17:33 Summary of review
Oh my god I've said this multiple times earlier but you're so underrated! The amount of efforts you put into your work is commendable! You've helped me and my friends so SO much. I can never thank you enough for the educational content you've posted in these years. You truly deserve more fame.
I'm really comfortable with my menstrual blood because of discs, but it will always be icky when you feel that warm/hot, sticky sensation of blood and clots all over your hand. Will never get used to that.
Her “messy” removal is about as clean as it ever gets for me 😂 still love it though
@@notmychellesame here, the one at 17 min is me every time I take out a soft disc(the disposable ones) somethings not working right🤦♀️
I use to get queasy with cups. I like discs better even if messier
Hi KIm!. First of all I want to thank you for your work, you are the one who gave me the push I needed to switch from disposable menstrual products to reusable ones a while ago and I have to say that my life has been easier since then, way cheaper too!. Secondly, I was one of the ones who requested this review in particular, so thank you again for it, I´m still on the fence between this disc and the hello disc though, living in Europe doesn´t leave you many options in menstrual discs choices without having to pay a huge amount of taxes but I know I will end up caving in in the end for one or the other.
I know you hadn´t had the best time lately but I hope that you and your son are on the way to recovery. Thank you again though, for pushing through despite it all and always giving your 110%.
Hey just wanted to drop by and say a quick thank you! I didn't know what menstrual discs were until I came across a video from your channel. I tried a cup a few years ago but couldn't get them to work for me because of my low cervix. But the disc worked perfectly in my first cycle. I'm from India and the options for discs here are limited but i think I found my perfect disc- it's a sort of hybrid of the Cora and the Hello disc. And I'm in love! So thanks once again Kim ❤❤
What brand are you using? I am from India too.
@@ShinjiniDas1234 I am using the Myki Basic Gen Z disc in size small :)
I use Hello Disc and love it, but sometimes i can feel the loop, I plan to have 2nd disc, i think i will go with this brand
I love Hello Disc but sometimes I can feel some pressure of the rim inside me and I felt a bit uncomfortable. Then I tried Hey Zomi, as it has smaller and softer rim, it seems more comfortable for me. But anyway I love both brands.❤
Thanks for sharing! I am trying the Hello disc for the first time and am thinking the Hey Zomi might be better for me due to the uncomfortable firmness of the Hello disc.
Thanks for sharing. I ended up going with Hello over hey zomi, because this video mentioned the auto dumping alot which may be annoying.
I am doing a dry run and also find the hello makes abit of pressure on my bladder. I think it may be a little too firm for me. I'm totally new to these products.
Thank you for hello disc
I have no issues with blood but that was so much. I have the Flex disc and it’s really firm. I think I’m going to try the hello disc. I’m hoping they go on a small sale soon lol
Are you on the Period Nirvana email list? We had a 15% off sale last weekend on hello disc :(
I'd love to watch a Lani disc review, since I'm from Mexico, and it'd be great to buy a local brand !! Thanks for all your content!!
I’ve been hyped to watch this review. I use flex reusable as my holy grail and the only other disc I’ve used is the ziggy but it was too big and always came loose. I have been wanting to try another disc but I don’t think it will be this one.
Just found your channel. It has been really helpful. Thank you. I have a question lol I have been a long time reusable pad user. But have been convinced to try menstrual cups. This is been my first cycle on cups. It didn’t go too bad a little messy but not bad. I’m blind and didn’t think I could do it. Surprise myself. Do you have any tips and tricks that I could use to not be so messy with it.
I’m so glad you brought up rotating. I’m thinking of cutting off the second loop on my hello disc just to ease insertion. But sometimes I do struggle with removal since it rotates. Maybe I need to try the tuck method again. Was thinking this would be nice to try, but I would be VERY annoyed with the auto dumping. Anybody have any tips!?! Thanks Kim for all you do!
Auto dumping depends on the person's body. It doesn't happy for every user using the Hey Zomi disc. It's quite subjective. Generally, a higher cervix and average to strong pelvic floor is very unlikely for auto dumping to occur. So it just depends 🤗
Hello! can you also include rim size/height with your charts? i found that this is also a feature that i need to be wary of.
I wouldn’t like the white because it would stain.
It’s actually very easy to remove stains from silicone discs/cups with hydrogen peroxide, oxi-clean, or even washing soda. Just need to let them soak for a few hours at the end of your cycle, and then wash with a gentle soap (and rinse really well).
We have a Black Hey Zomi disc option if you'd prefer :) yay! @abbystephens9766
I recently got an advert for Dame cup - they claim to be self sanitising and you don’t need to boil them, might be worth checking out
Been using the Hello Disc since last cycle and it's comfy to wear throughout the day, but I find insertion pretty tricky and I could felt the firmness causing a bit of cramp after insertion. I'm still working on it but I'm interested in trying the Hey Zomi too! My only question would be is the white one going to stain easily and cause discoloration? I find white disc kind of interesting!
The white will stain overtime. But Kim has some great stain removal suggestions on her Period Nirvana website. The Hey Zomi disc also comes in black- no stains to worry about with this. Yay!😍
Would the Zomi be a good option if the Saalt Disc and the Hello Disc are slightly too firm?
To why i always steam my cups disc and before useage warm water to wash off the lint lol i like frimer rimmed disc they stay tucked up no auto leaking lol
Are these reusable discs more effective then the ones that are disposable? I tried the Flex disposables and I thought for sure it was in the correct position but after moving around a little it start to come out.
I might give this one a try. So far I've tried the disposable Soft Disc and the Hello disc.
The disposable Soft Disc was easy to insert and remove and was comfortable, but it did come untucked unintentionally a couple of times (leak!) and did not automatically re-tuck after auto-dumping. I think perhaps the diameter might be a tad too big and that was causing the untucking.
The Hello disc has not leaked or come untucked unintentionally so far (yay!). I do not need to re-tuck or adjust it in any way after auto-dumping, which is also nice. My complaint with the Hello disc is the thickness and stiffness of the rim for insertion and removal purposes. I currently have to use both hands to insert and remove it to keep it narrow through the vaginal opening.
I think the Hey Zomi might work for me based on the above. If you have any ideas/suggestions, please let me know!
Hello,
would you please tell me that I have a low cervix or not. I inserted my finger which is about 3 inches & found something like cervix. Is it low position?
I also having problem with leakage using pretty women menstrual cup.
Watchesd your videos got the disk and cup is so healthier less trash in bathroom trash can and guest don't have to be discussed with The" smell " is worth the wait
Sorry i have questions regarding the use of a menstrual disc and idk who to ask so if you, or any other watcher of this channel, can answer me, it would help me so much.
I watched all your videos as I was looking for a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to tampons, so i decided to buy a menstrual disc.
I took your website’s test when choosing the disc and used your tutorials when inserting it, but i have only one issue, and i don’t see anybody talking ab it so idk what to do
So I bought the lumma disc size S, & i inserted it correctly, because i checked and i tucked it properly behind the pubic bone, my cervix is inside it (i checked), i touched all the borders and its in place, the problem is the round part/“cup” part thats underneath the rim/border, it doesn’t open properly in the round shape, its like folded in itself a bit. This is my third change during this period, each time i tried with my finger to get it to open more, but it’s like when i create the eight shape during insertion, the cup part folds itself towards the inside following the eight shape i fold it in, and when i have put it in, it doesn’t expand/unfolds itself properly because the walls of the vagina from underneath kinda keep that space not “deep” enough and push it in itself. The only part that unfolds & permits the blood to be contained, is the part that has the vaginal canal below so there is no vaginal wall stopping it.
I thought, as the blood would pour in, the weight of the blood would help the disc take the same shape it has when its outside the vagina, and therefore permit the full capacity of it, but it didn’t and instead the blood started getting out when the capacity of the “punched-in” (sorry idk in what way to describe it) shape was finished. I think it didnt even reach 1/3 of the capacity it’s supposed to have.
Even from watching the video tutorials, it seems as if the vagina walls would shape themselves around the form of the disc, instead in my case it seems as if the walls and the insertion process are shaping the disc.
So… anybody has any tips? Did i make a mistake in inserting it? Do i have the wrong size/disc and maybe another size, brand or type of disc would have fit me better?
Also to give further context. I am a virgin, 21 years old, first time menstrual disc user and never used a menstrual cup, usually i use tampons, medium height cervix and i don’t have a tilted cervix. My flow is considered medium or light.
The diameter/circumference of the lumma disc S seems to fit me as I comfortably tucked it behind the pubic bone and behind the cervix, the rim itself adhered well to the vagina walls, after each use i had to untuck the disc from behind the pubic bone so i dont think the issue was it slipped in my vaginal canal.
Also i have been working in a standing position during the use, so it cannot be possible that the spill was caused by auto-dumping happening.
It is also not a small spill, i had the disc in for 10 hours (the capacity is supposed to be 12 hours) & i had put a pad for safety reasons and the pad ended up full, so that’s a lot of blood that wasn’t contained. The disc wasnt even 1/5 full due to the folds.
And my flow is not heavy, I usually change a tampon/pad every 8-10 hours during my heaviest day.
I’m so confused if this is normal, and for discs, capacity-wise, i have to take into consideration the anatomy and depth of the upper part of the vagina where the disc sits…. or if instead the disc is supposed to unfold into its proper form…. somebody help plsss idk anybody irl who uses a disc so i cannot ask anybody around me! & sorry for the massive TMIs and detailed descriptions
Yeah i spotted monday started today im 32 and deal with sweats hot flashes chills so many odd symptoms lol
I have a question that I have been DYING to find out! With the menstrual cup I have used, I don't really like how it has felt, and it's quite uncomfortable with the pressure to my bladder and the constant urge to pee. So, I wanted to try menstrual discs. So if I need a soft menstrual cup, should I use a soft menstrual disc or just the regular firmness??
I can answer this! It's really a "your mileage may vary" kind of moment, for some folks they do still feel bladder pressure with discs, some don't. It could also be a sizing issue as a lot of discs only come in one size (ie "one size fits most"), where some will offer bigger or smaller sizes depending on your needs. If you're not ready to fully commit to a reusable disc, they do sell disposable ones for cheaper if you wanted to do a trial run, and from there you can troubleshoot and compare with charts folks have online of different sizes, rim thickness, firmness and a variety of other disc aspects. Good luck!
I hate auto dumping so will keep using my hello disc. Wish hello will make a black disc.
They do now!
@@Zellophineyes I have it ❤😂
@@gloryrosario5233 Haha hope you're enjoying it in black!
i trued the diva disc but i think its too small. but also i have a high cervix. i saw you recommended dics with pull string/tab for higher cervix but if its too small will that make a difference? is there any ootions that are wider and have a pull option?
I have POP and my cervix is very very low. Can I use a menstrual cup?
Hi Kim, I noticed someone on taobao is using your photo as avator to sell period products. I’ve asked this guy about your relationship, he said he is your upstream supplier (or the reverse I’m not sure). I’ve sent you an email days before unfortunately didn’t get response. Do you know about this? Is it ok to buy products from this guy?
I have trouble inserting my hello disk because the rim slips against its self and removing is messy. Im not sure why it's so messy, but i think it dumps out inside while i try to remove it. Sometimes, my hand gets VERY messy.
Omg me too!
This is my first cycle using the Hello disc, so I'm still figuring it out. I think mine tends to turn sideways during removal. I am definitely having difficulty during insertion and removal due to the thick rim and firmness of the disc.
Using two hands sometimes helps, but it's awkward for me. It's also less messy if you just pull on the tab. I was removing it very slowly, which makes a mess. I'm hoping hello disk comes out with a smaller one. Good luck! It took me two cycles to get the hang of it.
I have a question please, could I use a menstrual cup even on my last day of period?
Allshadestcb1706,
Yes, you can still use menstrual cup on last day of period. I even use period cups for me ovulation too. Been doing this for years. Make sure to use water-based lubricant before insertion.
Yes but I would prefer wearing something soft and comfortable for light flow days
Hey I want to start off with saying that I absolutely love your work!🥰
I have a few questions about menstrual discs:)
A year ago I bought the Bamboozy disc in size M, 65mm diameter. I Have a high cervix and was very hard to insert and when it worked it was even harder to get it out. I’ve had several breakdowns in the bathroom because just couldn’t get a grip on it and trying with two fingers was so uncomfortable + i have long nails. I have been using an anti conception ring (54mm diameter) for 4 years without any problem now so I generally know how to insert it the right way behind the pubic bone. But most of the times the disc just wouldn’t seem to fit me after using force to put it behind the pubic bone.
So even though my cervix is high, I think a smaller disc would fit me better? I was thinking about the Diva disc, do you recommend this one for me?
And what disc do you recommend for people with long nails? Because I’ve tried a lot of ways in these 4 years with my ring but is is painful. discs like Cora and Saalt have a pocket so that the sharp edge of the nail won’t touch the vagina so I would think it will be less painful than with the Diva?
And I live in Belgium, I found the Diva disc on the US site of Amazon, it says it ships to Belgium, will it work since the Diva site doesn’t allow it yet?
Thank you so much!!❤️😊
I coould care less about getting blood on me lol my newest disc is great coughing peeing it dont move out of place witch is great o feel i csn fully trust this new one and its no fancy brand lol fsncy brands seem to let me down lol
I had a good giggle at that hand full of blood. I was seriously considering the Zomi after seeing your first post about it, but I’m so glad I waited for your review. The auto dumping is a huge deal breaker for me. I’ll just stick to my beloved Hello disc and hope they’ll come in black one day 🤞🏻
Auto dumping really depends on the person and their body. Some users will experience this while other will not. 🤗 So it depends
@@heyzomiAgree. I never experienced auto dumping. I've used the Lummi, Hello, and Nixit. Never auto dumped.
How to order
Bruhh ! I'm a teenage and sanitary pads are just tooo uncomfortable I've ordered a small menstrual cup

Please tell me something about it I'm too uncomfortable with pads in school and in home
Please tell me something 😭

Let alone get the sucker back.
Can I swim with mens disc?
yep
Hi beautiful awesome work❤💝💜💜💟💞❤💗💞💟💟💟💞💝❤💖💖💖💗💞♥🎀🎀😍🎀💟
You say ’self-empty’ only over the toilet, but don’t… people… sit down usually??
So my question is… does women really need to have a period?
Why should one go through such horrible days?
Why can’t we work for promoting period suppression?
This content creator provides non-medical advice on reusable period products.
For period suppression, seek professional medical advice. Different methods come with their own risks of side effects, though breakthrough/unexpected bleeding seems to be the most common.
Reviewing/promoting products is one thing. Recommending/promoting the chemical/hormonal manipulation of a normal bodily function is something entirely different.
There's birthcontrol to prevent periods. My friend hasn't had one in about 3 years. There's also things like hysterectomy or ablation.
Personally, for me periods are one of the blessings of being a woman. It may not be glamorous. But all my mothers and grandmother's experienced the red flow of life. And I appreciate tracking my cycle.
