What Is the Mooneva Menstrual Disc? Your Guide to Sustainable Period Care
How to use a menstrual disc
Using a menstrual disc is easier than it looks, it just takes a bit of practice.
- Sterilize: Before your first use and after each cycle, boil the disc for 10 minutes.
- Insert: Wash your hands, pinch the rim into a figure-eight, and guide it at a slight angle toward your tailbone. Tuck the front rim behind your pubic bone to keep it in place.
- Wear: The disc can hold up to 60 ml of flow and protect you for up to 12 hours.
- Remove & Clean: Hook a finger around the rim or loop, pull out slowly, empty, rinse, and reinsert if needed.
- Store: At the end of your period, sterilize, dry completely, and keep it in the cotton pouch provided.
Why Choose a Menstrual Disc?
A menstrual disc is a simple way to make your period easier, healthier, and greener.
-
Comfortable and Convenient
You only need to empty it about twice a day, giving you more freedom and fewer interruptions.
-
Gentle on Your Body
Made from medical grade silicone, the disc is free from harmful chemicals and feels soft against your body.
-
Eco-Friendly
One reusable disc replaces hundreds of pads and tampons, helping to significantly reduce waste every cycle.
-
Cost-Effective
Instead of buying new period products every month, a single disc can last for years, saving you money over time.
-
Intimacy-Friendly
The disc's placement allows for comfortable, mess free sex while you're wearing it.
Menstrual Disc vs Menstrual Cup
Both menstrual discs and cups are reusable, body-safe options that give you more freedom during your period but they work a little differently.
Ultimately, the choice comes down to your personal preference, body anatomy, and lifestyle including whether you want the option to enjoy intimate moments without interruption.

How to Choose the Right Menstrual Disc
Choosing your first menstrual disc might feel a bit intimidating, but it is simpler than it seems. The most important factor is your cervix height, which affects how comfortably the disc fits and stays in place.
Small Disc
Holds up to 30 mL
Ideal for a low cervix, lighter flows, teens, younger adults, or anyone sensitive to larger products.
Regular Disc
Holds up to 60 mL
Best for a medium to high cervix, heavier flows, or longer wear between emptying. It is also a good choice if you find menstrual cups difficult to keep in place.
Not sure which size is right for you? Take our quick quiz and answer a few simple questions. We'll recommend the perfect disc for your body and flow.
Who Is a Menstrual Disc For?
A menstrual disc is for anyone who wants a comfortable, safe, and reusable period product that fits seamlessly into their life.
You might love a disc if you:
- Have a busy schedule and want long-lasting protection without frequent changes.
- Are sensitive to single-use products and want to avoid harsh chemicals.
- Want a cost-effective solution that lasts for years instead of buying products every month.
- Care about your vaginal health and want a product that won't disrupt your natural pH or flora.
- Want to swim or be active without using tampons.
- Have tried a cup before and found it noticeable, difficult to insert, or tricky to remove.
Menstrual discs offer comfort, freedom, and peace of mind for a wide range of flows, body types, and lifestyles. If you're unsure whether a disc is right for you, our Mooneva Support Team is always ready to help.
Who Should Not Use a Menstrual Disc?
While a menstrual disc is a wonderful and safe option for many, it may not be suitable for everyone. We recommend consulting with your doctor before use if you fall into any of the following categories:
- Vaginismus: This condition causes involuntary muscle spasms in the vagina, which can make insertion and removal of a disc uncomfortable or difficult.
- Allergy to Medical Grade Silicone: Although this is rare, if you have a known allergy to silicone, you should not use a menstrual disc.
- Vaginal Infection, Wounds, or Irritation: Avoid using a disc if you have a current vaginal infection, such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis, or if you have any vaginal wounds, irritation, or inflammation.
- Postpartum Bleeding (Lochia): A menstrual disc is not intended for use with postpartum bleeding. However, once your doctor has cleared you for tampon use, a menstrual disc is a great choice for your regular period after giving birth.
Tips for First Time Users
Getting used to a menstrual disc takes a little practice, but it's much easier than it seems. Here are some simple tips to make your first cycles smoother:
Take your time
Most people need a couple of cycles to really get the hang of it. That's totally normal.
Find your position
Try sitting on the toilet, squatting, or standing with one leg raised. Go with what feels most comfortable for you.
Pinch and angle
Pinch the rim into a figure 8 and insert it at a slight angle toward tailbone. Your body will naturally guide it in.
Push it up
Push the disc as high as it can go. It won’t get lost and is easy to reach for removal.
Tuck the rim
Slide the front rim behind your pubic bone. Once it's in place, you should not really feel it at all.
Be patient with yourself
A small leak or a tricky removal in the beginning is normal. Each time gets easier.
Sustainability That Feels Good
Periods are natural, but the products we use for them make a big difference. By choosing reusables, you're joining a growing movement that's changing period care for the better.
Less waste, more impact
One Mooneva disc can last up to 10 years, saving around 5,000 pieces of waste from the landfill.
A breath of fresh air
Over its lifetime, a single disc can help you save around 70 kg of CO2 emissions.
This is the impact that you make with just one disc! Imagine encouraging your friends, family, or other people to do so, and so on! Together, we can save the Earth.
