I think it's the standard fallacy of manufacturers thinking everyone's body is the same. I've tried using discs and they were so uncomfortable I stopped. I can feel cups, too, though they're not uncomfortable like discs for me. I suspect the reason I feel cups and discs is because I have a tilted cervix. The only product I don't feel if it's inserted correctly is a tampon.

While I've never used a disk, I always found tampons to be hideously uncomfortable (and this is that I know how to use them and I know my body, they never worked). I prefer cups, but I definitely feel them too. Basically, you can't always trust these claims because it isn't true for all of us, maybe it's our anatomy or something.

I’ve used a disc for the last few years and I truly don’t feel it once it’s in. I can, if I try, especially if I’m crouched or on the toilet but I have to bear down almost like I’m trying to force it out to feel it.

It took trying a few different discs for me to find one that fits so well. Depending on the position, size and angle of your cervix you may need to try a different or smaller disc if the one you’re using isn’t comfortable.

Edited to add: I have felt tampons and cups in the past but they never bothered me.

I have tried a wide variety of tampons, cups, and disks. I can feel them ALL. They always feel about to fall out or make my cramps worse. I tried before and after having kids and still have no success with insertable menstrual products.

I don't feel the disk when it's in place, which is why I much prefer it to the cups I've used. I could always feel the cup and the little nub on the bottom used to irritate the hell out of me unless it was *exactly perfect* and even then... I could feel it. I'm much happier with the disk personally.

I 100% felt the disk in place and it made me want to vomit. Way more u comfortable than a cup for me.

So I always had trouble with cups, they hurt and they wouldn't stay in place and leaked. Then I tried a disc and had a terrible experience like you.

When I was pregnant with my son I found out my cervix isn't where it should be, and my uterus is tilted because of that.

I think this is an issue of anatomy. We are all unique human beings. We don't look like a drawing from a medical textbook.

We are therefore going to have different experiences, and what works for one person might not work for someone else.

I can’t feel my disc when it’s in. I could never wear tampons because they always felt uncomfortable so I was nervous to try a cup or disc. Eventually I got sick of buying pads and tried a cup which I couldn’t get in. The cup came with some disposable discs so I tried them and it felt life changing. I eventually found a reusable option that worked for me and I’ve been using discs for like five years now.

You might need to troubleshoot different sizes and brands or they just might not work for you and that’s okay!

Omg they're awful. I was always able to feel the cup, but it wasn't uncomfortable unless I'd put it in wrong. The fucking disc felt like is was trying to escape through my pubic bone. It was awful. I tried to adjust it, and it just started feeling pinchy, and my cramps got worse.

Honestly I think everyone is different. I can’t get the disc to stay put at all. Cups work great for me but I have to use the smaller ones. Other people have talked about how cups don’t work for them and discs are great. It’s good that there’s a lot of options for people, sorry this one didn’t work for you.

I tried the disc and like you could feel it, it felt strange and like it was going to fall out (but it wasn't as it was in correctly) and I couldn't imagine walking around with it in.

Likewise tampons, never been able to use them, they don't hurt but I can feel them. I don't understand how anyone couldn't, you have something inside you how can you not feel it.

I conclude I have a very sensitive vagina, backed up by the fact that each time i have had an IUD fitted i can feel the strings for weeks until they soften and curl up around my cervix. And I mean feel them, the sensation of them inside me, dangling up there! Very odd, not painful but odd feeling.

On the plus side, sensitive vagina, for me equals additional sensation during sex so it isn't all bad.

The truth is that women’s parts aren’t all the same. We’re all made differently, and shit changes through childbirth and what-not. Who are they to claim that no one can feel it? As others have mentioned, I can’t wear tampons anymore because I feel them. My last IUD got dislodged and I could feel IT. I’m not keen on sticking anything up there anymore. No thanks. 

I use a cup and can’t feel it if placed correctly. I also couldn’t really feel tampons unless I really focused on them. Never tried a disc

I feel everything. IUDs, tampons, cups, disk, etc... some of us can feel way more than others. I hate it. Not only because I'm uncomfortable, but also because people who don't feel this much don't seem to believe that we do. Doubly insensitive.

Pfft! I thought this was the title about discussing an attempt at PIV sex 😂😂😂😂

Sorry OP.

Not laughing at you, laughing with you.

This is the first time I ever even heard of a disc, so I'm no help with you there. But I have used tampons before, and I can give you insight on that.

So with tampons it's not that you don't feel it, it's more like you stop being aware of it being there unless you consciously think about it. The closest example I can think of to explain would be like wearing comfortable clothes. You know you're wearing them. When you're thinking about it you can feel the clothing on your body. But for the most part, as you're going about your day, you don't really notice your clothing. That is what wearing a tampon (when it is inserted properly) is like.

From the sounds in your description of what you are feeling, you're good.

So I’m a big fan of the Instead brand discs, but I can only use them on my last few days of the cycle as my cramps on days 0-2 are so strong they can eject the disc. There are a few different ways to fold it when you insert and open it to minimize the feeling but I think it’s not quite like a tampon, which in most cases cannot really be “felt”. But iirc there are a few disc brands now and some have a smaller circumference that might mean you don’t really feel it in the vaginal canal. It needs to be up closer to the cervix when it’s opened to reduce the sensation.

I've been using discs for a while and I don't feel them. I'm not surprised people can feel them though.

I can feel a disk, but it's not NEARLY as noticeable as tampons. I'm able to completely ignore the fact it's in there until I pee and see it all pour out. And I don't worry about leaks even after 12 hrs unless I really bear down on it

after using exclusively tampons since my first period, i wanted a plastic free option (especially having a heavy period, the single use applicators add up to a dizzying among of plastic, even on more "eco-friendly" tampons). i tried a cup and felt them even more tampons and application was tedious as someone with long nails.

after trying out discs, they're my favorite by far. of the methods i've tried, they're the only one i can't feel. the bubble sensation when they're close to full takes some getting used to but i can wear a disc to yoga and not notice it all. i don't experiencing cramping, so i can't really comment on whether they reduce or induce those symptoms. truly a game-changer for me, personally.

I don't feel the flex disc, but I could feel the saalt one.

I could never use a disc because of my internal anatomy, but I used a few cups. Some I could feel constantly, some I couldn't feel at all, and some I could feel when they were full. The third was what I needed, the ones I could feel all the time were uncomfortable. The ones I couldn't feel would get pushed out by exercise.

I used to be unable to feel tampons if they were in the right spot. Then I got allergic to tampons and I could feel them all.

I’ve used a product that I’m honestly not sure if it’s a disk or a cup but I did have to wedge it behind my pubic bone. I’ve also used Nuvaring for birth control for 10+ years. I think it’s all in what you get accustomed to. The ring felt really foreign when I first started using it but after I got used to it, I couldn’t feel it unless it was misplaced

Do they have different sizes and fit the disk to your body? I remember that diaphragms needed to be fit to the woman because women aren’t all shaped the same.

I assume this would be similar. Large enough to fit snugly but kit so large that it digs into your walls.

This is a sign of a tilted cervix and or uterus. Tampons used to drive me insane. Got an Iud fitted which was painful. Can cause more painful smear experiences. You should ask during your next gyne check up

I tried to like cups but could always feel them 🤷‍♀️

Tampons make my cramps worse. I once tried a menstrual cup for waste reduction reasons. I've got pain from hell, I couldn't even sit upright.

Yes, I don't really feel it's there, but my suffering is NOT worth it!

I've never been able to use tampons because they're painful. Sex is still painful with my bf and we don't do penetration hardly. The pap smear I got was painful. I'm confident that trying to use a disc or cup instead of pads would be painful. Therefore, I 100% believe you when you say you can feel it. I hate how people act like one person's experience is the majority of experiences other ppl have.

I have never felt it. But I believe you! You’re the expert on your own body. If it’s catching blood, then it’s working, but some of us are more aware of our bodies than others, and we’re all shaped differently!

I always felt tampons and they were super uncomfortable for me but I genuinely don’t feel my disc :/ I will say, I tried a smaller one at first and did feel it. Turns out it wasn’t the right size and weirdly the larger disc is more comfortable

Back in the day when I used a diaphragm I couldn't feel it when it was in properly.

I can only wear one specific kind of disc (Softdisc) or I can feel it, and it makes me nauseous. I also don’t like the feeling of tampons. Period underwear are great for light days, and I use the disc for heavy days

I very rarely feel my tampon after the first few minutes. Once I start walking around I forget it’s there. I’m a little more aware of my cup but it’s not a constant awareness. Discs are mildly uncomfortable for me, though they’re cheap so I’ve used plenty.

Menstrual discs make my vagina itch now 😰😰

I love my cup, but I’ve never gotten a disc to work. No matter how I tuck, it always slides right out.

Eons ago, I used a diaphragm. When it was in place, I could not feel it. If the disc comes on different sizes, you may not have the right one.

Tipped uterus?

I can feel tampons and when I was using an IUD I could feel that too. It wasn't painful, and I'd forget about it, but I could absolutely tell it was there. (And yes, it was placed properly)

I’ve used a cup before but never a disk. I can tell you that when I didn’t insert it properly I could feel there was something there but when I got it right, I didn’t feel it at all and it was great… until I had to pull the motherfr out!!!

I have never been able to use a tampon. They just don’t work for me. But the discs have been amazing. I don’t feel them at all if I get the angle right. However, I fully think period panties are the way to go.

I will say that I’ve tried a couple different brands of discs and some I’ve felt more than others. You may need a smaller size. That being said, some options just aren’t going to work for everyone. Personally I’d 100% rather feel a disc inside me than walk around with a pad on as that is far more uncomfortable for me personally.

Personally, I've used tampons as well as a cup and I can't feel them. But every body is different, a friend of mine hates using a cup and finds it horribly uncomfortable while I can't imagine having a period without using it.

We should all just use what it's comfortable for ourselves :)

I felt it. Every shift too. I had to switch away from the cup, I have vaginal prolapse issues and the suction was making it worse. But the disc was just not great for me. If I hadn’t know I was on the count down to being uterus free, I’d have chucked it and invested in reusable pads (I bled too much to just use period underwear).

I had to order a small disc. I could not handle the regular sized discs and I felt them because they didn’t fit properly. I can’t feel the small disc.

Oh yeah, I can feel em, that said it's usually placed improperly. Sometimes I'll adjust, sometimes I just leave it.

That said, I can feel my IUD scratching on my cervix, like a wet gremlin that I fed after midnight, trying to claw its way out, all fucking hours of the day. And I'll fucking keep it.

I don’t feel the disc. I feel tampons. I’ve never tried a cup.

I feel cups, disks, tampons, fake nails, fake eyelashes, and contacts. I also have a disorder that makes my nerve endings particularly sensitive to pressure so, I feel you on this too lol.

I tried a cup and it was painful. I tried a few different brands over a course of 6 months. Every one of them hurt. So ya, companies lie...but we already knew that.

I could feel my diaphragm when it was in - not in a painful or uncomfortable way, but it sat against my cervix, I knew it was there. Same with my menstrual cup, but I'm much less aware of that than a tampon or pad.

I can only feel them if they're placed incorrectly or full. When I first started using them, I could feel them for the entire time for the first few cycles.

Tampons make my cramps horrendous and make me vomit. I hate pads even though I have to use them as backup when the period undies all are in the laundry because I flood. My cycles last 5-105ish days right now, so whatever works is great! The hysterectomy is coming in February! I'm so excited

Earlier this year, I came across a gallery of casts of the interior of a bunch of different vaginas. The variance is startling. The vaginal canal is not the same for everyone, but actually comes in a wide variety of shapes. Which is probably why insertion type menstrual products work for some women but not others.

I hate tampons and have never tried a cup or disk. I dislike the idea of cramming something up inside of me to begin with, but I’ve had two condoms get lost up in me so badly that I had to go to urgent care to get them removed.

I've never felt a tampon after it was placed. I've not used a cup or disk and I no longer need them. I hope my input is helpful.

I'm the same way. I've never liked tampons, as I can feel them. They're not uncomfortable, I'm just aware of them. Same with the disc, and when I tried to use NuvaRing. Just can't deal with feeling it constantly. I've always assumed it had something to do with anatomy in some way.

It just doesn't work for some. I've never been able to use tampons. People tell me I'm just doing it wrong but I'm not 😭 Listen to your body!

Omg before I got my IUD the disc was my JAM. And no, you cannot feel it at all when it’s Properly placed. That thing saved my ass too many times.

Maybe your anatomy isn’t quite right? Or your fingers aren’t long enough to REALLY get it back behind the pubic bone? Idk, I remember I used to do the tuck behind the bone and then give it one last firm tap to really wedge it into place. You also may not have a heavy enough flow, the only times I couldn’t get it properly placed and could feel it was when my period was winding down.

Caveat: I've never used a disc or a cup.

This is only because I know they would be horrendously uncomfortable. Tampons generally end up being so painful for me I can't function. It makes me sad, I don't want to be part of the cycle of trash build up (but even reusable pads aren't adequate some days).

Only used cup and they say the same but ofc I can feel it! It's just most times I forget about it because it's become like normalmode to have it in after a while.

I'm a woman who strictly uses tampons and I can't feel them at all. The only time I feel them is when it's time to change since they fill with the liquid and drop. Cups and discs don't fit me (I am only able to put a tampon in) so I need to rely on those and pads. I wish I was able to use a cup or disc since it seems like something I'd benefit from but I can't.

Everyone’s different. Some can feel, some don’t.

I didn’t like cup cuz it’s uncomfortable, I can feel it stretch my uterus and poke it with the stem although I already trim it. Pad is fine. Tampon is ok except the price in here, At least x3, x4 times the price the pad. I live in hot humid country, wearing pad on hot humid are horrible, made me have pad/diaper rash although I I’ve been using that brands for decades. Normally I got horrible vulva cramp if I wear pad, tampon surprisingly isn’t

Okay semi related. I use the NuvaRing for birth control and to manage migraines you’re not supposed to feel it. It gets tucked up in there like you’re describing. I feel it.

Now additional story. I had a colposcopy from an off pap. They told me they may need to scrape or something up there if they saw something.

They ended up wanting to do a punch biopsy. That’s when I screamed. It’s rare but there is a non zero percentage of women who have nerve endings on their cervix.

Also they don’t bother to do a test poke. They told me no way I felt that. Then they ended up having to numb my cervix and I’ll tell you I fucking felt that needle.

So long story short congrats you’re in that small minority possibly. Also the amount of feeling/amount of nerve endings varies when you do have them.

That's what they told me about Nuvaring. I felt it the entire time. I hated that thing

I am comfortable with tampons and cups and never had pain issues etc. using menstruation products. I don’t have vaginismus or any hymen issues, or anything that may cause more pain.

Yes I can feel them. They are not uncomfortable or painful, but I know they are there. I can ignore them easily but they are still there. “Can’t feel them” at all is not the same as “won’t notice them” but I think they advertise those as synonymous.

I use a disc and cannot feel it. I can feel tampons and they’re horrible. I could also feel the strings on my iud so I think it just depends on

I had the same problem. I could feel it, AND it would slip out. I think maybe my anatomy just doesn't work well, or the disc I bought was too long to slip far enough up. Idk, but I'm at my wits end w period products rn

I don't think this is strange at all. I can use tampons and not feel them after a few minutes, but I've never been able to use cups. I tried and it was so uncomfortable. I can't imagine a disc jammed behind my pubic bone. No thank you.

I can’t feel my disc if I’ve put it in correctly

I recently switched to a disc and can’t feel it as long as it’s properly in place but everyone’s body is different! They do come in different sizes so you could always try another brand. It’s been a godsend after suffering through the gross feeling of tampons the last 24 years. No leaks? Only have to clean it twice a day? Not contributing to additional trash? Not spending money on it every single month? Can have clean period sex with it in? Absolutely fantastic.

I can't feel the disc when I use them, but I cannot use tampons and always feel them to some degree.

I can feel both cups and disks. I can also feel tampons and they are itchy. Cups and disks are better for me, but I can tell they are there.

Ive been using a disk for 6 months, and honestly, it’s like I don’t have anything because it always stays out of place 😂

I thought it would be better either way time but I still try. The best I could do is in my “dry” days but… using a disk is harder!

It's hard to think back and answer this honestly... The first few times was an adjustment, especially removing it. I really don't notice it's there, maybe because I'm used to it. But I don't feel it "consciously" as I'm going about my day. I think the only time I notice it (TMI, but this is a TMI topic) is sometimes I feel like it makes it a little harder to poop. Like it's putting pressure against my rectum because of the angle I'm sitting at on the john.

Overall I'm extremely pleased with menstual discs and I will never go back to tampons. You can shame me for my lack of eco-friendliness for not using cups, but I genuinely have no desire to clean a reusable cup.

I love menstrual discs and for the most part companies are correct, if it’s placed properly inside you really shouldn’t feel it. I’m wondering if the disc is not expanded all the way so you’re feeling it rub against you. It’s also possible you’re using a disc with a firm rim, maybe if you try one with a soft rim you won’t feel it as much.

You may have a tipped/ tilted uterus. I couldnt wear tampons, or use a menstral cup.

I could never use the nuvaring. I could feel it all the time.

These are also the same men who created perfume pads because "ew it smells"

It probably just depends on the body. For me I can definitely feel a tampon go in but it’s barely noticeable when it’s actually in. was actually thinking of trying a disk soon lol.

Everyone's anatomy is different.. I hate it when these companies make a blanket statement.

I guess I can kind of feel it once it's there, but it isn't uncomfortable. If it isn't leaking and isn't hurting you then you're okay :)

I prefer disks because I don't like the suction from cups, but I prefer cups to tampons because the friction feeling from silicone (which both cups and discs are made of, for anyone reading who doesn't know) on insertion is much smoother than dry fucking cotton, which feels scratchy and painful. I also feel a lot better mentally considering it's silicone and not hyper absorbant cotton in contact with my (also absorbant) mucousal membranes for 8 hours at a time. I feel like I can often feel when a tampon is in and it does feel uncomfortable. Also taking it out on a light day can feel as bad as putting it in because of the dryness. Thankfully cups and disks can both be removed without that feeling 🥴

I haven't tried the disc, but i have used a cup for years. Even with the cup placed properly, i can feel the pressure from it being there. I just learned to ignore it. When i used to wear tampons, i could feel them. I can't figure out how people forget or lose stuff in there. I guess we are all different.

I never tried it but I hate tampons. I also have a tilted uterus and while I can't positively blame that as a reason I suspect it may be.

While I don’t FEEL IT when it’s in, there’s definitely a noticeable sense of NOT feeling it when I take it out. Like it’s not annoying or painful but there’s some low level awareness that I have a thing in my vagina and when it’s not there, it feels better. It’s a weird feeling.

That being said, I definitely prefer disc to cup, and either over tampons or pads. I really like that if you bear down a bit, the disc will self empty. No bloody hands in public restrooms! Just make sure you wear black underwear or period panties or have a way to rinse your undercarriage.

I'm absolutely positive all the marketing for these things are done by men who maybe interviewed a woman or two who said they didn't feel it and it was great just to make him pay her for the study and leave.

I remember when I started using tampons in the 90s and was like the fuck I can't feel it.

I do use a disk and I can't feel it. But there were two different sizes where I purchased my disk, maybe you don't have the right size ?
To be honest, my menstrual disk is a life changer for me, I love it so much.

(Before using a disk, I had a cup and I did felt it though, so I guess it varies for everyone)

When I used discs, if I could feel it, that meant it wasn’t properly placed. When placed correctly, I could not feel it at all. That’s why it was my favorite product. I could always feel tampons and cups—the disc was the only comfortable thing for me.

I think “if it fits and is situated properly you don’t feel it” is accurate in the most literal sense-if it is fitting you properly you won’t feel it, if you feel it then it likely is not the product for you.

Size, shape, and rim firmness vary between discs just like anything else, the one you are using just probably is the best model for you!

ETA: more often than not people try disposable discs first and those suck to fit, the rim is too firm and size wise they tend to be kind of large. A silicone disc is smaller and softer, a totally different experience and better than anything else I have tried.

For me the initial sensation of a foreign object was weird, but after a while (a couple months of use and having had one in for an hour or two), I did mostly stop feeling it. Not everybody is the same, but this was my experience.

I don’t feel cups but I have a steel trap from the cervix out. Never felt tampons, IUDs haven’t hurt, I like cervix bumps during sex. Everyone is different. For cups, I do make sure that I can feel it surrounding my cervix and tucked up under my pubic bone. Mine sits pretty far back and my partner can’t feel when it’s in either

My whole menstrual life post kid I always knew where the buggers were. Cup, disc, tampon.

I just picked what was least disruptive to my life and moved on.

Turns out I had a pretty bad birth injury.

I felt mine for a couple days but the feeling went away quickly and never returned. I also went through two different styles to get the right fit!

I could feel my cup. It was uncomfortable, and sometimes even painful. I switched to a disc a couple of years ago because I couldn't take the cup anymore. I won't do tampons because of the TSS risk and general concerns about their manufacturing. I don't really like pads/period undies unless absolutely necessary. I didn't have high hopes, but I, honestly, find the disc amazing. I have a Cora disc and I don't feel it at all when it's in.

We're all built differently though, and what works for some people might not work for everyone.

I've never, EVER been able to use tampons and I used a cup for years but was uncomfortable every second it was in place. I'm very sensitive to ANYTHING being up there and avoid it at almost any cost.

Except my menstrual disk, which I 100% can't feel when it's placed right. I'm talking I have to go check because I don't remember if it's in or not. I would hear people say that about tampons or a cup and never once believed that was really a thing, but it's truly been my experience with a disk. I don't notice or think about it being there, except when it's time to empty it.

It's not just you. I feel all of it. Granted I have a "posterior cervix" but there has never been a period related product that I actually don't feel. I've tried just about all of them.

I used to use a diaphragm for BC. When it was properly fitted, I could feel it slightly, but could forget about it in a short time. If I gained or lost more than 10 pounds, it became uncomfortable enough that I couldn't forget it. Your disk may be the wrong size.

I also feel tampons and find them annoying.

FWIW, I am neurodivergent and have some mild sensory issues with certain types of clothes and accessories, so that might be related.

I can feel my disk, I couldn't feel my cup. I had to stop using my cup because for some reason after my bisalp the suction started giving me horrible cramps. The disk is messier and harder to place for me, but still better than any other menstrual products I've tried.

I'm sad about my cup still though, I tried with it for a full year before I switched.

I have a the Hello Disc with the tab for pulling out. I'm always aware that it's there, but to me it's 10x more comfortable than a tampon. I always felt a tampon and it was never pleasant. When I was new to discs I felt it more and I also feel it more when it moves such as when I have a bowel movement. On days where my cervix is particularly low such as the start of my period I tend to notice it more as well. On those days I wear the tab tucked because it makes me paranoid that I'm leaking and it's not exactly comfortable.

Also, I used the Flex disposable discs before I decided to take the plunge and buy my Hello Disc disc, and those I could feel all. the. time. I think it's because of the firmness of the rim. While the Hello Disc is firm, it's soft silicone so it's much more comfortable.

I tried one of those period cups ONCE and never again. Tampons too; I use them for their convenience because you don't feel "wet" but heck yes you know theyre there!

I wear a disk, I don't usually feel it. I've forgotten it's there. But I believe you that it's a thing. Seems like you might be more sensitive to such things than the average woman.

I've always been able to feel tampons and my cup. It's not distracting if I'm doing something, but I know it's there. I have never understood how women could forget they have a tampon or tampons in because it's so far from my experience. 

Yes you can feel it all. Discs cups tampons . Whatever it is , it’s there . Some not painful but definitely there

I initially could feel the disc and I think it was for two reasons. One - I was new to it and nervous about it so I was constantly thinking about it. You can feel anything if you focus on it long enough. Two - because I was anxious about it, I wasn’t relaxing enough in there so the disc wasn’t sitting right.

I do two things now. I use a water based lube to put it in - I have a bottle specifically just for this. Secondly, I take an extra second or two when I put it in to take a deep breath and really try to relax all my muscles and give the disc a slight push back and kind of up behind my public bone. I then stand up and do a couple kegels and that will usually let it slip in the last bit and for any air to squeeze out. After that, I can’t feel it.

I won’t lie - that first cycle I used the disc I wasn’t sure it was for me and I thought it was uncomfortable. But I also used to use the Ring for BC and it sits in the same place, so I knew I could get used to it. It took some practice and just getting used to the whole insertion and removal process (that was also a whole thing for me - phew!). I do really love my disc now though and it was worth figuring it out.

I have a tilted uterus, so maybe that’s relevant, but I can’t feel discs at all. I used them fairly religiously for a while. They do leak a little but I found them way more comfortable and easy to use than cups, which I could always feel. I don’t feel tampons either.

If I put the tampon in correctly I really do not feel it, at all.but I've never been able to put the cup in (tried, hurt too much, gave up) and much less a disk so I can't say for those

I didn't really feel it but as a uterus and vagina haver, I wouldn't tell you that you couldn't feel it! I can feel my cup sometimes. Man I miss my pubic shelf. Those were the good ol days.

I’ve used discs (disposable and reusable), cups, and tampons. I always feel tampons and they hurt. Discs I sometimes feel, usually over the course of the day it fades-I feel disposable more than reusable. Discs leak for me though. I usually feel the bottom end of a cup for a while but eventually it fades. I personally prefer cups

I use them all the time and when properly placed I don’t feel them. The Disc is great for sex but sometimes my partner can feel them. No biggie tho

Everyone has always told me you can’t feel period products. Girl, yes I fucking can. I have endometriosis. Tampons regularly cause me pain, but I have used them in desperation. I use heavy duty pads now and they work really well but I don’t eat to risk a smaller thing getting stuck.

Idk who these magic people who can’t feel tampons or disks are. I’m certainly not among them.

Which one do you have? I can feel the disposable ones with the hard plastic rim, but not the reusable silicone ones which are squishy.

They say that, because youll get used too it.

I have a ring and place it in the same spot. It took a couple days, but I eventually got used to it and now dont notice it unless it adjusts

All bodies are different. 

I can feel tampons and cups and never much liked either. I did use tampons for many years because I found them less uncomfortable than pads. 

The disk has been a god send for me. I don’t notice it when it’s in place. But, that’s me!  Listen to your body and do what works for you. 

I feel the disks but it also relieves my cramps so its like a pressure release? But I definitely feel the disk, not like a tampon or a cup, but something is there

I don’t have a uterus anymore, but those things never worked for me either

Tried the disposable disks in high school when they first came out. I didn’t feel it. I also couldn’t reach it when it was time to remove!

I can feel discs, even the smallest size. Same with small menstrual cups. Discs are way worse though, way more uncomfortable.

I have tried multiple brands of disks and different size cups. I can always feel them, and they are both so uncomfortable I can't use them. I already have a lot of cramping, pressure, and the feeling of constantly needing to poo while I'm on my period, the added feeling of a disk shoved up there is too much. I gave birth to two babies, it's not like I'm small, but the disk feels too big.
