Are you hearing more and more about menstrual discs, but aren't sure if they're right for you? You're not alone! We all have different needs and preferences when it comes to our periods, and it can be difficult to navigate all the options out there.
The menstrual disc is a reusable solution that's gaining popularity for its comfort (you're not supposed to feel it while wearing it) and its practicality. With its large capacity, you can wear it for up to 12 consecutive hours (even during sex) and there's no need to create a suction effect for it to prevent leaks. But is it really suited to your reality, your body, your daily life?
To help you see things more clearly (and without pressure!), we've prepared a quick quiz for you. Whether you're curious, a beginner, or simply thinking about it, this quiz will help you better understand whether the menstrual disc could be your next ally for experiencing your period differently.
What is a menstrual disc?
The menstrual disc (or disc-type menstrual cup) is a reusable menstrual product designed to collect blood inside the vagina, below the cervix. It is flexible, made of 100% medical-grade silicone, and stays in place thanks to the support of the pubic bone, without the need for suction, unlike the traditional menstrual cup, which is positioned in the vaginal canal and requires the creation of a suction effect to stay in place.
The benefits of the menstrual disc:
- It prevents leaks for up to 12 hours, even with a heavy flow.
- It is very comfortable: once in place, you no longer feel it if it fits you.
- It can be worn during sports, swimming, sleeping and even sex (yes, really!).
- It is eco-responsible and economical: a single disc can be reused for several years.
And at Fornix, we've designed a menstrual disc (available with or without a stem) that's suitable for most people, whether you're a beginner or experienced, to help you experience your cycle with more freedom and gentleness.
