Reusable tampons and menstrual discs are modern period care products designed to offer sustainable, comfortable protection throughout your cycle. Reusable tampons often replace single-use counterparts by allowing multiple uses per item, while menstrual discs provide a flexible internal barrier that can be worn for longer periods. You can browse and buy reusable tampons and menstrual discs online on Welzo, choosing options that suit your flow, comfort preferences, and lifestyle needs.
What are Reusable Tampons & Menstrual Discs?
Reusable tampons are washable internal menstrual products that can be used multiple times, reducing waste and long-term cost. Menstrual discs are flexible, bowl-shaped devices inserted into the vaginal fornix to catch menstrual fluid rather than absorb it. Both options differ from single-use tampons and pads by offering reusability or extended wear time and, for many users, a more discreet or comfortable experience.

Why are Reusable Tampons & Menstrual Discs Important?

For many users, these options support confidence during daily routines, exercise, sleep, and travel — all without frequent product changes.
Best Products in Reusable Tampons & Menstrual Discs
Top picks combine secure fit, easy insertion/removal, and body-safe materials. Many menstrual discs are made from flexible silicone that adapts comfortably to different anatomies, while reusable tampon options focus on absorbency and strength for multiple cycles.
Users who prefer internal absorbent options may also compare with single-use choices in the Tampons collection and external protection from the Sanitary Pads range.
How to Use Reusable Tampons & Menstrual Discs
Follow manufacturer instructions carefully for first-time use:
- Wash hands before insertion.
- Insert a menstrual disc so it sits behind the cervix; removal typically involves hooking a finger beneath the rim.
- Reusable tampons are inserted like standard tampons but are removed, washed, and stored per product guidelines.
- Change or empty according to flow and product instructions, usually every 8–12 hours for discs depending on absorbency.
- Clean reusable items thoroughly after each use with warm water and gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
Are there any Side Effects or Interactions of Reusable Tampons & Menstrual Discs?
When used correctly, these products are safe for most people, but there are important considerations:
-
Irritation or sensitivity: Some individuals may experience sensitivity to insertion or removal; try different sizes or materials if needed.
-
Hygiene: Inadequate cleaning can increase risk of irritation or infection; always follow cleaning and storage guidance.
-
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS): Rare but serious — follow wear-time guidance and use the lowest capacity product appropriate for your flow.
If you experience discomfort or unusual symptoms, discontinue use and consult a qualified healthcare professional. Alternative period care items in the Feminine Hygiene range may better suit some users.
