Reusable Products
After trying a handful of different discs, this one easily became my favorite. It’s soft enough to prevent discomfort but rigid enough to remove easily, especially with the help of the notch!
The Soft Fit Disc - Cora
One of the challenges with reusable products is finding what size and style works for you! I love this duo pack by Saalt so you can try both sizes at an affordable price. Saalt also has the BEST customer service.

A vaginal/women’s probiotic is another great supplement to keep as part of your routine!

Yes - you can get birth control over the counter now! This is a great option if you don’t have insurance or are struggling with contraceptive access. As always, talk to a doctor or pharmacist!
