Hi there!
Recently I’ve been wanting to start really committing to using a period disk. For context:
I am 27, I live in Canada, have no children/no vaginal births, I have the copper iud, and mainly use regular-super tampons and overnight pads. First two days of my period I use regular tampons, but by day three it gets really heavy.
I purchased the Diva disk (68mm) last year and have used it twice. Both times I feel an increase in cramping, as well as issues trying to get it to tuck behind my pubic bone properly. I am also having issues with leaking and with the disk not expanding properly to hold my period.
I am wondering if this disk is too big? What disks would you recommend?
I’ve tried inserting it while standing, with a leg up, different angles and each time it‘s been the same experience. I really love the idea of the disk but I am struggling and would love some advice!
Thank you in advance 💕
