First, know where it goes

Back, beneath the cervix, then tucked in front.

A menstrual disc sits inside the vaginal canal below the cervix. The back rim rests behind the cervix and the front rim tucks behind the pubic bone. It collects your flow rather than absorbing it.

  • 1PinchSqueeze the rim into a long, narrow oval.
  • 2Aim backGuide it towards your tailbone—not straight up.
  • 3TuckPush the front rim behind your pubic bone.

Before the first insertion

Prepare and sanitise your disc.

Do not skip this step. Your disc must be sanitised before first use and completely cool before insertion.

  1. 01

    Use a clean pot

    Add enough water to keep the disc fully submerged without the pot boiling dry.

  2. 02

    Boil for 3–5 minutes

    Lower the disc into boiling water with clean tongs. Try to keep it away from the hot base and sides.

  3. 03

    Cool and air dry

    Carefully remove the disc and let it cool completely on a clean surface before use.

How to insert your disc

Five calm, simple steps.

Try sitting on the toilet, squatting, or standing with one leg raised. Use whichever position helps your pelvic muscles relax.

  1. 01

    Wash your hands

    Start with clean, dry hands and a clean disc.

  2. 02

    Pinch it narrow

    Squeeze the middle of the rim so the disc forms a long, narrow oval.

  3. 03

    Guide it back

    Insert the pinched disc horizontally, aiming back towards your tailbone rather than upwards.

  4. 04

    Slide it into position

    Continue guiding the back rim beneath and behind the cervix until the disc is fully inserted.

  5. 05

    Tuck the front rim

    Use a clean finger to push the front rim up behind your pubic bone so it sits securely.

Helpful first-time tip: A small amount of water-based lubricant on the rim can make insertion more comfortable. Avoid oil-based lubricant, which may damage silicone.

Check the placement

How should it feel?

A correctly positioned disc should generally feel secure, comfortable and almost unnoticeable. You should not need to keep adjusting it.

  • ComfortableNo sharp pain or ongoing pressure
  • SecureFront rim tucked behind the pubic bone
  • Correctly placedDisc positioned beneath the cervix
  • Ready to wearUse backup protection while learning

When it is time to remove it

Slow, relaxed and level.

Removing your disc over the toilet can make the first few attempts easier and help contain spills.

1

Wash and relax

Wash your hands, sit on the toilet, lean slightly forward and relax your pelvic muscles.

2

Bring it closer

If needed, bear down gently with your pelvic muscles to move the disc towards the opening.

3

Hook the loop

Use a clean finger to hook the loop tab or front rim, then pull slowly and gently.

4

Keep it level

Keep the disc as level as possible while removing it, then empty the contents into the toilet.

Never force removal. If it feels difficult, pause, breathe, change position and try again. If you cannot remove the disc, seek medical assistance.

Clean, reuse, repeat

Your care routine.

During your period, empty and clean the disc each time you remove it. Between cycles, sanitise it and store it dry in a breathable pouch.

During your cycle

  1. Wash your hands.
  2. Empty and rinse the disc.
  3. Wash with warm water and a gentle, fragrance-free, silicone-safe cleanser.
  4. Rinse thoroughly so no cleanser remains.

Between cycles

  1. Sanitise according to the product instructions.
  2. Allow the disc to air dry completely.
  3. Inspect the rim, bowl and loop for damage.
  4. Store it in its breathable cotton pouch.

Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, scented soap, oil-based products and abrasive cleaning tools.

First-time questions

A little troubleshooting.

Why is my disc leaking?

Check that the back rim has moved beneath the cervix and the front rim is tucked behind the pubic bone. The disc may also be full, especially on a heavier day. Empty it sooner and use backup protection while learning.

What if I can still feel it?

The disc may be sitting too low or may not be tucked securely. Remove it and try again, aiming back towards your tailbone. Stop if you experience pain or persistent pressure.

How long can I wear it?

Wear your my mimi disc for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow. Up to 12 hours is the maximum—not a target. Empty it sooner on heavier days or whenever needed.

Is it normal to need a few attempts?

Yes. A menstrual disc uses a different technique from a tampon or cup, and it can take a few attempts or cycles to learn what works for your body.

Can I sleep or swim while wearing it?

The disc can be used while sleeping or swimming when it is correctly positioned. Keep total wear within the 12-hour maximum and empty it sooner if your flow requires it.

What if I cannot remove it?

Pause, breathe and relax your pelvic muscles. Sit on the toilet, bear down gently, and try hooking the loop tab again. Do not force it. Seek medical assistance if you remain unable to remove it.

Your first cycle is practice

Take your time. Your technique will get easier.

Start somewhere comfortable, use backup protection while learning, and remember that needing a few attempts is completely normal.

Important: Do not wear the disc for longer than 12 hours. A menstrual disc is not contraception and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Stop use and seek advice from a qualified health professional if you experience pain, ongoing discomfort, unusual symptoms, or difficulty removing the disc.
