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

These discs are an affordable and convenient alternative to menstrual cups. Compared to cups, these discs flatten out to approximately the diameter of a tampon and insert easily without requiring suction to stay secure.I chose these discs as a beginner because of their affordability compared to other disc products, and so far they have held up to regular use and sterilization. They do not have a loop/tab/string to help with removal, making removal slightly challenging but not impossible. I have not experienced any issues (such as leaks or "auto-dumping") while using them on both heavy and light days.Overall these discs are a great budget choice. I look forward to using these as an eco-friendly alternative to disposable products.

I was using the June disc for a while because it was pretty cheap, but eventually I punctured it and had to throw it out. I bought these instead because you can't beat the deal of two for this price. If you've never used a disc before, understand that the learning curve can be steep at times and you probably will leak for a little while if you're not inserting it properly. Don't give up though! Learn about your body and figure out your own anatomy and I promise this thing slides in no problem. I can wear it all day and all night without leaks, unless my flow is incredibly heavy and it fills up. Even then it's as simple as going to the bathroom and it empties out on its own. You will have messy hands when you put it back in place, but honestly worth it for the comfort, ease of use, and length of time you can wear it without having to wash it. I have absolutely no cramps from this the way I got them from tampons. And if you have a copper IUD like me, this is the perfect product for you.One note: if you buy these in cute colors, they don't stay cute for long. They will stain eventually and even boiling them before every cycle won't get the stains out. They work just fine and they're not dirty, but they definitely look different after a while.

Worked well but I couldn’t get it out!!!!!!! I put this in after only trying the disposable version previously. It was a heavy day so I used the large. Worked wonderful, no leaking after 12hrs…but when I went to pull it out I couldn’t get it!! It’s like I had it in too perfectly. I couldn’t break the seal no matter what I tried. I even tried using a crochet needle- nothing. I thought I was going to have wake up my husband. Somehow I did eventually get it. I’m not even sure what I did. But it was so stressful I didn’t want to put it back in. Once I figure out how to get it out easily I’ll be in business

Thin and don't hold there spot quite right but might not be for me

I went through my cycle without any paper products for the first time in my life!!! There’s a slight learning curve with insertion: I bought a natural lube and an inserting tool (which didn’t arrive until after my period). I would say lube is necessary & I found that squatting in the tub, pinch the disc and insert pointing slightly downward towards the floor. I also got freaked out for a second, the first time removing & found that squatting>sitting. The self-dump feature, for me wasn’t an issue it just happened when I used the toilet. I would not recommend leaving it in for 12 hours, I tried emptying/washing/reinserting more often. I had lost track of time and unintentionally auto-dumped in the bathroom, soaking my panties. Luckily not my favorite pair!! I did not buy any special wash, I used an unscented “baby” dish soap- washed thoroughly and dried with a lint-free TP between uses. I don’t think I’m bothered by the lack of loop/string, it works just fine this way. I look forward to trying the insertion tool I bought separately, next time. I feel liberated by the lack of scratchy scraping tampon experiences, no leaky pads & best of all I had no noticeable odor lingering on my clothes/the bathroom/complaints about the bathroom trash smelling like blood.Pads and tampons are so expensive these days! I will save money and not be self-conscious about the smell of blood oxidizing in my panties/trash/clothes.

I was new to discs and cups but opted for the disc. My set came with small and large discs. I had no idea how high/low my cervix was nor did I think I needed to know until I couldn’t get this disc out. I spent hours crouched in the bathroom trying to get it out. I was on the verge of tears. I could reach it with my fingers but I couldn’t get it to dislodge because it was suctioned into my cervix. I decided to lay down in bed to relax for a few minutes and try again a bit later. After about 3 attempts I was finally able to get it out. That was the first time and last time I used the eco blossom disc. I opted for the Lumma disc with the string/tab and was marketed for high cervixes. This was years ago. The reason I decided to write this review was because I saw the application tool that they were selling and was considering it but decided against spending more money to use a product that wasn’t working for me. I just wanted to warn other new users against the emotional stress that can occur with this product as I also saw someone had to go to the ER and another to the clinic to get this removed. There are currently so many better products out on the market that will function much better without you having to spend more money on tools to remove it. Tips for those considering discs and cups, Learn how far up your cervix is. Lumma has an FAQ on how to figure it out. I don’t endorse Lumma but what I ended up using because there were limited options. There are so many more affordable options these days that if I wanted to spend more money I wouldn’t know where to begin. For now I’m ok with my choice.

Its a good price and a good product. I don't care much for the little bag that comes with it; but I don't hold that against the product. I started to use disposable disc because all the other menstrual alternatives caused me issues in one way or another. So once I discovered REUSABLE disc it was heaven. They are waaaaaaay cheaper that a diva cup and there is no uncomfortable suctioning. I've saved hundered of dollars since I don't have to purchase anything single use.
