Menstrual Discs
Discover Australia's widest range of reusable and disposable, flat-fit menstrual discs online at Period Shop. Designed to sit just below the cervix and rest behind the pubic bone, discs offer a low-profile fit and can be worn during intercourse to reduce mess.
What is a menstrual disc? A menstrual disc is a flexible, internal period care option with a shallow “disc” shape that tucks behind the pubic bone. Unlike cups, which form a seal in the vaginal canal, discs sit closer to the cervix for a flatter, lower-profile fit.
Many users love discs for comfort, capacity and the option to wear them during sex.

Frequently asked questions
Typically up to 12 hours, depending on your flow and the brand’s guidance. Always follow the instructions for your specific disc.
Yes, most flat-fit discs can be worn during sex to reduce mess. A menstrual disc is not contraception and does not protect against STIs; use barrier protection as needed.
Many people use a disc with an IUD. Consult your clinician, check your strings regularly, and take care not to catch the strings on the rim or a removal loop during removal. See our IUD compatibility guide in this blog.
Consider your cervix height, cup dimensions, flow, preferred firmness, comfort and removal needs. Age and birth history are only relevant when included in the manufacturer’s sizing guidance. Our quiz and comparison chart can help you narrow down your options.
Wash hands, relax and bear down to bring the rim lower. Hook your index finger through the loop (or under the rim) and remove slowly, keeping the disc level to minimise spills.
Some people experience “auto-dumping”, where the disc releases some fluid while they use the toilet. This can happen with certain discs and body shapes, but not everyone experiences it. Afterwards, check that the rim is securely tucked behind the pubic bone
Reusable discs: rinse with cool water first, then wash with mild, unscented soap; boil between cycles if the brand permits. Disposable discs are single-use - wrap and bin after use. Do not flush.
Reusable discs are typically medical‑grade silicone or TPE; disposables use soft, medical‑grade polymer. Check each product page for exact materials.
Yes. Many first-time users prefer a softer disc or a menstrual disc with a removal loop for easier retrieval. If you’re unsure, start with our quiz.
