L’UNICA GUIDE
Welcome to your L’unica Guide
A little guidance. A lot more freedom.
Trying something new can take a little practice. This guide is here to help you understand your L’unica menstrual disc, find your fit and feel confident from your very first cycle.
No pressure. No perfection. Just you, your body and a new way to experience your period.
Be limitless. Be L’unica.
Why L’unica?
A menstrual disc sits differently from a tampon or menstrual cup. It rests high in the vaginal fornix, just below the cervix, and is held in place behind the pubic bone.
Because it collects rather than absorbs menstrual flow, it does not absorb your natural vaginal moisture.
Up to 12 hours of wear
Wear your L’unica for up to 12 hours before removing, emptying and cleaning it.*
Medical-grade silicone
Soft, flexible and designed with comfort in mind.
Made to move with you
Sleep, work, swim, exercise and go about your day while your disc stays comfortably in place when correctly positioned.
Reusable
Wash, care for and reuse your L’unica cycle after cycle.
*Wear time may vary depending on your flow. Always empty and clean your disc at least every 12 hours.
FIND YOUR L’UNICA
Three sizes. One goal: finding the fit that feels right for you.
Every body is different.
The right menstrual disc is the one that sits comfortably in your vaginal fornix and remains securely tucked behind your pubic bone.
Your anatomy, including the position of your cervix and the space available for the disc, can help guide your choice. Cervix position may also change throughout your cycle.
If you would like to locate your cervix, gently insert a clean finger into the vagina. The cervix often feels firm and rounded, somewhat like the tip of your nose.
But remember: there is no single measurement or rule that can determine the perfect size for everyone.

Not sure which one is yours?
Finding your ideal fit can take a little experimentation.
Rather than choosing based only on flow, age or whether you have given birth, pay attention to comfort and how securely the disc stays tucked behind your pubic bone.
Your body is your best guide.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Start clean
Before using your L’unica for the first time, sterilize your disc.
Always wash your hands before inserting or removing it.
During your cycle, wash the disc with warm water and a mild, unscented soap between uses. Rinse thoroughly before reinserting.
THE RITUAL
How to use your L’unica
Once you understand the movement, using a menstrual disc becomes surprisingly simple.
Give yourself time. Your first few attempts are about discovering the angle and position that work for your body.
01 · FOLD
Pinch the sides to fold.
With clean hands, gently press the sides of the disc together between your thumb and index finger until the rim becomes narrow and elongated.
02 · INSERT
Think back, not up.
Choose a comfortable position — sitting on the toilet, squatting, or standing with one leg raised can all work.
Relax your pelvic muscles and gently guide the folded disc into the vaginal canal, aiming back toward your tailbone rather than straight upward.
Continue inserting until the disc is fully inside.
BACK, NOT UP.
03 · TUCK
The tuck makes the difference.
Once the disc is fully inserted, use your finger to gently push the front rim upward and tuck it securely behind your pubic bone.
When correctly positioned, your L’unica should feel comfortable and stay securely in place.
You should barely notice it is there.
TUCK. CHECK. GO.
04 · REMOVE
Slow and steady.
Wash your hands and relax your pelvic muscles.
Insert a finger and gently hook it under the front rim of the disc. Slowly untuck it from behind your pubic bone and guide it out.
Try to keep the disc as level as possible as you remove it to help minimize spills.
Empty, wash and rinse your disc before reinserting.
REMOVE. EMPTY. REUSE.
IS MY DISC IN THE RIGHT PLACE?
Your L’unica should feel comfortable and secure.
Good signs include:
- You barely feel the disc.
- The front rim remains tucked behind your pubic bone.
- It feels secure while you walk, sit, sleep or exercise.
- You experience little to no leaking.
If you notice leaking, don't worry — it may simply take a little adjustment.
Check that the disc has been inserted far enough back and that the front rim is fully tucked behind your pubic bone.
Sometimes a different size may provide a better fit.
AUTO-DUMPING
Your disc may empty itself — and yes, that's normal.
Some menstrual disc users experience auto-dumping while using the toilet. When you relax or bear down, the position of the disc may temporarily shift, allowing some menstrual fluid to empty into the toilet.
This can be especially convenient on heavier-flow days.
Auto-dumping doesn't happen for everyone — and it doesn't need to happen for your disc to fit correctly.
Afterwards, simply use a clean finger to check that the front rim is still securely tucked behind your pubic bone.
CLEANING & CARE
Simple care. Cycle after cycle.
During your period
Remove and empty your L’unica at least every 12 hours, or sooner depending on your flow.
Wash it with warm water and a mild, unscented soap. Rinse thoroughly before reinserting.
Between cycles
Clean and sterilize your disc before storing it completely dry in a clean, breathable place.
Inspect your disc regularly. Replace it if you notice deterioration, damage, persistent changes in texture or anything that makes you uncomfortable using it.
USING YOUR CUPMATE
Your simple sterilizing companion
Your CupMate offers a convenient way to sterilize your L’unica.
Microwave method
1. Open
Fully expand your CupMate and place your clean disc inside.
2. Add water
Add enough clean water to completely submerge the disc.
3. Keep it vented
Place the lid loosely on top. Do not seal it completely, so steam can escape.
4. Microwave
Heat according to the CupMate instructions, ensuring there is always sufficient water inside.
5. Cool
Allow the water and CupMate to cool before handling.
Important: Never microwave the CupMate empty.
L’UNICA ON THE GO
Public restroom? No problem.
If you need to empty your disc while away from home and there is no private sink in the stall, you can empty it and reinsert it with clean hands.
If needed, use clean toilet paper to gently wipe the disc or bring a small bottle of clean water for rinsing.
Wash your disc thoroughly with mild, unscented soap and water when you next have access to a suitable sink.
INTIMACY
Period sex, differently
Because a menstrual disc sits high in the vaginal fornix rather than in the vaginal canal, some people choose to wear it during penetrative vaginal sex to help contain menstrual flow.
Comfort varies from person to person. If either partner experiences discomfort, stop and remove the disc.
L’unica is not a contraceptive and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
USING L’UNICA WITH AN IUD
Menstrual discs do not rely on the same type of suction associated with menstrual cups.
However, if you use an IUD, individual circumstances can differ. Speak with your healthcare professional if you have questions about using a menstrual disc with your IUD, particularly after a recent insertion or if you have concerns about your IUD strings.
Always remove your disc gently.
YOUR FIRST FEW CYCLES
Confidence comes with practice
The first insertion may feel easy — or it may take a few attempts.
Both are normal.
Learning your own angle, anatomy and preferred technique can take time. If something doesn't feel right, remove the disc, relax and try again later.
Your period product should work with your body, not against it.
FAQ
Can I sleep with my L’unica?
Yes. L’unica can be worn overnight, provided total continuous wear does not exceed 12 hours. Depending on your flow, you may need to empty it sooner.
Can I exercise or swim with it?
Yes. When comfortably and correctly positioned, a menstrual disc is designed to remain in place during everyday movement, including exercise and swimming.
I've given birth. Do I automatically need Large?
No. Birth history alone does not determine menstrual disc size. Your individual anatomy and how securely and comfortably the disc fits are more useful guides.
Can I use L’unica with an IUD?
Menstrual discs may be used by people who have an IUD, but individual circumstances vary. If you have an IUD or questions about your strings or placement, consult your healthcare professional.
What if my disc leaks?
First check the position. Make sure the disc has been inserted back toward your tailbone and that the front rim is completely tucked behind your pubic bone.
If leaking continues despite correct positioning, another size may provide a better fit.
What if I can feel my disc?
A properly fitting disc should generally be barely noticeable. If you feel pressure or discomfort, try repositioning it. If discomfort continues, remove it and consider whether another size may suit your anatomy better.
BE LIMITLESS. BE L’UNICA.
Your body isn't something to work around.
Your period shouldn't be either.
