Choosing the right period product isn’t only about absorbency - it’s about feeling confident, supported, and comfortable in your own body. That’s why my mimi offers its reusable menstrual disc in two carefully designed sizes, including a Small option created specifically for teens, people under 30, and those who haven’t given birth vaginally.

If you’re new to internal period care, the Small my mimi menstrual disc is a gentle and approachable place to start. Made from ultra-soft, medical-grade silicone, it flexes naturally with your body while holding up to 32ml of fluid - more than three regular tampons. Once inserted, it sits securely behind the pubic bone and can be worn for up to 12 hours of leak-free protection.

For many first-time users, size makes a real difference. A smaller diameter can feel less intimidating, is often easier to insert, and may feel more comfortable for those with a lower cervix or tighter pelvic floor muscles. The my mimi disc also includes a signature loop tab, designed to make removal simple and reassuring while you’re still learning.

The Small disc is especially popular with younger and more active users. Whether you’re heading to school, playing sport, swimming, or travelling, it offers a discreet and secure option that moves with you – no strings, no bulky pads, and no daily disposable waste.

What sets my mimi apart is its focus on safety, education, and long-term support. The brand is TGA-compliant and FDA-registered, and every product is backed by clear instructions and a growing library of beginner-friendly guides. In 2025, my mimi was recognised as the Best Sustainable Period Care Solution in Australia, reflecting its trust among thousands of Australian users.

If you’re ready to move away from disposables, the Small my mimi menstrual disc offers an affordable, low-stress entry into reusable period care. At around 83 cents per month over five years, it’s a practical choice for your body, your budget, and the planet.
