You're thinking about it, but you're not entirely sure yet. Will it be comfortable? Easy to use ? Is it really worth changing your menstrual routine? If you're asking yourself these questions, you're not alone.
Many people hesitate before trying a reusable menstrual product, and that's perfectly normal. It's an intimate act, a change of habit, sometimes even a small leap into the unknown.
At Fornix, we know this. And that's why today we're giving the floor to those who have taken the plunge. Their names are Jacinthe, Isabelle, MP, Lydia, Benny, Erika, Julie, and Jeanne. They tested the Fornix reusable menstrual disc for the first time and agreed to share their experience, with transparency and authenticity.
What do they have in common? Like you perhaps, they had doubts at the beginning. And they discovered a product that changed the way they experience their periods.
Here are their testimonies.
1. Before trying: the most common (and legitimate!) concerns
Switching menstrual products, especially to reusable ones, can raise a lot of questions . Will I know how to use it? Will it be comfortable? Will I have leaks? What if I can't remove it?
These doubts are common and perfectly valid. Even among those who chose the Fornix menstrual disc, many spoke openly about them before their first try:
"I had a little trouble inserting it the first time." – Isabelle
"It's true that the installation isn't super straightforward." – Benny
"I hesitated because of the capacity, and I wasn't sure it would be more comfortable than a regular haircut." – Lydia
But as you will see, for many, these fears quickly turned into surprise and even enthusiasm.
2. The first impression: a mix of surprise, adaptation, and relief
The first use may require a little patience. But what often comes up in testimonials is that " wow " feeling once the disc is properly positioned.
"A well-placed shot, it's a charm!" – Isabelle
"First use and Wow!" – Erika
"Tried it for the first time this month and I love it." – Julie
"Inserting it worked on the first try, so I really didn't have any problems." – Lydia
And what did many feel? Comfort. Freedom. Simplicity.
As if, all of a sudden, the rules took up less space in their daily lives.
3. What they particularly like about the Fornix Disc
The Fornix menstrual disc was designed to combine comfort, reliability, and autonomy. And that's exactly what users emphasize:
Absolute comfort
. "I don't feel a thing, as many have already said." – Lydia.
"It doesn't give any sensation of pressure like the old model." – MP
Freedom for 12 hours
"No need to worry about 12 hours, it's magic!" – Benny
"Blissful peace, one 12 hours at a time." – Julie
Fewer leaks, more confidence.
“No leaks, even on heavy days.” – Julie
. “I no longer have leaks, whereas I often did with the menstrual cup.” – Jeanne
Practical details that make all the difference:
"Removing the disc with the ring makes it easy. I highly recommend it!" – MP
"Removing the disc with the small handle was reassuring and prevents dropping it in the toilet bowl." – Lydia
Some even mention the advantage of being able to partially empty the disc without removing it completely , a feature much appreciated compared to traditional menstrual cups.
4. They compare their experience to the menstrual cup (and prefer the disc)
For many, the Fornix Menstrual Disc offered a solution to the limitations experienced with menstrual cups:
"The cup was okay, but I didn't use it very regularly because of leaks." – Lydia
"I find it much more comfortable and effective than a traditional menstrual cup." – Jeanne
"The Dcup goes in the bin, and fast!" – MP
These testimonials show that a reusable product can be pleasant, safe, and easy to integrate into one's routine, even after a bad experience.
5. A reusable product that changes everything
In addition to their comfort, Fornix menstrual discs are part of a larger approach: gently reclaiming one's period while taking a concrete step for the environment.
