The best menstrual discs at a glance

Seven brands, seven personalities. Here you can see the three top-ranked products at a glance: what each lens can do, which profile it suits, and how much it costs. Detailed tests of all seven brands (including places 4 through 7) follow below.

This is how we tested

For this comparison, we didn’t rely on marketing claims. We evaluated seven brands based on seven criteria : size selection, capacity, material quality, return policy, warranty, price, and availability on the German market. In addition, we analyzed Trustpilot reviews, user reports in forums like r/Weibsvolk, and official recommendations from Apotheken Umschau, Pharmazeutische Zeitung, and the BMJ study by Oregon Health & Science University (DeLoughery et al., 2023, with an average capacity of 61 ml). The results are shown in the ranking below.

The 7 best menstrual discs in individual comparison

1. Cup&Co: Best menstrual disc overall

Cup&Co is our overall winner for three reasons. First, the double-ring retrieval tab is unique on the German market. You can choose between a model with this adjustable tab (two rings that can be adjusted, shortened, or folded) or without a tab for maximum comfort. Second, the price-performance ratio. For €42.90, you get one free , which is about €21 per disc – the best value premium option in the test. Third, the silicone is exceptionally soft, something sensitive users will notice immediately.

In addition, there’s a genuine 90-day money-back guarantee (even for size changes) and responsive customer service. With a 4.5/5 star rating on Trustpilot (over 100 reviews), the brand enjoys an excellent reputation among users.

Strengths: only brand with adjustable double ring tab, buy 1+1 free (around €21 per disc), 90-day money-back guarantee even for size changes, extra-soft medical-grade silicone (hypoallergenic, BPA-free), Trustpilot 4.5/5 with over 100 reviews, optionally available as a disposable version.

Weaknesses: not listed in drugstores or pharmacies, shipping from France (2 to 4 working days).

Ideal for: anyone who wants a flexible solution and doesn’t want to choose between a tab or a flat profile.

2. OmyDisc: Best choice for beginners

OmyDisc comes in second place with a clear lead in the beginner segment . The brand specializes in one promise: success for the very first attempt. For €44.90, they offer two sizes (S 61 mm and M 68 mm, buy one, get one free), a permanently integrated retrieval tab , and, upon request, a complete package with applicator and sterilizer. Those who have never worn a disc before will find this the easiest option.

The silicone is slightly firmer than that of Cup&Co, which has two consequences: it’s more durable, but users with sensitive skin might notice the difference during insertion. The 90-day guarantee works exactly the same as with Cup&Co: size exchange or refund is possible, hassle-free.

Strengths: Twin pack S+M with 1+1 free, permanently integrated retrieval tab (great for beginners), 90-day money-back guarantee, optional complete package with applicator and sterilizer, also available as a disposable version.

Weaknesses: Silicone is slightly firmer than Cup&Co, not available at DM, Rossmann or in pharmacies.

Ideal for: Beginners who want a guided start and value easy removal.

3. FemDisc: Best German brand with a large community

FemDisc is the only major brand that prominently features „Made in Germany“ as a key selling point. Those who value short delivery routes and local production will find a solid choice here: a choice of with or without a tab (basic model), a „buy 1 + 1 free“ offer, plus two free disposable discs per order. With over 4,000 Trustpilot reviews (4.4/5) , FemDisc has the largest community in the test.

The catch: there’s no real money-back guarantee. The reusable disc can only be returned within 60 days, and only if it’s unused. For a product that absolutely needs to be tried out, this is a clear disadvantage compared to Cup&Co and OmyDisc.

Strengths: made in Germany with short delivery routes, choice between model with or without (simple) tab, largest community in comparison with 4.4/5 on Trustpilot with over 4,000 reviews, promotion 1+1 free plus 2 disposable discs free.

Weaknesses: no real test guarantee (only unused returns within 60 days), no applicator in the product range, premium price between €45 and €53.

Ideal for: anyone who values ​​a German brand and a large base of experience.

4. Bamboozy: Best entry-level price

Bamboozy offers the best value package in the test: around €25 for two sizes (S 65 mm, L 70 mm) plus a silicone storage case. The silicone is sturdy, and the shape is a classic round design without any flaps or indentations. Its Trustpilot rating is 3.9/5 based on over 400 reviews, which is a solid average.

The compromise is clear: no guarantee, no starter kit with applicator, no retrieval tab. Anyone who has never handled a disc before will need more patience here than with Cup&Co or OmyDisc.

Strengths: best entry-level price in comparison (around €25), two sizes included in the pack, silicone storage case included, Trustpilot 3.9/5 with more than 400 reviews.

Weaknesses: no return tab, no warranty, additional shipping costs depending on the region.

Ideal for: experienced users who already know their size and simply want to try a second brand.

5. Selenacare: The only one in the DM product range

Selenacare is the only brand in the test that you can physically buy at DM . At around €12 to €13, it’s also the cheapest option on the market. The Austrian brand (distributed in Germany via DM) uses medical-grade silicone, is hypoallergenic and BPA-free, and comes in two sizes (S 55 mm, M 65 mm). Size S, at 55 mm, is the smallest in the entire comparison, ideal for a very low cervix.

The workmanship isn’t quite as polished as with Cup&Co or OmyDisc: a visible seam is noticeable around the anti-leak edge. However, a fabric pouch and clear instructions are included. No warranty, no retrieval tab, and no applicator.

Strengths: physically available at DM (immediate purchase possible), lowest price in comparison (12 to 13 €), smallest size S with 55 mm (ideal for low cervix), medical silicone and hypoallergenic.

Weaknesses: visible seam edge around the rim, no retrieval tab and no applicator, no guarantee.

Ideal for: anyone who wants to buy quickly, cheaply and locally, or with a low cervix.

6. Ziggy Cup 2: The only oval shape

The Intimina Ziggy Cup 2 is the only brand in the test with an oval shape . Size B measures 73 mm and holds a generous 76 ml, the largest volume of all the cups tested. Ideal for hypermenorrhea (very heavy menstrual bleeding) or a high cervix. The oval design sits closer to the pubic bone, making it easier to insert if your anatomy is suitable.

No tab, no applicator, no guarantee. Ziggy is aimed at experienced users who know that the oval shape suits them. International brand, also available in some brick-and-mortar stores.

Strengths: only oval menstrual disc in the comparison, very high capacity (76 ml in size B), international brand and partially available in stores.

Weaknesses: no tab and no applicator, no money-back guarantee, oval shape does not fit every anatomy.

Ideal for: experienced users with a high cervix or very heavy bleeding.

7. Cosmundi: pure Made in Germany

Cosmundi is the only brand in the test that actually manufactures its discs in Germany . While FemDisc positions itself as a German brand, Cosmundi goes even further, emphasizing its complete production in Germany, including its CO2 footprint. The design is minimalist and deliberately free of notches, tabs, or rings , making cleaning extremely easy: no hiding places for bacteria.

Two sizes are available (Small 65 mm, Regular 70 mm), priced around €20 to €25 including shipping. The silicone is somewhat stiffer than that used by Cup&Co. Cosmundi is primarily known for hairbrushes; the menstrual disc is a secondary product, which is reflected in the less prominent brand community.

Strengths: actually made in Germany, minimalist design without indentations (easy to clean), affordable (20 to 25 €), short delivery routes and good CO2 balance.

Weaknesses: Silicone is somewhat stiff, no retrieval tab and no applicator, no guarantee, brand not specialized in menstrual products.

Ideal for: environmentally conscious users with a preference for local production and easy care.

Buying criteria: what you should pay attention to

A menstrual disc fits differently than a tampon and a menstrual cup. You can find the right model for you by answering these five questions.

How high is your cervix?

This is the most important point, much more important than your build. Insert a clean finger into the vaginal canal until you feel the cervix (a soft, slightly wrinkled cushion). One finger joint: low, small size (S or Small). Two finger joints: medium, S or M will fit. Three finger joints: high, you need a larger disc (M, L, Regular, or B). If in doubt: go for the double pack from Cup&Co or OmyDisc.

With or without a tab.

The retrieval tab makes removal easier, especially when putting the disc on. Cup&Co offers the only adjustable double-ring tab on the market (you can shorten it, fold it, or cut it off completely). OmyDisc comes with a permanently integrated tab, while FemDisc has a simple tab as an option. Bamboozy, Selenacare, Ziggy, and Cosmundi do without a tab altogether.

Material and compatibility

All brands tested here use medical-grade silicone, which is hypoallergenic and BPA-free . Pay attention to the data sheet: no TPE, no plasticizers, and no non-food-grade dyes. Users with sensitive skin should opt for Cup&Co (especially soft) or Cosmundi (made in Germany, without indentations).

Guarantee as a safety net

A 90-day guarantee is invaluable for first-time users. You can test for two to three cycles risk-free. Only Cup&Co and OmyDisc offer this guarantee. FemDisc accepts returns of unused discs within 60 days; all other brands (Bamboozy, Selenacare, Ziggy, Cosmundi) do not offer a guarantee.

Value for money over 10 years

A reusable disc can last up to ten years with proper care. Factor in the investment accordingly. Selenacare is the absolute lowest price at €12 to €13, Cup&Co beats the premium segment with a 1+1 free offer (around €21 per disc), and FemDisc is the most expensive option at €45 to €53.

Menstrual disc vs. menstrual cup: The difference

Both are reusable, both made of medical-grade silicone. The crucial difference is their anatomical position .

A menstrual cup sits in the vaginal canal and is held in place by suction. A menstrual disc sits higher in the vaginal fornix , directly in front of the cervix, hooked behind the pubic bone. This position has three measurable consequences:

• More capacity. A BMJ study by Oregon Health & Science University (DeLoughery et al., 2023) measured with real blood: discs hold an average of 61 ml, cups between 20 and 50 ml.
• Sex remains possible. Because the disc sits above the vaginal canal, penetrative sex is possible during menstruation. A menstrual cup must be removed beforehand.
• The spiral is not a problem. The disc works without suction. There is absolutely no risk of pulling on the spiral’s threads when removing it. The Apotheken Umschau (Pharmacy Review) confirms this.

Where the cup is positioned at the front: removal is usually cleaner thanks to its suction cup. That’s why Cup&Co and OmyDisc developed their retrieval tab.

Application in 7 steps

1. Wash your hands. Before every insertion and removal, without exception.
2. Sterilize for the first time. Three to five minutes in boiling water or in a steam sterilizer.
3. Eightfold. Fold the disc so that only half of the edge points forward.
4. Insert. While sitting, squatting, or with one leg raised. Gently slide the disc downwards and backwards towards the tailbone.
5. Hook it in behind the pubic bone. Use your finger to push the front edge upwards and backwards until it clicks into place.
6. Wear for a maximum of 12 hours, then empty (safety limit against Toxic Shock Syndrome).
7. Remove. Squat over the toilet, grasp the rim with a finger or using the tab, and pull the disc horizontally downwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which menstrual disc is the best?

What size do I need?

The size depends on the height of your cervix. Low (one finger joint): small size (S, Small, or A). Medium (two finger joints): S or M. High (three finger joints): M, L, Regular, or B. If in doubt: order a twin pack from Cup&Co or OmyDisc and try both sizes.
