Period Disc Black

The Hello Disc in Black is a reusable menstrual disc moulded from USP Class VI silicone, a comfortable alternative to a cup. Instead of sealing in the vaginal canal it sits tucked behind the pubic bone, and a double looped tab at the front gives you something easy to take hold of when you remove it. It holds a generous 50 mL, measures 68 mm across the rim and comes in one size. Wear it in place of tampons or pads, emptying, rinsing and reinserting it at least every 12 hours.

Suitable For / Not Suitable For

Suitable for: Anyone managing a period who wants a reusable internal disc rather than a cup. The disc comes in one size.

Ingredients

Material: the disc is moulded from USP Class VI silicone. The Hello discs are silicone and the Hello cups are TPE, so the two are made of different materials.

There is no INCI list, because this is a moulded article rather than a formulation.

Suggested Use

Wash your hands, then pinch the rim, insert the disc and push it down and back so the rim tucks behind the pubic bone. To remove it, wash your hands, hook a finger through the double looped tab and draw it out level. Empty it, rinse it and reinsert it, at least every 12 hours. Sterilise before the first use and at the end of each cycle: boil the cup or disc for three minutes, or soak it for 15 minutes in water with a quarter of a sterilising tablet, or use a Hello steam steriliser.

Warnings

• IMPORTANT: Menstrual cups have been associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but serious disease that may cause death. Read and keep the enclosed information.
• Ensure you do not leave your cup or disc in for more than 12 hours to keep yourself safe. Empty, rinse and reinsert at least every 12 hours.
• This product is not supplied sterile. Sterilise it before the first use and again at the end of each cycle.
• Wash your hands before insertion and before removal, and keep the disc clean between uses.
• If you have had Toxic Shock Syndrome, or you are unsure whether an internal menstrual product suits you, speak to a doctor before use.
• If you have an intrauterine device, check with your own doctor before using the disc.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Storage

Wash and dry the disc after each cycle and store it clean and dry in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Replace the disc at least every five years, and straight away if it shows wear or cracks. Keep out of reach of children.
