I have been converted.

Alexa, play “Differences” by Ginuwine. MY WHOLE LIFE HAS CHANGED!

I was on night one of my cycle at my partner’s house, and I decided to try out the disposable softdiscs just to see what the hype was about (I bought disposable until I felt comfortable committing to reusable).

I've worn super tampons with a backup pad my whole adult life, and have definitely felt more in control with the routine and products I used. However, I wanted to try something new.

While taking my evening shower I popped one in, pushed it all the way back, and did the thumb trick to tilt and secure behind my pubic bone. I finished my shower and got out feeling hopeful. I put on my PJs and my handy-dandy backup pad JIC. I am heavy nights 1-3.

Woke up in the morning and felt like I leaked (which I kind've expected since it was my first time and I was heavy). Went to the bathroom... NO LEAKS. I even self dumped while using the restroom just to practice before I removed.

Removal was messy but I will get the hang of it as I go. Cheers to day 1 and beyond!

TLDR: No leaks on my first try sleeping with my reusable softdisc!
