I hadn't delved into cup/disc life but read about the Hello Disc and decided to give it a go after looking up some reviews. I've found it easy to use, and an effective way to manage my periods - I feel like I have fewer cramps when I use the disc than when I use tampons. Didn't take long to get the hang of using it and I like that you can have it in for a full day (depending on flow!) I think I'll possibly look to buy a second one in the black as - even with washing and sterilising - it has stained a smidge over time. In saying that, it's easier to see that it is cleaned properly in the light colour... I've made a little fabric bag to store it in, in-between use. It'd be neat if they came with this. As someone who hadn't used a cup before I found this a really good option. Highly recommend as an alternative to disposable products.

I've tried cups in the past and never found one that was completely comfortable, so I have to admit I was a little skeptical about trying a disc, but this is great! I don't even know it's there, being able to wear it for 12hrs means I can get through a busy work day without needing to bother with it. So good, highly recommend.
