Getting comfortable with inserting and removing your my mimi menstrual disc before your cycle starts can help build confidence.
2. remove in the shower
The shower is a great place to practise removal as it minimises mess and provides a relaxed environment.
3. use the "auto-dump" technique
Gently bearing down before removal can allow the disc to self-empty, making the process cleaner.
4. line the toilet bowl
Placing toilet paper in the bowl before removal helps reduce splashback and simplifies clean-up.
5. keep a water bottle handy
When on the go, carry a small water bottle to rinse your my mimi disc after removal, ensuring a quick and hygienic refresh.

Every body is different, so experimenting with various positions can help you find the easiest method for removal. The my mimi disc’s removal loop tab adds flexibility, allowing you to choose what works best.
