Softdisc (formerly Instead Softcup) is the leak-proof, swim-proof, sleep-proof alternative to tampons, pads, and menstrual cups. Easy-to-use and comfortable to wear, Softdisc gives you 12 hours of freedom during your period. Softdisc catches fluid at the base of the cervix naturally eliminating menstrual odor and preventing irritation and dryness. Softdisc can be comfortably worn overnight, during exercise, and even during intercourse. Hypoallergenic and free of phthalates, BPA and natural latex, Softdisc is safe to wear for 12 hours and is not linked to TSS. Designed to work for both heavy and light periods, Softdisc holds the equivalent of 5 tampons and comes with discreet bags for on-the-go disposal.

Q: How well does it work if you have heavy flow? Will I have to replace it more often than the 12 hours indicated?

submitted by MrsTorres99 - 7 years ago
  • A: I'd say yes but it all depends on you. I usually change it every 8 hours on my heavier days and so far it seems to work. Or you can just empty it more frequently without changing it. Hope this helps because these are worth the try.

    submitted byCristy - 7 years ago
  • A: OMG. Do not reuse these. Cristy says to "empty it ... without changing it." No no no! From the instructions, "Never reuse Instead, since doing so may expose you to the risk of v*ginal infection." (this form won't let me use that word with the "a" in it). FWIW, I use them for 12 hours even on my heaviest days. If they are very full, though, and your muscles push it out of place (like with a sneeze) they could shift so that they leak ... so if you're super heavy, you might want to change it more often. I have only had one leak (because of a sneeze) once in the ~15 years I've been using them.

    submitted byAM in California - 6 years ago
  • A: On my heaviest day, mine leak every single time, so I used to wear a panty liner as backup. Now, I use organic cotton tampons on my one heavy day/night so I don't have to worry about leakage. When I'm not home, I don't want to think about changing these in a public restroom since you should wash your hands BEFORE removing & inserting a new one. Don't get me wrong; every other day of my period, I love these!

    submitted byDoc - 6 years ago
  • A: If you bear down you can “empty” it without removing it, whenever you go to the bathroom on heavy days. You just have to make sure it’s in place again after.

    submitted byJane - 6 years ago
  • A: On my heavy days I change it every 8 hours. Still way better than every 3-4 with tampons & pads. If you do not insert it all the way in it will leak. A lot of negative reviewers say it leaked even though they are confident they put it in correctly. You cannot just stick it in and up behind the P bone. The best way I know how to describe it is, push it all the way in until it feels like your V swallowed it. People also complain that it is too hard to remove. It is if you do not push it out with your muscles. You have to bear down like you are pushing to go to the bathroom. This will empty some if the menses too so its less messy when you pull it out. Keep it level and pull out, almost upwards. Using nitrile or latex gloves and baby wipes helps with cleanup. (I am disappointed in Target for not allowing the V or P word to be used. Its a body part, not inappropriate language.)

Q: These are not reusable, correct?

submitted by MadamMuah - 7 years ago
  • A: Softdisc is not reusable. After 12 hours of wear, remove the disc, dispose of it, and only insert a new one.

    submitted bySoftdisc - 5 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: NO. These are NOT reusable. No. No. No. Emma3457 is giving BAD info. From the packaging, "Never reuse Instead, since doing so may expose you to the risk of v*ginal infection." (the form won't let me use that word with the "a" in place and says my answer contains inappropriate language, haha.)

    submitted byAM in California - 6 years ago
  • A: Correct. But people reuse them on the same day.

    submitted byEmma3457 - 7 years ago

Q: It says you can use them during s*x, will the guy feel it inside you?

submitted by Interested - 6 years ago
  • A: Softdisc is safe to wear during intercourse and comfortable for both you and your partner because, the disc sits in the vaginal fornix and collects menstrual fluid directly from the base of the cervix. As a result of that, the vaginal canal is free of obstruction. The vagina expands and elongates during arousal as well as intercourse, so if the disc is inserted properly, neither partner should be able to feel the disc.

Q: can you wear this when riding a horse without it leaking or spilling? I have to do at least 2-3 horses a day and my pad always ends up tearing.

submitted by se - 5 years ago
  • A: Yes! We actually have many users who ride horses and use Softdisc with success! You just need to make sure the disc is in place fully covering the cervix.

    Brand expert

Q: Is it easy to remove as well as inserting it.

submitted by Dee - 6 years ago
  • A: Hi Dee! Both insertion and removal of the disc is much easier than it may seem. To insert Softdisc, you'd pinch the disc and push it down and back into the vaginal fornix. For removal, with a clean finger you'd just bear down a bit, reach in and pull the disc out. We have tons of information available on our website and your discs always come with a set of instructions. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our awesome Customer Support team at hello@flexfits.com. :)

Longer lasting clothes - 14 days ago, Verified purchaser
Been using this brand for over 20 years when it was called Instead. It took some getting used to but I’ve been hooked since and shared it with many friends over the years who at least used it for the intercourse benefits. I use a thin pad or panty liner on lighter days for security but rarely bc the cup failed me. Some periods that are a bit more perimenopausal i.e. unpredictable and super heavy, I need a couple pads and the cup to make it through those changes happening. Glad it’s here for me during this time too. I called their help line when I started which was staffed with nurses way back then and got tips and the help I needed. Hopefully they have some of the same help now.

I can’t use these the first day of my cycle when I’m heaviest, but I use them every night and every day after that. One cup in the morning, take it out at night and swap for a new one. No leaks. NO CRAMPS. Absolutely life changing. I used a reusable cup but after having my 2nd baby, I can’t get a full size regular cup in so I stick with these

these are fantastic!! i’ve only ever used pads but these are so much better. i use them all day at work and it’s so refreshing not having to worry about getting to breaks on time to change pads or tampons. i have not had issues with leaks at all, and a quick tutorial on inserting was all i needed! it’s mostly by feel but you know when it pops into place. i love that it does not suction like the silicone cups. however it is quite messy to remove so at home would be best, but the 12 hour wear time allows for that! i honestly wish i knew about these sooner!

Treeny Cakes - 4 months ago
I have been using flex, I've used both disposable and reusable and they work flawlessly. My friend gave me these because she said they leaked and she gave up. I figured she was inserting them wrong and happily took them. No, they suck. Three times today, including right after emptying it, it leaked....a lot. They are smaller than the flex which may be the problem.

Nice cheaper alternative to flex discs

JF - 4 months ago
These are pretty great for someone who already likes menstrual discs. Makes my period feel non existent for the most part but I do feel like I experience more leaks with these discs then the flex discs unfortunately, however these are much cheaper and softer and great if you’re in a pinch. I overall find them a little more comfortable too.

These are my go to! I unfortunately can’t use any disc the first day of my period due to how low my lady parts are inside and just cant hook it behind but for the rest of my period days it works great and I can use it the full 12 hours. It does auto dump when using the bathroom but I prefer that since my periods are so heavy the first few days.

I really wanted to love these. I want to get away from using tampons, and I hate the feeling of bl**d when using a pad. I put the first one in to sleep in. (Day one of period.) I woke up a few hours later and I had leaked completely through. I thought perhaps I didn’t have it in right or just couldn’t sleep with it in. So I put one in this morning before work. I have a 30 minute drive to work. By the time I got there and stood up out of my car, I felt a gush! I had period panties on, thank goodness. When I went to the restroom, I couldn’t quite reach it and had bl**d running down my arm. It was awful. I just had to leave it in and put a pad on. I don’t see how anyone with heavy periods can use these.

This product is definitely a game changer. I tried these disposables before buying a reusable one just to see if I like it. I did a lot of research on insertion and it took some getting used to but I’m getting the hang of it. There was some spotting at first but that was just because I didn’t know how to position it correctly yet. I will never be going back to tampons!
