Do not use your Disc before sterilising it.
Refer to this page, a little further down, in the cleaning section to find out how to do it.
At first, combine your Disc with period underwear or another external protection: this will avoid small accidents while you find the right placement, and allow you to calmly verify that everything is properly in place and leak-free.
Practice handling outside of your period (with a little water to ease insertion).
This will help you feel more comfortable when the time comes, even though sensations may differ during menstruation.
Before handling your Disc, wash your hands thoroughly: this is essential for your intimate safety.
Fold the Disc in 2, which will be easy thanks to the notch.
Insert into your vagina towards the back, starting with the notch: the back of the Disc will position itself behind the cervix, in the fornix (or posterior fornix).
Then place your finger in the MoonDropet and push it up so that it positions itself at the front on the pubic bone: the Disc should now be horizontal, and it is naturally held in place in your body.
Remove your Disc only above the toilet or in the shower, as it will tilt when you remove it.
Insert a finger into your vagina, palm facing forward. Place it in the MoonDrop, make a small backward then forward movement to release your Disc from behind your pubic bone.
Then remove by sliding towards the opening of your vagina.
1. Empty your Disc
You can empty it in the toilet or in the shower.
2. Simply rinse with drinking water
Cold water is sufficient! It limits staining, unlike hot water which can set the colour of blood.
3. If you use a cleanser
Choose a product suitable for use with a menstrual cup. Avoid regular soaps or shower gels, whose pH is not appropriate.
An intimate cleanser with a pH between 4 and 6 is suitable, but the ideal option remains La Mousse Luneale, tested specifically for medical-grade silicone. Simply remember to rinse thoroughly after use.
4. If you don't have access to water
Opt for Le Cleaner, our portable device inspired by Japanese toilets, which allows you to clean your Disc anywhere (practical at school, at work or while travelling)
Between periods, you need to disinfect/sterilise your menstrual disc.
If you wish to use the disc immediately after boiling it, run it under cold water: platinum silicone has high thermal inertia, so it will quickly return to the right temperature. Otherwise, place it in its case until your next use.
If you cannot use either of these 2 methods (for example whilst travelling), you can also use a cold sterilisation tablet (like those for baby bottles) following the manufacturer's instructions.
Immerse the Disc for 5 minutes in a saucepan of boiling water.
Place the Disc in a glass container filled with water then place it in the microwave for 5 minutes.
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is an extremely rare but serious and potentially fatal illness.
This syndrome can occur in men, women and children. It is caused by a toxin produced by bacteria (called staphylococcus aureus) that live on or in the human body – usually in the nose, respiratory tract or on the skin.
The conditions under which staphylococcus aureus produces this toxin are still unknown, and most people are naturally immune to it. However, since a minority are not immune, it is important to provide you with clear information, as half of cases occur during menstruation.
Given the potential severity of TSS, it must be detected and treated quickly.
It can resemble in many ways a sudden flu, with symptoms that don't necessarily all appear at once: high fever (39° or higher), headache or sore throat, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, fainting, muscle pain or rashes that resemble sunburn.
If you have had TSS in the past, you must consult your doctor before using internal protection again (tampons, cups, discs)
We recommend using a disc size that corresponds to your flow and ensuring you respect a maximum wearing time of 6 hours at a time.
We also invite you to wash your hands thoroughly before handling your disc, as staphylococcus aureus is often found on the skin.
No direct link between discs and TSS has yet been demonstrated, but we are convinced that accurate information on proper conditions of use will enable you to use your disc safely.
