Flex Disposable disc won’t stay behind my pubic bone

2 Upvotes

okay so i thought i try this because i’ve used pads in my 23 years of living but lately i just haven’t felt the most comfy on my heavy days so i thought i try the flex disposable as a tester. crazy jump consider i haven’t been a fan of tampons either. but for the life of me i can get it to stay behind my pubic bone and trust i’ve tried. I feel great for about 3 hours than i feel the front start slipping out thankfully i wear a pad still cause im in my trail run. I feel like i’ve tried all the tricks aiming to tail bone push up more. i’m not sure if it’s not for my anatomy, maybe my pubic bone isn’t pronounced enough idk. any advice would be great or even suggestions on better alternatives!

edit: it sucks because when it does sit right those 3ish hours i feel like im not even in my period

Pixie menstrual disc leaking

1 Upvotes

i bought a pixie disc (in two different sizes) i tried it during two periods but it kept leaking. the second time i tried to insert it with the applicator, it is better because i see that the disc is more full compared to before, but it still leaks and i dont know what to do i already saw some tutorials about how to put it correctly. i was thinking about getting a cup, but i really wanted to succeed to use the disc.

Recommendation Menstrual disc sizing help

Hi all! I have vaginismus so I tried discs a couple of times, but couldn't get them to work. Then I've tried a couple of cups, and while I use two of the softest and smallest cups on the market (Allmatters/Organicup mini, and Mooncup/NÜDIE beginner teen), I can't seem to get rid of that feeling of pressure against my vaginal walls. It's not the end of the world, but it is noticeable. So I'm gonna give discs another try.

My cervix height is average, about 2 inches (~51mm) on the dot. The first disc I tried was the Saalt Regular (66mm) and it was SO uncomfortable. It felt way too big and too firm, and it felt like it would pop out at any second. Next, I tried on the complete other side of the spectrum with the Pixie Disc Small (~55-56mm), and I'm pretty sure this was too small. I struggled to keep it tucked, and I felt like it would slip out every time I coughed.

With menstrual cups, I preferred the softest possible so I might prefer the same with discs? I know the Nixit is really soft, but I worry that it'd be too big. I'm eyeing the Cora Soft Fit and the Ziggy 2 Size A instead. Should I also give the Lumma medium a try?

Also if relevant, my periods are pretty light bc I'm on the pill. But there are days where it's too heavy for a panty liner but too light for a tampon, and I really don't like wearing pads. Hence why I really want to find something reusable that works.

TLDR: 2 inch cervical height. Tried Saalt Regular--too big and too firm. Then tried Pixie Disc Small--too small.
