Menstrual accessory FAQ

What's the best menstrual product to use?

The best menstrual product depends above all on your personal needs, your flow and your lifestyle. There are many options, such as menstrual panties, washable sanitary towels, menstrual cups, menstrual discs or even menstrual swimwear. Menstrual pants are an excellent alternative, as they are reusable, comfortable and very practical. They offer long-lasting protection, with no leakage or odor, and are ideal for light to heavy flows. If you prefer an internal product, menstrual cups and disks are also effective options. Finally, in the water, we recommend our pretty menstrual swimsuits.

How to choose your menstrual disc?

When choosing a menstrual disc, it's important to consider your menstrual flow and personal comfort. Menstrual discs generally come in a range of sizes and materials, allowing you to find the one that best suits your morphology and needs. A smaller disc will suit those with a light flow, while a larger disc will be better suited to a heavy flow. Make sure you choose a medical-grade material, too, to guarantee safety and comfort.

Is a menstrual disc safe?

Yes, menstrual discs are safe when used correctly. They are generally made of medical silicone, a hypoallergenic material that is kind to the body. Like other internal protection devices, it is essential to remove and wash them regularly (at least every 12 hours) to avoid any risk of infection, such as toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Be sure to follow the care instructions to ensure safe use.

Is it better to use menstrual cups or discs?

The choice between a menstrual cup and a menstrual pad depends on your personal preferences. Both are reusable, environmentally-friendly alternatives to disposable tampons or sanitary pads. The menstrual cup is often easier to insert for those already accustomed to internal protection, while the menstrual disc, with its flat shape, can offer superior comfort, particularly for sporting activities or intercourse during periods. Some women find the disc more convenient to remove and insert, but this remains a matter of individual preference.
