Okay, no joke, that hole-in-crotch leggins shot was actually super helpful. It's always a mystery how some people describe the experience, and the first person view really helped!
@@mayravillegas6709 I actually remove it faster when I’m not filming with the same no-mess result 🙌 Without a suction to break I can “let it rip” and it’s totally fine!
I really love how you showed your real blood while also keeping your privacy in mind. It really helps demonstrate how mess free it is and bonus points for removing stigma around period blood! Thank you so much for your videos, I'm trying a menstrual disc for the first time as I type this because of your videos!
I had a lot of trauma around my periods and the Hello Disc makes me want to try and combat that trauma. I’ve just ordered one today and I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you!
It's the worst product I tried. I'm a petite, 5'2" woman & this product is the size of my palm. It's HUGE. I prefer using LUMMA disc. This product is made for much larger vaginas.
I bought it! Thank you so much for helping with this. Since I tried a disc, I literally CAN'T go back to anything else, I LOVE IT SO MUCH I have PCOS, very painful and heavy periods. I would be too scared to go outside in the past, but since I started using the disc, I found I don't have much/any anxiety, I can't feel it, I can't smell it, I can't see it. I adore you for making this happen. Forever grateful. I feel sorry for women in the past without this 😭
Oh my gosh. I’ve been using a saalt cup for a while, and I’ve loved having a reusable period product. So worth it. But I have always struggled with removal because of the suction, and have often had leaks. When I say the hello disc had been such an AMAZING product, I cannot stress enough how easy to use and stress free it is. The tab to pull it out, the insertion, the fact that it is LEAK FREE… I will recommend this to anyone and everyone. Amazing.
Kim... I cannot express how amazing this disc has been for me. It is perfect. I've never found a product that didn't leak in my test run week before this one. Its so easy to get in, literally free of any error. The flipped tab is awesome and makes it so easy to take it out. I've tried so many products and this really is the perfect one
I haven’t used it on a period yet but I’ve dry run it twice now (second time to test 🍆 functionality) and I can already say I love it way more than the diva cup I had before. The diva cup pressed on my bladder, and with my high cervix was difficult to remove. I’m one of those people who’s a little squeamish about digging around up there, and that with being able to feel it the whole time made me dread using it. I couldn’t feel the hello disc at all (neither could my partner) and I could take it in and out all day, no digging necessary! I’ve already got one friend to order one, and I’m working on some others. Thank you for making this! ❤️
This is LIFE-CHANGING!! So easy to use, so comfortable. I hated cups, but this ... is fabulous! No suction, no digging, no worries. Thank you for creating this. So grateful.
Can I just say, as someone with grip issues I’ve never been able to use other reusable period products. I couldn’t get a cup out once and had to have my husband help me and I have yet to try another product since. I just got my hello cup and THNK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating a product with people in mind who have issues with their hands! It made me tear up when you mentioned that. Can’t wait to see how this works next week when AF comes!
I’m more a silent subscriber but I really wanted to express how much Period Nirvana has aided in my success! I start using reusable menstrual products in June of ‘21 ranging - and I also vowed to not buy another tampon - from undies to the cup to an disc. I quickly discovered I have a high cervix, which makes the reach a bit hard with a disc but I manage! I’ve tried the Lumma High and the Nixit, but by golly the Hello disc is fab-tab-ulous! See what I did there! Thank you so much for the efforts and I imagine countless hours of research you’ve put in, Kim! Very happy consumer!
This last cycle I had was the first time I’ve ever reached for a disc instead of a cup because of how well designed this one is. I honestly think this may be my new favorite period product ever. It’s taken me a little bit to learn how to use it properly, and I’m not a fan of auto-dumping, but it’s so easy to remove, it truly is mess-free when you get the hang of it, and I don’t think I’ve have a single leak in the 4 cycles I’ve tried it (which is big for me because I can fill a 30 mL cup in about 7 hours)
Kim… I ordered this from South Korea last month and I tried Hello disc for 1 cycle. I literately screamed when I saw your video is up cuz I’ve been waiting for your final review so that I can comment with lots of love! Your disc has changed my mindset of period and I feel like the quality of my period has been elevated to another level ❤ I’d been thinking the menstrual cups are convenient enough but oh this was a completely different experience. I am happy that I am free from the bladder pressure & sealing problem that menstrual cups used to have!
Im also a silent subscriber but I have to say this is the greatest period disc, gadget, tool, etc EVER! I have tried it all & I have a high cervix and use this by squatting down and aiming it toward my butt then I tuck it up just as you said. How easy and leak proof this is really made me immensely happy. I was actually happy to be on my period! I can do hot yoga and sleep without any worries. Incredible product and the hoop helps me a lot since I have medium/long nails 💅 🎉 zero complaints. No more tampons or pads or cups! WHEW 💕 thank youuuuuu
I just bought a hello disc this cycle. I've been using a cup that always leaked and seemed to dislodge when sitting down or moving. I just want to say how incredible this disc has been! It has not leaked once, even in weird positions. It's sooo easy to put in and get out. I love it so much!
Hi Kim. I received my Hello Disc last week and got my period today. I am a first time user, so insertion was a little bit hard, but now I will put in practice those tips u gave about insertion. I think i tucked it , and put it correctly. Its kinda hard to tell, until I start leaking I guess. I have been using cups for about four months and I always leak a little bit. I’m really hoping that I don’t leak with the disc. It feels very comfortable, I’m glad that I don’t have to stick my fingers and push my vaginal walls. But I want to thank you for your input in this product and keeping all of us in mind. Great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊
@@Aleutica yes, it took me 3 cycles to figure it out. My problem was that I wasn’t inserting down towards my tailbone. If you don’t aim towards your tailbone, your disc wont tuck properly and it will end up sliding down and leaking. So aim down toward ur butt, and then tuck up. Now I never leak, and I have it on for 12hrs, no problems at all. Hope this helps😉
Hands down the best menstrual disc I’ve ever used. Inserting is super smooth, the ring is such an amazing innovation, I used to have hard time removing menstrual disc but with the ring it’s sooooo easy! Absolutely love love love the disc
I'm using mine right now and it's been great ❤❤ really turned periods from something I dreaded to something I almost look forward to. I never thought I'd be someone who used reusable period products but this one made it so easy. thank you for making it!
Seriously this was amazingly helpful! I have always wanted to try a menstrual disc but I thought I wouldn't know how and I would put it in wrong or it would somehow get stuck inside me! No one ever talks about periods so plainly and demonstrates so well. Now I feel like I can try this without fear. Thank you!
My last period was my first cycle with a disc (the Cora) and I was so excited… it didn’t disappoint, it was a magical experience. The first 2 days I did feel a little uneasy, I think because I might need something with a bit higher capacity. It was a little harder to reach, but I managed, and I was stoked. I ordered the Hello disc today because I think it will be a life changer, to my already life changing discovery of discs. Not having to worry about suction! It’s amazing! For whatever reason my flex cup stopped working, I swore “never again”. And I’m so glad. Thank you for your videos. You make me excited to get my period 😁
Just want to say that I got the hello disc thanks to this video and I love it. As someone with joint issues that made basically any other insertable option difficult, it is a real game changer. My only complaint is the pretty awful staining and that urinating feels ... odd, like the flow is being restricted. I have never once had it leak, and being able to push the contents out in a pinch while keeping the disc in...the convenience is unreal. Thank you so much for your efforts in creating this product.
Just started my first period with the Hello Disk and i’m so excited! So far it feels so seamless, comfortable, and easy to use. Thank you for all the work you do, I may have never found out about reusable period options if you hadn’t uploaded the videos you do. Discovering reusable products have honestly changed my life.
Okay for 1. You’re adorable and I love watching your videos. And your glasses are always super cute! And 2. I’ve watched almost every single one just this past week and I’m so glad I found your channel! Been considering cups or discs for about 2 years now and your videos have helped me decide to go for it! I have decided a disc is for me and I’m waiting for hello disc but may get the Cora to start! And I’m so thankful my HSA will cover it! That’s reassuring considering it’s a health product! A big THANK YOU to you Kim! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re helping women everywhere!
Thank you for designing this! It helps with being a bigger person. Plus I have carpal tunnel. This also gives me a better piece of mind with my IUD more than other discs. It’s so nice to not have blood spill out all over my hand.
First of all, THANK YOU! I bought this on pre-order and tried it for the first time two weeks ago. Since switching to reusable menstrual products, this was the FIRST leak free period I've had (even on my heavy days). It's also the first leak free period I've had ever (as tampons always leak on my heavy days after 2 hrs). I will also testify that it is idiot proof, as I've inserted it inside out twice (with the tab on the inside)! I'm still not sure how that happened🙈! It did not leak on these occassions and it was relatively easy to remove as I have a low cervix. I will say however, that when emptying in a public bathroom, I had to tug from behind as I can't seem to get it out without it emptying into my palm in the way demonstrated in the video. Tugging from behind allows me to empty the disc without pulling it out all the way. Once emptied, I tuck it back in virtually mess free. Great job Kim! I'm incredibly grateful to you for finally reaching my period nirvana!💗
Omg I'm so proud of you!! This was such an amazing accomplishment! Thank you for doing this, it has got me very interested in trying a menstrual disc. I've been thinking about it so much I even had a dream about buying a hello disc 🤣
I’ve been on the fence about discs for a while. I’ve been trying cups since 2016 and I just can’t seem to consistently get the hang of them. I still use it because I hate tampons and pads…. But this video convinced me to try discs. It seems so intimidating but everyone keeps saying they are actually easier than cups. I’m excited to try this one!
This was the literally the most amazing experience with my period! I used the saalt cups before and it was always still somehow not feeling secure. My friend recommended the hello disk and oh my goodness it has been life changing! So easy to insert and remove and to clean!! Just incredible, I have a high cervix and the first two times were mess free! The tab made it so so easy to remove! Also no leaks AT ALL! I went on a small road trip my first day using it and I didn’t have to worry about it at all and I could wear overalls!! Love this and bringing it everywhere with me.
Currently at the end of my first cycle with the hello disc. Even though it was rather expensive since being in Europe and getting it from New Zealand so shipping + costumes duty fees, I don't care because it was so worth it ❤️ I only had ever used cups and at a point I stopped using them because the suction would be painful while on cramps and/or the stem would start poking me. I am now fully converted to discs and can't stop annoying people about how awesome it is. I'm obsessed THANK YOU KIM!
I've been using mine for the first time this week and I'm in Love!!!! I'm so happy it's perfect for my heavy period and just in general. I started with a cup but this is perfect because it holds double and is literally perfect. Had to empty the cup more often but not my Disc. I didn't think it could be so easy to use but it is. I've become a blabber mouth telling anyone who'll listen. I thought cups were life changing but this is truly amazing I'll never use anything else!!! Thank you so much for creating this product. It's a 100/10 from me. Everyone with a menstrual cycle should definitely buy and try at least once. This freedom is truly amazing. I can lay, wear, sleep, sit, stretch, sneeze, cough, bend, dance, jump, kick, swim, ect. anyway I want now, with no limitations whatsoever. I never knew just how trapped I was in all my 9 years of having a period since I was 14. I feel unstoppable, and yes I am still a virgin and that made no difference. Freedom!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been researching and watching reviews for of using different cups for 3 hours, you have inspired me to try this disk. I wanted to in the past but I was scared of not being able to get it😭😭I’m also an athlete so sometimes I can’t always just go change my pad. I have also been watching a lot of your videos and I’m so happy about how detailed and informative your videos are THANKYOU!!!!💙💜💚 Also can you swim in these with confidence?
It’s time I get over my fear, and I’m gonna try this disk!! I hate my period so much. So maybe this will make things better for me. Thank you so much Kim!
I love this disc!! It’s absolutely the perfect fit for me to the point it doesn’t even auto dump!! I’m not so sad about that though and I feel so secure with it. I’ve used cups for almost a year and started to have leaking issues that I just couldn’t solve. I’ve had a learning curve with inserting compared to the firmer disposable discs. It flipped upside down while inserting a couple times which is kinda funny and I don’t know I managed that, but I’ve got it figured it out now and it’s perfect for me in every way!!
*Read if you’re on the fence about trying hello disc!* I have been using the hello disc since it has come out. I have tried so many menstrual cups and discs and this is the BEST. I love the pull tab, easy insertion and removal, very comfortable, auto dump feature and most importantly does not leak!!! I’ve always had problems with every single period product (very heavy flow) but I never have to worry about that again! If you still worry I use the salt period undies on heaviest days but honestly don’t need it! You need to try!
I've been a long time soft disc user. I use one per cycle just washing throughout and tossing at the end. I've wanted to switch to reusable for awhile however as you can assume a box of 14 lasts me forever. I was excited to see I only have one left from the last box I bought back in December of 2021 (my cycle is long at 47 days extending things even more) I watched so many of your videos today trying to learn as much as I could before buying. I am happy to say I am trying this product! I got it in your exclusive color Galapagos! ❤
@@gliorchisonocomelecipolle single use is what the manufacturers and such recommend. I'm in no way saying you should do something against the label. That being said after a year of tossing them I decided that I could significantly reduce the plastic waste by washing them. I have since done that without any complications for years. I also only need the disc for 2-3 days as my periods are extremely short so I'm not wearing it for 5 or more days I do feel like that is a factor to take into consideration. I would personally just suggest you purchase a reusable disc if you want to reuse it.
Yes girl I am so excited for you and the hello disc! I have never used a disc before but I have my first Hello Disc ordered and I cant wait to use it. Your channel really helped me get comfortable with reusable period products and I am never going back!!
I’ve always had traumatic experiences with insertion style period products like menstrual cups and tampons. Tampons because the dry cotton is very painful for me (sensory issues) and cups because of the suction, also sensory related. I tried nixit last night and for the first time ever with insertion-style menstrual products, I didn’t have a single panic attack while either inserting or removing it. I’m definitely going to try this one though, for the less mess. It doesn’t bother me but it would be nice for public toilets if need be. Thank you for all these reviews!
After watching many videos about discs, I decided to try the hello disc. My cup was making my cramps worse and my flow is heavier now. I’m on my second period with the hello disc. I am in love with it. Cramps aren’t worsened, it’s so easy to insert, I can wear it for 12 hrs, it hasn’t leaked yet, and the pull tab is awesome (I cut it in half). Thank you so much for making this product ❤
I’m super excited to receive mine! I love discs and I think the tab on this one will help me with my only “issue” with disks which is messy removal. Also…I love your videos!! They are so helpful! I love all the angles, the REAL footage and opinions, it’s all so super helpful. If I ever had daughters, we would watch them together. Seriously wish you were around when I had “the talk” at school 😆 congrats on the product! Can’t wait to try it and thank you for all the info!
I’ve always been too scared to try discs. However, I work sleep studies now and have to watch the machines all night. Periods are a major nightmare. So much goes into working in labs and periods are NOT on the roster. I just tried this for the first time. I will be working for the next 12 hours and feel totally comfortable. Thank you for creating this. It’s one less thing to stress over.
I've been using menstrual cups for 8-10 years and although I love them, I have such a heavy flow that they can really leak at night and during the first couple of days. I also hate using them at work or in a public bathroom where a sink isn't nearby. Bloody fingers, yuck! But I just got a Hello disc yesterday and my period started this morning. So far all I know is that my cervix is really high up there, haha. Hopefully it works well. I really appreciate your frankness and the fact that you show period blood. And cutting your leggings? Genius! So many of us women need help and to be able to learn from each other. I was just showing this video to my teenage daughter and it really opened up the conversation like never before. So thank you! You're doing really important work and please ignore anyone who suggests that you aren't! A couple of years ago a friend and I started a local chapter here in Texas of the charity Days for Girls---it ends period inequality in developing nations---because periods and period stigma are such a big part of the lives of so many people on this planet! Period education is so needed! Thank you!!!

I bought this product without really doing much prior research, but I had been curious about trying reusable period products. I came across your channel to get an idea of how to use menstural discs and this video actually made me excited to try it out!
Thank you. Just thank you. Been a cup user for about 3 years now and I’m an idiot and went crazy, well let my nail tech go crazy because I hadn’t had my nails done in a while. I like them longer but this particular set is like double the length I usually get. Had no problem getting the cup in, but getting it out, I tried everything and couldn’t get it. I can’t do pads in the summer so I picked up some disposable discs and I’m really enjoying them. I really appreciate how candid you are and how real you are. I needed some help making sure I knew what I was doing and you definitely helped me so much! Excited to give a reusable a try! The only thing I don’t like about cups and discs is that I didn’t know they existed until I was 25. They are truly life changing.
Thank you so much for Period Nirvana! Since I came across this channel its been sooo helpful. Your videos would be great for young girls learning how to navigate their periods! ❤
Somehow your Chanel popped up on my feed I’ve watched every short you have and just bought my hello disc today and I’m so excited to try it next cycle I just purchased the soft disc disposables and fell in love with discs thank you so much for all your info on period products discs are a game changer I never knew they existed till now ❤️
Thank you for doing these videos! They are so helpful and they take away concerns and insecurities. It's so refreshing to have someone being "Period is normal" which it totally is! And you're using inclusive language which is a huge pro for me. You are the reason I'm an currently trying my first menstrual cup, but I'm thinking about switching to the Hello Disc. Thank you so so much!
I tried it dry run and then for 1 period. I have a low cervix. I give it a 4.5 out 5 stars. I practiced insertation/removal 2 days before my period. Insertation for all tab types was 'difficult' at first but practice makes perfect. I believe the area where the tab is attached is a little thicker, therefore made it harder to squeeze. But only temporarily. Flipped was the easiest to remove. Tucked was hard for me to get ahold of the tab. Due to having a low cervix, I didn't attempt the dropped tab. I believe flipped or tucked might be my way for future cycles. The material of the hello disc is amazing. So smooth and not tacky. To have inside smooth and outside matte was a good idea. Now removal is where I knock off 0.5 star. The claim of it being mess free removal is what drew me to this disc. I've used ones without removal device and I have used the Lumma that used strings. The claim where it is "mess-free" wasn't my case. When I pulled the tab, the blood would shoot out. And then it got over my fingers and hand. And this happened on heavy days and medium flow days.
Couldn't agree more. It's less messy than other cups and discs I've tried but it's no where near mess-free enough for me to feel comfortable managing it in a public restroom.
First day using this Hello Disc. It did take two hands to keep it folded, and I fumbled with it a bit at first (shot itself up and out of my hands onto the floor, so I had to boil it again 😂) But the second try, as soon as it was mostly in, *SLORP* it just popped up into place without even tucking 😳 I was SO surprised!! And I've almost been paranoid that I somehow did something wrong, because discs in the past have been a struggle to keep them in place 😂 But this is the one the quiz gave me, and damn it was so right!! Thank you for working with production to make it 🥰
I have been an avid advocate for menstrual cups to anybody who would listen, but as somebody with a high cervix removal was always a problem for me, as it would involve a minimum of five minutes of pinching and rummaging around to try and get the cup out. Additionally, as my period is quite heavy, I would rarely be able to go the full 12 hours before needing to empty the cup or risk a leak. That’s why I decided to check out what menstrual discs were all about. At first I was very apprehensive because they seem so much larger than cups and I really didn’t like the idea of the two rings hanging out, but I figured I could always trim them if they were getting in the way. Anyways, I took the test and I bought the Hello disc after your recommendation and well, colour me impressed, because it slides right in, collects more blood than the cup, and oh my God never has the removal been so easy. No pushing, no pinching, no bearing down to grab the stem of the cup, I literally just tug on the ring and the whole thing slides out without any pain or discomfort. Also, the rings actually sit quite nicely tucked in along the cup, and, needless to say, but with my high cervix, not only did I not need to cut them, but I almost always use the outer ring only as that’s the most comfortable one to reach. I really appreciate the easier removal and the larger volume that the disc is able to hold and also the softer silicone just feels like it moulds to my anatomy so much more gently. All in all, this was an excellent recommendation! I hadn’t realised how much my body language changes when I’m on my period because I’m always worried about a leak, which has happened through pads, through tampons, through period underwear, through cups, and sometimes even combinations of the above. If the disc manages to give me freedom from leaks, it would truly revolutionise my life. Thank you for designing this! ❤
WOW I'd been thinking of trying a cup. I only have use of one of my hands so bathroom trips take a lot longer when trying to change tampons/pads but just watching the reviews made me question how I'll put the cup in. I was led to your video on causes of pain with the cup and that's when I said absolutely no way will I try a cup. I cry just getting a pap smear due to trauma even though I've already delivered a child. Just the thought of pain from the cup scared me. I took your quiz and it recommended this since I have an IUD and you have me SOLD from this video! Finally something I can use with an IUD that won't be painful that I can use with one hand. Thank you!!!
Wow!!! I ordered one of these for myself earlier today. I have a high cervix and hated removing my cup. It being messy wasn’t too bad… But it was slippery and hard to break the suction. Can’t wait for my disk! Just got to the… Adult activities part of this video. YES!!!! This is going to be game changer for my husband and I! Yay!
I love menestral cups because of comfort but the suction is a nightmare force on days where my cervix is sitting a bit high. I’ll find myself sitting for over an hour just thinking about how little I want to reach in there and struggle to break that seal 😭 I’ve been trialing disposable disks this cycle and the experience has really got me strongly considering a reusable version. This has been the most comfortable period I’ve had since the first period I used a cup and I haven’t had to fight my own insides ONCE. This review is super comprehensive and honestly answers all my questions. This is without a doubt my next step
Thank you for the birds eye view of the removal!!!! I'm buying one from the shop now! I just bought the flex reusable disk for my last cycle and I like it, it's easy to use and comfortable but it's extremely messy. Like the blood shoots out like a water gun during removal. Thank you for the video!
Kim, you are amazing and do great work! I am so grateful for your channel and all your hard work-with this disc, here, IG, your site and quiz, all of it. This disc is great! Mine arrived the day before my period, and I think the anticipation was warranted. For me, it functions exactly as described, and removal is a breeze. (Insertion didn’t seem quite as easy as the Cora, which had been my go to, but the difference isn’t huge, and the ease of removal pushes the Hello disc ahead, for sure!) I have a new favorite! Thank you again!
Yes! I love this! I would totally agree that insertion might be less easy compared to a few other reusable discs (but easier than some as well, so kind of in the middle) but the other benefits make that a non-issue for me as well. I think every product is going to have tradeoffs in one way or another. The thing that makes it easier to remove and comfortable (shape, rim, tab) can make insertion slightly harder for some. It's all about which thing you value most!
Hey Kim I just ordered my 1st menstrual disc. I’m glad you came up with the hello disc. I feel like you listened to the peoples complaints and came up with this amazing idea! It was including the ring for me. Thank you so much! Unfortunately my cycle came on, so I’ll be trying the disc for the very first time the end of the month. Will update soon.
How did it go? I've never tried any type of cup or disc but I'm super interested in trying the Hello Disc. I'm just nervous to try discs and cups in general. 😫
@@Harlow_Khmer It went well. Hello disc did what it was suppose to do which was secured behind the tailbone with no leakes on a relatively low-medium flow day. But, I would recommend a disc with a higher capacity on the heaviest day. I’ve tried other disc that I do prefer over the hello disc based off my female anatomy diagram and the amount of blood I lose per cycle. Self diagnosed, I do have menorrhagia (heavy bleeding) with history of blood transfusions. My go to are: Ziggy B (76 ml capacity w diameter 73) and Lumma high (60 ml capacity w diameter 68). The Ziggy and Lumma discs are a lot firmer and can hold more than the hello disc. I like lumma more over the Ziggy due to the string, easy pull/ control over the toilet with no mess, whereas with the Ziggy or any disc without a pull string or loop would be a lot messier. I would recommend those without a string or loop do in the shower.
@@jussnaturallyphine thanks so much for taking the time to respond back to me! I've been trying to find out as much info on cups and discs and asks what it's been like for everyone so hopefully I can make a decision on which to buy. My period will be here around the 20th of this month so I better hurry and find something haha. The hello disc is sold out on the website otherwise I would have just thought that one because of the pull-tab it gives me security knowing that the dish won't get too far up in me and lost because I keep reading common where women had to go to the hospital to get it removed and not even their husband and boyfriend couldn't reach it and that the doctor had to use forceps so that freaks me out 😂
@@Harlow_Khmer your welcome. Im glad I was able to help. But I’ve heard a few stories about the cup. I, myself have the Merula XL cup. That’s the best larger capacity,firmer, with a ring to pull. Merula fits me better, but I will say cups do have a tendency to rise up in the canal and sometimes flip which can be annoying. Also, I’ve noticed with cups they do suction so you will experience some cramping after trials of learning. C-fold was the insert I used to put the cup in, so embrace yourself whichever fold that you use because it will pop open. Sometimes when its pops open that’s how I know the cup is fully open but I still check around the base with my finger. Cup vs disc; the cup you have to run your finger just to make sure there’s no dents whereas disc you dont. Disc to me is like plugging your Vijay jay it doesn’t rise up and the only way blood will flow out is if you unplug it. With the cup if its full/overflow it’ll leak on the side of your Vijay jay walls. More, I feel with cups i have to change quite frequently, say about every 5hrs but with a disc 7-10 hr wear. Discs for me is way better I can swim do my daily routine;very busy day and I don’t have to worry about leakage. Not saying disc dont leak but they do autodump when its full; more or less when you use the bathroom, but it’ll go back in its place (behind tailbone)for me at least.Just keep in mind cups are not messier than discs! And, SAVES YOU MONEY!!!You should be find. Hope you find your Goldilocks!
I love my Hello disc!! Everything is just amazing. It was totally worth the wait! I’d say I finally found my goldilocks but I want to try it on my actual heavy days just to be sure. But so far, it’s the best for me ! ^^
I am so thankful for the Hello Disc! Thank you for all your efforts in making this amazing product a reality and all of these super helpful videos!! ❤❤❤
I feel so proud of you and I have just been watching your videos the last few days. I impulse bought the Saalt Disc at Target. and then started to look up videos. I originally knew about discs from a couple youtubers mentioning that they like the flex disposable disc. I have wanted another period option other than the pads I have worn since I first got my period. Period underwear and overflowed for me. And the cup sounded cool but i didn't like the idea of something pressing on my vaginal canal. As well it seems a little complicated to know which ones would be best for the body. I had seen that flex had a reusable disc and was intrigued and scared. When I saw saalt had a finger notch I felt better. I will see how it goes and how it fits. But the loops, less mess removal and easy clean interior make me intrigued to try the Hello Disc. Thanks for all the helpful information and education in my journey into reusable period products. You are amazing!
I appreciate the removal parts. I wanted confirmation I was inserting wrong lol (I am doing it wrong). I am new to discs because my cup needs replacement - the tail I noticed had a tiny tear in it and that makes me worried. I am currently an unpaid caretaker for relatives and unemployed so I def bought a generic disc. I feel like there are no completely ethical purchases (period products, clothing, electronics, etc.). Not justifying the poor/inhumane treatment of people or stealing ip. Thank you for addressing xenophobia in that post btw. Thank you for testing and showing removal. I’m really grateful for your videos and blog posts on your site. I feel like this video is super helpful with the removal portions especially nails and slightly inebriated. Thank you for providing these videos. I hope the platforms value the education you provide, and/or people stop reporting/flagging. Glad to know there are now two accounts I can go for period related content/education.
I was so excited to try it and then bam I'm pregnant the cycle after it was delivered 😅 I can't wait to try it next year!! Lol, congratulations on such a wonderful product
I’m so excited to receive the Hello Disc! I have been struggling with pads for the longest time and felt an upgraded was needed :) Thank you so much for sharing this video, you are a game-changer! ❤❤
I bit the bullet and made the investment! I used to wear diva cup 1 but past 6 months it has been leaking badly, painful and add more cramps I gave up with it and last few cycles I used pads again. Used your quiz and it matched me with hello disc. As I'm in Australia, I bought it directly from hello website this morning. Hopefully it will be great! Will give update!
I was so excited to stumble into this video! I paused at 1:51 to take the test. The test made me uncomfortable in many questions, because the selection of answers available did not satisfy what my answer would be. I am also not a fan of quizzes where I am asked to provide an email for the answer. I understand that it is a great marketing technique, but it turns me off. However, I am excited to learn more about period discs, as I have been a cup user for many years, and just assumed that they were 'good enough'. I have experienced some of the issues proposed in the quiz, and I will be on the lookout for a disc going forward. Thank you for putting your time towards helping those of us with uteruses gain knowledge, useful ideas, and new tools
Email is optional. It’s a very thorough quiz. I’d ask the same questions in person to guide someone. For people with far more experience who know exactly what they want they’ll have better luck using the comparison chart and doing their own research. It has 29 results but there are more cups and discs out there.
Thank you for the review! I backed the kickstarter and I was finally able to test it this week. Yay late cycles 😅🙄. The one thing that made it quite difficult for me, was that the first insertion was really hard. I was used to the Cora that has a firmer rim. The hello one was so soft that I almost couldn’t get it in, because it lost its form. I had to use two hands but i got it in. Wearing it was the most comfortable thing ever and removing it as well. My only gripe is insertion. EDIT: after first cycle I’m still torn. I don’t like that it’s so soft that I can’t place it correctly and I have to pinch it very hard to hold it’s form to be able to insert it. It also went sideways on me, which was bizzare. The pull tab I have yo tuck in and then let it reveal its self upon removal because otherwise is a bit uncomfortable. Lastly I worry that I can’t place it where it needs to be because the rim is not firm enough for my needs. I’ll try it again next cycle to see if I have better luck. On the plus side 0 leaks and once inside it’s quite comfortable.
I am so excited to try this! I just ordered 2! I have a cervix that can be one knuckle deep one day of my period, then unreachable the next which has been a problem for me finding a cup that works and is consistently comfortable I am also a curvy girl so manoeuvering my way around trying to get thing in the right places and back out again is frustratingly difficult at times , I am so impressed by the design of this disc, it just makes sense to me🥰🥳🍾🥂 Absolutely cannot wait to try it🌻🌈🌹
This is so helpful, thank you! I was distracted by how pretty you are lol. The accessories and lip ring. The nails, glasses and shirt matching your eyes. Your lip and hair color 😍 You look gorgeous 😊❤
So this is amazing!!! The firmness is all over, not just the rim and therefore it pops in the right place, and with autodumping, it also pops back. I have a Ziggy 2B and was surprised by that, but this one is way easier. Only question: why is there no pouch? I actually don't like to have something inside when I don't have my period yet and if there's a little blood, I don't need lubricant. So then I would be able to carry a clean disc. I now just pop it in the bag I got with the Ziggy.
Just ordered it! I've never used a disc but I recently discovered using pads and tampons are very very toxic. I saw so many people talking about how terrible their periods were while using tampons and even getting sick. I don't want that. I've tried the diva cup and didn't like it. So fingers crossed a disc will be the winner
I love these real life reviews. I hate the blue water and "labatorium" circumstances. Body's and periods don't work that way. Lets make it less "weird" to have periods. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for trying to remove and insert it with nails. I have always been hesitant to try discs because I always have long nails and even putting in tampons can sometimes be a little painful.
I use this disc and the flex reusable and love them both. Hello disc when I have time to insert it properly(more comfy), and I use the flex disc when I need a quick insertion since it is a bit firmer. My hello disc does not auto dump though so I usually just pull the flipped tab a little to dump and then push it back in place. Great product!
Your videos helped me find the right cup for me on the first try. I have loved it, but after I saw the disk option I was curious and researched a lot. When I saw this review it was what I was waiting for... A disk with a good way to take it out. Trying it now. Thanks so much for your videos!
Oh the nails! Finally, somebody answered my question about wearing those discs with long nails! Now that I know it is possible and without pain I will buy one!
Seriously, cannot recommend the Hello Disc enough! It is my favorite thing I own because of how well it works. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and buy it!!
Hey Kim!! Love watching all your videos ☺️ they are incredibly helpful. This Hello Disc literally looks like THE DREAM period product of all time. I'm a Canadian, any chance this will be available for Canadians to purchase in the future? Thanks in advance 😊
@@PeriodNirvana Ah that would be so lovely! Haha I could see that... Thanks for your response 💕 I had a Diva Cup for a few years and could never get it to work for me... I took your quiz and went with the recommended Saalt Soft in a Small and I think I found period Nirvana, finally 😍
Ordered a Hello disc bundle and an extra Hello pad today! Almost looking forward to my next period... not really lol But can't wait to try the disc and pads!
Hey Kim! I love your videos! I know the Hello Disc just came out 😅 but do you plan on coming out with a smaller size one day? Having two sizes would make this a Goldilocks for literally everyone haha
I don’t know for sure but it’s always been on the table based on how the One Size performed. The disc was so unique and the challenges to manufacture were extensive so we focused on the OS first.
@@PeriodNirvana Thanks so much for your response, Kim! That makes complete sense. If you do ever come out with a smaller size, I’ll be first in line to support and buy 🙋♀️
@@x_bncc9559 Hi Lisa! I did try it and it’s a bit too big for me. I have a lower cervix so the Saalt small disc is my all time favorite. If you have an average height and especially a high cervix, I think the Hello Disc would be great for you! If you have a low cervix, I would recommend a disc with a smaller diameter (I.e., Lumma small, Saalt small, Cora disc, etc.).
Can't wait to buy it in Germany. I hope I don't need to wait too long for it. Thank you so much for your 1st person-angle, this is really helpful. Let's normalize our period blood.
this is the first day of my period using the hello cup! this is actually my first menstrual disc. this morning the insertion was super easy (can’t compare to other discs since I haven’t tried others, but much easier than a cup) and I haven’t felt any leaks yet. I’ve used different cups for the past couple years and have had trouble with painful/annoying insertion and removal, and rarely could get the cups to fit right so always leaked on heavier days, but was always too afraid to try discs because of the removal process! but I hope that the tab will help with that when I try later today! super stoked about this product :)
I just ordered this and I’m very disappointed to find out it doesn’t come with the pouch. I contacted Hello Period as I thought it was just a mistake in my package. I was told that now it only comes with the limited edition Galapagos colour, not with Seafog or Black. They told me I need to purchase one separately from their website. Which i obviously don’t want to do because I don’t want to pay shipping just for a tiny bag. Not sure what to store it in now since I didn’t know to order a bag separately, I didn’t see that anywhere in the description. I don’t really want to pay for shipping just for a tiny bag. I must say, for something that needs to be stored 3 weeks out of every month and is a somewhat private product I’m really surprised it doesn’t come the bag included anymore. Kim, maybe you could add that in your description so people know they need to now order that separately if they want a bag.
Okay, no joke, that hole-in-crotch leggins shot was actually super helpful. It's always a mystery how some people describe the experience, and the first person view really helped!
I literally rewatched that part like 5x and even slowed it down 🙈 lol i just couldnt believe how quick and easy it was like what 🤯
@@mayravillegas6709 I actually remove it faster when I’m not filming with the same no-mess result 🙌 Without a suction to break I can “let it rip” and it’s totally fine!
Agreed!
Yessss thank you so much for that part, just order it cant wait to try it
@@PeriodNirvana any idea if it’s available in UK? I can’t find that make anywhere
I really love how you showed your real blood while also keeping your privacy in mind. It really helps demonstrate how mess free it is and bonus points for removing stigma around period blood! Thank you so much for your videos, I'm trying a menstrual disc for the first time as I type this because of your videos!
Me too!
I had a lot of trauma around my periods and the Hello Disc makes me want to try and combat that trauma. I’ve just ordered one today and I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you!
I do hope this experience is a more positive one for you. Remember to take a deep breath before insertion to help relax your mind and muscles.
How did it go?
It's the worst product I tried. I'm a petite, 5'2" woman & this product is the size of my palm. It's HUGE. I prefer using LUMMA disc. This product is made for much larger vaginas.
I bought it! Thank you so much for helping with this. Since I tried a disc, I literally CAN'T go back to anything else, I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I have PCOS, very painful and heavy periods. I would be too scared to go outside in the past, but since I started using the disc, I found I don't have much/any anxiety, I can't feel it, I can't smell it, I can't see it.
I adore you for making this happen. Forever grateful. I feel sorry for women in the past without this 😭
Oh my gosh. I’ve been using a saalt cup for a while, and I’ve loved having a reusable period product. So worth it. But I have always struggled with removal because of the suction, and have often had leaks. When I say the hello disc had been such an AMAZING product, I cannot stress enough how easy to use and stress free it is. The tab to pull it out, the insertion, the fact that it is LEAK FREE… I will recommend this to anyone and everyone. Amazing.
Same with my saalt i often get leaks 😢
Only tried a cup so far but very tempted w this disc. How do you know how far you have to push the front once inserted? Thx😊
Kim... I cannot express how amazing this disc has been for me. It is perfect. I've never found a product that didn't leak in my test run week before this one. Its so easy to get in, literally free of any error. The flipped tab is awesome and makes it so easy to take it out. I've tried so many products and this really is the perfect one
I haven’t used it on a period yet but I’ve dry run it twice now (second time to test 🍆 functionality) and I can already say I love it way more than the diva cup I had before. The diva cup pressed on my bladder, and with my high cervix was difficult to remove. I’m one of those people who’s a little squeamish about digging around up there, and that with being able to feel it the whole time made me dread using it. I couldn’t feel the hello disc at all (neither could my partner) and I could take it in and out all day, no digging necessary! I’ve already got one friend to order one, and I’m working on some others. Thank you for making this! ❤️
Thx, I can relate, getting my disc soon🙏🤗
This is LIFE-CHANGING!! So easy to use, so comfortable. I hated cups, but this ... is fabulous! No suction, no digging, no worries. Thank you for creating this. So grateful.
And NO LEAKS! 💗
The digging w the cup is what makes me want to try the disc ☺
Can I just say, as someone with grip issues I’ve never been able to use other reusable period products. I couldn’t get a cup out once and had to have my husband help me and I have yet to try another product since. I just got my hello cup and THNK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating a product with people in mind who have issues with their hands! It made me tear up when you mentioned that. Can’t wait to see how this works next week when AF comes!
I’m more a silent subscriber but I really wanted to express how much Period Nirvana has aided in my success! I start using reusable menstrual products in June of ‘21 ranging - and I also vowed to not buy another tampon - from undies to the cup to an disc. I quickly discovered I have a high cervix, which makes the reach a bit hard with a disc but I manage! I’ve tried the Lumma High and the Nixit, but by golly the Hello disc is fab-tab-ulous! See what I did there! Thank you so much for the efforts and I imagine countless hours of research you’ve put in, Kim! Very happy consumer!
Thank you 🥰 I’m the same way about commenting so it means a lot that you did!
This last cycle I had was the first time I’ve ever reached for a disc instead of a cup because of how well designed this one is. I honestly think this may be my new favorite period product ever. It’s taken me a little bit to learn how to use it properly, and I’m not a fan of auto-dumping, but it’s so easy to remove, it truly is mess-free when you get the hang of it, and I don’t think I’ve have a single leak in the 4 cycles I’ve tried it (which is big for me because I can fill a 30 mL cup in about 7 hours)
Kim… I ordered this from South Korea last month and I tried Hello disc for 1 cycle. I literately screamed when I saw your video is up cuz I’ve been waiting for your final review so that I can comment with lots of love! Your disc has changed my mindset of period and I feel like the quality of my period has been elevated to another level ❤
I’d been thinking the menstrual cups are convenient enough but oh this was a completely different experience. I am happy that I am free from the bladder pressure & sealing problem that menstrual cups used to have!
시간이많이지났지만.. 안새나요..?ㅠㅠ 그리고 팬티라이너는 꼭 차야할까요?
@@hyunseokim3366 아직도 쓰고있어요 ㅋㅋ 안 샙니다 라이너도 잘 안써요 ㅋㅋ
Im also a silent subscriber but I have to say this is the greatest period disc, gadget, tool, etc EVER! I have tried it all & I have a high cervix and use this by squatting down and aiming it toward my butt then I tuck it up just as you said.
How easy and leak proof this is really made me immensely happy. I was actually happy to be on my period! I can do hot yoga and sleep without any worries. Incredible product and the hoop helps me a lot since I have medium/long nails 💅 🎉 zero complaints. No more tampons or pads or cups! WHEW 💕 thank youuuuuu
I just bought a hello disc this cycle. I've been using a cup that always leaked and seemed to dislodge when sitting down or moving.
I just want to say how incredible this disc has been! It has not leaked once, even in weird positions. It's sooo easy to put in and get out. I love it so much!
Hi Kim. I received my Hello Disc last week and got my period today. I am a first time user, so insertion was a little bit hard, but now I will put in practice those tips u gave about insertion. I think i tucked it , and put it correctly. Its kinda hard to tell, until I start leaking I guess. I have been using cups for about four months and I always leak a little bit. I’m really hoping that I don’t leak with the disc. It feels very comfortable, I’m glad that I don’t have to stick my fingers and push my vaginal walls. But I want to thank you for your input in this product and keeping all of us in mind. Great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊
did you end up having any issues with leaks or autodumping? i just ordered mine and that's what i'm most worried about
@@Aleutica yes, it took me 3 cycles to figure it out. My problem was that I wasn’t inserting down towards my tailbone. If you don’t aim towards your tailbone, your disc wont tuck properly and it will end up sliding down and leaking. So aim down toward ur butt, and then tuck up. Now I never leak, and I have it on for 12hrs, no problems at all. Hope this helps😉
@@luzgutierrez7104 oh good to hear, thanks for the tip!! i'll keep that in mind when mine comes 😊😊
Hands down the best menstrual disc I’ve ever used. Inserting is super smooth, the ring is such an amazing innovation, I used to have hard time removing menstrual disc but with the ring it’s sooooo easy! Absolutely love love love the disc
I'm using mine right now and it's been great ❤❤ really turned periods from something I dreaded to something I almost look forward to. I never thought I'd be someone who used reusable period products but this one made it so easy. thank you for making it!
I really appreciate the bird view angle! It truly was exactly what I needed to fully believe that it’s mess free!
Seriously this was amazingly helpful! I have always wanted to try a menstrual disc but I thought I wouldn't know how and I would put it in wrong or it would somehow get stuck inside me! No one ever talks about periods so plainly and demonstrates so well. Now I feel like I can try this without fear. Thank you!
Girl, THANK YOU for this. You have absolutely taken one for the team. ❤️
My last period was my first cycle with a disc (the Cora) and I was so excited… it didn’t disappoint, it was a magical experience. The first 2 days I did feel a little uneasy, I think because I might need something with a bit higher capacity. It was a little harder to reach, but I managed, and I was stoked. I ordered the Hello disc today because I think it will be a life changer, to my already life changing discovery of discs.
Not having to worry about suction! It’s amazing! For whatever reason my flex cup stopped working, I swore “never again”. And I’m so glad. Thank you for your videos. You make me excited to get my period 😁
Just want to say that I got the hello disc thanks to this video and I love it. As someone with joint issues that made basically any other insertable option difficult, it is a real game changer. My only complaint is the pretty awful staining and that urinating feels ... odd, like the flow is being restricted. I have never once had it leak, and being able to push the contents out in a pinch while keeping the disc in...the convenience is unreal. Thank you so much for your efforts in creating this product.
Just started my first period with the Hello Disk and i’m so excited! So far it feels so seamless, comfortable, and easy to use. Thank you for all the work you do, I may have never found out about reusable period options if you hadn’t uploaded the videos you do. Discovering reusable products have honestly changed my life.
Okay for 1. You’re adorable and I love watching your videos. And your glasses are always super cute!
And 2. I’ve watched almost every single one just this past week and I’m so glad I found your channel! Been considering cups or discs for about 2 years now and your videos have helped me decide to go for it!
I have decided a disc is for me and I’m waiting for hello disc but may get the Cora to start! And I’m so thankful my HSA will cover it! That’s reassuring considering it’s a health product!
A big THANK YOU to you Kim! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re helping women everywhere!
Thank you for designing this! It helps with being a bigger person. Plus I have carpal tunnel. This also gives me a better piece of mind with my IUD more than other discs. It’s so nice to not have blood spill out all over my hand.
😮
First of all, THANK YOU! I bought this on pre-order and tried it for the first time two weeks ago.
Since switching to reusable menstrual products, this was the FIRST leak free period I've had (even on my heavy days). It's also the first leak free period I've had ever (as tampons always leak on my heavy days after 2 hrs).
I will also testify that it is idiot proof, as I've inserted it inside out twice (with the tab on the inside)! I'm still not sure how that happened🙈! It did not leak on these occassions and it was relatively easy to remove as I have a low cervix.
I will say however, that when emptying in a public bathroom, I had to tug from behind as I can't seem to get it out without it emptying into my palm in the way demonstrated in the video. Tugging from behind allows me to empty the disc without pulling it out all the way. Once emptied, I tuck it back in virtually mess free.
Great job Kim! I'm incredibly grateful to you for finally reaching my period nirvana!💗
Omg I'm so proud of you!! This was such an amazing accomplishment! Thank you for doing this, it has got me very interested in trying a menstrual disc. I've been thinking about it so much I even had a dream about buying a hello disc 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been on the fence about discs for a while. I’ve been trying cups since 2016 and I just can’t seem to consistently get the hang of them. I still use it because I hate tampons and pads…. But this video convinced me to try discs. It seems so intimidating but everyone keeps saying they are actually easier than cups. I’m excited to try this one!
This was the literally the most amazing experience with my period! I used the saalt cups before and it was always still somehow not feeling secure. My friend recommended the hello disk and oh my goodness it has been life changing! So easy to insert and remove and to clean!! Just incredible, I have a high cervix and the first two times were mess free! The tab made it so so easy to remove! Also no leaks AT ALL! I went on a small road trip my first day using it and I didn’t have to worry about it at all and I could wear overalls!! Love this and bringing it everywhere with me.
Currently at the end of my first cycle with the hello disc. Even though it was rather expensive since being in Europe and getting it from New Zealand so shipping + costumes duty fees, I don't care because it was so worth it ❤️ I only had ever used cups and at a point I stopped using them because the suction would be painful while on cramps and/or the stem would start poking me. I am now fully converted to discs and can't stop annoying people about how awesome it is. I'm obsessed THANK YOU KIM!
can i ask how you got it delivered in Europe? when i go to the website i dont get the option for delivery
@@sorellla same problem!!
I've been using mine for the first time this week and I'm in Love!!!! I'm so happy it's perfect for my heavy period and just in general. I started with a cup but this is perfect because it holds double and is literally perfect. Had to empty the cup more often but not my Disc. I didn't think it could be so easy to use but it is. I've become a blabber mouth telling anyone who'll listen. I thought cups were life changing but this is truly amazing I'll never use anything else!!! Thank you so much for creating this product. It's a 100/10 from me. Everyone with a menstrual cycle should definitely buy and try at least once. This freedom is truly amazing. I can lay, wear, sleep, sit, stretch, sneeze, cough, bend, dance, jump, kick, swim, ect. anyway I want now, with no limitations whatsoever. I never knew just how trapped I was in all my 9 years of having a period since I was 14. I feel unstoppable, and yes I am still a virgin and that made no difference. Freedom!!!!!!!!!
Wow this is so incredible to hear, thanks for sharing! It's so fun to see these real life comments now that it's been available for about a year!
@@PeriodNirvana OMG!!! Hi!! Thanks again!! I'm truly blown away. You guys are the best, keep up the amazing work!!
I’ve been researching and watching reviews for of using different cups for 3 hours, you have inspired me to try this disk. I wanted to in the past but I was scared of not being able to get it😭😭I’m also an athlete so sometimes I can’t always just go change my pad. I have also been watching a lot of your videos and I’m so happy about how detailed and informative your videos are THANKYOU!!!!💙💜💚
Also can you swim in these with confidence?
It’s time I get over my fear, and I’m gonna try this disk!! I hate my period so much. So maybe this will make things better for me. Thank you so much Kim!
I love this disc!! It’s absolutely the perfect fit for me to the point it doesn’t even auto dump!! I’m not so sad about that though and I feel so secure with it. I’ve used cups for almost a year and started to have leaking issues that I just couldn’t solve. I’ve had a learning curve with inserting compared to the firmer disposable discs. It flipped upside down while inserting a couple times which is kinda funny and I don’t know I managed that, but I’ve got it figured it out now and it’s perfect for me in every way!!
*Read if you’re on the fence about trying hello disc!* I have been using the hello disc since it has come out. I have tried so many menstrual cups and discs and this is the BEST. I love the pull tab, easy insertion and removal, very comfortable, auto dump feature and most importantly does not leak!!! I’ve always had problems with every single period product (very heavy flow) but I never have to worry about that again! If you still worry I use the salt period undies on heaviest days but honestly don’t need it! You need to try!
I love the side by side comparisons it really helps to know the sizing/firmness especially when you have several cups.
I've been a long time soft disc user. I use one per cycle just washing throughout and tossing at the end. I've wanted to switch to reusable for awhile however as you can assume a box of 14 lasts me forever. I was excited to see I only have one left from the last box I bought back in December of 2021 (my cycle is long at 47 days extending things even more) I watched so many of your videos today trying to learn as much as I could before buying. I am happy to say I am trying this product! I got it in your exclusive color Galapagos! ❤
Hi, shouldn't the disposable ones be tossed after one use? 🤔 thank you!
@@gliorchisonocomelecipolle single use is what the manufacturers and such recommend. I'm in no way saying you should do something against the label. That being said after a year of tossing them I decided that I could significantly reduce the plastic waste by washing them. I have since done that without any complications for years. I also only need the disc for 2-3 days as my periods are extremely short so I'm not wearing it for 5 or more days I do feel like that is a factor to take into consideration. I would personally just suggest you purchase a reusable disc if you want to reuse it.
Yes girl I am so excited for you and the hello disc! I have never used a disc before but I have my first Hello Disc ordered and I cant wait to use it. Your channel really helped me get comfortable with reusable period products and I am never going back!!
I’ve always had traumatic experiences with insertion style period products like menstrual cups and tampons. Tampons because the dry cotton is very painful for me (sensory issues) and cups because of the suction, also sensory related. I tried nixit last night and for the first time ever with insertion-style menstrual products, I didn’t have a single panic attack while either inserting or removing it. I’m definitely going to try this one though, for the less mess. It doesn’t bother me but it would be nice for public toilets if need be. Thank you for all these reviews!
I recently thought that tab might be uncomfortable but now looking into this disc more I can see why it would work very intriguing.
After watching many videos about discs, I decided to try the hello disc. My cup was making my cramps worse and my flow is heavier now. I’m on my second period with the hello disc. I am in love with it. Cramps aren’t worsened, it’s so easy to insert, I can wear it for 12 hrs, it hasn’t leaked yet, and the pull tab is awesome (I cut it in half). Thank you so much for making this product ❤
I’m super excited to receive mine! I love discs and I think the tab on this one will help me with my only “issue” with disks which is messy removal. Also…I love your videos!! They are so helpful! I love all the angles, the REAL footage and opinions, it’s all so super helpful. If I ever had daughters, we would watch them together. Seriously wish you were around when I had “the talk” at school 😆 congrats on the product! Can’t wait to try it and thank you for all the info!
I’ve always been too scared to try discs. However, I work sleep studies now and have to watch the machines all night. Periods are a major nightmare. So much goes into working in labs and periods are NOT on the roster. I just tried this for the first time. I will be working for the next 12 hours and feel totally comfortable. Thank you for creating this. It’s one less thing to stress over.
I've been using menstrual cups for 8-10 years and although I love them, I have such a heavy flow that they can really leak at night and during the first couple of days. I also hate using them at work or in a public bathroom where a sink isn't nearby. Bloody fingers, yuck! But I just got a Hello disc yesterday and my period started this morning. So far all I know is that my cervix is really high up there, haha. Hopefully it works well.
I really appreciate your frankness and the fact that you show period blood. And cutting your leggings? Genius! So many of us women need help and to be able to learn from each other. I was just showing this video to my teenage daughter and it really opened up the conversation like never before. So thank you! You're doing really important work and please ignore anyone who suggests that you aren't! A couple of years ago a friend and I started a local chapter here in Texas of the charity Days for Girls---it ends period inequality in developing nations---because periods and period stigma are such a big part of the lives of so many people on this planet! Period education is so needed! Thank you!!!
I bought this product without really doing much prior research, but I had been curious about trying reusable period products. I came across your channel to get an idea of how to use menstural discs and this video actually made me excited to try it out!
Thank you. Just thank you. Been a cup user for about 3 years now and I’m an idiot and went crazy, well let my nail tech go crazy because I hadn’t had my nails done in a while. I like them longer but this particular set is like double the length I usually get. Had no problem getting the cup in, but getting it out, I tried everything and couldn’t get it. I can’t do pads in the summer so I picked up some disposable discs and I’m really enjoying them. I really appreciate how candid you are and how real you are. I needed some help making sure I knew what I was doing and you definitely helped me so much! Excited to give a reusable a try! The only thing I don’t like about cups and discs is that I didn’t know they existed until I was 25. They are truly life changing.
Thank you so much for Period Nirvana! Since I came across this channel its been sooo helpful. Your videos would be great for young girls learning how to navigate their periods! ❤
Somehow your Chanel popped up on my feed I’ve watched every short you have and just bought my hello disc today and I’m so excited to try it next cycle I just purchased the soft disc disposables and fell in love with discs thank you so much for all your info on period products discs are a game changer I never knew they existed till now ❤️
I wanna try this disc! I really loved the real blood 😂 thank you for normalizing periods! We shouldn't be embarrassed at all about them
Thank you for doing these videos! They are so helpful and they take away concerns and insecurities. It's so refreshing to have someone being "Period is normal" which it totally is! And you're using inclusive language which is a huge pro for me. You are the reason I'm an currently trying my first menstrual cup, but I'm thinking about switching to the Hello Disc. Thank you so so much!
I tried it dry run and then for 1 period. I have a low cervix. I give it a 4.5 out 5 stars.
I practiced insertation/removal 2 days before my period. Insertation for all tab types was 'difficult' at first but practice makes perfect. I believe the area where the tab is attached is a little thicker, therefore made it harder to squeeze. But only temporarily. Flipped was the easiest to remove. Tucked was hard for me to get ahold of the tab. Due to having a low cervix, I didn't attempt the dropped tab. I believe flipped or tucked might be my way for future cycles.
The material of the hello disc is amazing. So smooth and not tacky. To have inside smooth and outside matte was a good idea.
Now removal is where I knock off 0.5 star. The claim of it being mess free removal is what drew me to this disc. I've used ones without removal device and I have used the Lumma that used strings. The claim where it is "mess-free" wasn't my case. When I pulled the tab, the blood would shoot out. And then it got over my fingers and hand. And this happened on heavy days and medium flow days.
you could "auto-dump" it first by just pushing a little and then take it out for a less messy removal.
@@crazycrafts5945 i cant get it to autodump thats the thing
@@abkayla1T oh. well then it might fit a little too well and it won't autodump for you...
Couldn't agree more. It's less messy than other cups and discs I've tried but it's no where near mess-free enough for me to feel comfortable managing it in a public restroom.
Literally just placed my order and I’m beyond excited to try this. ❤ so glad I found this and I feel confident it will be my favorite disc!
First day using this Hello Disc. It did take two hands to keep it folded, and I fumbled with it a bit at first (shot itself up and out of my hands onto the floor, so I had to boil it again 😂)
But the second try, as soon as it was mostly in, *SLORP* it just popped up into place without even tucking 😳 I was SO surprised!! And I've almost been paranoid that I somehow did something wrong, because discs in the past have been a struggle to keep them in place 😂 But this is the one the quiz gave me, and damn it was so right!! Thank you for working with production to make it 🥰
I have been an avid advocate for menstrual cups to anybody who would listen, but as somebody with a high cervix removal was always a problem for me, as it would involve a minimum of five minutes of pinching and rummaging around to try and get the cup out. Additionally, as my period is quite heavy, I would rarely be able to go the full 12 hours before needing to empty the cup or risk a leak. That’s why I decided to check out what menstrual discs were all about.
At first I was very apprehensive because they seem so much larger than cups and I really didn’t like the idea of the two rings hanging out, but I figured I could always trim them if they were getting in the way.
Anyways, I took the test and I bought the Hello disc after your recommendation and well, colour me impressed, because it slides right in, collects more blood than the cup, and oh my God never has the removal been so easy. No pushing, no pinching, no bearing down to grab the stem of the cup, I literally just tug on the ring and the whole thing slides out without any pain or discomfort. Also, the rings actually sit quite nicely tucked in along the cup, and, needless to say, but with my high cervix, not only did I not need to cut them, but I almost always use the outer ring only as that’s the most comfortable one to reach.
I really appreciate the easier removal and the larger volume that the disc is able to hold and also the softer silicone just feels like it moulds to my anatomy so much more gently.
All in all, this was an excellent recommendation!
I hadn’t realised how much my body language changes when I’m on my period because I’m always worried about a leak, which has happened through pads, through tampons, through period underwear, through cups, and sometimes even combinations of the above. If the disc manages to give me freedom from leaks, it would truly revolutionise my life. Thank you for designing this! ❤
WOW I'd been thinking of trying a cup. I only have use of one of my hands so bathroom trips take a lot longer when trying to change tampons/pads but just watching the reviews made me question how I'll put the cup in. I was led to your video on causes of pain with the cup and that's when I said absolutely no way will I try a cup. I cry just getting a pap smear due to trauma even though I've already delivered a child. Just the thought of pain from the cup scared me. I took your quiz and it recommended this since I have an IUD and you have me SOLD from this video! Finally something I can use with an IUD that won't be painful that I can use with one hand. Thank you!!!
How wonderful that your collab product was what you were hoping for. I personally love so many things about it. You got everything on my wish list. 💘
Wow!!! I ordered one of these for myself earlier today. I have a high cervix and hated removing my cup. It being messy wasn’t too bad… But it was slippery and hard to break the suction. Can’t wait for my disk!
Just got to the… Adult activities part of this video. YES!!!! This is going to be game changer for my husband and I! Yay!
I love menestral cups because of comfort but the suction is a nightmare force on days where my cervix is sitting a bit high. I’ll find myself sitting for over an hour just thinking about how little I want to reach in there and struggle to break that seal 😭 I’ve been trialing disposable disks this cycle and the experience has really got me strongly considering a reusable version. This has been the most comfortable period I’ve had since the first period I used a cup and I haven’t had to fight my own insides ONCE. This review is super comprehensive and honestly answers all my questions. This is without a doubt my next step
Thank you for the birds eye view of the removal!!!! I'm buying one from the shop now! I just bought the flex reusable disk for my last cycle and I like it, it's easy to use and comfortable but it's extremely messy. Like the blood shoots out like a water gun during removal. Thank you for the video!
Kim, you are amazing and do great work! I am so grateful for your channel and all your hard work-with this disc, here, IG, your site and quiz, all of it.
This disc is great! Mine arrived the day before my period, and I think the anticipation was warranted. For me, it functions exactly as described, and removal is a breeze. (Insertion didn’t seem quite as easy as the Cora, which had been my go to, but the difference isn’t huge, and the ease of removal pushes the Hello disc ahead, for sure!)
I have a new favorite! Thank you again!
Yes! I love this! I would totally agree that insertion might be less easy compared to a few other reusable discs (but easier than some as well, so kind of in the middle) but the other benefits make that a non-issue for me as well. I think every product is going to have tradeoffs in one way or another. The thing that makes it easier to remove and comfortable (shape, rim, tab) can make insertion slightly harder for some. It's all about which thing you value most!
Hey Kim I just ordered my 1st menstrual disc. I’m glad you came up with the hello disc. I feel like you listened to the peoples complaints and came up with this amazing idea! It was including the ring for me. Thank you so much! Unfortunately my cycle came on, so I’ll be trying the disc for the very first time the end of the month. Will update soon.
How did it go? I've never tried any type of cup or disc but I'm super interested in trying the Hello Disc. I'm just nervous to try discs and cups in general. 😫
@@Harlow_Khmer It went well. Hello disc did what it was suppose to do which was secured behind the tailbone with no leakes on a relatively low-medium flow day. But, I would recommend a disc with a higher capacity on the heaviest day. I’ve tried other disc that I do prefer over the hello disc based off my female anatomy diagram and the amount of blood I lose per cycle. Self diagnosed, I do have menorrhagia (heavy bleeding) with history of blood transfusions. My go to are: Ziggy B (76 ml capacity w diameter 73) and Lumma high (60 ml capacity w diameter 68). The Ziggy and Lumma discs are a lot firmer and can hold more than the hello disc. I like lumma more over the Ziggy due to the string, easy pull/ control over the toilet with no mess, whereas with the Ziggy or any disc without a pull string or loop would be a lot messier. I would recommend those without a string or loop do in the shower.
@@jussnaturallyphine thanks so much for taking the time to respond back to me! I've been trying to find out as much info on cups and discs and asks what it's been like for everyone so hopefully I can make a decision on which to buy. My period will be here around the 20th of this month so I better hurry and find something haha. The hello disc is sold out on the website otherwise I would have just thought that one because of the pull-tab it gives me security knowing that the dish won't get too far up in me and lost because I keep reading common where women had to go to the hospital to get it removed and not even their husband and boyfriend couldn't reach it and that the doctor had to use forceps so that freaks me out 😂
@@Harlow_Khmer your welcome. Im glad I was able to help. But I’ve heard a few stories about the cup. I, myself have the Merula XL cup. That’s the best larger capacity,firmer, with a ring to pull. Merula fits me better, but I will say cups do have a tendency to rise up in the canal and sometimes flip which can be annoying. Also, I’ve noticed with cups they do suction so you will experience some cramping after trials of learning. C-fold was the insert I used to put the cup in, so embrace yourself whichever fold that you use because it will pop open. Sometimes when its pops open that’s how I know the cup is fully open but I still check around the base with my finger. Cup vs disc; the cup you have to run your finger just to make sure there’s no dents whereas disc you dont. Disc to me is like plugging your Vijay jay it doesn’t rise up and the only way blood will flow out is if you unplug it. With the cup if its full/overflow it’ll leak on the side of your Vijay jay walls. More, I feel with cups i have to change quite frequently, say about every 5hrs but with a disc 7-10 hr wear. Discs for me is way better I can swim do my daily routine;very busy day and I don’t have to worry about leakage. Not saying disc dont leak but they do autodump when its full; more or less when you use the bathroom, but it’ll go back in its place (behind tailbone)for me at least.Just keep in mind cups are not messier than discs! And, SAVES YOU MONEY!!!You should be find. Hope you find your Goldilocks!
@@jussnaturallyphine ❤️❤️❤️
I love my Hello disc!! Everything is just amazing. It was totally worth the wait! I’d say I finally found my goldilocks but I want to try it on my actual heavy days just to be sure. But so far, it’s the best for me ! ^^
I am so thankful for the Hello Disc! Thank you for all your efforts in making this amazing product a reality and all of these super helpful videos!! ❤❤❤
I feel so proud of you and I have just been watching your videos the last few days. I impulse bought the Saalt Disc at Target. and then started to look up videos. I originally knew about discs from a couple youtubers mentioning that they like the flex disposable disc. I have wanted another period option other than the pads I have worn since I first got my period. Period underwear and overflowed for me. And the cup sounded cool but i didn't like the idea of something pressing on my vaginal canal. As well it seems a little complicated to know which ones would be best for the body. I had seen that flex had a reusable disc and was intrigued and scared. When I saw saalt had a finger notch I felt better. I will see how it goes and how it fits. But the loops, less mess removal and easy clean interior make me intrigued to try the Hello Disc. Thanks for all the helpful information and education in my journey into reusable period products. You are amazing!
I appreciate the removal parts. I wanted confirmation I was inserting wrong lol (I am doing it wrong).
I am new to discs because my cup needs replacement - the tail I noticed had a tiny tear in it and that makes me worried.
I am currently an unpaid caretaker for relatives and unemployed so I def bought a generic disc. I feel like there are no completely ethical purchases (period products, clothing, electronics, etc.). Not justifying the poor/inhumane treatment of people or stealing ip. Thank you for addressing xenophobia in that post btw.
Thank you for testing and showing removal.
I’m really grateful for your videos and blog posts on your site. I feel like this video is super helpful with the removal portions especially nails and slightly inebriated.
Thank you for providing these videos. I hope the platforms value the education you provide, and/or people stop reporting/flagging.
Glad to know there are now two accounts I can go for period related content/education.
I love my hello disc!!! This is my first reusable disc. And, I will probably never go back!!!
Hello Disk is my favorite period product! I've almost never had cups work for me but Hello Disk did! Thank you for making such a great product!
I was so excited to try it and then bam I'm pregnant the cycle after it was delivered 😅 I can't wait to try it next year!! Lol, congratulations on such a wonderful product
Oh dang, congrats! Luckily the disc lasts for 10 years so even if you take a long period break it will be there!
I’m so excited to receive the Hello Disc! I have been struggling with pads for the longest time and felt an upgraded was needed :) Thank you so much for sharing this video, you are a game-changer! ❤❤
The model and demonstrations were so helpful! Running to buy this, the loops are a big selling point for me!
Watched this for the first time when I was deciding whether to buy the Hello Disc. Watching it now after receiving it.. super excited to use it
I bit the bullet and made the investment!
I used to wear diva cup 1 but past 6 months it has been leaking badly, painful and add more cramps I gave up with it and last few cycles I used pads again. Used your quiz and it matched me with hello disc. As I'm in Australia, I bought it directly from hello website this morning. Hopefully it will be great! Will give update!
I was so excited to stumble into this video! I paused at 1:51 to take the test.
The test made me uncomfortable in many questions, because the selection of answers available did not satisfy what my answer would be.
I am also not a fan of quizzes where I am asked to provide an email for the answer.
I understand that it is a great marketing technique, but it turns me off.
However, I am excited to learn more about period discs, as I have been a cup user for many years, and just assumed that they were 'good enough'.
I have experienced some of the issues proposed in the quiz, and I will be on the lookout for a disc going forward.
Thank you for putting your time towards helping those of us with uteruses gain knowledge, useful ideas, and new tools
Email is optional. It’s a very thorough quiz. I’d ask the same questions in person to guide someone. For people with far more experience who know exactly what they want they’ll have better luck using the comparison chart and doing their own research. It has 29 results but there are more cups and discs out there.
you are the best!!! thank you for all you're doing for the period community, you are my role model!
Thank you for the review! I backed the kickstarter and I was finally able to test it this week. Yay late cycles 😅🙄. The one thing that made it quite difficult for me, was that the first insertion was really hard. I was used to the Cora that has a firmer rim. The hello one was so soft that I almost couldn’t get it in, because it lost its form. I had to use two hands but i got it in. Wearing it was the most comfortable thing ever and removing it as well. My only gripe is insertion. EDIT: after first cycle I’m still torn. I don’t like that it’s so soft that I can’t place it correctly and I have to pinch it very hard to hold it’s form to be able to insert it. It also went sideways on me, which was bizzare. The pull tab I have yo tuck in and then let it reveal its self upon removal because otherwise is a bit uncomfortable. Lastly I worry that I can’t place it where it needs to be because the rim is not firm enough for my needs. I’ll try it again next cycle to see if I have better luck. On the plus side 0 leaks and once inside it’s quite comfortable.
I am so excited to try this!
I just ordered 2!
I have a cervix that can be one knuckle deep one day of my period, then unreachable the next which has been a problem for me finding a cup that works and is consistently comfortable I am also a curvy girl so manoeuvering my way around trying to get thing in the right places and back out again is frustratingly difficult at times ,
I am so impressed by the design of this disc, it just makes sense to me🥰🥳🍾🥂
Absolutely cannot wait to try it🌻🌈🌹
Thank you for showing actual removal. SO helpful.
I've had it for a few weeks and it's finally time to test it out this week on my cycle!!! I'm so so excited.
This video is the best, love that you show your real blood and how to use and so on, am going to order a hello disc now that I watched this video ❤️
This is so helpful, thank you!
I was distracted by how pretty you are lol. The accessories and lip ring. The nails, glasses and shirt matching your eyes. Your lip and hair color 😍 You look gorgeous 😊❤
So this is amazing!!! The firmness is all over, not just the rim and therefore it pops in the right place, and with autodumping, it also pops back. I have a Ziggy 2B and was surprised by that, but this one is way easier. Only question: why is there no pouch? I actually don't like to have something inside when I don't have my period yet and if there's a little blood, I don't need lubricant. So then I would be able to carry a clean disc. I now just pop it in the bag I got with the Ziggy.
Just ordered it! I've never used a disc but I recently discovered using pads and tampons are very very toxic. I saw so many people talking about how terrible their periods were while using tampons and even getting sick. I don't want that. I've tried the diva cup and didn't like it. So fingers crossed a disc will be the winner
I love these real life reviews. I hate the blue water and "labatorium" circumstances. Body's and periods don't work that way. Lets make it less "weird" to have periods. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for trying to remove and insert it with nails. I have always been hesitant to try discs because I always have long nails and even putting in tampons can sometimes be a little painful.
I would like to say thank you very much. So very well explained and gave us so many tips. I'm just buying my one now and am excited to try on.😊
Just placed my first order for a Hello disc this morning. Thank you Kim for all of your guidance in this area.
You are just in time, we were sold out for 2 days but they restocked yesterday. Hope you love it!
I use this disc and the flex reusable and love them both. Hello disc when I have time to insert it properly(more comfy), and I use the flex disc when I need a quick insertion since it is a bit firmer. My hello disc does not auto dump though so I usually just pull the flipped tab a little to dump and then push it back in place. Great product!
Your videos helped me find the right cup for me on the first try. I have loved it, but after I saw the disk option I was curious and researched a lot. When I saw this review it was what I was waiting for... A disk with a good way to take it out. Trying it now. Thanks so much for your videos!
Oh the nails! Finally, somebody answered my question about wearing those discs with long nails! Now that I know it is possible and without pain I will buy one!
Just ordered mine today, will have to wait another month to try it out with my cycle, but fingers crossed it works. 😢
Seriously, cannot recommend the Hello Disc enough! It is my favorite thing I own because of how well it works. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and buy it!!
I tried disks because of you! I'm way better with it than cups. I have the SAALT disk.
This video answered every question I had and then some 🥰 thank you so much for the immaculate description
Hey Kim!! Love watching all your videos ☺️ they are incredibly helpful.
This Hello Disc literally looks like THE DREAM period product of all time. I'm a Canadian, any chance this will be available for Canadians to purchase in the future? Thanks in advance 😊
That’s the hope and what we are working on. Health Canada is kind of the worst 😮💨
@@PeriodNirvana Ah that would be so lovely! Haha I could see that... Thanks for your response 💕 I had a Diva Cup for a few years and could never get it to work for me... I took your quiz and went with the recommended Saalt Soft in a Small and I think I found period Nirvana, finally 😍
Ordered a Hello disc bundle and an extra Hello pad today! Almost looking forward to my next period... not really lol But can't wait to try the disc and pads!
Hey Kim! I love your videos! I know the Hello Disc just came out 😅 but do you plan on coming out with a smaller size one day? Having two sizes would make this a Goldilocks for literally everyone haha
I don’t know for sure but it’s always been on the table based on how the One Size performed. The disc was so unique and the challenges to manufacture were extensive so we focused on the OS first.
@@PeriodNirvana Thanks so much for your response, Kim! That makes complete sense. If you do ever come out with a smaller size, I’ll be first in line to support and buy 🙋♀️
Hey have you tried the Hello disc? I don’t know if it is to big or something?
@@x_bncc9559 Hi Lisa! I did try it and it’s a bit too big for me. I have a lower cervix so the Saalt small disc is my all time favorite. If you have an average height and especially a high cervix, I think the Hello Disc would be great for you! If you have a low cervix, I would recommend a disc with a smaller diameter (I.e., Lumma small, Saalt small, Cora disc, etc.).
Can't wait to buy it in Germany. I hope I don't need to wait too long for it. Thank you so much for your 1st person-angle, this is really helpful. Let's normalize our period blood.
I am also from Germany, couldn't buy it yet. Have you been able to purchase one?
Got mine through Kickstarter first round and have been too scared to use it 🤣 waiting for this cycle. Thank you so much for this 💕✨💐💐💗
this is the first day of my period using the hello cup! this is actually my first menstrual disc. this morning the insertion was super easy (can’t compare to other discs since I haven’t tried others, but much easier than a cup) and I haven’t felt any leaks yet. I’ve used different cups for the past couple years and have had trouble with painful/annoying insertion and removal, and rarely could get the cups to fit right so always leaked on heavier days, but was always too afraid to try discs because of the removal process! but I hope that the tab will help with that when I try later today! super stoked about this product :)
I just ordered this and I’m very disappointed to find out it doesn’t come with the pouch. I contacted Hello Period as I thought it was just a mistake in my package. I was told that now it only comes with the limited edition Galapagos colour, not with Seafog or Black. They told me I need to purchase one separately from their website. Which i obviously don’t want to do because I don’t want to pay shipping just for a tiny bag. Not sure what to store it in now since I didn’t know to order a bag separately, I didn’t see that anywhere in the description.
I don’t really want to pay for shipping just for a tiny bag. I must say, for something that needs to be stored 3 weeks out of every month and is a somewhat private product I’m really surprised it doesn’t come the bag included anymore.
Kim, maybe you could add that in your description so people know they need to now order that separately if they want a bag.
