It is similar to the cup for the monthly blood collection method but differs greatly from the buffer. Invention comes from the US: In 2015 San Francisco menstrual disc was tested by Flex Company, a start-up founded by Lauren Schulte Wang, who wants to find alternatives for those women who do not want to use hygiene napkins (which can cause problems, including allergies).
The Flex menstrual disc is the first with a comfortable and perfect structure. Opinions on the menstrual disc agree on one point: once you find your favorite, the one that best fits your cervix and physical form, you'll get rid of the lines. Promises coverage of up to 12 hours depending on the flow.
There are versions of washable and reusable silicon menstrual disks, just like cups, with a much lower environmental impact than continuous use of lines. But above all it is the only hygienic (non-contraceptive) device that can be used to have sex during the cycle.
Menstrual disc and menstrual cup, changes!
The shape of the menstrual disk and the menstrual cup is obviously similar, but not identical. The cup is deeper and narrower because it is placed in the vaginal canal just below the cervix.
The menstrual disk, on the other hand, is flat and wider, and should be placed in front of the vaginal arch, the deepest point of the vagina, in a longitudinal manner. The material is usually a flexible and soft silicone, adaptable and foldable to fit, so you'll have it very simple.
