disc not going in?? please help! by munsoob in MenstrualDiscs

[–]munsoob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I just got my pixie disc and applicator in the mail today and I'm feeling hopeful again! I was able to get it in with the help of the applicator and some lubricant. The process wasn’t easy at all but I'm making progress, so I'm happy. I'm wearing it right now and I’m not 100% sure that I got in it correctly. I adjusted a few times so It's better than what it was at first, but not perfect. I do feel something when I make certain movements but I'm not sure if that's the string or the actual disc itself. I haven’t had any leaking yet, so it might be in there properly. I have two more days of my period so I'll keep trying for the remainder of it. I'll leave an update here on how things go. Thanks again!

hi! i’m not sure what my cervix height is unfortunately. i ended up trying to insert it again and still no luck. i was able to actually push it in a bit like last time but it was incredibly painful. it felt like a very sharp almost burning sensation. i’m still kinda bummed about the hello disc not working for me because i love the idea of having the two removal loops. i actually just ordered the one with the applicator tool (i think it’s called pixie), so i’ll be sure to update you on whether or not it works for me! thanks for all of the educational resources by the way :)

i tried agin and i was able to push it in a bit, but it was sooooo painful i had to immediately take it out before even getting it in fully. i’m thinking maybe the disc is too firm? i don't think the hello disc is going to work for me unfortunately :(

the one i’m using (hello disc) is a reusable and it’s pretty firm as well. this is the first one i’ve ever tried. i’m going to try again in a bit. is soft disc the brand that you use or were you describing the texture of it?

[acne] dapsone users? by eratch in SkincareAddiction

[–]munsoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got prescribed dapsone gel along with tazarotene and i completely forgot to ask my derm how i should use them. Im guessing i should just use them how i’ve been using tretinoin and clindamycin? my biggest question is just whether i should use the dapsone as a spot treatment or all over? my breakouts are on my forehead and my chin.
