Softdisc Menstrual Discs – Disposable Period Discs for Heavy or Light Periods | 12-Hour Leak Protection | Tampon, Pad, and Cup Alternative | Capacity of 5 Super Tampons | HSA or FSA Eligible (24 ct.)

These are a LIFE CHANGER! Once I learned how to use these I realized I will never use a tampon over one of these ever again. I’ve recommended these to all of my girlfriends. As a girly with a super heavy flow for the first 3 days I only go through 2 tops in 12 hours but that’s only for my day 2 flow. Otherwise one of these works all day long with no leaking or anything. They do take a little getting used to but I am SO happy with these.

I only started using disposable menstrual discs a few months ago, but I'm hooked. I wouldn't say I enjoy my period now, but I don't dread it the way I did back when I used pads, or even when I used to use tampons. Before finding period discs, I thought that tampons with the plastic applicators were the best invention ever. However, I enjoy my 8+ hours of sleep, which means I had to set an alarm for 4am to change my tampon in the middle of the night. For a while, I tried disposable incontinence underwear for overnight and not only are they embarrassingly obvious (my husband liked to tease me for wearing diapers), no matter what brand I tried, they don't breathe. You can try putting a cotton panty liner inside them, but it's not very comfortable in the summer. I then tried period underwear for overnight, but I often needed to add a pad, which would always move, despite the wings, and would seem to leak, despite how long the pad was.ENTER DISPOSABLE DISCS! I was weirded out by menstrual cups, and there's no way I'm going to sanitize a reusable thing in a kitchen pan or wash it on-the-go in a public bathroom. I've recently switched to the Softdisc brand because 1) it's the most available at local stores when I run out and 2) I find the combination of flexibility and firmness of the rim to be the most easy to insert and the most comfortable.To me, comfort means:1) not feeling the menstrual product (to me, pads are uncomfortable and a thing of the past, and tampons can hurt, especially if you're in a pinch and need to use a cardboard applicator.)2) I've also tried a few different disposable discs and these are the best fit.3) Insertion: there's no front notch or weird way you need to pinch the disc to insert it. You just fold it like a tampon shape, push it up, and use a finger to push the rim behind your pubic bone. It may take a few times to figure out the learning curve, but it's so worth it.4) You don't have to remove it and replace it with a new one when you go to the bathroom! What I disliked about tampons was having to replace it every time I peed. I was pretty thrilled when I started using another type of disposable disc that self-emptied when you pee, but it was difficult to reinsert it afterwards (not to mention messy and a bit scary). I also didn't care to reinsert it in a public place. I felt as though the chance of leaking was greater since the disc had a mind of its own.5) So far, I haven't had any leaks (fingers crossed!) With the soft disc brand, it stays up there until you remove it, so I don't worry about needing to bring tampons if I go out or the disc shifting and leaking while I'm doing housework or taking a walk.6) Cost! This entire bag is just a few dollars more than the box of 14 at your local store, but contains 24! That's equivalent to over 120 tampons! Plus, if you do subscribe & save with amazon, you get an even better deal and you can stock up.7) The discs are flexible to insert and to not feel them, but they're rigid enough to relieve my cramps. I used to get horrible cramps and couldn't get out of bed for 1-2 full days per period. Now, I can do everything I want to, without feeling like I have to hold back.

I’ve been using these for over a year now, switched from the flex disc. These feel so much more comfortable and don’t leak. The flex ones I’ve used never fit right, also are a little bigger and leak with any big movements. Honestly these are best switch I’ve made, way more comfortable than tampons and less mess than a pad. Discreet and long wear which is a plus!

For long time I tried to make menstrual cups work for me but the insertion and removal were complicated, difficult, and painful, so I went back to pads. Then I heard about discs! The insertion and removal are so much easier and not painful at all (which would’ve been a deal breaker for me). As someone with a heavy flow, I love that I can wear this all day and not worry about changing my pad or whatever. I’ve also noticed that cramps are not as bad when I wear discs.

I read a lot about these and decided to take the leap to try away from a lifetime of tampon usage. What drew my curiosity was the lessened risk of TSS and other horror stories we women read about on the leaflets on tampon boxes. The materials do not allow absorption which evidently don’t encourage bacterial growth. I will admit it was a little awkward at first to figure out where or how they go in. But after looking at lots of anatomy pictures and some trial and error I think I got it figured out! Best part is, you can have sexy time with it in as it’s virtually undetectable by my partner. No more “not tonight” in our house ;) I’ve also read COUNTLESS success stories of these helping aid pregnancy for women who have had some fertility issues previously when used after s3x to give swimmers more time ;) lol no personal experience in that department however, but a unique experience I’ve definitely seen talked about extensively online.

I wish these were around 20 years ago. Easy to use. I've noticed less painful and shorter cycles since switching from tampons. Night and day difference. 10/10

I have stage 4 endometriosis and experience spotting for about 2.5 weeks at a time. Thankfully, these have been a game-changer! They don’t cause any irritation or discomfort, and I can go about my day without worrying about leaks or needing a pad. Truly life-changing!On my heavier days, I usually stick to my usual routine with super-plus tampons or pads (as I can go through one in about two hours or less). I haven’t fully tested these during heavy flow days when I’m out and about, but at home, they’ve worked perfectly. I’m just a little hesitant to try them on a heavy day outside of my comfort zone.Pro tip: Keep disposable gloves handy! When removing, I use a glove, turn it inside out with the product inside, and it’s an easy, mess-free cleanup. 😊

I liked these a lot at first. I’ve almost used a whole package so now that the newness has worn off I’m not sure how I feel. They definitely haven’t been as comfortable the last couple of times I’ve used them.
