while.

Worked well but I couldn’t get it out!!!!!!! I put this in after only trying the disposable version previously. It was a heavy day so I used the large. Worked wonderful, no leaking after 12hrs…but when I went to pull it out I couldn’t get it!! It’s like I had it in too perfectly. I couldn’t break the seal no matter what I tried. I even tried using a crochet needle- nothing. I thought I was going to have wake up my husband. Somehow I did eventually get it. I’m not even sure what I did. But it was so stressful I didn’t want to put it back in. Once I figure out how to get it out easily I’ll be in business

Overall, a decent product. These are more comfortable than the Flex disposable menstrual discs. I did not experience any leaks and no complications during sex. My boyfriend said that he could feel it, but it was less aggressive than Flex disc. However, I have difficulty with insertion and removal. The disc tends to lose its shape during insertion and can ball up on itself. I have to go at it least two times and feel around the edge to ensure proper placement. Upon removal, I can usually grab an edge and snap it over the fornix then pull right out from the non fill side. Not so with this. I have to get a finger over the edge and pull from the inside (filled side). It gets pretty messy. In addition, after sex, I went to remove the disc and it had shifted, seemingly further into my canal somehow, and it was very difficult to retrieve. I will keep using as they are quite comfortable and I like the reusable aspect to save money.

These discs are awesome. I prefer them to tampons, & other disposables. In addition to holding your menstrual blood, you can still be intimate with this in. Your partner may feel it, but it’s a similar feel to what the ring felt like. It’s not bothersome to either participant. Don’t hesitate, it will stay in! Easy to clean & store. I like having 2 when on the go. Carry one on you & leave one at home. Once you get the hang of how to insert & remove, you’ll love it. Just plan on making a potential mess the first time you remove it. Use lube or at least wet it if you’re having a hard time inserting.

TMI review but this is what you're here for. I'm a Registered Nurse and a doula. I'm also an experienced cup and disc user. I've used three different cups routinely over time. They work well but the suction sometimes made me uncomfortable and can't be worn during sex. I switched to discs. All were disposable with a fairly rigid ring. I loved them but sometimes I had a hard time getting them to sit just right and after research it looked like the disposables (soft cup mainly) were a bit too big for my 5' 1" frame so they would pop out when I moved if I was too active (sex, aerial silks, on my feet all day...) Sex worked mostly with the disposible but the edges can be...sharp for a partner occasionally. But most of the time the disposables were so great. I wanted to try reusable ones and I loved that this set had a large and small size to try. The flexibility looked gentle and comfortable for both of us. Increased flexibility is not a good thing in this case. Insertion was the worst thing I've had to do to my poor vagina aside from a home birth. They aren't stiff enough to insert. Imagine putting a cooked spaghetti noodle into the eye of a needle. Imagine putting a limp...I don't know but it doesn't work. I had to insert the thing with three fingers stabilizing it the length of my hoo hoo until I could feel my pubic bone and cervix both. I struggled though it and got it up there but I could never get the discs to open fully when inside. I tried multiple times with both discs, with and without a drop of lube to help. Nothing helped. Once up above my pubic bone they kept crumpling up like wadded tissue. I know how to feel my cervix and these NEVER opened all the way inside me. I could feel exactly where it should be and the disc itself. The ring always left a gaping hole on the side no matter the size and leaked continually. I never had a problem with the other discs. These are just cheap and not worth it. The colors and texture are alluring but I swear to you these are the worst option for menstruation I've come across. The vagina says it wants something soft and yeilding for periods like the video but those products make the experience so much worse. Try something else. Soft cup and flex are great for most. I'll update if I find something better than this.

Good

I love how well this seals from a leak perspective, however I do find it makes emptying it an experience. I've yet to find a way of breaking the seal and removing that isn't...messy. IMO, make sure you do it in a private stall with a sink. I'm going to look for an option that has a firmer silicon ring. Supposedly, this is designed so that you can hook under to remove, however in three months I've yet to achieve this - the silicon ring is just too soft. I switched to this from Flex discs, which were definitely (having now tried this) just a little too large for me, and so never sealed properly. This is miles better in that regard, though I do find that the more flexible silicon ring is harder to insert than the Flex. I also find the firmer silicon base means it's far more fit for purpose than disposable discs. N.B. I had originally switched to disposable discs as cups really don't work for me and there wasn't, a couple of years ago, a reasonably-priced silicon option in Canada, where I was then living. Basically, this is a decent disc option.
