How we tested

We did not rely on marketing claims alone. We compared the four brands on seven criteria: available sizes, capacity, material quality, retrieval system, guarantee, AUD price and Australian distribution. We cross-checked the 2023 BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health study by DeLoughery et al. at Oregon Health & Science University, which measured an average 61 ml capacity for menstrual discs across 21 products, well above the typical cup range. The ranking below reflects this combined analysis.

Our top 4 menstrual discs in detail

1. OmyDisc: best menstrual disc for beginners

OmyDisc removes almost every entry barrier for first-timers. The pack costs AUD $71 with two sizes (S 61 mm and M 68 mm) on a buy-one-get-one-free basis, a fixed pull tab, and a 90-day money-back guarantee covering refund or size swap.

A complete starter pack with applicator and steriliser is also available, ideal if you have never used a disc before. OmyDisc also offers a disposable version in a box of 10 (biodegradable TPU material), useful for travel, swimming or simply testing the format without committing to the reusable. The medical-grade silicone is slightly firmer than Cup&Co, so more durable but a touch less soft.

Pros: 1+1 free S+M pack (around AUD $35.50 per disc), integrated pull tab made for beginners, 90-day money-back guarantee, complete starter pack available with applicator + steriliser, disposable version available (biodegradable TPU).

Cons: ships from France (allow 5 to 8 business days), silicone slightly firmer than Cup&Co, not available at Chemist Warehouse or Woolworths.

Best for: anyone trying a menstrual disc for the first time and wanting a guided, low-risk start.

2. Cup&Co: best value with flexible tab options

Cup&Co’s standout feature: you can choose between a model with an adjustable double-ring pull tab or one without any tab at all. The double-ring tab can be trimmed, folded or removed entirely to suit your anatomy, a level of customisation no other brand in our top 4 offers. The pack runs AUD $66 with 1+1 free (mix sizes S+L, S+S or L+L), and the 90-day money-back guarantee covers refund or size swap. A complete starter pack with applicator and steriliser is also available, perfect for a first-time setup. Cup&Co also sells a disposable version in two sizes (S and L, box of 10), great for travel or as a backup.

The medical silicone is noticeably softer than OmyDisc, a clear win for sensitive users. The no-tab version sits flatter for period sex.

Pros: only brand offering a choice between adjustable double-ring tab or tabless model, 1+1 free pack (around AUD $33 per disc), 90-day money-back guarantee with size swap, very soft medical silicone (hypoallergenic, BPA-free), complete starter pack available with applicator + steriliser, disposable version available in S and L sizes.

Cons: ships from France, not listed at Chemist Warehouse or in supermarkets, no Australian-specific landing page.

Best for: anyone who wants the freedom to choose between a tab or no tab, and who values a softer silicone.

3. Hello Disc: best for buying in-store at Chemist Warehouse

Hello Disc (made by Hello Period in New Zealand) is the only brand in our top 4 you can walk into a chemist and buy off the shelf, at Chemist Warehouse and Discount Chemist (distributed via In2Pharma). Recommended price AUD $59.99, often dropped to AUD $38 to $40 in pharmacy promotions. One size (68 mm), 50 ml capacity, and a unique double-looped tab (48 mm long) for easier removal. Winner of the Good Design Awards 2022. Returns only accepted on unopened items (60 days), so inspect before opening.

Pros: available off the shelf at Chemist Warehouse and Discount Chemist, double-looped tab retrieval system (unique on the market), premium medical silicone with a smooth inner surface, New Zealand-made (short supply chain to Australia), Good Design Awards 2022 winner, four ways to wear suiting all cervix heights.

Cons: one size only, no money-back guarantee once opened (returns only on unopened items, 60 days), no S/M choice for cervix height.

Best for: buyers who want to see the product in a pharmacy before they buy, or who prefer a regional brand with chemist-grade distribution.

4. HeyZomi: best Australian-owned brand, sold at Woolworths

HeyZomi is “Australia’s first reusable menstrual disc” and the only brand in our top 4 stocked at Woolworths (in-store and online). Based in Newcastle/Byron Bay (NSW), Recommended price AUD $47 (often dropped to around AUD $33 in promotions) with a 100% money-back guarantee within 3 months, the same risk-free level as Cup&Co and OmyDisc. One size (65 mm), 52 ml capacity, patent-protected handle for easy removal, starter kit included (carry bag, lubricant sample, no-boil cleaning tablets). TGA-compliant (Australian Therapeutic Goods Act).

Pros: Australian-owned and Australian-based, only top 4 disc stocked at Woolworths, patented retrieval handle, starter kit included (carry bag, lubricant, no-boil cleaning tablets), 100% money-back guarantee within 3 months, TGA-compliant, 4 colours available. Several bundles available.

Cons: one size only, not stocked at Chemist Warehouse or Priceline.

Best for: buyers who want to support an Australian-owned brand and have the convenience of grabbing one with their groceries at Woolworths.

What to look for when buying a menstrual disc

The right disc depends on your anatomy and your habits more than on the brand. Five questions cover most of what matters.

How high is your cervix?

This is the single most important factor. Slide a clean finger into the vagina until you feel the cervix (a soft, slightly textured cushion).

One finger length: low cervix, choose a small disc (S). Two finger lengths: medium cervix, S or M works. Three finger lengths: high cervix, go for the larger size (M, L, or the only size available for one-size brands). If you are not sure, get a 1+1 free pack from OmyDisc or Cup&Co and test both sizes.

Tab or no tab?

The pull tab makes removal much easier, especially in the first few cycles. Cup&Co offers the only adjustable double-ring tab on the market (you can trim it, fold it, or cut it off entirely). OmyDisc has a fixed integrated tab. Hello Disc comes with a double-loop ribbon. HeyZomi has a patented handle. If you want the flattest profile for period sex, go for Cup&Co without the tab.

Material and tolerance

All four brands use medical-grade silicone, hypoallergenic and BPA-free. Check the spec sheet for the absence of TPE, plasticisers and non-food-grade colourants. Sensitive users tend to prefer Cup&Co for its softer feel.

Guarantee as a safety net

A 90-day money-back guarantee is gold when you try a disc for the first time. Two to three cycles is the realistic learning curve. Cup&Co, OmyDisc and HeyZomi all offer a 3-month money-back guarantee covering used discs. Hello Disc only accepts returns on unopened items within 60 days, which makes the in-store option at Chemist Warehouse a smarter way to inspect it before buying.

Price over 10 years

A reusable disc lasts up to 10 years with proper care. Calculate the investment on that horizon. Cup&Co works out cheapest per disc thanks to the 1+1 deal (around 33 AUD per disc). OmyDisc sits at around 35.50 AUD per disc with the same 1+1 mechanic. HeyZomi single-disc price is AUD $47. Hello Disc is the priciest at full price (AUD $59.99 per disc), although it often drops to AUD $38 to $40 in pharmacy promotions.

Menstrual disc vs menstrual cup: what is the difference?

Both products are reusable, both are made of medical silicone, both reduce waste. The decisive difference is anatomical placement.

A menstrual cup sits in the vaginal canal and holds in place via suction. A menstrual disc sits higher in the vaginal fornix, right in front of the cervix, hooked behind the pubic bone. Three practical consequences follow:

• More capacity. A 2023 BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health study (DeLoughery et al., Oregon Health & Science University) measured disc capacity at 61 ml on average, well above most cups, which sit between 20 and 50 ml.
  
• Sex stays possible. Because the disc sits above the vaginal canal, penetrative sex during your period stays comfortable. A cup must come out first.
  
• IUD-friendly. The disc does not create suction, so there is no risk of pulling on IUD strings during removal, an advantage routinely confirmed by gynaecologists.
  

The one area where cups win: removal is usually cleaner because the cup is held in place by the suction seal. With a disc, you have to pinch it, which can bring fingers into contact with blood. That is precisely why OmyDisc, Cup&Co and HeyZomi have developed their retrieval systems.

How to use a menstrual disc in 7 steps

1. Wash your hands. Before every insertion and removal, no exceptions.
   
2. Sterilise before your first cycle. Three to five minutes in boiling water, or use a steam steriliser cup.
   
3. Fold into a figure 8. Press the disc so only half of the rim points forward.
   
4. Insert. Sit, squat or stand with one leg raised. Push the folded disc gently down and back toward the tailbone until it unfolds.
   
5. Hook behind the pubic bone. Use your finger to push the front rim up and back until it locks behind the pubic bone.
   
6. Wear. Up to 12 hours, then empty (safety limit for toxic shock syndrome prevention).
   
7. Remove. Squat over the toilet, hook the rim with a finger or pull the retrieval tab, and slide the disc out horizontally.

Frequently asked questions

Which menstrual disc is best for beginners in Australia?

OmyDisc or Cup&Co. Both come in a 1+1 free pack with two sizes, both back the purchase with a 90-day money-back guarantee, and both offer an optional applicator and steriliser bundle. OmyDisc wins on the integrated tab (easier first removal), Cup&Co wins on the soft silicone and the choice between tab or no tab.

What size do I need?

The right size depends on your cervix height, not your body size. Low cervix (one finger length): small disc (S, Small or A). Medium cervix (two finger lengths): S or M. High cervix (three finger lengths): M, L or Regular. If you are unsure, order the 1+1 free pack from Cup&Co or OmyDisc and try both sizes.

Where can I buy a menstrual disc in Australia?

It depends on the brand. HeyZomi is stocked at Woolworths (in-store and online) and on heyzomi.com. Hello Disc is sold at Chemist Warehouse and Discount Chemist. OmyDisc and Cup&Co ship directly from France via the manufacturer website. Other Australian-owned brands worth knowing include MyMimi (Melbourne-based, sold online through Chemist Warehouse). Coles, Priceline and Amazon AU do not currently carry a wide menstrual disc selection.
