Flow Rider Menstrual Disc

A period disc (also known as a menstrual disc) is a reusable disc made from medical-grade silicone, designed to be inserted into the vagina and sit at the base of the cervix to collect menstrual fluid.

It’s not rocket science, it’s super simple. You fold the disc and insert it into your vagina, where it opens up. When it opens up at the base of your cervix, it collects your flow with no leaks. Unlike tampons that absorb fluid, period discs collect it, making them a healthier option for your body. You can wear it for up to 10 hours, depending on your flow. Once it’s full - remove, empty, rinse and reinsert. Easy peasy! 

Eco-Friendy: Period discs are reusable, which means you’re not adding to the mountains of rubbish from single-use products. One disc can last 5 years if you look after it. 

Cost-Effective: Think of the money you’ve already spent on period products… And how much money you’ll save in the future every month. A period disc is a one-time purchase and pretty much pays for itself in a few months. 

Healthier Choice: Made from medical-grade silicone, period discs are free from harmful chemicals, bleaches and toxins found in many disposable products. Plus, they reduce your risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).

Convenience: Imagine not having to change your tampon every few hours, Period discs hold more fluid and can be worn longer, making them perfect for busy days or overnight use. 

Ok, you might be shocked to hear this but it’s a lot! 
Depending on what size you choose (ours come in various sizes) they can hold anywhere between 32ml - 43ml. That equated to roughly 3-4 tampons worth! For heavy flow days, that means fewer bathroom breaks and more time for practically anything! 

We’ve created options because two women aren’t the same, much like two periods aren’t the same. 
Your size is dependent on your flow, your cervix height and anatomy. Confused? Don’t worry, we got you! Check out the size guide here

Ok, breathe, relax - you got this girl. Hot tip - Get to know your body and find what works for you. Don’t expect to get it right the first time, it might take a few tries so make sure you have plenty of time on your hands.

Before we get into it, make sure you sterilise your disc before first use in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. 

Now ensure you wash your hands before getting up into your thing, clean water and mild soap will do just fine. 

The most important thing - RELAX! You can’t insert a disc when your muscles are all tensed up. So find a comfortable position, you can sit, you can squat, or put one foot up on the bath. Have a play with what works for you.

Fold your disc into a figure 8 shape. Pinching from the middle is where it's at. Once in shape, it will slide on in.

Slide it into your vagina and down towards your tailbone. Make sure it's fully opened up. You’ll know you’ve done it right when you hear a pop.

You’ve slayed your day or slept all night, now it’s time to work it out. Again, make sure your hands are washed. 

Sit, squat, or put your leg up (however you felt most comfortable inserting it). Go on in and find the edge of the disc. Gently pull on the string and empty. Rinse, reinsert, rock and roll

If you’re unable to rinse it, wiping it out is completely fine too. 
At the end of your cycle, give it another sterilise and store it away until next month. 

We believe in you babe!
If period discs aren't your thing, give the period cup a try!
