Low‑cervix users: have you found specific discs or insertion tricks that work for your anatomy? Share your tips for a secure fit!

Quote from: jessica_heart

Hey! I have a low cervix and I know it can be tricky to find a menstrual disc that feels comfortable and doesn’t leak. For me, smaller or “shallow” discs work best, like the Lumma Shorty or Nixit (though Nixit is a little wider, so it depends on your body). Sometimes I also trim my nails short for insertion—it really helps!
Tips I’ve picked up:
- Pinch the disc in a figure-8 shape to make it smaller going in.
- Angle it down and back toward your tailbone, not straight up.
- After it’s in, use a finger to tuck the front edge up behind your pubic bone.
- If it feels like it’s popping out, I sometimes squat and push it in a bit more, so it sits comfortably.
Everyone’s anatomy is a bit different, but these tricks made it way easier for me. Hope it helps! 😊

Yeah, low cervix club is… exclusive, but not exactly VIP.

Pretty much everything “normal” size feels like trying to fit a frisbee in a coin purse. I’m with you on the Lumma Shorty—it’s the only one that doesn’t make me regret my life choices. Figure-8 fold is a requirement, not a suggestion. And honestly, if you’re not squatting, you’re basically just playing yourself. Dignity is optional. Comfort is the goal.

Extra tips from the trenches:

Double-check that front edge. If it’s not *actually* behind your pubic bone, it’s just waiting for the most inconvenient moment to make a break for it.
Do a final little wiggle or shove once it’s in—sometimes it just needs convincing.
For removal: bear down a bit, hook a finger under the rim, and accept that you might get messy. Sometimes it’s neat, sometimes it’s a period crime scene. Shrug.

And just so we’re clear: if a disc doesn’t fit you, that’s on the disc, not your body. No one gets a medal for suffering through the wrong product. If it doesn’t work, toss it and move on.

Unsolicited honesty available on request. Or not. Your circus, your rules.

Yeah, low cervix club—nature’s way of saying “enjoy the extra challenge.”

Lumma Shorty is basically the only one that fits me without feeling like I’m trying to stash a frisbee. Figure-8 fold is the only way I can get it in without drama, and if you’re not squatting, you’re just asking for trouble. Seriously, dignity is optional, but comfort isn’t.

If you’re getting leaks or it feels like it’s trying to make a run for it, double-check that the front rim is actually locked behind your pubic bone. I always do a little wiggle at the end—no one talks about the wiggle, but it matters.

And removal? Bear down a bit (think: “annoyed but not giving birth”), hook a finger under the rim, and just accept that mess is part of the process sometimes. Sometimes it’s neat, sometimes it looks like a low-budget horror movie. Welcome to being a functional human.

Final word: If a disc doesn’t work for you, it’s not you. It’s the disc. Don’t martyr yourself for a product that doesn’t fit your body. There are enough things in life to compromise on—your period isn’t one of them.

Yeah, welcome to the low-cervix obstacle course. If you’re reading this hoping for grace and elegance, lower your expectations. I’ll echo Lumma Shorty—anything taller feels like I’m auditioning for “World’s Most Uncomfortable Shoplifter.” Figure-8 fold? Required. Squatting? Unless you want to do the Disc Shuffle all day, get low.

A couple more tips, since we’re already oversharing:

If it’s leaking, it’s probably not actually tucked behind your pubic bone. I do a “final nudge and wiggle”—not glamorous, but effective.
Removal: bear down gently (think: annoyed sigh, not labor contractions). Hook a finger under the rim, brace yourself for whatever happens next.
If it doesn’t fit, don’t blame your body. It’s a tool, not a personality test. Toss it and move on. Periods are annoying enough without existential guilt.

If you want more real talk, you know where to find me. If not, enjoy living in blissful ignorance.

Emma:
Yeah, low cervix is basically life on “hard mode,” but without the bragging rights. Add me to the Lumma Shorty fan club—if you hand me a standard disc, I might as well try storing leftovers in there. Figure-8 fold? Not optional. Squatting? Also not optional. If you’re not willing to give up your dignity for thirty seconds, enjoy the leaks.

If your disc feels like it’s staging a slow escape, double-check the front edge is actually behind your pubic bone. I do a last little “shove and wiggle” just to make sure it’s not plotting an exit strategy.

Removal: bear down (not like you’re birthing a small child, but like you’re mildly irritated and over it). Hook a finger under the rim and accept that sometimes it’s a quick job, and sometimes it’s… not. Welcome to the glamorous side of reproductive biology.

Final word: If a disc doesn’t work for you, it’s not your personality flaw. It’s just the wrong tool for the job. Don’t martyr yourself to a piece of silicone. There’s enough in life that doesn’t fit—your period products shouldn’t be one of them.

Yeah, low cervix club is… exclusive, but not exactly VIP. I’ll back you up on the Lumma Shorty—only disc that doesn’t make me feel like I’m shoplifting a salad plate. The figure-8 fold is required reading. If you’re not squatting, you’re just making life harder for yourself. Dignity? Overrated.

Extra tricks:

Do not trust that thing is secure until you’ve checked the front edge. If it’s not locked behind your pubic bone, it’s plotting against you. I do a “final shove and wiggle” just to send a message.
For removal: bear down a little (not Olympic-level, just annoyed-at-life level), hook a finger under the rim, and accept that you might need to wash your hands for real after. Sometimes it’s a surgical extraction, sometimes it’s a horror show. That’s the gamble.

Final word: If a disc doesn’t work for your anatomy, it isn’t a personality flaw. Your body isn’t “difficult.” It just needs what it needs. There’s no gold star for suffering through the wrong period product. Ditch what doesn’t fit and move on. That’s self-respect, not defeat.

If you want more brutal honesty or oversharing, you know where to find me. Or don’t. I’ll survive.
