my mimi Named Best Sustainable Period Care Solution in Australia for 2026

my mimi has been named Best Sustainable Period Care Solution in Australia for 2026 by the Australian Health & Wellness Awards.

This marks the second year in a row that my mimi has received this recognition, highlighting the brand's continued role in helping Australians choose reusable, practical and more sustainable period care.

As more people look for alternatives to disposable pads and tampons, the my mimi menstrual disc has become part of a growing shift towards reusable period products that support comfort, confidence and lower-waste living.

Recognising a Better Approach to Period Care

The Australian Health & Wellness Awards recognise brands contributing to better health, wellbeing, accessibility and lifestyle outcomes across Australia.

my mimi was selected as the 2026 winner for its focus on sustainable period care, reusable menstrual products and education-led support for people looking for alternatives to traditional disposable products.

At the centre of the my mimi range is the reusable menstrual disc. Unlike pads and tampons, a menstrual disc is designed to be worn internally and collect menstrual fluid. With proper care, it can be reused for years, helping reduce ongoing product waste and long-term period costs.

Why the my mimi Menstrual Disc Stands Out

The my mimi menstrual disc was developed for real daily life. It is made from soft medical-grade silicone and is designed to sit below the cervix, offering up to 12 hours of protection before it needs to be emptied.

Unlike many menstrual cups, a menstrual disc does not rely on suction to stay in place. This can make it a comfortable option for people who want reusable period care without the same suction-based fit. You can learn more in our guide to how menstrual discs work.

Key features of the my mimi menstrual disc include:

• Two sizes to support different anatomies
• Soft medical-grade silicone
• Up to 12 hours of wear
• Reusable design for long-term use with proper care
• Loop tab for easier removal
• Self-emptying capability during bathroom visits
• TGA-compliant and FDA-registered

These features have helped make my mimi an established and trusted Australian period care brand, used by thousands of customers looking for comfortable reusable protection.

Sustainable Period Care Without Giving Up Comfort

Sustainability continues to influence how Australians choose personal care products. Period care is no exception.

Disposable period products can create ongoing waste month after month. Reusable options, such as menstrual discs, offer a longer-term alternative for people who want to reduce waste while still feeling protected throughout the day.

The my mimi menstrual disc is designed to support work, sleep, movement, travel, swimming and everyday routines. For people trying a disc for the first time, our step-by-step guide to how to use a menstrual disc explains insertion, wear and removal in simple terms.

Designed in Two Sizes

Every body is different, which is why my mimi offers two menstrual disc sizes. Choosing the right size can support comfort, fit and leak protection. For more detail, visit our menstrual disc size guide.

Small Menstrual Disc

The Small menstrual disc may suit many users who are under 30 or have not given birth vaginally.

• 61mm diameter
• 35.2mm height
• 32ml capacity
• Holds up to 5 regular tampons

Large Menstrual Disc

The Large menstrual disc may suit many users who are over 30 or have given birth vaginally.

• 68mm diameter
• 39.2mm height
• 61ml capacity
• Holds up to 7 regular tampons

Education-Led Support for First-Time Users

Reusable period care can feel unfamiliar at first, which is why education is a major part of the my mimi approach.

The brand provides practical information about sizing, insertion, removal, cleaning, troubleshooting and menstrual health so customers can make informed choices. Helpful starting points include our menstrual disc instructions, our guide to menstrual disc troubleshooting and our article on menstrual disc safety.

A Milestone for Reusable Period Care in Australia

Being named Best Sustainable Period Care Solution in Australia for 2026 is an important milestone for my mimi, but it also reflects a broader shift in how Australians think about period care.

More people are looking for products that feel comfortable, reduce waste and fit into everyday life. Menstrual discs are helping reshape the conversation by giving customers another option beyond pads, tampons and menstrual cups.

For customers who are ready to explore reusable period care, the menstrual disc collection includes the my mimi menstrual disc and supporting products designed to make the switch easier.
