CUPS are all
a little different

ed of a new menstrual cup, as my current one (lunette brand which was 10+ years old) started having a small breakage in-between the silicon join. I wanted to try hey zomi as they are an Australian brand, and wanted to try a disc as they didn’t exist when I first bought my lunette cup. Hey zomi also came in black, which was a big plus, since coloured silicon tends to have stains over time. I have used the hey zomi disc for 3 cycles, and sorry to say I will be going back to a menstrual cup. Using a disc is VERY messy compared to a cup. A cup will hold and contain the blood within the cup and when you removed it you can pour it into the toilet/basin, then wipe it out with tissue paper. The disc does not contain the blood at all. It is like a shelf you are pulling out, so the blood just spills out over your hands/clothes. For removal of the disc (when full) I would recommend pulling it out half way, still half inserted above the pubic bone, sit back down over the toilet and do a few kegels to push out the excess blood into the toilet, then remove the disc with some toilet paper in your hand. But it is still very messy and I would not remove this in a public bathroom- high recommend to remove it at home in the shower only. The disc also retains odours. Even after sanitizing in boiling water for 10 minutes it still has an odor after my second cycle. My lunette cup is very old and does not have the smells that the hey zomi disc has after a short use. Also I find a cup is more sturdier and hard wearing than the hey zomi. The bowl portion of the hey zomi is quite a thin delicate silicon sheet, which I understand is designed that way to be able to be folded into a narrow shape for insertion. However I feel it will not last the same amount of years compared to my cup. I am using a soft headed toothbrush for cleaning after use, and have to be quite gentle for fear of ripping the silicon. If you are a first time user for a disc/cup I’d recommend going with a cup for the above reasons. For either of these products (disc/cup) you will need to learn about your female anatomy to get the placement right. Both of these will need to cover the cervix to avoid getting leaks. Personally I find the cup easier and faster to insert. After inserting into the vaginal cavity, 1 – It needs to be above the pubic bone. Do a few kegels and if the product pulls away from you, it is above the pubic bone. 2 – you will need to feel with your finger around the rim of the disc/cup to see if you can feel your cervix. If you can feel it outside the rim of the disc/cup it is not in the correct position and it will leak! Reposition it so that it covers your cervix – with the hey zomi you can feel your cervix through the thin silicon, which means it is in the correct place. All the best ladies x

e it. Material is very soft which makes it a bit trick to put in and the lack of a lip /ring takes a little bit of practice to remove it as it is hard to reach and pull it out. Other than that is very comfy and had free issues with leaking. It’s great a buy.

takes a little bit of practice to insert in. But awesome buy!

tuck behind the pubic bone, or wouldn’t stay there). I thought discs wouldn’t ever work for me, but turns out they were just the wrong size! The small menstrual disc fits properly, and it’s brilliant – perfectly comfortable, no leaks, easy to use and clean. So happy I can finally stop searching!

ng as it does dry out after a few months. Recommend replenishing in bags for on the go with your cycle.

as reasonably happy with it. I did run into trouble with it on particularly heavy days when I would need to empty it and was not at home. I also occasionally ran into leakage issues. I have tried a different type of disc that would not stay in place and gave up on the idea. Then I saw this one and read some reviews so decided to make the investment and have another try at a disc. SO glad I did! This really suits me to a T. Although there is a slight learning curve to insert, after 2 times, I had no trouble. It goes in, tucks up onto pubic bone nice and easy and secure and auto dumps a treat! No need for public toilet attempts to empty and reinsert. Will def be so much more convenient when travelling too. So so so glad I tried this product. Although I didn’t really feel a cup inside, I did experience VERY mild pressure. Don’t feel a thing with the disc. LOVE IT and HIGLY recommend it.

ssed with how comfortable it is, don’t even know it’s there. And especially how well it did while I was playing sports. No leaks at all! Quite a bit more messy than a cup on removal. I will definitely need to be in a bathroom that has toilet and sink in one room! But I’ll take that, for the comfort and leak proof-ness, and I didn’t really like the suction that was involved in cups

uickly forget it’s there, plus they hold more so only need emptying after about 12 hours. I bought the smaller size which is great for the start of my period when my cervix is smaller. It can be messy to empty so you do need to do this part over a toilet or in the shower – but that’s the only downside. I much prefer this disc over cups now and am so glad I risked trying something new – absolutely worth it.

le, easy to insert and remove. I did have a couple of leaks but I am sure this will improve the more I use it and get used to it.

u brand but they seemed to be constantly out of stock so I thought I’d try the TOM- big mistake! I could never get the cup to open up properly and it constantly leaked. The silicone was way too flexible, even for my not-super-strong pelvic floor muscles. The Hello high cervix cup is much firmer so opens easily, the bulb-style handle makes it much easier to twist if need be, and it’s narrower than the TOM so generally easier to insert. No leakage at all! It’s always hard to know if a cup is going to be right before you try it but I am SO glad I gave this one a go. It’s made my period way less stressful and easier to manage.
