how to remove your my mimi menstrual disc

The my mimi menstrual disc features a flexible design with a removal loop tab for added convenience. Follow these steps:

step 1: locate the disc

Gently insert a finger into your vagina until you feel the front rim of the disc or the loop tab. If the disc sits high, bear down slightly with your pelvic muscles to bring it closer to the vaginal opening.

Hook your finger through the my mimi disc’s removal loop tab. This feature simplifies retrieval, making it easier and reducing mess.

step 3: remove the disc

• Empty the menstrual disc into the toilet.

tips for smooth and mess-free removal

1. practice before your period

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.

finding the best removal position

Everyone’s body is different, so experimenting with different 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.

why relaxation matters

Pelvic muscles can tense up if you’re stressed, making removal harder. To ease tension:

• Take slow, deep breaths.
• Ensure you’re in a comfortable, private space.
• Remind yourself that removal gets easier with time.
