how do i know if my menstrual disc is in right?

how to check if your menstrual disc is positioned correctly

Ensuring your menstrual disc is inserted correctly is essential for comfort and leak prevention. Here’s how to tell if your disc is in the right place:

1. comfort check

A properly inserted my mimi menstrual disc should feel comfortable and unnoticeable.

• No discomfort: If you experience pain or pressure, the disc may not be inserted correctly.
• Feels natural: Once positioned properly, you shouldn’t feel the disc inside.

2. proper placement

Check that your disc is correctly positioned to prevent shifting.

• Tucked behind the pubic bone: The rim should sit securely behind your pubic bone for a stable fit.
• Not protruding: The disc should be fully inside the vaginal canal and not visible or felt at the opening.

3. leak prevention

Proper positioning helps maintain a leak-free experience.

• Creates a secure seal: If your disc is leaking, try repositioning it to ensure a proper seal.
• Check capacity: If leaks persist, the disc may be full and need to be emptied.

4. ease of movement

When positioned correctly, the my mimi menstrual disc allows for free movement without discomfort.

• Move freely: You should be able to walk, sit, and exercise without feeling the disc.
• No shifting: If the disc moves, it may need readjustment.

5. finger check

Use a clean finger to verify placement.

• Feel for the rim: It should be resting behind the pubic bone.
• Check for full expansion: If the disc feels folded or uneven, reposition it.

6. insertion angle

Unlike tampons, menstrual discs should be inserted at a horizontal angle.

• Insert horizontally: Push the disc back, not up, for the best fit.
• Practice makes perfect: It may take a few tries to find the best angle for your body.
