Why does my femdisc empty on its own when I use the toilet?Updated 16 hours ago

Is your femdisc emptying on the toilet or leaking?

When you use the toilet, it can happen that your femdisc empties a little on its own. Sitting down and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles can shift the disc slightly – just enough for some blood to be released into the toilet.

Many people actually see this as a plus, because it lets you empty the femdisc without taking it out. This is called hands-free emptying. As long as it only happens on the toilet, it's completely normal and nothing to worry about 💛

However, if your femdisc leaks outside of using the toilet, it can be a sign that it isn't sitting correctly or that the size isn't ideal for you. In that case, it's worth double-checking the position or the size again ✨
