Australian-designed reusable period product recognised as consumers seek comfortable, lower-waste alternatives to disposable care.
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – August 2026 – Australian period-care brand my mimi has received 2026 recognition for its reusable menstrual disc, marking another milestone for a local business focused on practical alternatives to disposable period products.
The recognition comes as menstrual discs become more visible in conversations about comfort, choice and waste reduction. Unlike pads and tampons, a reusable disc collects menstrual fluid and is positioned high in the vaginal canal, behind the pubic bone. The my mimi product is designed without suction and includes a flexible loop tab intended to support controlled removal.
my mimi offers the disc in two capacities. The Small version holds 32 mL and is generally recommended for people under 30 who have not given birth vaginally, or for those who prefer a smaller fit. The Large version holds 61 mL and is commonly selected by people over 30 or those who have given birth vaginally. Individual anatomy, cervix height, flow and comfort preferences remain important when choosing a size.
According to the brand, the disc is made from 100% medical-grade silicone and can be worn for up to 12 hours, depending on personal flow and circumstances. With appropriate cleaning, care and storage, it is designed for repeated use over several years, offering customers an option that can reduce reliance on single-use period products.
Why the recognition matters
The recognition highlights a broader change in the Australian period-care market. Consumers are increasingly comparing products not only on absorbency or capacity, but also on comfort, materials, ease of use, long-term value and environmental impact.
For people who are new to reusable internal products, the learning curve can be as important as the product itself. Clear sizing information, realistic instructions and accessible customer support can make the transition less intimidating. my mimi has positioned education as part of its offering, with guidance covering insertion, removal, cleaning, wear time and choosing between the two sizes.
Recognition in 2026 also builds on the brand's growing profile in Australia's health and wellness sector. The company describes its menstrual disc as Australian owned and designed, with orders fulfilled from Melbourne. Product information published by my mimi states that the disc is TGA-compliant and FDA-registered.
Part of a wider move toward reusable care
Reusable period care is no longer limited to one format. Consumers can now choose from period underwear, menstrual cups and menstrual discs, alongside traditional pads and tampons. Each option has different strengths, and no single product will suit every body or every situation.
Menstrual discs may appeal to people looking for higher capacity, longer wear intervals or a suction-free design. However, fit is personal, and users may need time to become comfortable with insertion and removal. Anyone experiencing unusual pain, heavy bleeding or other health concerns should seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
For my mimi, the 2026 recognition provides an opportunity to bring more attention to reusable period products while continuing the conversation about informed choice. As the market develops, practical design, credible product information and a realistic understanding of different bodies are likely to remain central to customer trust.
