Can I use a menstrual disc if I've never used a tampon, or inserted anything?Updated a year ago
Saalt Menstrual Discs are a great period care solution for anyone with a period! Yes, you can still use a disc even if you’ve never used a tampon or put anything in your vagina before. Many people who don’t like or haven’t used tampons use our discs and love them. We encourage you to take your time, go slowly, and listen to your body as you learn to insert your disc. Mastering a menstrual disc comes with the opportunity to fully understand your internal anatomy as well as your external anatomy. Getting to know your cervix height is a great way to get started as the disc will need to completely surround your cervix to work effectively.
For some people, anatomical differences like the size or shape of the hymen or a smaller vaginal canal may mean that a longer time practicing and learning will be needed before disc use will come easily. We are here to help! Our Saalt Cup Academy on Facebook is a safe and supportive place to ask questions and get help to make the transition to disc use a great one!
