Hello Disc
What is the Hello Disc menstrual disc made from & where is it made?
Hello Discs are made from German-engineered, USP Class VI silicone - one of the most trusted materials in the medical industry. It's ISO 10993 certified, which means it has passed rigorous testing for long-term use inside the human body.
USP Class VI is the gold standard of medical silicone classification. It requires extensive testing, including systemic toxicity, irritation, and implantation studies. It’s the level required for things like implants, surgical devices, and products that stay inside the body for hours or even days.
ISO 10993 is an international safety benchmark used to determine how materials interact with the human body. Certification under ISO 10993 ensures that the silicone is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and completely biocompatible for mucosal use (i.e. safe for vaginal use).
While some brands claim to use ‘medical-grade silicone’ in their menstrual discs, unfortunately, the term (and the period product market in general) is not tightly regulated, and many products on the market use low-quality silicone that may ‘technically’ be medical grade, but doesn’t meet the highest safety or biocompatibility standards.
If a brand doesn’t clearly state where their silicone comes from or which certifications it meets, that’s a red flag. Your vagina deserves better than vague claims and sub-par materials.
Hello Discs are manufactured in our ISO-certified factory in China. The Hello Disc is FDA registered.
Who designed the Hello Disc?
The Hello Disc menstrual disc is the result of a dream-team collaboration. Hello Period founders Robyn McLean and Mary Bond, a registered nurse, teamed up with renowned menstrual cup and menstrual disc guru, Kim Rosas of Period Nirvana to design the Hello Disc. Kim has tried virtually every menstrual disc on the market and felt there was a need for a disc that was easier to remove. And so Hello Disc was born!
What size is the Hello Disc?
The Hello Disc menstrual disc is a handy ‘one size fits most’ design. The 68mm rim of the Hello Disc is designed to fit most users. It offers more capacity than regular tampons, sanitary pads, or menstrual cups (the Hello Disc holds up to 50ml - the equivalent of approx. 10 regular tampons or pads!).
Why one size?
The vaginal fornix (where the Hello Disc sits) is frequently the same size from one person to another which is why our menstrual disc is a handy ‘one size fits most’.
Also, because the Hello Disc™ sits higher than a menstrual cup and tucks behind the pubic bone, it’s much easier to have a ‘one size’ option with menstrual discs.
Can I wear the Hello Disc during sex?
Yes, you can enjoy no-mess period sex with your Hello Disc in place! As your Hello Disc menstrual disc sits high and behind the pubic bone, it doesn’t get in the way of penetration. You shouldn’t be able to feel a thing with your Hello Disc in during play. No more laying down towels or period sex laundry! We recommend emptying your Hello Disc in advance.
IMPORTANT:
**The Hello Disc is NOT intended to be used as contraception and will not prevent pregnancy. If you wear your Hello Disc during sexual intercourse and condoms are your sole method of birth control, remove your Hello Disc - the disc has not been tested against condom use and friction may create a micro-tear in the condom.**
What is the difference between a Hello Cup and the Hello Disc?
While menstrual cups and menstrual discs are both designed to collect your period blood, the key difference between them is where they sit inside the body and how they stay in place. Menstrual cups sit in the vaginal canal and stay in place with suction. Menstrual discs sit slightly higher, in the vaginal fornix and are held in place by tucking behind the pubic bone. If you have an IUD, we'd recommend using a Hello Disc.
Check out our comparison video, here.
Capacity - The Hello Disc™ will hold up to 50 ml (our L cups hold 29.5 ml). That’s equal to around 10 regular tampons or pads.
Material - Hello Cups are made from medical-grade TPE, Hello Discs are made from medical-grade silicone.
Position - Menstrual cups sit lower in the vaginal canal. The Hello Disc™ tucks behind the pubic bone.
Suction - Hello Cups suction when in position. The Hello Disc™ does not use suction - instead, it sits in place. (This makes the Hello Disc™ a great choice if you have an IUD!)
Sizes/Cervix heights - Hello Cups come in 3 cervix heights and 3 different sizes. The Hello Disc™ is great for all cervix heights (just adjust the tab as you need to) and comes in a handy ‘one size fits most’.
What’s different about the Hello Disc menstrual disc?
The patented double-loop tab design makes the Hello Disc the easiest menstrual disc to remove. It also means it can be removed without mess (sometimes this might take a bit of practice!) The double tab can be worn different ways depending on what you find most comfortable. Unlike many other menstrual discs on the market, the Hello Disc is made the highest quality, German-engineered, USP Class VI silicone - one of the most trusted materials in the medical industry. It's ISO 10993 certified, which means it has passed rigorous testing for long-term use inside the human body.
USP Class VI is the gold standard of medical silicone classification. It requires extensive testing, including systemic toxicity, irritation, and implantation studies. It’s the level required for things like implants, surgical devices, and products that stay inside the body for hours or even days.
ISO 10993 is an international safety benchmark used to determine how materials interact with the human body. Certification under ISO 10993 ensures that the silicone is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and completely biocompatible for mucosal use (i.e. safe for vaginal use).
While some brands claim to use ‘medical-grade silicone’ in their discs, unfortunately, the term (and the period product market in general) is not tightly regulated, and many products on the market use low-quality silicone that may ‘technically’ be medical grade, but doesn’t meet the highest safety or biocompatibility standards.
If a brand doesn’t clearly state where their silicone comes from or which certifications it meets, that’s a red flag. Your vagina deserves better than vague claims and sub-par materials.
The Hello Disc has won several design awards and is FDA registered.
Is Hello Disc suitable for a teenager?
The Hello Disc is suitable for anyone who prefers internal period products. It sits higher than a menstrual cup so you will want to be comfortable about inserting it and pushing it up. It can be worn for hours at a time and can be used during exercise, swimming and overnight. Get in touch with us at hello@helloperiod.com if you have questions additional questions about whether Hello Disc menstrual disc is suitable for you!
Will I get blood on my hand?
Thanks to the patented double-looped design, the Hello Disc menstrual disc is designed to be easily removed with one finger and to be mess free. It is possible that you will nail this the first time you try, or it may take a little practice! As you remove the disc, you want to aim for the contents to empty backwards, away from your hand.
How long does the Hello Disc last?
With proper care your Hello Disc menstrual disc will last for years. Ideally, you should look to replace your Hello Disc at least every 5 years. The Hello Disc is made from premium medical-grade silicone which is silky smooth and safe for use in the body. Follow the care instructions and keep your disc away from sharp objects - and your family dog or cat who have been known to steal them as chew toys!
Can I use a Hello Disc with a Retroverted Uterus?
Generally speaking, menstrual cups and menstrual discs are suitable to use with a retroverted or retroflexed uterus.
The vast majority of people with a retroflexed uterus find that they can use period cups (adjusting the positioning to accommodate the cervix position) or discs (by giving the rim which is closest to the spine a small upwards flick to fit the rim into position).
How do I find my cervix height?
Measuring your cervix is easy. Because your cervix can move during your cycle, for the most accurate results, we recommend following the below steps on day 1 - 3 of your period.
Step 1: Wash your hands
Step 2: Insert a finger into your vagina and feel for your cervix (sometimes a gentle sweeping action will help find it). Your cervix will feel a bit like the tip of your nose - kinda soft and springy.
Step 3: Take note of how far your finger is in and then remove it. Measure the length against a ruler.
Step 4: Check your measurement with our guide below to determine your cervix height.
PRO TIP: Measure your cervix when you are in the shower!
You can find more information here.
How long will my Hello Cup last?
With proper care your Hello Cup will last you around five years. There are no set rules around when you should replace your cup. If you want to replace it every year, that is fine too.
Between uses we recommend storing your cup in one of our organic cotton storage bags and / or somewhere out of direct sunlight with good air circulation.
What are Hello Cups made from?
Hello Cups are made from medical-grade TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). They are hypoallergenic and free of BPAs, silicone, rubber and latex. Colours used are certified food grade and comply with EU and FDA standards. Hello Cups are vegan certified.
Do Hello Cups have vegan certification?
Yes! Hello Cups are vegan certified. Hello Cups do not contain animal products and are not tested on animals.
Are Hello Cup menstrual cups good for travel?
Hello Cups are the perfect travel companion! We wish we'd known about cups when we were backpacking around the world! Not only will you have more money to spend but you'll have more room in your bags and you'll never be caught short no matter where in the world you are!
Can a teenager use a Hello Cup menstrual cup?
Yes! If they are comfortable inserting a menstrual cup (it's a simlar process to inserting a tampon), then absolutely. Users can start using Hello Cups from when they first get their period. Our small size ('S') Hello Cup is our recommended starting point for teens. Hello Cups can be worn for swimming, sports and overnight. Some websites suggest menstrual cups may interfere with the hymen. Essentially inserting a cup is no different to inserting a tampon. The hymen will stretch and / or break naturally at some point, not necessarily during sex. Some people prefer not to use cups or tampons for personal or cultural reasons.
Can you get Toxic Shock Syndrome using a menstrual cup?
The risk of getting TSS (toxic shock syndrome) while using a menstrual cup is extremely low. TSS is a rare but serious condition caused by toxins released by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Symptoms include fever, chills, dizziness, fatigue, muscle aches, or rash. If you experience any of these symptoms – remove your Hello Cup™ and seek medical advice. Ensure you do not leave your cup in for more than 12 hours to keep yourself safe. TSS can only occur if the toxin enters your bloodstream. This can happen if you have an abrasion – which could be caused by sex, nails, tampons or cups being inserted without sufficient vaginal lubrication. If you are aware you have an abrasion, avoid wearing your menstrual cup (or tampon) until it has healed. Wash your hands before and after changing your cup.
Hello Undies
Why are Hello Undies so great?
Unlike most brands of period underwear, Hello Undies can safely be tumble dried on a low heat, which allows for quick turnaround between wear. They are reusable absorbent and leakproof and perfect for people wanting a convenient, reliable and environmentally friendly way of managing their periods, light bladder leakage or even for postpartum care. They are super absorbent - holding the equivalent of five pads. They can be worn alone or as backup to your Hello Cup or Hello Disc. Also, unlike many other brands, we don’t use a polyurethane plastic layer so there will be no ‘crackly’ sound when you move around!
Why are they more expensive than some other brands?
To ensure our products meet our expectations, our period underwear will not be the cheapest on the market but cheaper alternatives often come with hidden costs in terms of quality, duration, and sustainability. We want your Hello Undies to last and to make your periods easier to manage so it’s vital they are made well. The factory we work with is independently audited each year. To protect against child labour, no employees are aged under 18. Our manufacturer manages the factory and production themselves to ensure quality and transparency, instead of outsourcing components of the manufacturing process.. The annual audit process ensures they meet international Business Social Compliance Initiative best practice across areas including ethical behaviour, waste minimisation, workplace health and safety, decent working hours and fair remuneration.
Why don’t you have Hello Undies for different flows?
Our leakproof period underwear is able to absorb the same amount as up to 5 regular tampons or pads. They are great for work, school and overnight.
What are Hello Undies made from?
The materials used in our period underwear ensure they will stand the test of time and provide leakproof peace-of-mind.
Outer layer - 78% polyamide, 22% elastine
Inner, absorbent layer - 97% polyester, 3% elastic.
Where are they made?
Hello Undies are made in an ethically-run factory in China, owned directly by our manufacturer to ensure our ethical and quality standards are met.
How do I find the right size?
To work effectively, it’s important that period underwear fits snugly. We recommend measuring yourself before ordering. Our sizing categories are based on international standards and can be used as a general guide, but actual measurements are more likely to result in the perfect fit. Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping tape parallel with the floor, then consult our chart.
How many pairs of period underwear do I need?
Six pairs should see you through an average menstrual cycle with one load of washing in the middle. If you have a heavy flow you might need to change them more often, so you’ll need more. If you’re using them to manage light bladder leakage, we suggest the same amounts as a starting point.
How long do Hello Undies last?
Our leak-proof period underwear stands the test of time! You should get at least two years of amazingness from them - saving you heaps of moolah and giving you some serious kudos with Mother Nature by diverting hundreds of single use period products from the world’s landfills with each pair.
Do they contain PFOS, PFOA or other harmful chemicals?
No. Our period underwear are independently lab tested and are free of potentially harmful substances such as PFOS or PFOA, AZO dyes, organic compounds, DMFu and CMR. They have Okeo-Tex Standard 100 accreditation and do not contain harmful chemicals. Our manufacturer has a strong focus on making their textiles safe for consumers and kind to the environment. With these goals in mind, they have sought to avoid significant chemical processes during manufacturing, which is why they dye their yarns prior to textile knitting, rather than once the textiles have been created. This approach uses less processing, resulting in lower PH levels that ensure consumers are not adversely impacted when wearing the textiles over their sensitive body parts. Hello Undies are made from hypoallergenic materials to ensure they're kind to your skin.

If you are using our pads for light bladder leakage or incontinence, we'd also recommend having 8 - 10 pads on rotation.

Yes, our Hello Pad range can be used for light incontinence or bladder leakage. Hello Pads are also great to use during pregnancy and after pregnancy when you might experience leaks when you cough, sneeze, laugh or lift something heavy.

Yes, Hello Wash is a fragrance-free and gentle so will not irritate sensitive skin. It's made with love in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
What is Hello Go barrier spray?
Hello Go provides a barrier to bacteria for up to 24 hours. Spray onto a dry Hello Cup or Hello Disc and allow to dry. A single application every 24 hours forms an invisible barrier shield on the skin or surface. Works by forming a layer of microscopic "pins" which attract, pierce and kill pathogens. The same principle as a pin popping a balloon. Also, this means that the pathogens cannot reform. Traditional barrier sprays kill bacteria by poison or high alcohol content. Hello Go is alcohol-free and safe for food and surfaces (not just cup/disc and hands). It is non drying and has a pH of 6.9 (water is classified as neutral at pH7). When it is dry on the cup it forms a layer which is bound to the surface of the cup and doesn't leach into the vagina.
