Medical grade silicone is non-porous. This helps resist the build-up of bacteria. When a device is porous it means that there are tiny little holes throughout providing microorganisms, such as bacteria, a perfect place to thrive. Hume’s Cups and Discs are non-porous, preventing bacteria build-up.

How do they work?

Period cups and discs are worn intra vaginal, kind of like a tampon. But unlike tampons, cups and discs do not absorb flow, instead they collect it. Cups and discs have a much larger capacity than tampons. A single cup or disc has the capacity of up to 3 super tampons. Unlike tampons, cups and discs do not generate waste as they can be reused. A cup or disc can last up to 10 years!

What is the difference between cups and discs?

Some of the differences are:

1) shape

2) capacity

3) softnes

4) placement

The cup has a cone shape. The disc is rounder

Discs have a larger capacity than cups. A disc has a capaity of up to 60 ml whereas a cup holds between 29 and 40ml. Either way, it is a lot of fluid capacity. A regular tampon holds only up to 6ml and a super tampon up to 12ml. Because cups and discs have a much greater capacity than tampons, it means that you can wear it longer before refreshing.

Because of their large capacity, you can wear a cup or disc for up to 12 hours continuously before refreshing

Discs and cups are made of 100% biocompatible medical grade silicone.

They are both very soft but the disc is softer than the cup.

The softnest and vaginal position of the disc allows you to wear it during sexual intercourse and minimize period mess during intercourse.

The disc sits on the vaginal fornix, the superior portion of the vagina.

The menstrual cup is held in place by the vaginal walls.

Both cups and discs are so comfortable you won't even feel you are wearing one!

Menstrual cups and discs seem nice but why shouldn't I just keep on using the good old tampon?
here are a few reasons…

Healthier choice

A recent UCBerkeley study has found traces of lead, arsenic and other heavy metals in various brands of tampons. Yes, the organic tampons too. But don't take our word for it, search it up.

Period cups and discs are a healthier alternative. Made in the USA without toxins such as metals, plastics, dyes, latex or phtalates. Just biocompatible 100% medical grade silicone.

Reduce Waste!

The Augusta Chronicle reports that “about 12 billion pads and 7 billion tampons are discarded each year in the U.S. alone…. taking approximately 500 to 800 years to decompose.” This enormous amount of waste may end up on the ground, in our rivers and oceans, harming our environment and wildlife.

By the way, Lake Erie borders the U.S. states of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, so we have a problem at home!

Unlike disposable tampons, menstrual cups and discs are reusable and can last up to 10 years. By switching to a period cup or disc, you'll significantly reduce waste and contribute to a greener planet.

Save Money

A single person may use over 10,000 disposable menstrual products in a lifetime (Upson et al., 2022).

Period cups and discs are a cost-effective solution for your period needs. A single cup or disc can last up to 10 years, making it a smart investment that’ll save you tons of money in the long run.
