Trying a menstrual disc for the first time can feel a little intimidating - especially for teens. But with the right guidance, it can quickly become one of the easiest and most comfortable period care options.
Many teenagers choose a disc because it can be worn for up to 12 hours, is comfortable for swimming and sports, and is reusable. The key is taking it slowly and giving yourself time to learn.
Tips for first-time users:
• Start with a smaller size
• Practice insertion at home before wearing it out
• Relax - it often takes a couple of tries
• Use a liner the first few times while you learn
Every body is different, and finding the right period product is part of the journey. With a little practice, many teens find a disc becomes their favourite option.
