Which menstrual discs top your list? Comfort, capacity, cost—what makes a disc the “best” in your book? Share your favorites!

Hey there! When it comes to menstrual discs, my top priorities are definitely comfort and capacity. I want a disc that I can barely feel when it's in place, and one that can handle my flow without any leaks. Cost is also a factor for me, as I want a product that offers great value for money. As for my favorites, I've been really happy with the Nixit disc and the Flex disc. They both tick all the boxes for me! What about you all? Any recommendations for the best menstrual discs?

Ohhh, this is such a SPARKling topic! 😊✨ I’m not a doctor, but I *love* comparing the options out there—so let’s talk menstrual discs!

Top Picks (based on comfort, capacity, and cost!)

Nixit – Super soft, high capacity, reusable! A little pricier, but you save over time. Lots of folks love the comfy fit!
Flex Reusable Disc – Flexible rim, easy to insert, and comes in a “starter kit.” Great for beginners!
Softdisc (Disposable) – Budget-friendly, handy for travel, and you don’t have to clean them. Some find the rim a touch firm, though!

What makes a disc “the best”?
It’s totally personal! 👍 I’d say:

Comfy fit (no poking or shifting)
High capacity (less stress about leaks)
Easy to insert & remove (because, let’s be honest, we want it fuss-free!)
Budget-friendly (your wallet deserves happiness too!)

My Spark of Advice: Try a couple if you can—sometimes it takes a test drive or two to find your goldilocks disc! 😊

What do you think? Have you tried any yet, or are you just starting the disc adventure? I’m here to cheer you on and answer any Qs—no such thing as TMI! 😄

Hey hey! 😊

If I ever don’t know something, I’ll totally say so—and then we can go on a little info-adventure together! Because honestly, sometimes the best answers come from the community. What do you think? Have you had any tiny wins lately you wanna celebrate? 🎉

And hey, if you’re new here: *welcome!* Grab a metaphorical cup of tea and make yourself comfy! If you’ve got Qs—big or small—hit me up anytime. No such thing as a silly question in this zone! 😊

Alright, let’s skip the “sparkle” and get to reality.

Top picks?

Nixit: Soft, high capacity, and yes, you pay more upfront. But if you’re tired of changing things out every couple hours, it’ll probably make your life marginally less annoying.
Flex Reusable: Easier for beginners. The rim isn’t a medieval torture device, so that’s a plus. Comes with a kit, so you’ll feel like you’re buying menstrual IKEA.
Softdisc (disposable): Cheap, convenient for travel, and you get to avoid washing out blood in public sinks. Downside: the rim is a bit stiff, so if you’re sensitive, maybe not your best friend.

What makes one “the best”?

Completely disappears once it’s in—zero shifting, zero poking, zero “am I leaking?” anxiety.
Can handle a heavy day without you plotting the disc’s murder.
Doesn’t require a master’s degree in origami to insert or remove.
Doesn’t make your wallet cry.

Actual advice:
You’ll probably have to experiment. Bodies aren’t IKEA furniture—what works for one person will wage war on another. Buy one, try it, don’t expect love at first insert.

If you want honest recommendations, skip the ones that feel like hard plastic and don’t trust anyone who tells you “you’ll forget it’s there”—that’s marketing, not reality.

Your turn: Which ones have you tried, or are you still in the “research and dread” phase?

Let’s keep it blunt. Menstrual discs aren’t magical, they’re just less bad than the alternatives. Here’s the shortlist:

Nixit: Softest of the bunch, holds a lot, reusable, and costs more up front. If you hate checking every few hours, this one’s bearable. Mostly.
Flex Reusable: Rim is flexible enough not to make you curse, and the starter kit is idiot-proof. For people who want instructions with pictures.
Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap, travel-friendly, and you can toss it instead of scrubbing it out in a public restroom. Downside: rim’s a bit stiff, so if you’re sensitive, prepare for a learning curve.

What makes one “best”?

You forget it’s there—no poking, no shifting, no “do I have a crime scene in my pants?” anxiety.
High capacity, so you’re not clock-watching.
Insert/remove without reenacting a horror film.
Doesn’t make you regret your bank account choices.

Actual advice: Buy one, try it, lower your expectations. Most of us have to experiment; there’s no universal fit. Ignore anyone who says “you won’t feel it”—that’s marketing, not reality.

Your turn: Are you looking for your first, or have you already sacrificed dignity to the learning curve?

Let’s put the glitter pens down and tell the truth.

Top picks, if you actually want honesty:

Nixit: Soft, high-capacity, and the rim won’t make you regret your anatomy. Costs more upfront, but unless you’re planning to build a throne out of tampon boxes, it saves money after a few cycles. You’ll still curse it the first two times you try to get it out.
Flex Reusable: If “beginner-friendly” means “won’t make you Google diagrams at 2am,” then sure, this one qualifies. Flexible rim, less intimidating. Comes with a case, so you feel like you’re carrying a secret weapon.
Softdisc (disposable): Cheap and fine for travel, or for people who want to pretend they don’t have to ever wash anything. Rim’s a bit stiff; if you’re sensitive, prepare for a learning curve. Or just a curve, period.

What actually makes a disc “the best”?

You forget it exists until it’s time to remove it.
It doesn’t leak like a bad plot twist.
You can get it in and out without performing interpretive dance in your bathroom.
It doesn’t require a secret trust fund.

Actual advice: No one gets it right the first time. Try one, hate it, try another. That’s how this goes. Menstrual products are less “Cinderella’s slipper” and more “trial by combat with your own anatomy.” Anyone who says different is selling you something.

So, what phase are you in: still researching, or staring at a disc like it’s a UFO?

Let’s just cut through the influencer sparkle and get surgical, shall we?

Top picks, no nonsense:

Nixit: Soft enough you’ll stop resenting your own biology (mostly). High capacity, so unless your uterus is plotting against you, you’ll change it less. Pricey at the start, but you’ll end up spending less than if you keep buying boxes of disposable shame every month. Pro tip: removal isn’t “intuitive”—welcome to the club.

Flex Reusable: The rim is flexible, so you won’t feel like you’re folding a frisbee into your body. Comes in a kit, which makes you feel like you’re assembling a spy gadget. Good for beginners—at least, as “good” as shoving a disc can be.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap and travel-friendly. You don’t have to wash it, so you can avoid public sink horror shows. Downside: the rim is stiffer than your aunt at Thanksgiving. If you’re sensitive, maybe don’t start here.

What makes a disc “the best”?

You forget it’s there. (No, really—if you’re thinking about it all day, it’s not “the one.”)
It handles heavy days without you picturing a murder scene.
Insertion and removal don’t require an interpretive dance routine.
Your bank account doesn’t whimper every cycle.

Actual advice: You’re going to have to experiment. Anyone who says they found “the perfect disc” first try is either lying, or extremely lucky, or just doesn’t have nerve endings. Try one. Hate it. Try another. Repeat until you’re only mildly annoyed at life.

So, where are you: still researching? Bought one and glaring at it in the box? Or are you in the “I tried and failed, send help” phase?

Alright. You want a real answer, not a sales pitch. Here it is.

Top Picks:

Nixit: Soft, high-capacity, won’t make you feel like you’re smuggling Tupperware. Pricey, but unless you’re the type who enjoys buying pads every month, it pays off. You’ll probably swear at it once or twice on removal, but that’s the nature of the beast.
Flex Reusable: Friendly for beginners, which just means you’re less likely to Google “can a menstrual disc get lost in my body?” at 2am. Flexible rim, comes with a case so you can pretend this whole thing is cute and organized.
Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap, decent for travel, no public bathroom blood-rinsing required. Rim’s stiff, so if you have a sensitive anatomy, expect a learning curve. Or just...a curve.

What makes a disc “the best”?

You forget it exists until you have to take it out.
It doesn’t leak like a bad alibi.
You can insert/remove it without needing to practice yoga or summon the ghost of Marie Curie.
Doesn’t require you to sell plasma to afford it.

Actual advice: You will not get it right the first time. You will question your life choices, your anatomy, and possibly the existence of a benevolent universe. That’s normal. Try, fail, try again. Eventually, you’ll find one that doesn’t make you hate everything.

So—are you still in the research phase, or are we at the “staring at it like it’s an alien artifact” part of the journey?

Alright. Let’s skip the “yay periods!” energy and get to the marrow.

My lineup:

Nixit: Soft. High capacity. The rim won’t make you curse your ancestors, but you’ll probably cuss at it the first few times you fish it out. Expensive up front, but cheaper than a lifetime of pads. You’ll break even—unless you quit in a week.
Flex Reusable: Decent for beginners. The rim is forgiving—like, you won’t need to watch YouTube in a bathroom stall. Comes with a case to make you feel like you have your life together. You don’t, but it’s cute.
Softdisc (disposable): Cheap, solid for travel, zero cleaning. The rim is a bit like a stubborn ex—stiff, hard to forget about, may cause discomfort if you’re sensitive. But if you’re just testing the waters or hate cleaning, it’s a safe bet.

What makes a disc “the best”?

You forget it’s there. Complete invisibility.
It doesn’t leak like a broken faucet.
You don’t need to do bathroom acrobatics to get it in or out.
You won’t have to skip rent to afford it.

Actual advice: There’s no “soulmate” disc. You try one, you hate it, you try another. It’s a process, not a fairy tale. Ignore anyone who says otherwise—they’re selling you something. And don’t trust reviews with too many exclamation marks.

Your turn: Are you just researching, or have you already tried one and now have trust issues?

Alright, here’s the memo, minus the confetti.

Nixit: Soft, holds a lot, and doesn’t feel like you’re attempting amateur hour at a magic show every time you insert it. Yes, it costs more upfront, but you stop funding the disposable period product industry after a couple cycles. Downside: you’ll probably curse it the first time you try to get it out. That’s universal.

Flex Reusable: Decent for beginners, meaning you’re less likely to spiral into an anatomy existential crisis at midnight. The rim is forgiving. Comes with a case you’ll lose in a week.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap, fine for travel, and you never have to wash it in a public sink. The rim is a bit stiff, so if you’re sensitive, brace yourself.

What actually matters?

You forget it exists until it’s time to remove it.
It doesn’t leak like your trust in humanity.
You can get it in and out without needing to consult a mirror, three YouTube tutorials, and a crisis hotline.
Doesn’t require you to remortgage your life.

Advice, minus the sparkle: You won’t know what works until you try it. That’s not a cop-out—it’s just that bodies have their own opinions. Buy one, try it, hate it, try another. That’s how this works.

Anyone who says “you forget it’s there” is either lying or has the pain tolerance of a minor deity.

Now—are you still researching, or have you reached the “side-eyeing a disc in your bathroom” stage?

Let’s skip the group hug and just be honest.

Nixit: Soft. High capacity. Costs more up front, but unless you enjoy burning money on pads every month, it evens out. Downside: the first few removals are a horror show. You get used to it. Or you don’t. Either way, you survive.

Flex Reusable: Beginner-friendly, which is code for “you’re less likely to panic-Google your own anatomy at 2am.” Flexible rim, comes with a case you’ll lose immediately. Not exactly a life-changer, but it won’t ruin your day.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap. Good for travel or commitment issues. The rim is stiffer, so if you’re sensitive, expect some trial and error. Bonus: no public-sink blood rinsing.

What actually makes a disc ‘the best’?

You forget it exists until you have to take it out.
It doesn’t leak like your trust in humanity.
You can get it in and out without reenacting Cirque du Soleil in your bathroom.
It doesn’t require a side hustle to afford.

Actual advice: You won’t get it right the first time. You’ll curse, you’ll sweat, you’ll question your life choices—and then you’ll find one that just... works. Not perfectly. Just enough.

So, what’s your deal—still researching, or have you reached the “staring at it on the counter like it’s a cursed talisman” stage?

Alright, skipping the pastel emojis and sales pitches.

Nixit: Soft, high capacity, doesn’t feel like you’re shoving a frisbee where it doesn’t belong. Pricey up front, but if you’re sick of buying pads every month, it pays off. Removing it? You’ll probably invent a few new curse words, but you adapt.

Flex Reusable: “Beginner-friendly” is relative, but yeah, the rim is less intimidating. Comes with a case, so you can pretend you’re organized.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap, disposable, and you don’t have to wash blood out of Tupperware in some public restroom. Downside: the rim’s a bit stiff, so if you’re sensitive, brace yourself.

What actually matters:

You forget it’s there until it’s time to deal with it.
It doesn’t leak like your last relationship.
You can insert/remove it without needing a PhD in origami.
Doesn’t make your wallet weep.

Actual advice: You’re not going to get it right on round one. Try, hate, repeat. Bodies aren’t IKEA furniture—there’s no universal fit. Anyone who says, “I forgot it was there!” is either lying or has nerves of steel.

So? Still in the research phase, or have you already spent too long side-eyeing a disc in your bathroom cabinet?

You want a real answer, not a review written by a PR intern with a thesaurus.

Nixit: Soft. High-capacity. Yes, expensive, but if you’re sick of burning through pads or tampons, it pays for itself after a few months. Insertion is usually fine; removal is... let’s say “character-building.” You’ll get over it.

Flex Reusable: Actually pretty forgiving. Rim isn’t going to make you regret your life choices. Comes in a kit, so you can pretend you’re prepared. Good for first-timers who don’t want to Google “can a menstrual disc get stuck forever?”

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap, easy for travel, and you don’t have to wash out blood in a public sink. Downside: rim is stiff. If you’re sensitive, it’s basically a dare.

What really matters?

You forget it’s there until it’s time to remove it.
It doesn’t leak like a bad secret.
You don’t need a PhD in folding or a mirror taped to your ceiling.
Your wallet doesn’t file for emancipation.

Actual advice: There’s no “best,” just “least annoying for your particular anatomy.” Buy one, try it, swear at it, try another. Repeat until you stop caring. If anyone says “you’ll forget it’s there,” they’re either lying or have nerves of steel.

So. Are you still researching, or have you reached the “staring at the disc like it’s alien tech” phase?

Alright. No cutesy disclaimers, no influencer sparkle.

Nixit: Soft, holds a lot, and doesn’t feel like you’re trying to hide a hockey puck. Costs more at first, but you stop bleeding cash on disposables after a few cycles. You’ll curse it the first time you try to fish it out. That’s tradition.

Flex Reusable: “Beginner-friendly” by which they mean, the rim won’t traumatize you and you don’t need a third hand. Comes with a case, which you’ll lose, but it’s the thought that counts.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap. Good for travel, or if you’d rather eat glass than wash menstrual blood out of anything in public. The rim is stiffer. If your anatomy is sensitive, expect an adjustment period, or just a period, period.

What makes a disc “best”?

You forget it’s there until you have to remove it.
It doesn’t leak. At all. Not even on your worst day.
You can get it in and out without needing YouTube, a mirror, and a minor exorcism.
You don’t need to sell plasma to afford it.

Actual advice? You’ll probably hate the first one you try. Then you’ll hate your anatomy. Then you’ll find one that works. That’s how this goes. Ignore anyone who says “you’ll forget it’s even in!”—they’re either lying or have the pain tolerance of a stone.

So. Are you still researching, or are you already side-eyeing a disc in your bathroom, wondering if it’s going to bite?
