Using the my mimi menstrual disc can take a little practice. That is normal. Most issues come down to insertion angle, positioning, sizing, or learning how the disc should sit inside your body.
This guide covers smoother insertion, proper placement, leaks, removal, comfort, and cleaning so you can feel more confident each cycle.
A menstrual disc should sit high in the vaginal fornix, just below the cervix, with the front rim tucked securely behind the pubic bone. When positioned correctly, it should feel comfortable, stay in place, and be barely noticeable.
If insertion feels tricky, slow down and adjust your angle. A small change can make a big difference.
A water-based lubricant can make insertion smoother, especially when you are new to discs or feeling tense. Apply a small amount to the rim of the disc and the vaginal entrance before inserting.
Leaks usually happen when the disc is not sitting under the cervix, the rim is not tucked behind the pubic bone, or the disc is full on a heavier flow day.
If the disc slips, it may be sitting too low or not tucked securely. Reinsert it slowly and push the front rim up and back once it is in place.
Sometimes what looks like leaking is residual fluid left in the vaginal canal after insertion, removal, or repositioning.
It is uncommon, but the loop tab can shift position, especially after movement or intercourse. Stay calm and use your pelvic floor muscles to help move the disc lower.
If you can feel your disc, it may be sitting too low or pressing in the wrong spot. A correctly placed disc should feel comfortable and secure.
Difficulty inserting a disc is common at first. Tension, dryness, angle, and body position can all affect how easy it feels.
If insertion feels difficult, do not force it. The disc should be guided back towards the tailbone and then tucked behind the pubic bone. A gentle angle change often works better than pushing harder.
Proper cleaning helps keep your disc hygienic, comfortable, and ready for reuse.
Rinse your disc with water and wash it with a gentle cleanser designed for reusable period products.
Place your disc in a clean my mimi GO, fill to the internal line with water, and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
Boil your disc in water for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep it away from the sides and bottom of the pot to avoid damage.
Do not sterilise your my mimi menstrual disc in the dishwasher. This can damage the silicone.
The my mimi loop tab is designed to make removal easier and more controlled. If you cannot reach it straight away, relax, bear down gently, and hook the rim or tab once the disc moves lower.
These guides can help you troubleshoot your fit and technique in more detail.
Menstrual discs can take a little practice. That does not mean you are doing anything wrong. Once you understand the right angle, placement, and tuck, the my mimi menstrual disc should feel more comfortable and reliable.
