Finding something that finally worked

I discovered the my mimi menstrual disc at 38, after two decades of frustration with pads and tampons. I used to dread my period every month - not because of the pain, but because nothing ever felt comfortable. Tampons dried me out. Pads made me self-conscious. And cups, though better, always felt a bit fiddly.

When I first read about my mimi, I was sceptical. I’d seen all the talk online about discs but assumed they were complicated or messy. Still, after one too many leaks at work, I ordered the Small disc and promised myself I’d give it an honest try.

The first time using it

The first time I used the disc, I followed the step-by-step guide on the Instructions page. It was easier than I expected - the fold was simple, and once it was in place, I couldn’t even feel it. The FAQ page answered every question I had about fit and removal, especially around the loop tab, which made all the difference.

By day two, I was completely converted. No leaks, no irritation, and no rushing to the bathroom every few hours. It just worked - quietly, comfortably, and without fuss.

Everyday life, simplified

What surprised me most was how much calmer I felt. I could go to the gym, sit through long meetings, even wear light clothes without worrying. The Size Guide helped me understand the difference between the Small and Large discs, and I ended up buying both to have options depending on flow.

When I travelled to visit friends in Brisbane, I only packed one disc and the Foaming Cleanser. That was it - no bulky supplies, no waste. It made me realise how much mental space I’d given to managing my period.

Why I’ll never go back

The my mimi menstrual disc has genuinely changed how I experience my period. I no longer plan my week around it. The disc sits higher, feels softer, and is far easier to remove thanks to the loop tab. And knowing it’s TGA-compliant and FDA-registered gives me full confidence in using it long term.

I also love that it’s an award-winning Australian brand recognised as the Best Sustainable Period Care Solution in Australia 2025. It feels good supporting something trusted and thoughtfully made.

If you’re thinking of switching, I’d suggest reading Why You Should Switch to Reusable Period Products or exploring Menstrual Disc Troubleshooting. They helped me feel confident before trying it for the first time.

Note: my mimi menstrual discs are made from 100% medical-grade silicone and are available in two sizes, with a loop tab for easy removal. TGA-compliant and FDA-registered.
