Why Won’t My Menstrual Disc Stay Behind My Pubic Bone?
If your menstrual disc, including the my mimi menstrual disc, isn't staying securely behind your pubic bone, it can be due to several factors. Here’s a detailed guide to help address this common issue and ensure proper placement:
-
Incorrect Insertion Angle Proper insertion angle is crucial for your menstrual disc to stay behind the pubic bone. The disc should be inserted horizontally rather than vertically, as this helps it sit comfortably in the vaginal fornix behind the pubic bone. If the angle is incorrect, the disc may not stay in place.
-
Size and Fit Issues The size of your menstrual disc might not be ideal for your anatomy. Menstrual discs come in various sizes to accommodate different body types and flow needs. If the disc is too small or too large, it may not sit securely. Consider trying a different size or model, such as the my mimi menstrual disc, to find a better fit.
-
High Cervix Individuals with a high cervix may find it challenging to position the disc correctly. If the disc is placed too high, it might not stay behind the pubic bone. Use your pelvic floor muscles to help maneuver the disc into the correct position and ensure it’s properly tucked behind the pubic bone.
-
Improper Placement Ensure that the disc is fully and correctly positioned. The rim of the menstrual disc should be securely tucked behind the pubic bone and not protruding. If the disc isn’t seated properly, it may shift or move out of place.
-
Inadequate Seal A secure seal is essential for keeping the disc in place. If there’s air trapped or the disc isn’t creating a proper seal, it may shift. Gently run your finger around the rim of the disc to ensure it’s fully seated and has created a snug seal against the vaginal walls.
-
Muscle Tension Tension in the pelvic floor muscles can affect the positioning of the menstrual disc. If you’re tense or anxious, it might be harder to get the disc into the right position. Try to relax and practice inserting the disc in a comfortable position, such as sitting or squatting.
-
Trial and Error Finding the right technique may take a few tries. Experiment with different positions, insertion methods, and sizes until you find what works best for you. Patience and practice are key to mastering the correct placement.
