Sterilize Before First Use

Since the disc isn’t sterile when you get it, make sure to sterilize it before the first use and after every cycle.

Place the disc in a small pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.
Important: Make sure there is enough water in the pot. If the water evaporates completely, the disc could burn or become damaged.

Inserting Your Mooneva Disc

  1. Start by washing your hands. Find a comfortable position: sitting on the toilet, squatting, or standing with one leg up are popular choices.
  2. Pinch the rim of the disc together to form a figure-eight shape. Insert the disc at a slight angle, aiming backwards toward your tailbone. Push it in as far as it comfortably goes.
  3. Use your finger to push the front rim up and tuck it behind your pubic bone. You may feel it settle into place. When correctly positioned, the disc will sit just below your cervix and won't leak.

Wear Time and Capacity

The Mooneva Menstrual Disc has one of the highest capacities of any menstrual care product. It can hold between 30 and 60 milliliters of menstrual fluid, making it an excellent choice if you have a heavy flow.

You can wear the disc for up to 12 hours, which means you can go about your day, work, exercise, or simply rest without worrying about changing it. For most people, this means only needing to empty it twice a day.

If your flow is very heavy, you may need to empty it more often. During your first few cycles, you will get a better sense of the timing that works best for your body. Just remember that the disc should never be worn for longer than 12 hours at a time.

Removing Your Menstrual Disc

Always start by washing your hands with soap and water. This helps keep the process clean and safe.

  1. Find a position where you feel comfortable and relaxed. Many people prefer sitting on the toilet, squatting, or standing with one leg raised, such as on the edge of the bathtub. Choose what feels best for you.
  2. Gently insert your index finger into your vagina and locate the rim or the removal loop of the disc. Hook your finger around it and slowly pull the disc out, keeping it level to avoid accidental spills. Move gently and steadily until it is completely removed

Rinse, Wash and Reinsert 

Empty the contents into the toilet, then rinse the disc thoroughly with cold water. You do not need to use soap every time, but if you choose to, make sure it is mild, fragrance-free, and free from harsh chemicals. Avoid creamy or heavily perfumed soaps, as these can cause irritation. Then just reinsert your disc.

Storing Your Menstrual Disc

When your period is over, sterilize your disc by boiling it in water for 10 minutes. Allow it to dry completely before storing it.

Place the clean, dry disc in the breathable cotton pouch provided in your box. This helps keep it protected while allowing air circulation.

Avoid storing your disc in airtight containers or plastic bags. Without proper airflow, moisture can get trapped, increasing the risk of bacterial growth, and certain plastics may damage the silicone over time. Proper storage keeps your disc safe, clean, and ready for your next cycle.
