| Hey! | |
| I have a low cervix and I totally get the struggle with | |
| menstrual discs. It took me a while to figure out what works, | |
| but here�s what helps me: | |
| [list] | |
| [*]Smaller discs: I use ones specifically made for low cervix, | |
| like Lumma Shorty or Nixit. The regular sizes were just too big | |
| and uncomfortable. | |
| [*]Insertion angle: I make sure to angle the disc really low, | |
| almost pointing down towards my back, and keep it shallow so it | |
| doesn�t poke. | |
| [*]Pinch the rim: I kind of fold the disc into a figure-eight to | |
| make it smaller for insertion. | |
| [*]Check the rim placement: Once it�s in, I use my finger to | |
| make sure the front edge is tucked up behind my pubic bone. | |
| Sometimes I need to adjust it a couple times. | |
| [*]Empty more often: Since the disc sits lower, I check it every | |
| few hours to avoid leaks. | |
| [/list] | |
| It took some trial and error, but now it�s much more | |
| comfortable! Hope that helps anyone else with a low cervix. | |
| 😊 | |

| Hey! | |
| I have a low cervix and I know it can be tricky to find a | |
| menstrual disc that feels comfortable and doesn�t leak. For me, | |
| smaller or �shallow� discs work best, like the Lumma Shorty or | |
| Nixit (though Nixit is a little wider, so it depends on your | |
| body). Sometimes I also trim my nails short for insertion�it | |
| really helps! | |
| Tips I�ve picked up: | |
| [list] | |
| [*]Pinch the disc in a figure-8 shape to make it smaller going | |
| in. | |
| [*]Angle it down and back toward your tailbone, not straight up. | |
| [*]After it�s in, use a finger to tuck the front edge up behind | |
| your pubic bone. | |
| [*]If it feels like it�s popping out, I sometimes squat and push | |
| it in a bit more, so it sits comfortably. | |
| [/list] | |
| Everyone�s anatomy is a bit different, but these tricks made it | |
| way easier for me. Hope it helps! 😊 | |

| emma_monday: | |
| You want �real woman� advice? Fine. Low cervix means most discs | |
| feel like you�re trying to stuff a dinner plate into a mailbox. | |
| Here�s what actually works: | |
| - Smaller discs only. Lumma Shorty is tolerable. Nixit is | |
| basically the chonky option�depends if your anatomy is feeling | |
| generous. | |
| - Pinch it like you�re mad at it. Figure-8 fold, then angle | |
| toward your tailbone. If you go up, it�ll just punch your cervix | |
| and make you reconsider your life choices. | |
| - Front rim goes behind the pubic bone. If it�s not tucked, it�s | |
| not staying. Use a finger. Get over it. | |
| - Squat. Push. Adjust. Dignity is optional, comfort is not. | |
| - Trim your nails. Self-explanatory, unless you want to learn a | |
| new definition of �bad day.� | |
| Honestly, expect a learning curve. Or several. Everyone�s shaped | |
| like their own brand of Tetris. Good luck. | |

| Yeah, low cervix life is a whole adventure. I�ve had the best | |
| luck with the Lumma Shorty too, because anything �regular� size | |
| just feels like I�m smuggling Tupperware. The figure-8 fold is a | |
| must, and honestly, squatting is non-negotiable for me�standing | |
| just doesn�t cut it. | |
| One thing I�d add: If you feel like the disc is �slipping� or | |
| leaking, check if it�s actually tucked behind your pubic bone. | |
| Sometimes it feels like it�s in, but it�s not fully locked. I | |
| also do a little �wiggle� at the end, just to make sure it�s | |
| settled. | |
| Oh, and if you�re nervous about removal (because low cervix = | |
| less room to maneuver): try bearing down a bit, then hook a | |
| finger on the rim. Sometimes it�s messy, but hey, so is life. | |
| Bottom line: Don�t force what doesn�t fit. Discs are supposed to | |
| work for you, not the other way around. | |

| Yeah, low cervix life: that exclusive club nobody asked to join. | |
| I�ve tried the Lumma Shorty too�anything taller and it�s like, | |
| congratulations, you�ve just installed a satellite dish. The | |
| �figure-8� fold is the only way I survive, and if I�m not | |
| squatting, it�s just not happening. Standing up straight? For | |
| people with more real estate. | |
| One thing I learned the hard way: if you get leaks, don�t blame | |
| yourself immediately�sometimes the front edge isn�t actually | |
| tucked behind your pubic bone. It *feels* like it�s in, but it�s | |
| just loitering. I do a little �scoot� or wiggle after insertion, | |
| just to make sure it�s locked in. | |
| For removal: bear down, hook a finger under the rim, and | |
| surrender to the reality that it might get messy. If you�re | |
| squeamish, maybe don�t try it in your favorite jeans. | |
| Honestly, if a disc just isn�t working�don�t force it. Your | |
| anatomy isn�t wrong; the product just isn�t right for you (like | |
| most things in life). Find something that fits *you*. Not the | |
| other way around. | |

| doesn�t belong. The figure-8 fold is a must, and honestly, if | |

| One thing I�d add: If your disc is leaking or feels like it�s | |

| pubic bone. Sometimes it *feels* like it�s in, but it�s just | |
| loitering awkwardly at the entrance, waiting to betray you in | |
| public. | |
| Removal tip: If you have minimal room to work with (welcome to | |
| the club), bear down a little and hook a finger under the rim. | |
| Sometimes it�s a crime scene, sometimes it�s not. Life is risk. | |
| Final wisdom: If a disc isn�t working for you, it�s not a moral | |
| failing. It�s just a bad fit. Your body, your circus, your | |
| clowns. | |

| Yeah, low cervix. Nature�s way of keeping you humble. I�m in the | |
| shallow disc club too�the Lumma Shorty is basically the only one | |
| that doesn�t make me feel like I�m hosting a dinner party for | |
| one in there. The figure-8 fold is essential, and honestly, if | |
| you�re not squatting, you�re just signing up for frustration. | |
| Extra reality check: If your disc is leaking or feels like it�s | |
| playing escape artist, it�s probably not actually hooked behind | |
| your pubic bone. Sometimes it *feels* in, but it�s just lurking | |
| by the exit, waiting to ruin your day. I do a little | |
| side-to-side wiggle to make sure it�s locked in. | |
| Removal with a low cervix? Bear down gently, then hook a finger | |
| under the rim. Sometimes it�s clean, sometimes it�s a horror | |
| movie. Either way, you survive. | |
| And if none of this works? It�s not you. Some bodies refuse to | |
| cooperate. Find what fits, and ignore the rest. Your anatomy | |
| isn�t a puzzle to solve; it�s just... yours. Welcome to the | |
| club. | |

| Yeah, low cervix life is really just a series of �that doesn�t | |
| fit� moments. I�ll echo the Lumma Shorty�because if I wanted to | |
| feel like I was shoplifting a salad plate, I�d just use the | |
| �normal� discs. Figure-8 fold? Basically mandatory. Squatting? | |
| Non-negotiable. Standing up straight is for people whose cervix | |
| isn�t lurking two inches from the exit. | |
| If you�re getting leaks or the disc feels like it�s migrating | |
| south, make sure it�s actually tucked behind your pubic bone. | |
| Sometimes you think it�s in, but it�s just hanging out at the | |
| entrance, plotting betrayal. | |
| Removal is always a messier adventure with a low cervix. I | |
| usually bear down a bit (like you�re trying to pop your ears on | |
| a flight) and hook a finger under the rim. Sometimes it�s a | |
| clean job, sometimes it looks like a low-budget slasher film. | |
| You get used to it. | |
| Bottom line: If a disc doesn�t fit, it�s not you. It�s the disc. | |
| Don�t martyr yourself. There�s no award for suffering through | |
| the wrong menstrual product. | |

| Yeah, low cervix club: where �average size� means �absolutely | |
| not.� Lumma Shorty is about the only one that doesn�t make me | |
| feel like I�m auditioning for a magic trick gone wrong. Figure-8 | |
| fold is essential, unless you enjoy origami with consequences. | |
| Squatting? Mandatory. If you�re not squatting, you�re playing on | |
| hard mode for no reason. | |
| If your disc feels like it�s trying to make a dramatic exit, | |
| double-check that it�s actually locked behind your pubic bone. | |
| Sometimes it just sits there, looking innocent and planning its | |
| betrayal. | |
| For removal: bear down a bit, hook a finger under the rim, and | |
| accept that it�s not always going to be clean. Sometimes it�s | |
| fine. Sometimes it�s the elevator scene from The Shining. That�s | |
| just the sport. | |
| Bottom line: If a disc doesn�t work for your body, toss it and | |
| move on. Your anatomy isn�t the problem. The product is. There�s | |
| no medal for perseverance in discomfort. | |
