Ecoblossom Reusable Menstrual Disc - Menstrual Cup - Soft Period Disc for Women Designed with Flexible, Medical-Grade Silicone Period Cup (Black)

I hate tampons so I really wanted to find an alternative.This disc is better than the previous one I tried (Flex Disc. That one had no tabs and was single use). Keep in mind that these take practice and they're messy AF so only remove it in your home until you can figure out what works for you.I love the hook/loop to aide in removing this disc, but y'all, it's a damn massacre getting this thing out so do it in the shower! The first time I took this out, it was in the bathroom squatting over my pants and omg that was the absolute wrong way to do this. It got EVERYWHERE. The next time, I took it out in the shower and it was so much better!! Once it's in and it's in correctly, it's great!! You don't feel it at all. I'm gonna sleep in it tonight for the first time and will update my review.EDIT: My first night using this disc and woke up dry as a bone. Not a drop of blood anywhere! I decided to try taking the disc out while sitting on the toilet and that made a lot more sense than squatting in the shower every time I want to remove it. Removal was mess free and I was able to dump the contents right into the toilet. Super easy and I'm hoping this is always this easy because I'm done with tampons! Make sure you insert it with the tab right under your pubic bone though, otherwise you'll struggle getting the disc out.EDITING AGAIN TO ADD: Ok ladies, this thing definitely takes practice but it is worth it! This is my second period using it and this time is going much smoother than the last time, so you just have to figure out how this works best for you. I love that you can put it in and not worry about it for up to 12 hours.The easiest way I'm finding it take put it in is to fold it in half with the tab facing outward, squatting down, insert it then stand up to finish inserting it behind the pubic bone. Staying in a squatting position will make it harder for insertion.To take it out, do it while on the toilet, lean back a bit, reach for the tab and pull it out. Empty contents into the toilet and wash it out. I'll agree with others that the double rim is unnecessarily thick which makes it a bit difficult to fold up and shove up there, but it gets done. You just have to know when to angle up or down.4TH AND FINAL EDIT: I'm over a year in on using these. Invest the time to get used to these and you won't regret it. Taking them out and putting them in have become second nature. I don't feel them. I don't leak anywhere. They're amazing. I'm even adding a star to my rating.

Are you looking into using an alternative to tampons? Are you new to discs and cups? If so, read this review to help you make the choice. I would like to firstly say, I recommend the disc over the cup 100%!This disc specifically: I love how soft and flexible it is but it is just a bit stiffer around the rim which I needed and it makes inserting it a lot easier. I love the tab which helps with locating and removing the disc a lot easier. It is recommended to change empty it every 12 hours but I accidently left it in too long a couple times and I still didn't have any leaks. I have a heavy period so that was a huge surprise. I also normally don't forget because tampons and cups are noticeably there and tampons caused me a lot of pain so for this to be so comfortable that I forgot it was there was AMAZING! I have a tilted uterus and I have no issues with this disc.Cups vs Discs:I stopped using tampons and went to cups first. The cups didn't work for me I couldn't get them in far enough, so they didn't sit comfortably and didn't suction good causing leakage all the time. It also caused pain but nothing like tampons did. I could also notice it was there all the time. Cups use suction to stay in and to form to your walls so it can catch everything. Since they use suction, you can always feel that slight pressure against your walls. If the tiny holes around the top get clogged, you have to make sure you clean those out or it won't allow the cup to suction. The cups are easier to insert and remove since they only go in a tiny bit and have a stem at the end. It's just like inserting and removing a tampon. You have to fold the cup (you can google the best folds.) but because of this I couldn't get the cup to unfold completely once it was in me therefore it couldn't suction properly, in turn causing leakage.The discs go all the way up in and sit right under your uterus so there is no pressure or pain. The placement also stops cramping and is so comfortable you don't even notice it is there. Putting it in is a lot easier then what you think. You squeeze and insert, Once you insert you do have to take your finger and push the one side up and tuck it behind the pelvic bone. You have to be really comfortable with yourself and also with blood because it can be messy and hard the first couple times but once you get it once it is super easy and fast after that. I also never get any blood on me now, I love that this disc has a hoop on it so it makes finding and removing the disc SUPER easy. If you pull the tab correctly it also makes it so the disc empties right into the toilet without getting any on yourself. I also love that you can also have intercourse with the disc in and there is absolutely no blood or mess! The position of your uterus could be an issue, but it is highly unlikely, You CAN use this with a tilter uterus, depending on which way it is tilter and how far.I could go on with information but if you are debating between the two as long as you are comfortable with inserting it into yourself then I would 100% say go with the disc!

I want to start off this review by saying that I dont normally leave reviews, but this product has changed my life. I bought the 2 pack of small and regular discs hoping for some type of financial relief from having to buy tampons and pads and to be more eco friendly. I also bought the eco blossom menstrual cups but found that the discs were a better fit for my body.My flow is so heavy that I was put on birth control to lighten it and I still went through a box of Ultra Tampons every cycle. I would often times find myself worried about not changing my tampon in time and getting stains on my clothes, ever since I have been using these discs, I have not had to worry about it at all. I have had these disc for a few months now and I even went through a irregular period cycle while switching birth controls last month. I had my period for almost a full month and never once worried about stains or changing my tampon in time to not get TSS. I have confidently worn white multiple times while using these discs and this product has never failed me. I have noticed that my severe cramps have lessened, I do not bloat as easy, and I am in an overall better mood throughout my period ever since trying this product. I’m not sure if it’s the lack of chemicals in the tampons that I’m no longer using or what but I love it.If you have been debating trying out a disc or a cup, get these eco blossom ones. They are so affordable and are actively saving me money and pain. I have recommended this product and brand to all of my friends and family with periods, and even some of the friends and family members that have a significant other that has a period as a gift idea. These discs are so comfortable, leak free, easy to use, and easy to clean. I do not feel the least bit dramatic by saying that this product has changed my life for the better. So a note to everyone, buy this product. And a note to eco blossom, keep doing what you’re doing, you’re amazing and thank you!

Information that would've helped me as a first time disc user:As a beginner, trying more sizes with less $ spent was my goal as I wasnt sure what to expect, so I got this (2 sizes and $15) instead of Flex reusable (1 size & $17). I got the regular (cyan) and small (purple, even though the product image is pink) with silicone loop tabs. I have a moderate-low cervix and have not been pregnant / given birth. The singular loop tab doesn't stick out but if there were 2 loops, it would if not tucked. For flow reference, I change out super tampons every 2-3 hours on the first 2-3 days and the flow gets lighter after that.Here are the actual measurements of the discs:Regular (tried on off period day):68mm diameterI can still feel this one while sitting down normally - not enough to be painful but enough to notice. It didn't auto-dump as I went #1. I opted not to wear this one the first period and likely won't in the near future because it feels too big and not "like nothing" which is how a disc should feel like when inside.Small (tried during period):60mm diameterI can't feel this one while sitting down (on my second ish period day now) - feels like as if I had nothing in, similar to my experience with tampons. Doesn't autodump no matter what (I prefer this), which are all good signs for a perfect fit. The loop is handy for taking it out, and personally did not have a lot of mess, maybe a dot or two of blood on my finger - I was also not graceful in taking it out too.Overall, pretty happy to not have to deal with dangling tampon strings going to the bathroom and wearing backup pads on the first few days in case I soak through tampons. I also don't have to worry about leaking at night.I'm thinking of getting a second small size so I can change it out for a clean one in the shower, and sanitize the used one after the shower.Cons:- Some difficulty inserting because of the rim's firmness as a beginner. I'm sure my technique will improve but, this might be a deal breaker for others, so keep in mind.- The loop part of the disc is thicker silicone to avoid flimsy and weak loops prone to breakage - which yes makes the loop stronger and last longer due to how much the loop is used, but will contribute to the discomfort of putting that part in. I can bear it but more sensitive folks will have difficulty.- As one reviewer mentioned, the loop is attached to the basin, but this makes it theoretically more comfortable since it's not adding more bulk to the rim (and less chance to leak) while giving the ease of removal. It's a give and take... come on now.- It does slow the pee flow a bit so that could also be a deal breaker. I'm fine with that part for the time being.- I've worked a lot with fabric and the "cotton" bag it comes with is very shiny, which leads me to believe it's nylon or polyester and not cotton which the product images says it to be. The quickest way to test this is the burn test but I don't care enough for that since I'll be using the saalt container.Keeping it at 4 stars due to product description inconsistencies and lack of transparency for bag, and diameter width (mm) while also still being a good product for a beginner.

So I've used a cup for the last few years but with my tilted pelvis it sometimes was hard to get my cup to open up all the way and create a seal and not have leaks so I decided to try this disc. So here my review:Pros: it's easier to insert, easier to get a proper seal than the cup, it wasn't much of a learning curve to figure this one out, easy to clean, I like that you can still have intimacy (haven't tried internal stimulation, but external stimulation was not an issue)Cons: I had a hard time getting it back out even with a pull tab (maybe it's because I have short fingers) the pull tab slipped up into where the disc was and was hard to locate so it was easier to just grab the rim and pull, I can feel it more than the cup when it's inside me and it's hard to have a bowel movement without removing it.So all in all its not bad and the price is the same as a box of tampons but this lasts years. I will try it again next month to see if there is user error when removing it but I do like that there isn't any leakage or seal issues. Would recommend trying it out.

I don’t want to use this one again. I have the other one, from this seller, with the string thing. But I found the string too stretchy and I worried it would eventually break. And the string thing was a bit uncomfortable. So, I “upgraded” to the one with the loop. I was so excited for it. But it has a serious flaw that has happened to me twice now. One, might be an issue with myself where it seems to be tight in there and suctions deep inside right up to my cervix and I can’t get it out. Just grab the loop, you say? I would have loved to. However, that little sucker is curved and it folded in on itself so the loop disappeared. I had nothing to grab onto. I couldn’t get my finger to the edge of the lip, nothing, it was too far up. Last time, I think the auto dump feature worked and I was able to grab the rim and pull it out. This time, I had to get my husband to retrieve it for me since the auto dump feature wasn’t working. That’s a best friend/awesome husband for you!But, truly, I don’t recommend this one anymore. That tab, even though it’s on there securely, is flimsy and folds in towards the disc so it’s between the tab and the disc and it just disappears. The “O” shape turns into a “C” shape (since the O is folded in half), rendering it useless.It was a nice idea that I wanted to have work. But, it didn’t.

This is my first time using a menstrual disc, and I've used it for two cycles now. The disc is easy to insert and remove. I thought I would have trouble with it, but it's actually pretty intuitive.Now that I've had experience using a menstrual disc, I definitely prefer using a disc over a cup. When I used a cup, I could never completely figure out how to properly position it so that there wouldn't be leakage. Half of the times I inserted a cup, I would have so much leakage that you'd think there wasn't a cup in there at all. I always needed a pad or a liner just in case. With a disc, basically the entire area of your cervix is covered, so there's no leakage. It's wonderful having the peace of mind knowing that my panties won't be drenched in blood just 15 minutes after inserting it.I would actually give this menstrual disc a 4.5 rating if I could. And the only reason it's not a 5 is because removing the disc is very messy. This isn't because this cup is worse compared to others, I think it's just the natural physical limitations of the design. Because the disc is basically in a tilted position when you pull it out, the blood naturally spills out. For me, I'm willing to deal with that. But if period blood pouring on your fingers every time you pull it out is too unpleasant for you, I would suggest you find a menstrual disc that has a design to prevent spilling when removing the disc. I know the Diva brand has a disc with a design like that, but it's like $35.

Finally found something that fits well and works! I have tried various cups and could never get a good "seal." The disc is the way to go, for sure. It is easy to insert, goes right into position, and is so comfortable that I don't even know it's there. I love that it has the pull tab- so much more convenient and functional!

Two discs for £14.99 on prime was the best value option I could find on amazon. These are oval silicon discs which are 7cm long 6.5cm wide and 4cm deep. They are soft and I experience no uncomfortable suction effect. The rim is more rigid so it's easy to fold and insert, and also stays rigid for emptying. It's a little thick to insert so you may need to use lubrication. I love the ring pull to get these out. They are soft and the material is flexible.They are a little big for me even though I have a high cervix. The end can slip out a little during the day and give me a bit uncomfortable feeling, but I think this is a sizing issue. I've not experienced any leaking with these, even if I'm coughing, laughing, or working in the garden.They are good value and if used for a long time, they are good for the environment tooRecommend.

Ich trage seit ca. 2002 Tamponalternativen und habe schon viele Tassen und Menstruationsscheiben getestet . Bei dieser ist selber wenn man Erfahrung damit hat das entfernen fast unmöglich. Die lasche ist im Körper auch nicht greifbar weil sie starr nach hinten liegt . Der Rand war auch so fest das man nicht drunter kam . Ich würde es überhaupt nicht weiter empfehlen

É muito largo, impossível de usar de tao incómodo. Ja estou habituada a usar este tipo de produto, mas este é impossível. Grande demais e duro, nao consegui usa lo nem por um minuto.

I was so scared to use this item. I've put it off for ages. Today was the day and after a YouTube tutorial I did it. It was easy and worked the first time. I put the tab in the wrong way but I still easily got it out without the tab. I located my pubic bone pretty easily, I honestly was not sure I was capable but it's right there you can't miss it.I would highly recommend this to women with mobility issues, reach issues, plus sized women. Women who can only use applicator tampons. It's been 6 hours and leak free so far.

The rim is definitely firmer than any previous discs I’ve used, so if you think this would cause you pain then you may want to pass. I bought the smaller version and that firmer rim has made these the first discs that I’ve ever had 100% confidence that they’ll stay leak free all day. Softer versions have always had the possibility of untucking from behind my pelvic bone if I sneeze or something, but these stay firmly in place. Getting the correct size I think is probably more crucial with this disc than other softer ones, for a comfortable and secure fit. I’ve just ordered another two so I have plenty of spares for years to come.
