Does Your Pelvic Floor Need More Attention Than You Think?
Most women do not think about their pelvic floor until something starts to feel off. Maybe a tampon feels uncomfortable. Maybe a menstrual disc leaks even when you think you inserted it correctly.
What Is the Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. You can think of it as a supportive hammock at the base of your pelvis.
A healthy pelvic floor is not just strong. It also knows how to relax.
Signs Your Pelvic Floor May Be Out of Balance
- Leaking urine when sneezing or exercising
- Pressure or heaviness in the lower abdomen
- Discomfort during intimacy
- Difficulty inserting a tampon or disc
- Constant tension in the pelvic area

Why This Matters for a Menstrual Disc
If your pelvic floor is tense or not coordinated, a disc may feel uncomfortable or leak. When your body is relaxed and aligned, placement becomes easier and more natural.
