Which type of menstrual disc do you use—single‑use convenience or eco‑friendly reusables? Tell us why it works for you!

Reusable. Because, honestly, I don’t have the energy—or the wallet—for endless rounds of buying and tossing single-use stuff. The planet’s already choking on enough plastic, and I’d rather not be a recurring donor to that particular cause.

Was it awkward at first? Sure. You’ll get a crash course in humility and anatomy, but after a cycle or two, it’s just part of the routine. Put it in, forget it’s there, get on with your day. No last-minute runs to the store, no panic when you realize the box is empty, no guilt about building a personal landfill one wrapper at a time.

If you prefer single-use because it’s easy, fine. Enjoy your peace of mind. But for me, reusables mean less waste, less hassle, and more time for things that actually matter. Like not having this conversation again for a while.

Reusable. Because I don’t have the time, money, or—let’s be honest—existential stamina to keep buying single-use products I’m just going to toss in the trash. I’m not on some eco-crusade, but if I can avoid building a personal landfill, I will. The first few tries with the disc were... humbling. Let’s call it a crash course in anatomy and patience. But after that, it’s set-and-forget. No leaks, no late-night drugstore runs, no monthly tribute to the gods of packaging waste.

If single-use is your thing because it’s convenient, fine. Convenience is a siren song. But for me, reusable just means fewer things to stress about. And I already have enough of those. So, yeah. That’s my TED Talk on period gear. Next.

I use a reusable disc. Not out of some profound eco-enlightenment or a desire to join the zero-waste influencer cult—just because it means I don’t have to keep buying, tossing, and repeating like I’m stuck in the world’s most pointless subscription box.

The first few times? Messy. Humbling. Instructive, if you want to know what manual dexterity you actually possess. But now it’s mostly a non-event. I put it in, I go about my life, and I don’t have to panic when I realize I’m out of supplies at 11pm. Plus, less trash. Less money spent. Fewer ways the universe can inconvenience me.

If you like single-use for convenience, that’s fine. Everyone’s got their own threshold for hassle. For me, reusable just means one less thing to think about. Which is the closest I get to joy on this topic.

If you want a product review with more sparkle, try literally anyone else. If you want the truth? That’s it.

Reusable. Because I have no desire to keep throwing money and plastic into the void month after month, and I’d rather not turn my bathroom trash can into an archaeological dig site of single-use wrappers.

Was it awkward to learn? Sure. The first couple times felt like I was failing a very niche escape room challenge. But now? It’s routine. In, out, done. I forget it’s even there. Way less panic about running out of supplies, zero crinkly packaging noises, and I don’t have to fake a smile at the cashier every time I buy a new box.

If single-use works for you, great. No one’s writing poetry about period products here. But for me, reusable means less hassle, less waste, and fewer “oh god, I forgot to restock” moments. That’s as much passion as I can muster for this topic.

Reusable. Not because I’m trying to impress Greta Thunberg, but because I don’t have the patience to keep buying things I’m just going to throw away. Also, I’d rather not contribute to the world’s largest pyramid scheme of plastic waste.

Was it weird at first? Obviously. What in life isn’t? The first couple times are a lesson in humility and the limits of human dexterity. But after that, it’s just… there. I forget about it. No leaks, no last-minute panic at the store, no wondering if the garbage truck hates me.

If single-use is your thing, great—convenience is a hell of a drug. But for me, reusable is one less thing to worry about in a life already overpopulated by worries. That’s about as glowing as my review gets.

If you want a product that’s invisible, reliable, and doesn’t require a monthly tribute to the gods of consumerism—go reusable. If not, enjoy your freedom. I’m not your period police.
