How to Find and Measure Your Cervix Height

Image
Who knows exactly where their cervix is? If your answer is “not me,” you’re not alone — and that’s completely okay! Cervix height is one of those things most of us don’t think about unless a doctor mentions it. It’s certainly not an everyday conversation, but knowing your cervix height and position can make a big difference when choosing and using menstrual discs or cups. Your cervix is the narrow opening at the base of your uterus where your period flow is released. Understanding its height can help you select the right period cup or disc and insert it comfortably and correctly. Measuring it is simple: with clean hands, gently insert a finger into your vaginal canal until you feel something firm and round, like the tip of your nose. That’s your cervix! If you feel it after one knuckle, it’s low; after two knuckles, medium; after three or not at all, it’s high. Your cervix can shift throughout your cycle, so the best time to check is at the beginning of your period. And remember — e...

Reusable Menstrual Products: Navigating the Learning Curve

Image
Getting used to a reusable period product like a menstrual cup or disc can feel overwhelming at first. It might even take you back to those early days of your first period — when everything felt unfamiliar, and you weren’t quite sure what to do. But just like then, with a little patience and practice, it becomes second nature. Here’s what you can expect as you adjust to using your period cup or reusable menstrual disc , along with tips to help you feel more confident and comfortable. Learning Your Body: Building Comfort and Confidence One of the biggest adjustments with using a menstrual cup or disc is becoming more familiar with your anatomy.

How to Prevent Spills when Removing your Menstrual Disc (or Mess-Free Menstrual Disc Removal Tips):

Image
Using a menstrual disc is a game-changer—hello, comfort, longer wear, and leak protection! But let’s be real: removing it can get messy. Here are some quick tips to keep it clean and stress-free. Wash Your Hands – Keep things hygienic before reaching in. Relax – Tense muscles make removal harder, so take a deep breath. Find Your Position – Sit on the toilet, squat in the shower, or prop a leg up. Hook and Pull – Use a finger to hook the notch or pinch the rim for control. Go Slow & Keep Level – Lean back slightly and pull steadily to avoid spills. Use Period Underwear for Back-up – Residual blood can lead to spotting, so wear a pair of leakproof panties for an extra layer of protection. Optimal Timing for Removal The best time to remove your menstrual disc is when it's not completely full, typically at 70-80% capacity. This gives you more control and reduces spillage risk. Early morning or before bed are ideal times when flow is typically lighter. Anatomical Considerations...
