Since 2021, since our sustainable menstrual product brand Femi.Eko was launched, we have shared with you and together embraced a new perspective on menstruation. No, menstruation is not about the fear of staining yourself, bad smell or germs. Menstruation is a normal, natural process through which your body tells you that you are a healthy and fertile woman.
One of the sustainable products with the Femi.Eko signature that we are proud of and which is on the "bestseller" list - along with the menstrual panties , the reusable pad and the menstrual sponge - is the menstrual disc. Why? Because it fits any menstrual flow, it is compatible with every woman's physiognomy, regardless of the height of the cervix, it can also be used if you have an IUD, and last but not least, you can have sex while wearing it.
Menstrual discs represent an important leap in the world of feminine hygiene, bringing a number of significant benefits and positive changes in terms of sexuality and the conception process. These devices are an ally for hygiene during the menstrual period, but also a surprising partner in intimacy, capable of profoundly transforming the couple's experiences. Did you know that you can have sex without problems while wearing the menstrual pad ? Let's find out how things are in detail in this article!
What are the benefits of the menstrual disc?
- Use up to 12 hours. The advantages of the menstrual disc are several, and the first is the long period in which you can use it – up to 12 hours. Then you take it out, empty it of menstrual blood, rinse it and put it back in.
- Complete freedom of movement. In addition, it gives the freedom to practice any kind of sport, from swimming to yoga, without feeling discomfort.
- Can be worn during sex. The novelty that the menstrual disc brings to sexuality is truly revolutionary. The disc can be worn safely during intercourse. If the extraction ring rotates, it can be easily adjusted by pushing with the pelvic muscles and twisting with a finger until it returns to the optimal clamping position. Note though, it does not work as a birth control method!
- It can also be used if you have an IUD. Femi.Eko menstrual discs are compatible with the spiral and thus offer a new menstrual protection alternative for women who have chosen this form of contraception. Unlike the cup, the disk can be used without problems even if you have an IUD, as it does not create a vacuum.
- Menstrual disc – a possible aid in the conception process. Surprisingly, menstrual pads have become a solution that is currently also used for fertilization. When trying to get pregnant, many women choose to place the sperm in the disk and pass it into the vagina and place it under the cervix. Although there are no scientific studies to validate this practice at this time, the use of menstrual pads for this purpose has become increasingly popular among women.
Therefore, menstrual pads are not only an innovative variant of menstrual protection, but also a tool that can bring more comfort and intimacy to the couple and can act as a potential aid in the conception process. This development shows how far technology can progress and how it can affect all aspects of our lives, including the most intimate.
Sex on your period while wearing a menstrual pad? Yes yes Yes!
Menstrual pads add a level of comfort and freedom of movement during the menstrual period, and this can have a big impact on a couple's sex life. The disk is used inside the vagina, placed behind the pubic bone, so that it is not felt at all during sex.
Many couples have reported an improvement in their sexual experience during their period thanks to these revolutionary products. The Femi.Eko menstrual pad therefore allows a sexual act without interruptions and without worries about staining the bedclothes.
The use of menstrual pads can radically change the way couples approach sexuality during menstruation. This innovative solution can help partners enjoy intimacy at any time of the month without compromising.
Can the menstrual disc help you get pregnant?
When the dream of having a child does not come true after several attempts, frustrations and fears, often despair, arise. Couples start looking for solutions: some try hormone treatments, others use techniques such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. All of these methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and success is not always guaranteed.
The context is difficult, and therefore any solution can be satisfactory, even when it comes from unexpected directions. The Fem.Eko Menstrual Disc, a product originally designed for protection during menstruation, but which at the same time helps to improve comfort during menstrual sex, seems to offer a surprising answer to the challenges of the conception process.
Menstrual disc is foldable and easy to use and can be worn for up to 12 hours. As I said, although its main purpose is to collect menstrual flow, it is starting to be used in an innovative way by couples trying to conceive. By placing the sperm in the disc before it is introduced into the vagina, it is thought that the sperm is held closer to the cervix for a longer time, which can increase the chances of pregnancy.
At the moment, there is no scientific research that confirms the effectiveness of menstrual discs in conception
This technique can bring with it a wave of hope. Although scientific research confirming the effectiveness of menstrual pads in fertility is not yet available, several anecdotal reports suggest that it could be a valuable aid on the road to conception.
To understand how menstrual discs work in the context of fertilization, we need to go back a bit to basic biology. Sperm can survive in cervical mucus (the fluid secreted by the cervix) for up to 5 days. Normally, the sperm travel through the cervix during intercourse and continue to travel to the egg. By placing the sperm in the menstrual disc and passing it into the vagina, the sperm is kept closer to the cervix for longer, which could theoretically improve the chances of conception.
However, it is important to note that although the menstrual pad can be worn for up to 12 hours, it is not recommended to use it for a longer period of time to avoid the risk of infections.
What some women who have tested the conception technique with the menstrual disc say
Some online accounts from women who have tried this technique:
“We tried to get pregnant for two years. We started using the menstrual disc with hope, but with few expectations. After only three months I found out that I am pregnant" , says a mother-to-be.
Another opinion reports: “We faced fertility problems for several months. When we started using the menstrual disc, I got pregnant the next month.”
The technique involves the following simple steps:
- Make sure your hands and menstrual pad are clean.
- Insert the seed into the disc.
- Bend the disk to insert it into your vagina, the same way you use it during your period.
- Once inserted, the disc should stay in place and keep the sperm close to the cervix.
- After an appropriate time interval (but not more than 12 hours), the disc should be removed and discarded.
Please note that this technique does not guarantee pregnancy and should not replace the advice and guidance of a doctor or fertility specialist. It is only an option that can be tried in the design process.
From a medical perspective, the idea of using a menstrual pad to improve the chances of conception is an interesting technique, but not yet sufficiently researched. As previously mentioned, the theory behind this practice is that the sperm is kept closer to the cervix for a longer period of time, which could theoretically improve the chances of conception.
However, we must emphasize that the effectiveness of this technique has not yet been confirmed in scientific studies. There are numerous factors that affect a woman's fertility, including age, general health, health of the reproductive system, as well as other biological variables.
Go to the doctor! This technique should not replace treatments, consultations and opinions of fertility specialists
Practicing this method is generally considered safe, provided proper hygiene is observed and the menstrual pad is not left in the vagina for more than 12 hours.
However, we must make this very important point clear: this technique should not replace the opinion of a gynecologist or fertility specialist, especially if the partners are experiencing difficulties conceiving.
Doctors' most important recommendation is to always seek professional advice if you have problems conceiving. Each case is unique and a fertility specialist can provide you with the best advice and treatment tailored to your specific situation. Using a menstrual pad for this purpose can be just one of the methods you can try to get pregnant.
We have received several anecdotal reports suggesting that our menstrual pads have helped some women conceive. We consider it extremely important to emphasize that this technique has not yet been scientifically validated.
Using a menstrual pad in this way does not guarantee pregnancy and should not replace a specialist consultation with a doctor or fertility expert. Additionally, it is important to remember that each individual is unique and what works for one woman may not work for another.
