Softdisc Menstrual Discs – Disposable Period Discs for Heavy or Light Periods | 12-Hour Leak Protection | Tampon, Pad, and Cup Alternative | Capacity of 5 Super Tampons | HSA or FSA Eligible (24 ct.)

I was a little hesitant to try menstrual discs, but I’m really glad I gave Softdisc a chance. These have been a total game-changer. They offer great protection for both heavy and light days, and I love that I can go up to 12 hours without having to think about it. That said, there is definitely a learning curve. I wouldn’t recommend these for someone who is new to menstruation or still getting used to their body, but once you get the hang of insertion and removal, they’re easy to use, leak-free (as long as they’re inserted correctly), and honestly, you can’t even feel them.The first time I used one, there was definitely a moment of panic: “How am I going to get this out?” Take a breath, relax, and bear down—it will naturally begin to move forward. Then hook the edge of the disc with your middle finger and pull it out horizontally to minimize spills. For removal, I typically wear a disposable glove. After removing the disc with my gloved hand, I slowly pull the glove off over the disc, fully encasing it before tossing it in the trash. This method has made the process quick, easy, and surprisingly mess-free.I’ve worn these while swimming and during high-intensity workouts without any issues—no leaks or shifting. They’ve also been discreet and comfortable during intimacy. Neither my partner nor I could feel it, and the experience remained mess-free. (As a reminder, these do not prevent STIs.)Overall, Softdiscs are a great alternative to tampons or pads, especially for people looking for something low-maintenance with longer wear time. If you're comfortable with your body and open to learning something new, I highly recommend giving them a try.

For long time I tried to make menstrual cups work for me but the insertion and removal were complicated, difficult, and painful, so I went back to pads. Then I heard about discs! The insertion and removal are so much easier and not painful at all (which would’ve been a deal breaker for me). As someone with a heavy flow, I love that I can wear this all day and not worry about changing my pad or whatever. I’ve also noticed that cramps are not as bad when I wear discs.

I only started using disposable menstrual discs a few months ago, but I'm hooked. I wouldn't say I enjoy my period now, but I don't dread it the way I did back when I used pads, or even when I used to use tampons. Before finding period discs, I thought that tampons with the plastic applicators were the best invention ever. However, I enjoy my 8+ hours of sleep, which means I had to set an alarm for 4am to change my tampon in the middle of the night. For a while, I tried disposable incontinence underwear for overnight and not only are they embarrassingly obvious (my husband liked to tease me for wearing diapers), no matter what brand I tried, they don't breathe. You can try putting a cotton panty liner inside them, but it's not very comfortable in the summer. I then tried period underwear for overnight, but I often needed to add a pad, which would always move, despite the wings, and would seem to leak, despite how long the pad was.ENTER DISPOSABLE DISCS! I was weirded out by menstrual cups, and there's no way I'm going to sanitize a reusable thing in a kitchen pan or wash it on-the-go in a public bathroom. I've recently switched to the Softdisc brand because 1) it's the most available at local stores when I run out and 2) I find the combination of flexibility and firmness of the rim to be the most easy to insert and the most comfortable.To me, comfort means:1) not feeling the menstrual product (to me, pads are uncomfortable and a thing of the past, and tampons can hurt, especially if you're in a pinch and need to use a cardboard applicator.)2) I've also tried a few different disposable discs and these are the best fit.3) Insertion: there's no front notch or weird way you need to pinch the disc to insert it. You just fold it like a tampon shape, push it up, and use a finger to push the rim behind your pubic bone. It may take a few times to figure out the learning curve, but it's so worth it.4) You don't have to remove it and replace it with a new one when you go to the bathroom! What I disliked about tampons was having to replace it every time I peed. I was pretty thrilled when I started using another type of disposable disc that self-emptied when you pee, but it was difficult to reinsert it afterwards (not to mention messy and a bit scary). I also didn't care to reinsert it in a public place. I felt as though the chance of leaking was greater since the disc had a mind of its own.5) So far, I haven't had any leaks (fingers crossed!) With the soft disc brand, it stays up there until you remove it, so I don't worry about needing to bring tampons if I go out or the disc shifting and leaking while I'm doing housework or taking a walk.6) Cost! This entire bag is just a few dollars more than the box of 14 at your local store, but contains 24! That's equivalent to over 120 tampons! Plus, if you do subscribe & save with amazon, you get an even better deal and you can stock up.7) The discs are flexible to insert and to not feel them, but they're rigid enough to relieve my cramps. I used to get horrible cramps and couldn't get out of bed for 1-2 full days per period. Now, I can do everything I want to, without feeling like I have to hold back.

I’ve been using these for over a year now, switched from the flex disc. These feel so much more comfortable and don’t leak. The flex ones I’ve used never fit right, also are a little bigger and leak with any big movements. Honestly these are best switch I’ve made, way more comfortable than tampons and less mess than a pad. Discreet and long wear which is a plus!

These are a LIFE CHANGER! Once I learned how to use these I realized I will never use a tampon over one of these ever again. I’ve recommended these to all of my girlfriends. As a girly with a super heavy flow for the first 3 days I only go through 2 tops in 12 hours but that’s only for my day 2 flow. Otherwise one of these works all day long with no leaking or anything. They do take a little getting used to but I am SO happy with these.

Ladies, I don’t know why I didn’t try these sooner and am only upset I didn’t find them long before I did. I have an extra heavy flow, causing a lack of confidence with all traditional pads and tampons or menstrual cups. I have never had as much confidence in a product as I do these disks!! These have been life altering for me. It’s no mess, no fuss and makes life so much easier during menstruation and THE MOST comfortable product I have used in my 32 years of womanhood. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I used to wear tampons and switched to these maybe 3 years ago. At first they were a bit challenging to figure out as far a leakage and how to insert just right. Now, they're super easy to insert and just so much more comfortable than tampons.They can be messy, but I use them with gloves and keep it moving. I also wear a thin flex foam pad underneath for any minor leakage. Once you understand your body and movements, the leakage won't be a significant issue. It just takes some practice to get it right. The 24 pack is a good deal and I definitely recommend!
