Quick answer
The my mimi Large menstrual disc is designed for people over 30 or those who have given birth vaginally. It offers a larger diameter and higher capacity (61ml), helping it sit securely, reduce leaks, and provide up to 12 hours of comfortable wear.
Large menstrual disc - why size matters after 30 or childbirth
Choosing the right menstrual disc size can significantly affect comfort, performance, and confidence. The Large my mimi menstrual disc is designed specifically for people over 30 or those who have given birth vaginally, where changes in anatomy can influence how internal period products fit and perform.
As the body changes with age or after childbirth, the pelvic floor and vaginal shape may shift. A larger disc is designed to accommodate these natural changes, sitting securely in the vaginal fornix without slipping or leaking.
Why a larger menstrual disc can feel more comfortable
A disc that is too small may struggle to stay tucked behind the pubic bone, especially during movement or on heavier flow days. The Large my mimi disc has a wider diameter that helps it stay in place once positioned correctly.
This can lead to fewer leaks, less repositioning, and a more reliable wear experience throughout the day and overnight.
Higher capacity for heavier or longer days
The Large my mimi menstrual disc holds up to 61ml, making it one of the highest-capacity reusable menstrual discs available in Australia.
This higher capacity is well suited to:
- Heavier flow days
- Long workdays or travel
- Overnight wear
- People who prefer fewer changes
For many users, this means up to 12 hours of wear with confidence.
Designed for confidence and easy removal
The my mimi menstrual disc is made from 100% medical-grade silicone and is TGA-compliant and FDA-registered. The material is soft, flexible, and designed to move with your body.
A key feature is the loop tab, which supports controlled and easier removal. This is particularly helpful for those transitioning from tampons or menstrual cups, or anyone feeling unsure about removal.

Is the Large disc right for you?
The Large size is generally recommended if you:

Supporting care and maintenance
To keep your disc comfortable and hygienic, it’s important to follow proper care routines. The my mimi disc can be cleaned with water and a gentle cleanser, such as the my mimi gentle foaming cleanser, and sanitised between cycles.
You can find full care instructions in the menstrual disc instructions and care guide.
