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. Unlike pads or tampons, which you can place without much thought, menstrual cups and menstrual discs require a little hands-on approach. The more comfortable you are with your cervix and vaginal canal, the easier placement will be. Insertion & Removal Take Practice Both cups and discs should be inserted at an angle downwards and towards you...

A tilted cervix, also known as a retroverted cervix, occurs when the cervix tilts backward instead of pointing forward toward the vaginal opening. This is a common condition affecting about 25% of those with a uterus, and for most people, it causes no issues. However, it can be an important factor when choosing the best reusable period care products. Most people with a tilted cervix can safely use products like menstrual cups, menstrual discs , or leakproof underwear . Menstrual discs sit under the cervix in the vaginal fornix, which works well for those with a minor tilt. If the cervix is more tilted, adjusting the disc or trying a different size may help with fit. For those with a more pronounced tilt, a menstrual cup might be a better choice, as it sits lower in the vaginal canal and doesn’t require full coverage of the cervix. Cups also come in different sizes and firmness, like the Saalt Soft Cup , to ensure a good fit. Leakproof period underwear is another great option for extr...

Switching to a reusable menstrual product is an exciting step, and menstrual discs can be a great choice! But how do you find the right size? Let’s simplify it. Why Menstrual Discs? Menstrual discs offer up to 12 hours of wear, hold more fluid than tampons, pads, and period cups, and don’t rely on suction, making them ideal for IUD users. They can last up to 10 years, have self-emptying capabilities, and allow for mess-free period sex. Cervix Height Matters Understanding your cervix height is key to finding the perfect fit. Since it can move throughout your cycle, measuring it during your period can help. A lower cervix may mean a smaller disc is better, while a higher cervix might call for a larger size. Learn: How to measure your cervix Small vs. Regular Small: Best for lower cervix, teens, light flow, or sensitivity to larger products. Regular: Great for higher cervix, heavier flow, or those who’ve given birth vaginally. Tips for Success Consider your flow, age, childbirth histor...
