How to Prevent Spills when Removing your Menstrual Disc (or Mess-Free Menstrual Disc Removal Tips)

Using a menstrual disc is a game-changer—hello, comfort, longer wear, and leak protection! But let’s be real: removing it can get messy. Here are some quick tips to keep it clean and stress-free.

1. Wash Your Hands – Keep things hygienic before reaching in.

2. Relax – Tense muscles make removal harder, so take a deep breath.

3. Find Your Position – Sit on the toilet, squat in the shower, or prop a leg up.

4. Hook and Pull – Use a finger to hook the notch or pinch the rim for control.

5. Go Slow & Keep Level – Lean back slightly and pull steadily to avoid spills.

6. Use Period Underwear for Back-up – Residual blood can lead to spotting, so wear a pair of leakproof panties for an extra layer of protection. 

Expect some residual fluid, so keep wipes handy. With practice, it gets easier—find what works best for you!
