Who is it for?
The my mimi Menstrual Disc Applicator is ideal if you:
- Are new to menstrual discs
- Feel nervous about insertion
- Prefer not to use your fingers for insertion
- Want greater control during insertion

Whether you've never used a menstrual disc before or simply want a more convenient way to insert one, the applicator is designed to make the experience feel simpler and more intuitive.
Product Features
Designed for menstrual discs
The applicator securely holds your folded menstrual disc before gently guiding it into position.
Comfortable insertion
The smooth, rounded design helps make insertion more comfortable while providing greater control than finger insertion alone.
Reusable
Wash with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free or pH-balanced soap after each use. Rinse thoroughly, allow it to air dry, then store with the protective cap fitted. Avoid boiling, harsh chemicals or high heat.
Compact
Measuring just 10 cm long, the applicator fits easily into your handbag, backpack or travel bag.
How to Use
Step 1 - Fold your menstrual disc
Wash your hands thoroughly, then fold your clean menstrual disc in half. Place the folded disc into the opening of the my mimi Menstrual Disc Applicator so it sits securely.
Step 2 - Insert the applicator
Find a comfortable position, such as sitting on the toilet, standing with one leg raised or squatting. Gently insert the applicator into the vagina, aiming slightly back towards your tailbone rather than straight upwards.
Step 3 - Release the disc
Slowly push the inner plunger until the menstrual disc is released into place, then carefully remove the applicator.
Step 4 - Check the position
Use a clean finger to ensure the front rim of the menstrual disc is tucked securely behind your pubic bone. If needed, gently adjust the position until it feels comfortable.
Step 5 - Clean and store
Wash the applicator with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free or pH-balanced soap. Rinse thoroughly, allow it to air dry completely and store it with the protective cap fitted until your next use.
Helpful Tips
- Relax your pelvic floor muscles before inserting your menstrual disc.
- A small amount of water-based lubricant can make insertion even easier.
- You may still wish to make a small adjustment with your finger after insertion.
- It can take a few cycles to become completely comfortable using a menstrual disc. That's perfectly normal.
- Inspect the applicator before each use. If it becomes damaged or shows signs of excessive wear, replace it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a menstrual disc applicator?
No. A menstrual disc can be inserted using your fingers alone, and many people do. The my mimi Menstrual Disc Applicator is an optional accessory designed to make insertion easier by providing more control and confidence, particularly for first-time users.
Can beginners use a menstrual disc applicator?
Absolutely. The applicator has been designed with beginners in mind. If you're feeling nervous about inserting a menstrual disc for the first time, it can help simplify the process and reduce the learning curve.
Is the applicator compatible with all my mimi menstrual discs?
Yes. The my mimi Menstrual Disc Applicator is designed to work with both the Small and Large my mimi Menstrual Disc.
Can I still adjust my menstrual disc after using the applicator?
Yes. Once the disc has been released, you may wish to use a clean finger to ensure the front rim is tucked securely behind your pubic bone. This is completely normal and helps ensure the disc is positioned correctly.
How do I clean the menstrual disc applicator?
Wash the applicator with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free or pH-balanced soap after each use. Rinse thoroughly, allow it to air dry completely, then store it with the protective cap fitted. Avoid boiling, harsh chemicals or high heat, as these may damage the applicator.
Can I use lubricant with the applicator?
Yes. If desired, apply a small amount of water-based lubricant to the tip of the applicator or the folded menstrual disc before insertion.
What is the applicator made from?
The my mimi Menstrual Disc Applicator is made from durable medical-grade polypropylene (PP), a material commonly used in medical devices because of its strength, safety and ease of cleaning.
Can I carry the applicator in my handbag?
Yes. Measuring just 10 cm long with a protective cap, the applicator is compact and discreet enough to keep in your handbag, gym bag or travel case.
Is a menstrual disc applicator better than using your fingers?
Neither method is better—it comes down to personal preference. Many people are comfortable inserting a menstrual disc using their fingers, while others prefer the extra control and confidence an applicator provides. If you're new to menstrual discs or would simply like a more guided insertion experience, an applicator can be a helpful option.

Cleaning & care
Rinse your my mimi menstrual disc with cold water first, then wash with warm water and a gentle cleanser before and after use.
- Boil or sterilise your disc before first use and between cycles.
- Avoid harsh soaps, antibacterial hand wash, vinegar, bleach or fragranced products.
- Allow your disc to dry fully before storing it in its cotton pouch.
- Check your disc regularly and replace it if you notice tears, tackiness, damage or major changes in texture.
For extra convenience, use the my mimi GO steriliser or cleaning tablets as part of your regular care routine.

Menstrual disc accessories FAQs
Find the right menstrual disc cleaner, steriliser, lubricant, applicator and storage accessories for a simpler reusable period-care routine.
What menstrual disc accessories do I need?
The most useful menstrual disc accessories depend on your routine. A silicone-safe cleanser supports everyday washing, a menstrual disc steriliser or cleaning tablets provide a deeper clean between cycles, water-based lubricant can make insertion more comfortable, and a breathable carry bag keeps a clean, dry disc organised between uses.
Beginners may also prefer a menstrual disc applicator for more guided insertion. Browse all my mimi menstrual disc accessories.
What should I use to clean a menstrual disc?
For routine cleaning, rinse the disc with clean water and wash it with clean hands using a mild cleanser designed for body-safe silicone. Rinse thoroughly so no cleanser remains before reinserting or air-drying the disc.
The my mimi Gentle Foaming Cleanser is made specifically for reusable menstrual care. For a complete care routine, read our guide to cleaning a menstrual disc and removing odour.
What should I avoid using on a menstrual disc?
Avoid bleach, harsh disinfectants, abrasive brushes, heavily fragranced soaps and cleaning products that are not intended for body-safe silicone. These products may leave residue, irritate sensitive skin or affect the feel of the silicone over time.
Keep the routine gentle, rinse thoroughly and allow the disc to dry completely before storage. See our menstrual disc care guide for the recommended cleaning steps.
Do I need a menstrual disc steriliser?
A menstrual disc steriliser is not required for every wash, but it provides a convenient way to sanitise your disc between cycles. Many people use everyday cleanser during their period and complete a deeper sanitising step before storage or before the next cycle begins.
The compact my mimi GO menstrual disc steriliser is microwave-compatible and designed for home or travel use. Always follow the supplied product and disc care instructions.
How do menstrual disc cleaning tablets work?
Menstrual disc cleaning tablets dissolve in water to create a convenient deeper-cleaning solution for reusable silicone period products. They are designed to help sanitise the disc and reduce odour, residue and visible staining without scrubbing the silicone.
Use the tablets only as directed, rinse the disc thoroughly afterwards and keep the tablets out of reach of children. Shop my mimi menstrual disc cleaning tablets or review our guide to menstrual disc staining.
Can lubricant make menstrual disc insertion easier?
Yes. A small amount of water-based lubricant around the rim can reduce friction and make insertion feel smoother, particularly for beginners, people experiencing dryness or anyone who feels tense during insertion. Pinch the disc first, then apply only a small amount so it remains easy to hold.
Choose a lubricant that is compatible with silicone products. The my mimi water-based personal lubricant is designed to support comfortable menstrual disc insertion. New users can also follow our first-time menstrual disc guide.
What is a menstrual disc applicator?
A menstrual disc applicator is a reusable tool that holds a folded disc and helps guide it during insertion. It can provide greater control than finger insertion alone and may be helpful for first-time users, people who feel nervous about insertion or anyone who prefers a more guided technique.
The my mimi Menstrual Disc Applicator is compact, reusable and designed specifically for menstrual discs. You still need to check that the front rim is tucked securely behind the pubic bone after the disc is released.
How do I clean a menstrual disc applicator?
Wash the applicator after each use with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free or pH-balanced soap. Rinse it thoroughly, allow it to air-dry completely and store it with its protective cap fitted.
Avoid boiling, harsh chemicals and high heat unless the product instructions specifically state otherwise. Review the full use and care directions on the menstrual disc applicator product page.
How should I store a menstrual disc between cycles?
Clean and sanitise the disc according to its care instructions, then allow it to air-dry fully. Store it in a clean, breathable pouch rather than an airtight container while it is damp. Breathable storage helps prevent trapped moisture and keeps your reusable period products organised.
The reusable my mimi menstrual disc carry bag is made for discreet storage at home or in your handbag.
Which menstrual disc accessories are best for travel?
A practical travel kit may include your menstrual disc, a breathable carry bag, a small silicone-safe cleanser, water-based lubricant and either the compact GO steriliser or cleaning tablets. Choose the cleaning option that suits the facilities available at your destination.
Pack your accessories clean and dry, carry access to clean water where practical and practise your routine before travelling. Read our menstrual disc travel guide.
Can menstrual disc accessories be used with other brands?
Some care accessories, such as silicone-safe cleanser, water-based lubricant, cleaning tablets and breathable storage bags, may be suitable for reusable silicone period products from other brands. Always check the instructions and material-care guidance supplied with your specific product before use.
Fit-dependent products such as a menstrual disc applicator should be checked carefully for compatibility with the shape and dimensions of your disc.
Should I buy menstrual disc accessories separately or in a bundle?
Buy accessories separately when you already own a disc or want to add one specific item to your routine. A bundle can be more convenient for a first-time user because the disc and compatible cleaning, insertion or sterilising accessories are selected together.
Compare the available my mimi menstrual disc bundles or shop individual products in the menstrual disc accessories collection.
