What is a menstrual disc?

A menstrual disc is a flexible, reusable period product designed to collect menstrual fluid rather than absorb it. It sits comfortably in the vaginal fornix, just below the cervix, where it stays securely in place during daily movement.

Because discs collect fluid instead of absorbing it, they typically hold more than tampons or pads. Compared to menstrual cups, discs sit higher in the vaginal canal and do not rely on suction, which many people find contributes to a more natural, barely noticeable feel during wear.

Most menstrual discs can be worn for up to 12 hours, making them a practical option for long workdays, overnight use, travel, and busy schedules. Some people also choose discs for intimate moments, since their placement leaves the vaginal canal unobstructed. Please note, sex is not recommended while wearing the NEYA disc due to the removal string.

At NEYA, we have refined the disc experience with features designed to support real-world use:

  • Multiple size options to accommodate different cervix heights, body anatomy, and flow levels
  • Starter and value bundles that allow you to try more than one size and identify your ideal fit
  • An optional applicator created specifically for those who want added guidance and confidence during insertion

Why choose a menstrual disc over other period products?

Menstrual discs are known for their high capacity, often holding the equivalent of four to six regular tampons. This makes them especially helpful during heavier flow days, when frequent changes can interrupt daily life.

NEYA discs are made from 100% body-safe, medical-grade silicone. The material is soft, flexible, and designed to move with your body, making it suitable for long hours of wear, physical activity, and overnight protection.

Discs also offer a different kind of comfort compared to pads and tampons. There is no external bulk and no internal dryness, which many users find results in a more natural overall experience throughout the day.

Choosing a reusable disc is also a sustainable and cost-conscious decision. With proper care, one disc can last for years, significantly reducing the number of disposable products used over time. This supports both environmental responsibility and long-term savings.

Are reusable menstrual discs safe to use?

Yes. Reusable menstrual discs made from medical-grade silicone and are considered safe for internal use when cleaned and used according to instructions. Medical-grade silicone is non-porous, body-safe, and widely used in medical devices. For most people, discs are a well-tolerated option for routine period care.

How long can you wear a menstrual disc?

Most menstrual discs can be worn for up to 12 hours, depending on flow level. This longer wear time is possible because discs collect rather than absorb menstrual fluid. For heavy flow days, some users may prefer to empty the disc sooner for comfort.

Can beginners use a menstrual disc?

Absolutely. While there is a learning curve, many first-time users adapt quickly with proper guidance. Choosing the correct size and using an insertion aid, such as the NEYA applicator, can help beginners feel more confident and comfortable during the adjustment period.

How do I know which menstrual disc size is right for me?

Disc size is influenced by cervix height, flow volume, and individual anatomy. Smaller discs often work well for lighter flow or a lower cervix, while larger discs provide added capacity for heavier flow or a higher cervix. Many clinicians recommend trying both sizes if you are unsure, especially since cervix height can vary during your cycle.

Do menstrual discs cause suction like menstrual cups?

No. Menstrual discs do not rely on suction to stay in place. Instead, they sit securely in the vaginal fornix, supported by your anatomy. This design difference is one reason some people find discs more comfortable than cups, especially during long wear.

Can you sleep or exercise while wearing a menstrual disc?

Yes. Menstrual discs are designed to move with your body and are commonly worn during sleep, work, and physical activity. When properly fitted, a disc should remain in place without shifting during normal movement.

How long does a reusable menstrual disc last?

With proper cleaning and storage, a reusable menstrual disc can last for several years. This longevity makes discs a cost-effective option over time and significantly reduces reliance on disposable period products.
