Ecoblossom Menstrual Disc, Reusable Period Disc, Replaces Menstrual Cups

I hate tampons so I really wanted to find an alternative. This disc is better than the previous one I tried (Flex Disc. That one had no tabs and was single use). Keep in mind that these take practice and they're messy AF so only remove it in your home until you can figure out what works for you. I love the hook/loop to aide in removing this disc, but y'all, it's a damn massacre getting this thing out so do it in the shower! The first time I took this out, it was in the bathroom squatting over my pants and omg that was the absolute wrong way to do this. It got EVERYWHERE. The next time, I took it out in the shower and it was so much better!! Once it's in and it's in correctly, it's great!! You don't feel it at all. I'm gonna sleep in it tonight for the first time and will update my review. EDIT: My first night using this disc and woke up dry as a bone. Not a drop of blood anywhere! I decided to try taking the disc out while sitting on the toilet and that made a lot more sense than squatting in the shower every time I want to remove it. Removal was mess free and I was able to dump the contents right into the toilet. Super easy and I'm hoping this is always this easy because I'm done with tampons! Make sure you insert it with the tab right under your pubic bone though, otherwise you'll struggle getting the disc out. EDITING AGAIN TO ADD: Ok ladies, this thing definitely takes practice but it is worth it! This is my second period using it and this time is going much smoother than the last time, so you just have to figure out how this works best for you. I love that you can put it in and not worry about it for up to 12 hours. The easiest way I'm finding it take put it in is to fold it in half with the tab facing outward, squatting down, insert it then stand up to finish inserting it behind the pubic bone. Staying in a squatting position will make it harder for insertion. To take it out, do it while on the toilet, lean back a bit, reach for the tab and pull it out. Empty contents into the toilet and wash it out. I'll agree with others that the double rim is unnecessarily thick which makes it a bit difficult to fold up and shove up there, but it gets done. You just have to know when to angle up or down. 4TH AND FINAL EDIT: I'm over a year in on using these. Invest the time to get used to these and you won't regret it. Taking them out and putting them in have become second nature. I don't feel them. I don't leak anywhere. They're amazing. I'm even adding a star to my rating.

- Make sure to briefly research the disc and the cup and decide which one better suits your needs some differences are: cups hold less, cups are more beginner friendly and they may be easier to insert and less messy - use lubricant because it is not as easy to insert as a tampon - you have to be comfortable exploring that area of your body to make sure everything is in the right place (look up YouTube videos to understand the placement of the disc) - I had little to no leaks and I wore a panty liner just in case but it never filled - I wore it to sleep, while exercising and during the day, still minor to no leaks - I have a heavy flow and my period blood is thin (the small disc worked just fine) - I switched from pads to discs - I felt discomfort when I was inserting it for the first time and I did feel it throughout the day. Some days I felt it more than others. I think is because I’m still learning how to put it on and I’m not the best at it yet but I’m willing to overcome that with the benefits of using a disc - It’ll save you a lot of money in the long run - Removal can be messy. Since you can keep them on for 12 hours, I just insert/remove it when I shower in the morning and at night. I found it is easier because I don’t have to worry about a mess if I’m already in the shower. If your flow is heavier than mine, which mines is pretty heavy, then I’m sure you can check on it throughout the day just make sure your hands are clean. However, coming from someone with a really heavy period, I used the small disc and wore it all day and my panty liner was there just in case. If you feel more comfortable you can wear a pad just to be safe but I’m pretty sure you won’t really need it. - Overall, I’m satisfied with it

I had been using a menstrual cup for about five years, but I was never able to insert it properly. It always leaked a lot, so period liners were a must whenever I used the cup. The only time I managed to insert the cup properly, I realized that the suction caused me terrible cramps. It may have been because I have an IUD. I removed the cup and never used it again. It took me some time to try another eco-friendly and safe option. I decided to try a menstrual disc because I had seen comments from women who use them with an IUD without any problems. I bought this one because it was affordable and seemed like a good option for beginners. I have been using it for four periods now, and believe me, I don't regret it! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much because the first time I used it, it leaked a lot. But the second time, I understood better how to position it, and it was amazing. On the day when my flow was heaviest, my period liner was almost completely clean—with just a few drops after about eight hours—and I wasn't uncomfortable at all.

I don’t want to use this one again. I have the other one, from this seller, with the string thing. But I found the string too stretchy and I worried it would eventually break. And the string thing was a bit uncomfortable. So, I “upgraded” to the one with the loop. I was so excited for it. But it has a serious flaw that has happened to me twice now. One, might be an issue with myself where it seems to be tight in there and suctions deep inside right up to my cervix and I can’t get it out. Just grab the loop, you say? I would have loved to. However, that little sucker is curved and it folded in on itself so the loop disappeared. I had nothing to grab onto. I couldn’t get my finger to the edge of the lip, nothing, it was too far up. Last time, I think the auto dump feature worked and I was able to grab the rim and pull it out. This time, I had to get my husband to retrieve it for me since the auto dump feature wasn’t working. That’s a best friend/awesome husband for you! But, truly, I don’t recommend this one anymore. That tab, even though it’s on there securely, is flimsy and folds in towards the disc so it’s between the tab and the disc and it just disappears. The “O” shape turns into a “C” shape (since the O is folded in half), rendering it useless. It was a nice idea that I wanted to have work. But, it didn’t.

Information that would've helped me as a first time disc user: As a beginner, trying more sizes with less $ spent was my goal as I wasnt sure what to expect, so I got this (2 sizes and $15) instead of Flex reusable (1 size & $17). I got the regular (cyan) and small (purple, even though the product image is pink) with silicone loop tabs. I have a moderate-low cervix and have not been pregnant / given birth. The singular loop tab doesn't stick out but if there were 2 loops, it would if not tucked. For flow reference, I change out super tampons every 2-3 hours on the first 2-3 days and the flow gets lighter after that. Here are the actual measurements of the discs: Regular (tried on off period day): 68mm diameter I can still feel this one while sitting down normally - not enough to be painful but enough to notice. It didn't auto-dump as I went #1. I opted not to wear this one the first period and likely won't in the near future because it feels too big and not "like nothing" which is how a disc should feel like when inside. Small (tried during period): 60mm diameter I can't feel this one while sitting down (on my second ish period day now) - feels like as if I had nothing in, similar to my experience with tampons. Doesn't autodump no matter what (I prefer this), which are all good signs for a perfect fit. The loop is handy for taking it out, and personally did not have a lot of mess, maybe a dot or two of blood on my finger - I was also not graceful in taking it out too. Overall, pretty happy to not have to deal with dangling tampon strings going to the bathroom and wearing backup pads on the first few days in case I soak through tampons. I also don't have to worry about leaking at night. I'm thinking of getting a second small size so I can change it out for a clean one in the shower, and sanitize the used one after the shower. Cons: - Some difficulty inserting because of the rim's firmness as a beginner. I'm sure my technique will improve but, this might be a deal breaker for others, so keep in mind. - The loop part of the disc is thicker silicone to avoid flimsy and weak loops prone to breakage - which yes makes the loop stronger and last longer due to how much the loop is used, but will contribute to the discomfort of putting that part in. I can bear it but more sensitive folks will have difficulty. - As one reviewer mentioned, the loop is attached to the basin, but this makes it theoretically more comfortable since it's not adding more bulk to the rim (and less chance to leak) while giving the ease of removal. It's a give and take... come on now. - It does slow the pee flow a bit so that could also be a deal breaker. I'm fine with that part for the time being. - I've worked a lot with fabric and the "cotton" bag it comes with is very shiny, which leads me to believe it's nylon or polyester and not cotton which the product images says it to be. The quickest way to test this is the burn test but I don't care enough for that since I'll be using the saalt container. Keeping it at 4 stars due to product description inconsistencies and lack of transparency for bag, and diameter width (mm) while also still being a good product for a beginner.

The Ecoblossom disc with a loop is a white label disc. Ecoblossom is only one on Amazon offering this design in a small size. When I purchased this disc (in small- 60mm- purple) in December 2022, this was the only disc I could find anywhere that was a small size disc with a loop. This disc design is, frankly, a mess of features thrown into a disc with little understanding of what they do and how they work. My three-star rating is based purely on how terrible this disc is designed. Let's go through this disc: - RIM - it has what's called a double rim, meaning two rim loops fused together. It's firm (3.5 on Period Nirvana's scale, about the same as a Saalt or Hello disc) and moderately springy. The double rim design is copied from Nixit and Ziggy, the first two reusable discs on the market who use the double rim design. I have never figured out WHY anyone thought this double rim design is a good idea. I've found some marketing language calling it "leak-proof" but that's a lie, since leaking doesn't have much to do with this rim shape. It's just a pain to clean in the groove between each "rim." - LOOP - the loop is a great idea to add to a disc, in general. But the way it's implemented here... it's attached to the BASIN, not the rim, for one. Sure, let's attach the piece that will regularly get pulled at and attach it to the thin basin instead of the thick, sturdy rim. The basin potion that the loop is attached to is thicker than the rest of the basin, likely to compensate for this. The loop also has a really thick base. Unnecessarily thick. So thick that if they attached it to the rim, you likely wouldn't be able to pinch that part of the rim at all for insertion (which I guess is why they put it on the basin). It already makes that part of the rim a bit harder to pinch in its current position. The thick base makes sure that the loop curves against the basin and goes nowhere else. This makes the loop harder to find and loop your finger through for removal. There's also a random indent on the bottom of the loop. It almost looks like they stole the loop design straight from a soda can or elsewhere and just pasted it as is into this disc design. Genuinely don't know why it's there. For grip? Did the designers expect you to pinch the loop with forefinger and thumb instead of sticking your forefinger through the loop? The sides of the loop are quite thin and have a bit of stretch. I have doubts as to how long the sides of the loop can last before it snaps. - BASIN - The portion of the basin underneath the loop is visibly thicker and darker than the rest of the basin. It looks bad. It just looks so bad and really cheapens how this disc looks as a whole. You can't really see in the photos because they never position the disc straight on to see how this basin looks. The rest of the basin is somewhat transparent, and the thick part of the basin is not. The thick basin exists pretty much to ensure the integrity of the basin as you pull the loop to remove the disc. - BAG - it comes with a shiny satin bag that constantly left strands of thread on the disc until I flipped it inside out and washed the crap out of it. The bag feels cheap - I wouldn't be surprised if it was polyester instead of cotton. I may flame-test this one day to find out for sure. Now, does this disc work as a disc? Sure! It's not pretty, but it'll work just fine. I unfortunately never really gave this disc a fair shot. The first time I used it, I found that I could feel it when sitting down. I thought this meant that this size was the largest I could use. In retrospect, I inserted it incorrectly that time. I tried it again later on for one day and it was perfectly comfortable. However, I have other discs to try and use, so this one never got put back into rotation, especially not with the threat of having to wash the grooves in the rim. IMO, the strength of the Ecoblossom discs is to try out reusable discs at a low cost to determine if the idea/size/feature will work for you. Their regular size is 65mm, if I recall correctly (not sure why they removed this info from the listing - it's important information!) which is a good medium size to start with. There are far better disc designs out there, even among white label discs. But small round discs with a loop are still pretty rare, so this disc is still worth checking out if you think that's where your best fit might be.

This is my first time using a menstrual disc, and I've used it for two cycles now. The disc is easy to insert and remove. I thought I would have trouble with it, but it's actually pretty intuitive. Now that I've had experience using a menstrual disc, I definitely prefer using a disc over a cup. When I used a cup, I could never completely figure out how to properly position it so that there wouldn't be leakage. Half of the times I inserted a cup, I would have so much leakage that you'd think there wasn't a cup in there at all. I always needed a pad or a liner just in case. With a disc, basically the entire area of your cervix is covered, so there's no leakage. It's wonderful having the peace of mind knowing that my panties won't be drenched in blood just 15 minutes after inserting it. I would actually give this menstrual disc a 4.5 rating if I could. And the only reason it's not a 5 is because removing the disc is very messy. This isn't because this cup is worse compared to others, I think it's just the natural physical limitations of the design. Because the disc is basically in a tilted position when you pull it out, the blood naturally spills out. For me, I'm willing to deal with that. But if period blood pouring on your fingers every time you pull it out is too unpleasant for you, I would suggest you find a menstrual disc that has a design to prevent spilling when removing the disc. I know the Diva brand has a disc with a design like that, but it's like $35.

NEVER GOING BACK to anything else! I stopped using tampons years ago. went to pads. then a combo of pads and disposable discs. now I have this reusable menstrual disc in Colors. LOVE IT! little to no cramps, no uncomfortable wet feeling, and its 12 hours usage. I love this thing! 10/10 recommend. I got the size regular cause I've had a child (based on their recommendations I should get a regular) and it's perfect. don't hesitate. if you have never used a disc before it is a slight learning curve at first. but once you do it a couple times its super easy and convenient to use. it comes with directions.

Two discs for £14.99 on prime was the best value option I could find on amazon. These are oval silicon discs which are 7cm long 6.5cm wide and 4cm deep. They are soft and I experience no uncomfortable suction effect. The rim is more rigid so it's easy to fold and insert, and also stays rigid for emptying. It's a little thick to insert so you may need to use lubrication. I love the ring pull to get these out. They are soft and the material is flexible. They are a little big for me even though I have a high cervix. The end can slip out a little during the day and give me a bit uncomfortable feeling, but I think this is a sizing issue. I've not experienced any leaking with these, even if I'm coughing, laughing, or working in the garden. They are good value and if used for a long time, they are good for the environment too Recommend.

Ich trage seit ca. 2002 Tamponalternativen und habe schon viele Tassen und Menstruationsscheiben getestet . Bei dieser ist selber wenn man Erfahrung damit hat das entfernen fast unmöglich. Die lasche ist im Körper auch nicht greifbar weil sie starr nach hinten liegt . Der Rand war auch so fest das man nicht drunter kam . Ich würde es überhaupt nicht weiter empfehlen

É muito largo, impossível de usar de tao incómodo. Ja estou habituada a usar este tipo de produto, mas este é impossível. Grande demais e duro, nao consegui usa lo nem por um minuto.

I was so scared to use this item. I've put it off for ages. Today was the day and after a YouTube tutorial I did it. It was easy and worked the first time. I put the tab in the wrong way but I still easily got it out without the tab. I located my pubic bone pretty easily, I honestly was not sure I was capable but it's right there you can't miss it. I would highly recommend this to women with mobility issues, reach issues, plus sized women. Women who can only use applicator tampons. It's been 6 hours and leak free so far.

Better than cup, really easy to use to put in and take out and no mess. Also great for intercourse
