New to menstrual discs?

First, determine the proper fit.

Lumma™ is proud to be the only company in the world to offer three sizes of menstrual discs.
To get the ideal size, compare the finger length with a ruler before measuring, noting which part of the finger measures 3.8cm (typically from tip to first joint) and 5cm (typically from tip to second joint).

Clean your hands and find a comfortable position.

Insert your index or middle finger into your vagina and take it as far as you can.

Your cervix is located exactly where your finger stops. You should feel something soft, but firm and stiff, almost like the tip of your nose.

Disc

What is the right size for you?

Short If you feel your cervix with your 1st knuckle inserted (up to 1½ in / 4 cm), you have a short cervix.

Medium If you can only feel your cervix after inserting 2 knuckles (between 1½ in / 4 cm and 2½ in / 6 cm), you have a medium cervix.

High If your cervix is more than 2½ inches away, you have a high cervix.

How to use your disc

Squeeze the rim in the middle of the menstrual disc to form an “8” shape, maintaining the string in front of the disc.

Insert the disc into the vaginal canal.

Continue pushing the disc toward the end of the canal until you feel that it’s positioned under your cervix.

Push upwards on the front of the rim, securing it behind the pubic bone. Part of the silicone string will remain outside the entrance of the vagina.

REMOVAL: Pull lightly and slowly with the front of the string until the rim of the disc slips off the pubic bone and lines up with the entrance to the vagina, then pull out gently with your fingers.

NOTE: The string can be shortened with scissors or, for those who prefer not to use a string, it can be cut off altogether.

Sterilizing your Lumma products

Simply boil in water for three minutes. Your disc or cup will be sterilized, clean and ready to use.
