First, you need to sterilize/wash it. Here’s how:
-Put the MD (Menstrual Disc) in a sterilizing cup.
-Fill it with hot water until the MD is submerged.
-Cover the sterilizing cup and let the MD sterilize for 10 to 15 minutes.
-Once it’s sterilized, you can insert it.
-Make sure you’re in a position such as squatting, standing with one leg raised, or sitting on the toilet.
-Next, ensure the pull tab of the MD is at the bottom.
-You can fold the MD to make insertion easier.
-Insert the MD sideways; remember, do not insert it vertically
After inserting, gently push the MD towards the back of your pubic bone. Then, relax, try to move around, and if you feel okay and comfortable, it means you’ve inserted it correctly!
You should feel comfortable if you’ve inserted it correctly. If you don’t feel comfortable, it means you’ve inserted it incorrectly. Try removing and re-inserting it.
Wearing the MD should feel comfortable. Sometimes it feels like you’re not wearing anything at all! It can last up to 12 hours.
When you’re done using it, how do you remove and wash it? It’s easy:
-Sit on the toilet and ensure you’re in the same position as when you inserted it.
-Make sure your hands are very clean, then gently pull the pull tab.
-Empty the blood from the MD into the toilet bowl.
-Wash the MD using foam wash or clean water.
Using the MD is really easy. Follow the correct steps, and you’ll be able to use it without any problems!
