Q: How well does it work if you have heavy flow? Will I have to replace it more often than the 12 hours indicated?

submitted by MrsTorres99 - 5 years ago
  • A: On my heavy days I change it every 8 hours. Still way better than every 3-4 with tampons & pads. If you do not insert it all the way in it will leak. A lot of negative reviewers say it leaked even though they are confident they put it in correctly. You cannot just stick it in and up behind the P bone. The best way I know how to describe it is, push it all the way in until it feels like your V swallowed it. People also complain that it is too hard to remove. It is if you do not push it out with your muscles. You have to bear down like you are pushing to go to the bathroom. This will empty some if the menses too so its less messy when you pull it out. Keep it level and pull out, almost upwards. Using nitrile or latex gloves and baby wipes helps with cleanup. (I am disappointed in Target for not allowing the V or P word to be used. Its a body part, not inappropriate language.)

    submitted byAshleytheGray - 4 years ago
  • A: If you bear down you can “empty” it without removing it, whenever you go to the bathroom on heavy days. You just have to make sure it’s in place again after.

    submitted byJane - 4 years ago
  • A: OMG. Do not reuse these. Cristy says to "empty it ... without changing it." No no no! From the instructions, "Never reuse Instead, since doing so may expose you to the risk of v*ginal infection." (this form won't let me use that word with the "a" in it). FWIW, I use them for 12 hours even on my heaviest days. If they are very full, though, and your muscles push it out of place (like with a sneeze) they could shift so that they leak ... so if you're super heavy, you might want to change it more often. I have only had one leak (because of a sneeze) once in the ~15 years I've been using them.

    submitted byAM in California - 4 years ago
  • A: On my heaviest day, mine leak every single time, so I used to wear a panty liner as backup. Now, I use organic cotton tampons on my one heavy day/night so I don't have to worry about leakage. When I'm not home, I don't want to think about changing these in a public restroom since you should wash your hands BEFORE removing & inserting a new one. Don't get me wrong; every other day of my period, I love these!

    submitted byDoc - 4 years ago
  • A: I'd say yes but it all depends on you. I usually change it every 8 hours on my heavier days and so far it seems to work. Or you can just empty it more frequently without changing it. Hope this helps because these are worth the try.

Q: These are not reusable, correct?

submitted by MadamMuah - 5 years ago
  • A: Softdisc is not reusable. After 12 hours of wear, remove the disc, dispose of it, and only insert a new one.

  • A: NO. These are NOT reusable. No. No. No. Emma3457 is giving BAD info. From the packaging, "Never reuse Instead, since doing so may expose you to the risk of v*ginal infection." (the form won't let me use that word with the "a" in place and says my answer contains inappropriate language, haha.)

    submitted byAM in California - 4 years ago
  • A: Correct. But people reuse them on the same day.

    submitted byEmma3457 - 5 years ago

Q: can you wear this when riding a horse without it leaking or spilling? I have to do at least 2-3 horses a day and my pad always ends up tearing.

submitted by se - 3 years ago
  • A: Yes! We actually have many users who ride horses and use Softdisc with success! You just need to make sure the disc is in place fully covering the cervix.

Q: It says you can use them during s*x, will the guy feel it inside you?

submitted by Interested - 4 years ago
  • A: Softdisc is safe to wear during intercourse and comfortable for both you and your partner because, the disc sits in the vaginal fornix and collects menstrual fluid directly from the base of the cervix. As a result of that, the vaginal canal is free of obstruction. The vagina expands and elongates during arousal as well as intercourse, so if the disc is inserted properly, neither partner should be able to feel the disc.

    Brand expert

Q: Is it easy to remove as well as inserting it.

submitted by Dee - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Dee! Both insertion and removal of the disc is much easier than it may seem. To insert Softdisc, you'd pinch the disc and push it down and back into the vaginal fornix. For removal, with a clean finger you'd just bear down a bit, reach in and pull the disc out. We have tons of information available on our website and your discs always come with a set of instructions. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our awesome Customer Support team at hello@flexfits.com. :)

I am honestly so impressed with these! I used one for the first time today. I was a little paranoid at first, but with a little maneuvering I was able to get it in place. No leaks and I was able to do the dirty with no problem! It did surprise me when it emptied itself while I was on the toilet lol!

These are amazing. Maybe TMI, but you can reuse them during your cycle, just like the silicone discs. One per cycle, and one box will last you at least a year. Less cramping, no leaking, no string travel. Why did it take so many years for these to come along??

I have VERY heavy periods and these have been a game changer! I usually go through so many tampons and always ultra long pads because I have to double up with them. Since switching to these discs it’s been so freeing! I do wear a basic pad just in case but I’ve had extremely minimal leaking during the heaviest parts. I just feel cleaner, way less stressed, no longer hyper aware with leaking, WAY less bathroom trips, and it’s comfortable!

Love that you can empty them without removing them, and quickly go on about your day. I felt compelled to leave a review because I've only ever had slight leaking on my heaviest days. I learned to empty it more often on these days. It doesn't feel like a lot of these reviews are really much more than user error. These and Flex are both great. I decided to try these because they are cheaper, but based on the reviews I almost didn't. Glad I tried them.

Hi Happy - we are here to help! It sounds like the disc may not be getting below your cervix, make sure that you are inserting the disc down and back towards your tailbone and scooping below and around your cervix. Email us at hello@softdisc.com for customized help!

Theresa - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I was really wanting this to work out. I have tried the flex cups before but not this brand. I did like that when it was in, I couldn’t feel it; compared to the other one I used that felt very obviously placed. Where this fell short for me was immediately, I was leaking and my flow wasn’t even that heavy, more medium. Then, when I went to get it out, I couldn’t grab the edge. I literally had to have my bf get it out and he even had trouble. I would t recommend this brand but I think other flex cups work well.

I was given these because my friend was too intimated to use them. Holy cow these are amazing! I wish I had them sooner. They don't cause pain or irritation that tampons cause. There is now awkward bulky pads on my underwear. Yes it was a little intimidating at first. But after the first round of feeling silly, things get easier.

1 reply from Softdisc team - 3 months ago
Hi Kaylee! We are here to help - feel free to reach out to us at hello@softdisc.com for some tips and tricks! One tip is to use the technique called self-emptying which will help make room in the disc for more liquid - to do this you bear down over the toilet and allow some liquid to come out into the toilet, then tuck it back in place behind the pubic bone with a clean finger!

I love the disc because it is easy to use and I cant feel, but it does not work if you have a heavy to Med flow. I have to change every 2-3 hrs. Went through a whole box in 2 days.
1 reply from Softdisc team - 3 months ago
Hi Rose, thanks for the review and feedback! We have a lot of customers who love us for their heavy flow, they self empty the disc when they are going to the restroom to make more room and elongate wear. You do this by bearing down when you are on the toilet and liquid will come from the disc into the toilet, then just tuck the disc back in place with a clean finger, no need to replace! If you need more tips, we are here to help at hello@softdisc.com!

Discs over Tampons

Jess V - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
I freaking love these. This brand in particular had bad reviews when I was looking online so I never bought them but the Flex discs were sold out in store so I bought these, they work just as good & they’re cheaper!! I’m not sure why people are having a hard time with these bc they work the exact same. I will never go back to using tampons during the day, I keep these in stock. I do recommend using a liner just incase it does leak. It is def emptying when you go to the bathroom so maybe that’s why people were having problems.

Katie - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
This was my first foray into menstrual discs, with mixed results. Discs are all a bit messier than cups to remove, which I didn't know, so be ready the first time you take one out! However, it's much more comfortable to wear! Once it's in, I couldn't feel it at all. Love that it can last 12 hours. However, the first 2 days of my period, I leaked out of these a couple times. The next 3 days, when my flow slowed down, I had no leaking problems. I wanted a reusable disc, and after using these for 2 cycles, bought a Nixit and love it. It doesn't leak at all, and is still very comfortable. I think the softer rim helps it fit better and avoid leaks.

These are life-changing!!! For the first time in my life I wasn’t stressed about my period. Takes a little bit of getting used to as far as dealing with removing it, but that was a tiny hassle. The ability to be very intimate with my partner while on my period was profound. I will never go back to tampons!

No two ladies are alike so you have to try it for yourself. Please read the directions. I’ve used every feminine product available, this is not a cup. For those who say they leak, consider that it is self emptying when you bear down while using the restroom. This is a major pro for those of us who have a heavy cycle. I get a full 12 hour wear every time.
