Diva Disc Review and First Look
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 06. 2024
- After nearly two decades without a truly new product the world's best selling cup, DivaCup, has just launched the Diva Disc. I'm thoroughly impressed with the design innovations this new disc is bringing to a fast growing category. I instantly knew it was going to be a popular new disc based on the Leakproof Shield design and pull tab. The firmness is softer than most discs and it's an overall smaller design - ticking some empty boxes in this category.

i love how you can see general disc-user feedback with every new disc that comes out. "it's hard to take out" -> new disc comes out with a pull tab. "i don't like auto-dumping" -> new disc comes out with a leakproof shield.
and “the cup rotates while inserted” -> new disk comes out thats oblong so it doesn’t rotate!!!
I think you should take more credit for the surge in popularity of discs! Everyone I know who uses reusables got into them because of you and PACII, and your reviews of discs specifically and showing that cups weren't the only solid reusable option made discs seem less scary. I got the Saalt disc because of your review (and also because I loved my Saalt cup but wanted something a little bit different)! You're like the internet's Fairy Godmother when it comes to period products 😂
Congrats on the collab with Diva! So happy with how your business ventures keep growing and am immensely grateful for your impact in the community! I truly believe reusable menstrual products are becoming more popular and people find them less intimidating because of your videos. I have an extremely irregular and heavy period, and the cups and disks have given me so much more comfort and peace of mind. I remember when I would have to go to a restroom every 2hrs to change my tampons or pads. It was extremely inconvenient. The disc's high capacity and autodumping feature means I dont have to worry about changing it out until the end of the day. Thank you for helping me make the switch to reusables ❤
I enjoyed the auto dump feature but I also do yoga and squat a lot throughout the day. I've had a few accidents lately and has been frustrated with it so I think I'm going to consider getting this one!
I'm a cis-man that started watching your vids (on PutACupInIT) as research for my gf, and you have also turned me into a cup/disc advocate! :)
Im SOLD on that anti-dumping feature!!! Im purchasing NOW!
This was a smart release on Diva's part. Since it's designed for lower cervixes in mind, it doesn't compete with its cup, which definitely caters to the high cervix crowd. I doubt their disc would work for me, since I would not be able to reach it.
My cervix is super high or I just have baby fingers lol. I can BARELY reach mine on the first day of my period and this disc works for me! I needed a soft disc with some type of reliable pull tab. This is it! For peace of mind, I attached a string to the pull tan just to keep me at ease but I didn’t need to use it. This is my second period using it and I don’t think I will ever go back to cups unless I know I will be in a public restroom!
That I’d my concern too. I have a high cervix so I’m afraid if I succeed in getting it in I won’t be able to retrieve it. My vagina is about 7 inches deep and my fingers are definitely not 7 inches.
I was considering switching to a disc from Tampons for like 3 years now.. but of course when you're use to using one thing and nervous about the unknown, sometimes it takes time to take that leap of faith. Well, last week thanks to you, I made the switch to a disc! Omg idk why I waited so long! I am a huge fan of auto-dumping and I actually placed the disc perfectly the 1st time with no user error thanks to your videos. I will never ever ever go back to Tampons! Thank you so much for your informative videos! They have been a blessing!
You’re 10000% the reason why I purchased a disc from your website ! The reusable flex disc changed my life after I had a baby. So thankful for you!
Why do you like it after having a baby? I’m a new mom and recently tried a disposable flex disc for the first time. Looking to get a reusable one now. I’m a pad person usually, but I need something for taking my baby to swim class
@@beckyshaknovich7554 I had already used diva cups prior to baby but when I had him they felt extremely uncomfortable and almost painful. I switched to the Flex reusable Disc and it’s felt more comfortable than a cup ever had ! I think it’s because it’s pushed all the way back instead of where a cup normally would sit if that makes sense . I didn’t really ever try the disposable ones but if you find them comfy you’ll enjoy the reusable forsure !
I'm so excited for this, ordered right away
Thank you so much for this! I'm a transgender man, and menstrual cups have really helped with my dysphoria, and I'd really love to continue trying out different menstrual products to further help with my dysphoria. Your channel has really helped me with that!
Dude that's so awesome for you! And thanks for sharing! I don't think many people even consider how menstrual cycles impact trans men. Idk if it would help, but for me at least a combo of a menstrual disc and Thinx period underwear often make me forget I'm on my period. Thinx makes a boyshort style that looks like boxers and it's black so no visible stains.
@@curiouschicana9098 Yes! I love Thinx as well, haha! So nice, no leaks. Also environmentally friendly, and better for your body.
I was going to comment the same thing! 😂 I also love that they are black lined so you don’t see the blood. It makes bleeding so much less traumatizing if you have had negative experiences ❤️❤️
@@mishiesweetie12 or less traumatizing if you have really bad dysphoria the same way I do, it just depends.
I didn't like auto-dumping when I tried using discs, so I'm interested to try this one.
Me neither. Autodumping sucks. I remember one time I laughed a little too hard and felt a gush. It was at that moment I knew I fucked up bc as soon as I went to the bathroom to check my underwear, sure enough blood leaked onto them.
I just bought my first disc and this really helped me, thank you!
Today is my first time using a reusable period product. I got the flex reusable disc and I watched about 5 of your videos about discs and am I glad I did! My 1st experience went flawlessly and I have to thank you for that!
Yayyy!!!! I just finished my first cycle using a Diva Cup. I’d been interested in reusable period products but hadn’t done much research so just grabbed one off the shelf at CVS which turned out to be a Diva Cup in size 2 (I’m 35). It went absolutely flawlessly, no pain coming in or out, no leaks even at night, no pain, unfolded and sealed properly. I will NEVER use a tampon again! But I really want to try a disc! Have you used a cup ever or just discs? Was it messy removing it? I’m glad it worked so well for you ❤😊
I'm glad that there are more products coming that are softer discs or softer versions of existing discs. The more firm discs are actually pretty painful for me (as well as another friend who uses reusable menstrual products) and give me bad cramps and fatigue on my back/pelvic area which in turn makes my legs feel tired and sore. I am curious about the cora soft disc since it seems to be the softest one right now. I love the hello disc but even with a level 3 firmness both my friend and I feel uncomfortable after a short while. I would love for the hello disc to come out with a softer version because the pull tab is really effective! It holds so much more compared to cups I hope I see more softer discs (with good removal haha) soon :)
I know what you mean! I bought a firmer disc and omg was my delicate flower sore AF. Bought the diva disc and it is so soft!
Awesome review!
Wow this design is so different!
I have a love/hate relationship with auto-dumping so think I’ll try this. Also thank you for explaining the squiggly thing. I was like, what is that wormy thing in their promo. But a place to set discs would be nice.
I've had mine for a few months now. I would give it a 8/10 . It's a good disc and I do recommend it, especially for IUD users.
Can I ask why an 8/10 for you?
Is it ideal for light flow days? I was looking for an alternative to hello disc, hello disc is great for heavy flow days but it’s too firm and uncomfortable for light flow days
This is amazing for my young daughter..
Definitely will try and find you.
From Guernsey in the Channel Islands UK
I just pre-ordered one of these. I have the hello disc which I love but because of the light colour, it is badly stained already… I’m excited for the diva disc for the darker colour.
Just saw this on IG. Being in Canada it is so limiting to find discs. Hope their “coming soon” is not too long 🇨🇦
I’m also in Canada and was able to order a Diva Disc yesterday!
They have this disc in Canada now at Shopper's and Walmart!
So diva disc and my new cup I'll be trying this period
Love my diva disc!
I have been using my cora disc since I purchased it and I unfortunately haven't been able to get my hands on a hello disc yet I really want to support your shop so when the Diva disc launches I WILL be buying it. I just love that this is a darker color so I don't have to worry about staining which I love about my cora disc, but I wish I had a tab to pull it out so this looks like the best of both worlds for me.
Also I have dropped my cora disc in the toilet 🥲
Any update on how the diva disc worked for you? I'm very curious cuz the Cora disc size seems ideal for me and I'm wondering if the diva disc also works well
Pls make a comparison vid of the best disc this yr. Between the other discs u mentioned, thanks! I think I’m not able to buy your disc so I’m happy there are Canadian options!
I’m tempted to try this as I’m not a fan of auto dumping. I’m currently trying the Hello disc and fear it’s a tad too large for me 😭
I gave the nixxit brand a honest try. I tried it for 2-3 cycles. And no matter what I did, it leaked. I just got this one, assuming it wouldn't work for me, but so far, no issues, no leaks, although I do feel like it is autodumping still?! I'm much happier with this product so far. I was sad that the disc design may not have been an option for me.
I've done a dry run with this disc and I found it absolutely suctioned up in there I must also have a very pronounced pubic bone There is no chance this thing is coming dislodged It's very comfortable though and I was very very happy that they added a pull tab because it absolutely helped with removal.
I’ve been having some leaking issues with my hello disc. I just bought this from your shop and I’m excited to see if this will work any better!😁
Any updates?
Auto-dump is a great feature, so I am surprised Diva wouldn't make 2 versions: one with the barrier and one without. I wonder if one could cut away at the barrier if they didn't want that? Or, maybe they'll release a version without ASAP?
yeah, I don't like autodumping, and at least my Cora doesn't autodump which is great for me, but still, I don't like the idea of a shield. Whenever I buy stuff, particularly menstrual products, I am very mindful of how easy it will be to clean and well.. the shield seems like it would just bother me.
Same I have a heavy flow so I love that I can usually auto dump… it’s the only way I get to wear my disc all day without having to empty it multiple times. I’ll stick to my nixit!
@@ellaq4610 the hello disc is what I use and it has a pull loop and autodumps! It works for me!
Not being able to autodump is definitely a deal breaker for me trying this out. I also wish that they'd do a second size for the high cervix contingent.
I have discs and cups. I like the cup alot because its just easy. I have a super high cervix so its really difficult to get it up there. I'm practicing on that. Its easy to get it behind the public bone but the other side towards the tail bone......is more difficult. Disposable discs are so easy and you really don't have to do much.
I won't give up!
Maybe it's the type of reusable disc? Flex has one with a notch so it stays flater longer (it won't pop open as fast)
I am so excited for this. I tried the flex disposable discs years ago and it made me run from period products like this. I wore the discs for 2 days and it gave me such severe bladder pain and menstrual cramps and it took THREE WEEKS for the pain to subside. It was crazy!! I definitely had it inserted correctly, my fornix is just not that big!! I recently discovered menstrual cups do not seal properly because of my tilted uterus, so Diva disc is my last hope! Wish me luck ;)
The Flex disposable is CRAZY firm. A world of difference from the Diva Disc.
How did it go?
could i ask why having a tilted uterus affects the menstrual cup seal? i might be having the same issue :’(
Just discovered this one. I haven't used it yet but am hoping its a hiking potty squat game changer. Cups stopped working during peri. Looking forward to using this.
I think the popularity of disks comes with the popularity of IUDs growing. I love love love my Diva Cup (that I've had for over a decade), but when I got an IUD, I learned I really shouldn't use it anymore. I went with period panties for a while, but really miss my cup! I started use disposable Flex Disks, but I want something reusable, and more sustainable. I've also had some leaking with the Flex Disk, nothing too terrible, but definitely stain worthy for my undies. I feel like Diva coming out with a disk eliminates my ability to not be able to choose which disk to go with! I feel so much more confident about it. It was a bit anxiety inducing comparing all of the other disks out there.
Flex has a reusable one too, it was pretty cool to see them jump on that train along with making biodegradable disposable disks.
Which disc have you been using? I just got an IUD and after a week I started to use my DivaCup and my IUD fell out! So now I’ve gotta look for a disc! Are there any you would suggest?
I just purchased this from your site. I've been using the Ultu cup for years now. I've tried lots of cups and that one is my ride or die. I'm curious about disks so I decided on the Diva disk, mostly because the Hello disk was sold out haha, but also because of its shape and the spill guard. I really hope it works out. It sucks when you spend a bunch of money on a period product that just doesn't work for you.
As a woman who knows IT ALL🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 about self care, personal hygiene(how to smell scrumptious💖 down there), women's biology/anatomy, health, and has taught other women how to get pregnant who struggle to conceive...I have learned something NEW!! The disc. I use the Venus cup Lrg. and was 😊so happy to discover it. Have used it for months now and am in love with it. Will be trying this disc because the handle feature it has. Never used a disc, am looking forward to trying my first in this.
Thank you so much for your insight! I just saw a short CZcams video about the brand called Sunny which has a Menstrual cup that comes with an applicator. I was wondering if you could do a review on the product. Thank you so much for your time 😍❤️
I wish it had a higher capacity. I’m gonna have to go with the nixit which is what I got on the quiz. I’m just worried about removal and had hoped for a disc with a notch.
Just bought the Spot combo from Diva's website (she was sold out) Thanks for this review!
The nixit works amazing for me, the harder Cora disc actually gave me wicked cramps (I never cramp) and had to switch to a softer one, and thanks to you, I choose Nixit.
But, I have a very high cervix, and to remove the nixit involves a complicated process of bearing down and wedging my finger between the disc and my pelvic bone to pop it out of place, proceeding to squirt blood in the toilet... I've made unfortunate explosive messes this way. Removal while standing (in the shower) is nearly impossible sometimes because of how deep it is and the inability to grasp the disc edge.
I am super happy to find a SOFTER disc with a tab; this was the only thing keeping me from trying the Hello disc. I am hoping this makes my life easier!
Thanks again for your amazing help, Kim!
Did you try it? If so, how did it go?
@Harlow Khmer I love it. For me personally, I had an issue with leaking until I cut out the splash guard but I think that's unique to me- I think my cervix sits right on the guard on days 1-2. I haven't had a problem since I snipped it out and the pull tab makes my life so much easier!
@@ErynLizabeth_TheVegan thanks for the info! I'm still trying to figure out which one I should try. I've never tried any disc or cup. 😫
@Harlow Khmer discs honestly SEEM scarier but are 10X easier to put in. The hello disc seems like an amazing one as well as the Diva- the pull tab IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. The caviat is they are messier than cups. If a hand covered in blood bothers you, try a cup. Cups can be slightly finicky, but once you get the seal right, you're good to go. Either way, once you nail down the technique of a cup or disc (I've honestly gone through tons of them though) I'll never go back to anything else. 12 hours and no worries. It's life changing.
@@ErynLizabeth_TheVegan I worry about having to buy a bunch of different ones and that it'll take spending a bunch of money until I find the right one. I'm weird about touching my cervix to see how far it 😂😭😂😭
Was that a shoutout to the collab on the saalt soft cup? Loved that cup. It was my starter. 😊
haha maaaaaaybe
Got mine definitely smaller then I expected I like larger cups sadly so hopefully it will work it is the same ship as my smaller cups and I can't wear them on day one or two so I'll be finding out lol
Really interested in this because it's softer, I tend to get some pressure in front no matter how small the disc is, but the Nixit is slightly too big and won't tuck. Not enough soft discs out there!
I was definitely excited to see a smaller overall disc that is also softer. The only other small + soft menstrual disc is the newer Ziggy Cup size A.
I have the diva disc, and the worst thing about it is that its difficult to take out: I have to bear down and poop/feel like pooping, to ease it out of me, then grab it by the loop. Overall though, I don't feel it, and its the most mess free, spotting free, comfortable period. The oval shape is great for my body. I could do with a bigger firmer disc, but if its gonna be round, it's gonna hurt inside, I found.
I wish it had a version with a longer pull tab though.
Same it was hard to take out, it would be perfect if it could hold a little more and have a longer pull tab
I have the same problem. And it seems like for me the tab should face the other way- it's an awkward angle for my finger
I have the smaller size ziggy which is soft, small and oblong as well so I assume it's similar to the Diva disc and my body just crushes it into submission. It's just top soft and completely folds in on itself. I got my hands on a hello cup and I'm never going back. It is perfect.
I've been a happy diva cup wearer for years now but I recently found that my cervix is low on the first day of my period and it's almost painful to wear a cup. I've also wanted to try disc so I bought a nixit. I thought I would be a fan of auto-dumping...I am not! So much so that I just suffer through wearing a cup. So I am quite interested in trying this disc.
@TenderTrina - also worth a try to flip your Diva Cup inside out while your cervix is lower. It will shorten the cup a bit
Good for Diva for coming out with this! It’s about time! Im not on the market because I love the hello disc🙌🏾.
Also, the 2 back and forth camera angles were a bit distracting .
*impatiently waiting for this to come to canada*
It’s available now! I ordered it a couple days ago!
Can you review the SHORDY disk? It’s one of the only reusable disks available in Canada and I want to see if it’s firm enough, I can’t really afford to waste 20$ right now and the only reusable disk I ever tried was to soft and it got stuck inside and if I hadn’t of been so flexible I wouldn’t have gotten it out, had to literally crouch further than is possible for most people 🙈
Would you recommend the disc for someone who has never ever used anything except pads they’re getting too expensive and I can’t keep buying them ? What if you have bladder issues or an infection or something similar is the reusable stuff still safe to use?
Would you suggest this for a new disk user?
Can these discs be used with an IUD?
20:06, i found that it sometimes flips sideways when I try to remove it, which can be messy
Can you try the June disc?
What about potentially cutting down the flap a bit so we can still have auto dumping? I currently use Hello disc but it's just too firm for me and difficult to insert each time. I like that the Diva disc is less firm than the Hello and that the Diva disc has a pull tab. However, I am a person that enjoys the auto dumping. Now we just need a disc brand to make a less firm disc with pull tab and allow for autodumping. I'm still not sure if I will purchase the Diva disc because I do want autodumping.
I would ask Diva's customer service if they have an informed opinion on the safety of trimming that shield off. It would also very likely void any warranty if there is one. I also like auto dumping so I get the conundrum you're in, especially if you have a heavy period since this disc holds a bit less than many and likely won't auto dump for you with the shield.
Try the soft cora disc!
So when is the hello disk going to come out with a flap?
Please please make a detail video with saalt Regular & small and saalt soft regular & small....please please....pros, cons all little details🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
the note about the diva spots being on the canadian website seems to be not true, i can’t find them anywhere. can someone link?
this was delayed and I wasn't informed before filming and uploading this but Diva will have them in a few months.
Thanks kim! looking forward to supporting this when i can. it’s a shame i couldn’t join in on the hype today but excited for when i can finally get my hands on this :)
I had this but i think my pelvic floor muscles are strong and so any slight movement down there the cup slides out and its really sad cuz i wanted to work.. can anyone help?
is this available internationally?
Do you sell to Spain? I saw the prices in euros, but on shipping I saw you only ship to USA… I’m confused
I'm a litttttle bit skeptical of pull tabs, but maybe it's because I used to pull on the Keeper and the skinny stem eventually started to deteriorate (but after many years). I imagine I'd pull so hard on a pull tab one day that it'd just snap.. but I am probably wrong.
With my Hello disc I always just tug enough until I can grab the rim. I realize that takes away the "mess free" aspect. But I'm not worried about that. I also wonder how long the pull tabs will last. Nixit is still my favorite disc.
I need this and the hello disc in the target near me neowwww. Or Amazon or Walmart 😭😭
Would I be able to submerge myself in a body of water (bath, pool, lake etc.) with my menstrual disc in?
Yes!!!
Is this available in the uk?
can i practice insertion/removal when i’m not on my period. I know the cervix itself can move during cycles but as far as practicing inserting and reaching in for it without the mess first ?
You absolutely can! I did that and I still am, though my actual period starts tomorrow so we'll see how it handles a flow
You might want some lube though. I tried to put my hello disc in without my period and it would not go in at all. When I'm on my period it goes in just fine
Yep I did!
I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the hello disc in during my period. I've tried through 4 cycles now. I keep having to switch back to my Lena Sensitive small cup because I can get it in one-handed. Does anyone have any tips on how to get the hello disc in easier one-handed or is a different disc better for one-handed insertion? Or do the discs simply require two-handed insertion, so I should just stick with the cup?
To get mine in one handed I have to pinch it with my thumb and pointer finger near the back end AND with my middle and ring finger closer to the loop, so basically having it pinched in two places. It also really helps me to wear it flipped because then the loop is out of the way. I hope this answer helps, good luck! 👍
I also just found this in case you’ve never seen it, you can skip right to the part where she does a one handed insertion demo
czcams.com/video/dZnBaYAqOqo/video.html
@@burntcurlyfries3185 thanks for your tips, I will definitely try again next cycle and hope it goes better. I really like the concept of the disc since it's much easier to remove than a cup -- i just need to be able to get it in there correctly 😄
Honestly the Hello disc is more difficult to insert than other discs. It's something about the rim shape I think that makes it harder to stay folded and more curved at the edges than folded flat like other discs. I can still get it in but it's definitely a two hander for me and there's more effort required. You might want to try a different disc, I've been able to insert every other disc I've tried one handed.
I think the difficulty is the firmness of the rim. I do best using 2 hands with my Hello disc, but find I can do one handed insertion with the Cora disc, which has a thicker rim. Though that one can get messier or tricker for removal, especially if it rotates.
Lol got an add for diva cup before the video started
for once this is a decently targeted ad!
How do I know if my Cervix is high or low or average?

In my experience auto dumping doesn't happen through the front of the disc, but back. The end which is further from the entrance to the vagina.
Auto dumping is my most feature of the disk.
I wish its able to ship to the Philippines, I really need it now because I stain ng pants so much
Can Disks auto-dump when you do heavy-weight deep squwats?
The coughing thing happens to me with Flex discs. Not fun to feel that.
When will it be available in Canada? ☺️
Very soon!
I want to use discs so bad but I have such a fear of it auto-dumping on me randomly 😭
You might find you like it; I would suggest wearing a pad while trying it out for peace of mind :)
@@ChrissyChrissyChrissy333 hello again! I ordered a diva disc that is going to come in late December, so if you'd like, I'll let you know how it goes for me 😊
@@pitohui1800 Awesome yeah, I'd be interested to know how you like it :)
@junkola4me Hey, sorry for not getting back to you. But I tried out the disc, and TL:DR, it worked perfectly. No leaks, inserted without any issues, firmness was perfect, did not auto dump, everything about the disc worked worked. Though the only thing that I dislike about the disc is A. The leakproof shield doesn't work when pulling it out, and B. The capacity isn't much of a difference from the cup I wad previously using (only a 6ml difference). So I'm trying out the saalt disc to see if it's a lot better.
@@pitohui1800 I'm happy to hear that it was an overall good experience. I love discs and will never go back to anything else. The saalt looks like another good brand, I'd be interested to know what you think after you try it. I have the original Cora; it's good but probably wouldn't be my favorite if I had the option to try other brands... but with that said, I would still recommend it as I do like it overall
Is the Diva Disc good for people that have a high cervix
yes
So how does this work if it does not auto-dump? Does one need to remove it to empty it on heavy days?
I personally love that feature and discs and auto-dumping changed my life for the better. The Lumma and Flex reusable work great for me. I'm just curious how this disc works when NOT auto-dumping. 🤔
Hi! Seems like you have experience on disc and auto dump, would you be so kind and answer this question I have, have you ever had an experience where it auto dumps at random times? Ex: I bend over/squat to pick up my two yr old...could it happen?
I don’t usually experience auto dumping. Even on heavy days I can go 12 hours without issues.
@@Kelly1237 My first two days are really heavy and I HAVE to auto-dump every 1-3 hours (and I use a high capacity disc!)!!! (At night I only have to get up once. And as soon it's not as heavy anymore I get through the night without auto-dumping.)
You are very lucky!!!
@@katharina1788 which disc are you using? I have heavy periods too and tired of using cups only.
@@selenad.365 The Lumma disc high was the first I tried over two years ago and it works great for me. Just had to cut off the stem as it poked me.
I then bought the Flex reusable as I heard that the thinner basket might allow a longer time until one needed to auto-dump. And for me it does. The Lumma is easier to insert. The Flex tries to open or even tries to rotate when inserting. Never had this issue with the Lumma. But once it's in it's great. I like both, but as the Flex reusable allows me a longer wear time before I need to auto-dump I prefer the Flex.
If the Flex disposable is available near you, try it to see if it works for you before getting the reusable one. Use pads at first as backup until you know how it works. For me the disc is the best menstrual product. Wish I had this much earlier in life. I can highly recommend it.
Can people with a high cervix still use this ?
it will just be harder to take out i’m assuming
The disc with a hymen
This article explains how cups work in this case: www.periodnirvana.com/can-virgins-use-menstrual-cups/ the advice for discs is the same HTH
Haha yep, that was my first thought too. The disc has a hymen! 😆
@PeriodNirvana , I think Emily was stating that the anti-dump barrier reminds her of a hymen, rather than asking if it can be used when the vaginal hymen is still intact.
Can anyone tell me what the price is for the disk and shipping to Canada is CAD$ the site won’t let me view without verifying via text and I can’t afford minutes on my phone 😕 if not I’ll just ask someone to use their phone
$35 CAD + Shipping is free 🙂
Like the other person said, 35 bucks, no tax, no shipping fee 😊
omg i would buy this if i knew. but that lumma disc buy 1 free 1 sale got me instead 😂
I have this in right now I had to pop it behind my cervix flet it pop into it lol like with cups sometimes lol got 3 disc ready just incase lol my nixit two other oval disc out just incase this don't hold up lol wear period underwear
Yeahh i thought i had a leak and realized it had slipped out completely,….. not sure it’s great since my cervix is so far it might as well be in china
I find shape size and firmness of the rim all matter lol
Can you still measure you cervix even when you are pregnant, or is it still best to measure your cervix when you are on your period?
I'm no Kim or doctor, but your cervix will be very different while pregnant! For example, while menstruating, the cervix generally moves from lower/firmer during your period, then higher/softer around ovulation. Since you're not ovulating, bleeding, ovulating, etc while pregnant, PLUS you're holding physical weight in there, the cervix will be in a different state (from what I understand, if conception occurs, the cervix will remain in that higher softer position)
@@kaylivelazquez7354 thank you for the reply :)
Sterilized all my fav disc or cups have 3 things to try I have two other disc but one having issues and one is like my other two round.disc like.nixit and femmy so I no they work and go in ..
Have you ever known a cervix to not fit or not "take" a disc?
I have tried the flex and not even my husband could get it to sit behind my pubic bone. Then I tried Nix-it and it just folded. Trying the Diva Disc today for the first time and I don't think I can get it to sit behind my pubic bone. I am so desperate to find something that works for my body. I love the cups but apparently I don't have a strong plevic floor.
It is like the Flex was too big, the Nix-it too flimsy, and the Diva too small.
I feel like I'm having the same issues. Like I might be able to use a disc and only use a cup
I love disc but they always delay my period , both the reusable and disposable . Does anyone else experience that ? 😫
Wait - I'm confused... I thought auto-dumping was a good thing. 🤔
only when u want it to not when it’s randomly through out the day.
They stole your loop idea! I'm interested in the little anti spill lip!
R&D takes a whole lot of time. At 10:42, Kim explicitly mentions that’s not the case.
Can you swim?😊
I wish they made one without dyes 😕
