Live a life without limits with bodyotics

Navigating the world of menstrual products can be overwhelming, but the Bodyotics menstrual disc offers a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to traditional options. In this guide, we'll answer the most common questions users have about our menstrual disc—from how to clean and empty it, to tips for finding your perfect fit. We'll also cover topics like whether the disc can get stuck, if it reduces cramps, and how it compares to menstrual cups. Whether you're new to menstrual discs or looking for a better experience, this overview will provide all the information you need.

Do I clean it after every use? 

Yes the Bodyotics period disc should be cleaned after every use before reinserting. 

How to know when to empty a disc?

A menstrual disc should be emptied every 12 hours, which is the maximum recommended wear time. We offer two sizes, S and L, that you can choose based on your body type and the amount of menstrual fluid you typically experience.
S size can be better for low cervix and L better for high cervix but many users can use both of them. Find your fit by testing!
With a bit of trial and error during your first cycle, you'll learn the optimal time to change it.

Will it leak during the night?

Our disc is suitable for both light and heavy flows, creating a comfortable seal at the base of the cervix. It can collect up to 2.02 oz (60ml) of blood, which is equivalent to the capacity of 5+ tampons, offering protection for up to 12 hours — 4 hours longer than the recommended wear time for a tampon. This means you're covered, even overnight.

Self-Emptying a Menstrual Disc

What is "Auto-Dumping" with a Menstrual Disc?

"Auto-dumping" or "self-emptying" is a phenomenon that occurs for some (but not all) menstrual disc users. It happens when the wearer goes to the bathroom and the disc releases some of its contents into the toilet, seemingly on its own. This can occur due to the combination of sitting on the toilet and the pressure from urinating or defecating, which temporarily shifts the disc, allowing some blood to be released.

Does this mean the disc leaks more than a menstrual cup?

Not really. This usually only happens during bathroom breaks and isn't a problem at other times. In fact, for those with a heavy flow, this self-emptying feature can be a real advantage!

Reusable discs

Bodyotics discs are reusable and you can wear them for up to 10 years. There are some single-use period discs on the market but we are committed to saving the planet and your wallet, and stick to reusable products.

Removal of the menstrual disc

Insert a finger into your vagina and hook it around the pull ring. If you’re not using the pull ring, simply hook your finger under the rim of the disc.

Can you use a menstrual disc with a tilted cervix?

Yes and no. A tilted cervix is fairly common and doesn’t usually prevent the use of menstrual discs. The flexible design of the disc allows it to adapt to different anatomical variations, including a tilted cervix. However, it may take a bit of trial and error to find the best position and fit for you and for some people depending on your unique anatomy it might not be the best fit.

It’s important to ensure that the disc creates a secure seal at the base of the cervix to prevent leaks. If you’re unsure or experience discomfort, you may want to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Can a period disc get stuck?

Menstrual discs do not get "stuck" in the way a menstrual cup does because it doesn’t create suction. If it feels difficult to remove, it may have moved higher up during use or penetration, but it can be easily retrieved by relaxing, changing positions, and gently hooking a finger under the rim to pull it out.
Relaxation is the key. 

Can you use a disc with an IUD?

Bodyotics menstrual discs are generally safe to use with an IUD as they create less suction than for example menstrual cups.

When inserting an IUD, please consult your doctor or gynecologist for medical advice. It's always wise to double-check based on your circumstances.

Can menstrual discs reduce cramps?

Some customers say that they seem to reduce some period-related pain. This might happen because menstrual discs sit in the widest part of the vagina. Tampons, on the other hand, sit lower in the vaginal canal, which is much narrower. However there is no scientific proof on this subject.
