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

Let’s not pretend this is a mystical journey to bodily enlightenment. It’s just blood management—pick your poison.

My top picks:

Nixit: Soft enough you don’t feel like you’re inserting a salad plate, high capacity so you’re not running a marathon to the bathroom, and yes, it’ll cost you more up front. But if you’re done bankrolling Big Tampon, it pays off. Removal? Not elegant. You’ll develop a technique. Or a vendetta.

Flex Reusable: “Beginner-friendly” is a relative term, but the rim won’t give you trauma flashbacks. Comes with a case, which you will lose in a week, but let’s pretend we’re organized.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap, disposable, and you never have to perform the public restroom blood-rinse tango. The rim’s stiffer, so if your anatomy is sensitive, expect a learning curve. Or just a curve.

What actually matters?

Actual advice: No one gets it right the first time. Disc shopping is more “trial by combat” than “Cinderella’s slipper.” Ignore anyone who swears you’ll “forget it’s there”—they’re either lying or they’ve transcended earthly sensation.

So. Are you still in the research spiral, or already side-eyeing a disc in your bathroom like it’s about to bite?

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”?

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?

Alright. I’ll spare you the pastel emojis and the “every body is different!” TED Talk.

Nixit: Soft. High capacity. Doesn’t feel like you’re smuggling Tupperware, and you won’t have to mortgage your dignity buying disposables every month. Costs more upfront, but you break even if you menstruate longer than, say, one lunar cycle. Downside: The first removal is a crime scene and a trust exercise with your own anatomy.

Flex Reusable: “Beginner-friendly” is marketing, but this one actually has a rim that doesn’t feel like a medieval punishment. Comes with a case you’ll lose immediately. It’s a decent starter if you don’t want to Google “Can a menstrual disc get lost forever?”

Softdisc (disposable): Cheap. Fine for travel. No blood-washing-in-public-restroom horror show. But the rim could double as a hula hoop—if you’re sensitive, expect a learning curve (or just… a curve).

What makes a disc the “best”?

Actual advice: You’re not going to get it right the first time. You’ll try one, hate it, mutter curses at the universe, try another. That is the way. Anyone who claims “you’ll forget it’s there” is either lying or has the pain threshold of a Greek statue.

So—where are you on the journey? Still doing research, or are you at the “staring at the disc in your cabinet like it’s a cryptid” phase?

Alright. No cutesy disclaimers. No “sparkle.” Just the reality check you didn’t ask for.

Top picks?

What actually makes a disc “the best”?

Actual advice:
First one you buy? You will probably hate it. Then you’ll hate your anatomy. Then, eventually, you’ll find what works. It’s trial, error, and a dash of existential crisis. Bodies aren’t IKEA furniture—there is no universal fit. Anyone who says “you’ll forget it’s there” is either lying, or has the pain tolerance of a minor Greek god.

So—where are you? Still researching? Or already staring down a disc in your bathroom cabinet, waiting for it to blink first?

Alright. You want the real answer? Here it is, minus the motivational hashtags and unicorn emojis.

Nixit: Soft, high-capacity, doesn’t feel like you’re trying to smuggle a dinner plate. Yes, it’s expensive up front. But if you’re tired of hemorrhaging money on tampons and pads, it pays off after a few cycles. Removing it is a learning curve—expect at least one existential crisis per month until you get the hang of it.

Flex Reusable Disc: Marketed as “beginner-friendly,” which just means the rim is less likely to make you see God. Comes with a case, which you’ll lose. Still, if you’re new to this, it’s less intimidating than most.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap, convenient for travel, and you never have to wash blood out of silicone in a public sink. Downside: the rim is stiffer. If your body doesn’t like being poked by plastic, maybe not your soulmate.

What actually matters?

Actual advice: You’ll probably hate the first one you try. Then you’ll hate your anatomy. Then you’ll find one that works, and you’ll tolerate it. That’s the reality. If anyone tells you “I forgot it was there!”—they’re either lying, or they have the pain tolerance of a marble countertop.

So, which phase are you in: still researching, or is there already a disc side-eyeing you from your bathroom shelf?

Alright. You want the truth, not a curated Pinterest board.

Nixit: Soft. High capacity. Doesn’t feel like you’re attempting amateur gynecology every time you insert it. Costs more up front, but if you’re tired of funding the tampon-industrial complex, it pays off after a few cycles. Downside: first time you go to pull it out, you’ll invent new curse words.

Flex Reusable: They’ll call it “beginner-friendly.” Really, it’s just less likely to make you Google “can a menstrual disc get lost in my body” at 2am. Flexible rim, comes with a case you’ll lose in a week.

Softdisc (Disposable): Cheap. Good for travel, or if you’d rather eat glass than rinse menstrual blood out of Tupperware in a public sink. Downside: rim is stiff, so if your anatomy is sensitive, expect a learning curve—pun not intended, but I’ll take credit.

What makes a disc “the best”?


Actual advice: You will not get it right the first time. You will glare at yourself in the mirror. You will swear at inanimate objects. And then—eventually—you’ll find one that doesn’t make you hate everything. Ignore anyone who says “you’ll forget it’s even in!” That’s myth, wishful thinking, or pain tolerance forged in hellfire.

So... are you still researching, or have you already spent too long side-eyeing a disc in your bathroom like it’s about to start talking back?

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?

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, 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:

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?

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’?

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, 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?

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?

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

My lineup:


What makes a disc “the best”?

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

Top Picks:


What makes a disc “the best”?


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?

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”?


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?

Top picks, if you actually want honesty:


What actually makes a disc “the best”?

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 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”?

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?

Top picks? 
What makes one “the best”? 

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?

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?
