I used to dread my period every month—not just the cramps or mood swings, but the anxiety around managing it. For years, I relied on tampons, but recently they started feeling really uncomfortable. I’m guessing my body has changed over the last 10 years, because I just couldn’t wear them anymore.

That left me with pads... and honestly? I loathe them. They’re bulky, irritating, and just not for me.

The Search for Alternatives

Determined to find a better solution, I started researching and came across an ad for a period cup. I gave it a go, really wanting it to work. But it just didn’t feel right. The suction-based design and firm silicone rim made me constantly aware of it, and I couldn’t get comfortable no matter how I tried.

So I kept looking and stumbled upon Kim Rosas’ Period Nirvana channel on YouTube. That’s where I first learned about period discs—and wow, what a difference.

Enter: Hello Disc

I decided to try the Hello Disc, and honestly? Total game changer.

It was incredibly easy to insert (even as a first-time user)

It felt nothing like the cup—way more comfortable

I had no leaks, no discomfort, and no stress

The best part? You only need to empty and rinse it twice a day—once in the morning and once at night. That’s it. No running to the loo every few hours, no awkward moments, no constant worrying.

Final Verdict: 100% Recommend

If you’ve struggled with tampons or cups and hate pads as much as I do, try a period disc—especially the Hello Disc. It’s completely changed how I experience my period, and I genuinely feel more in control and at ease.

This disc is quite firm but you do get the hang of it eventually

Just amazing. I have used a cup for the last few years, but on and off have had to use tampons as the cup just couldn’t cope with my heaviest days. This disc has been an absolute game changer. I have used it for two cycles now and not a single leak. It’s easy to insert and I can’t feel it at all. Also very easy to remove due to the loop. Would 100% recommend this to anyone!

After a very traumatic experience with a menstrual cup I have been very reticent to try any product outside the traditional ones. But as I hit perimenopause and my periods have become heavier and last longer, I was getting fed up with leaks and countless tampons and pads. I did some research and the fact this disc has a loop, plus the videos from the co-designer made me give this product a try. I’m so glad I did so! It’s super easy to insert (although I’m yet to master the art of keeping it folded) and once in you don’t feel it at all! The first day I tried it with the loop sticking out and it was a bit uncomfortable for me, so I have tied it with bottom loop flipper over the top loop and I cannot feel it at all. Is easy to clean and discreet. The only con is it doesn’t come with a storage case, but I am converted and will not go back to any product.
