Up to 12 hours of wear
Depending on your flow, a menstrual disc can be worn for up to 12 hours. On heavier days, you may need to empty it sooner.
Looking for a reusable menstrual disc in Australia? The my mimi menstrual disc is a flexible, suction-free period product that collects fluid internally rather than absorbing it.
Designed for everyday routines, it is available in two sizes, made from medical-grade silicone and can be worn for up to 12 hours depending on your flow and the product instructions.
my mimi is a reusable menstrual disc designed for people who want an alternative to disposable pads and tampons. It sits below the cervix, tucks behind the pubic bone and collects period fluid in a soft basin. With the right fit and placement, it should feel comfortable and largely unnoticeable.
To use a menstrual disc, pinch the rim into a narrow shape, insert it horizontally towards your tailbone, then tuck the front rim behind the pubic bone. It rests high in the vaginal canal, below the cervix.
Unlike a menstrual cup, a disc does not use cup-style suction. It collects menstrual fluid and can be removed using the integrated loop tab or rim, depending on your preference and technique.
How to use a menstrual discDepending on your flow, a menstrual disc can be worn for up to 12 hours. On heavier days, you may need to empty it sooner.
my mimi is available in Small (32 mL) and Large (61 mL), helping you choose a starting fit based on factors such as birth history, flow, cervix height and personal comfort.
Discs collect period fluid in a basin rather than absorbing it. Some people prefer this style of period care when moving away from tampons or pads.
The rim rests behind the pubic bone rather than using a cup-style suction seal. Correct placement and fit make the biggest difference to comfort and confidence.
With the right fit, many people use a menstrual disc for work, sleep, swimming, exercise and travel. Experiences vary by body, flow and technique.
With proper cleaning and storage, a reusable menstrual disc can reduce your reliance on single-use pads and tampons over time.
my mimi is designed to make reusable period care easier to learn, use and maintain. The right fit and technique matter, so it is normal to need a few tries or a cycle or two to find what works for your body.
Size is not simply about choosing the biggest capacity. Cervix height, vaginal birth history, flow and comfort preferences can all affect which disc feels most secure for you.
The my mimi size guide provides a useful starting point, but you may still need a little time and practice to learn what feels right.
Find your menstrual disc sizeDuring your period, rinse your disc and use a gentle cleanser suitable for reusable silicone period products when needed. Between cycles, sterilise it according to the product instructions.
Always allow the disc to dry completely before storing it in a breathable pouch. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach and abrasive cleaners.
Read the menstrual disc cleaning guideChoose a period-care brand that clearly explains its materials, size options, cleaning instructions and support process. You should also receive an intact hygiene seal and information that helps you use the product safely.
my mimi is made from medical-grade silicone, has two size options and is stocked online through my mimi and Chemist Warehouse.
The my mimi menstrual disc combines a soft silicone body, suction-free placement, two size options and an integrated loop tab to support easier removal. It is designed for people looking for a reusable alternative to pads and tampons.
Some people can wear a menstrual disc during penetrative sex, but it is not contraception and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Comfort and fit are individual.
Start with clean hands, take your time with insertion, and use the guides to learn the correct horizontal angle and pubic-bone tuck. A small amount of water-based lubricant may help some people during the learning stage.
If you have an IUD, pelvic-health concerns, persistent pain, unusual symptoms or trouble removing your disc, speak with a qualified healthcare professional for individual advice.
