Here’s a quick summary of the key points that came up most often:
- Former cup users love the added comfort
- Usually easy to insert and remove
- Auto-dumping is super convenient for daily use
- The only downside mentioned is that removal can be a bit messy

Why Switch to a Menstrual Disc?
The menstrual disc is a new alternative to menstrual cups and tampons.
It’s an internal protection that collects menstrual blood just like a cup,
but with a wider, flatter shape and a different positioning inside the body.
In recent years, more and more women have made the switch to menstrual discs,
and they’ve become a hot topic on social media thanks to the many advantages they offer:
- More comfort 🥰
- Ability to have mess-free sex 💋
- Higher capacity, holds more than two menstrual cups or five super tampons 🩸
- Auto-dumping system, allowing you to empty the disc without removing it 🚿
- IUD compatibility 🧡
With all these benefits, you might be thinking:
"It sounds too good to be true,"
"Where’s the catch?"
or "Does it really work?"
That’s why we decided to gather and summarize real user reviews from across the internet (Reddit, Trustpilot, Amazon) to find out what women really think about menstrual discs.
Reviews on Reusable Menstrual Discs
We searched through Amazon, Reddit, and Trustpilot to gather real reviews about various brands of menstrual discs, including the Ziggy Cup by Intimina, the Flex disc, Cora, Hello Disc, and more.
Here, we’ll share the most common feedback we found about menstrual discs,
to help guide you in your buying decision.
Positive Reviews About Menstrual Discs
For this woman, the menstrual disc was a "life changer".
With the menstrual cup, she often experienced leaks and struggled with insertion.
But since switching to the menstrual disc, she’s had no more problems inserting it and no more leaks.
This user tried the Cora brand disc and had no problems at all.
She found it easy to insert, easy to remove, and could self-empty without any issues.
She also experienced no leaks.
Feeling confident, she decided to try having sex while wearing the disc, and it went perfectly, she felt no discomfort at all.
For her too, the menstrual disc was a complete success.
This mom of three was used to dealing with constant leaks when using a menstrual cup or tampons.
But after switching to the menstrual disc, she was surprised and thrilled to find that she had no leaks at all, even with her very heavy flow.
Negative Reviews About Menstrual Discs
This user experienced her menstrual disc slipping out of her vagina, which caused leaks. This can happen during the first few tries, especially if you don’t have the right disc size.
If this happens to you, we recommend trying a different size, either smaller or larger, and seeing if the leaks continue.
Another user also experienced leaks during physical activity,
which is usually a sign that the disc isn’t the right size for her or that it’s not properly tucked behind the pubic bone.
Customer Reviews Summary
After reading through hundreds of customer reviews, we found that most people who tried the menstrual disc were highly satisfied. For many, it was a true revolution for their periods, no more leaks and a much more convenient experience.
However, some users were not fully satisfied, mainly due to leaks or the disc slipping out on its own.
At Cup&Co, we’ve also noticed that a few customers experience leaks or have difficulty using the product at first.
There are usually two main reasons for this:
-
Positioning issues:
This is common in the beginning, as mastering the technique can vary from person to person. -
Sizing issues:
If leaks persist even after good positioning, or if you still struggle to use the disc after several tries,
you may simply not have the right disc size.
That’s exactly why we offer a 90-day guarantee and a special offer: Buy 1 Menstrual Disc, Get 1 Free.
This way, every woman can test the menstrual disc freely and find the size that works best for her, helping to avoid leaks and ensuring the best possible experience.

Midwives’ and Gynecologists’ Opinions on the Menstrual Disc
During our study on menstrual discs, we consulted healthcare professionals to get their opinions on this type of protection.
The majority agreed that the menstrual disc is a great alternative to tampons and menstrual cups.
It is perfectly compatible with IUDs and well-suited for moms.
However, they do caution users about the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) and strongly recommend changing the disc every 8 hours at most.
They also remind users of the importance of proper care:
- Rinse the disc after each use
- Sterilize it at least once per menstrual cycle
If you’re unsure whether the menstrual disc is right for you, speak with your gynecologist.
They’ll be able to give you personalized advice based on your individual situation.
