Reusable vs Disposable: What’s Cheaper for Your Period?

We know periods are a fact of life—but the cost doesn’t have to be.

If you’re still using disposable pads or tampons every month, you’re not alone. But have you ever stopped to do the maths on how much that’s costing you over time?

Let’s break it down—and show you how switching to a reusable menstrual disc could save you thousands.

The Cost of Disposable Menstrual Products

On average, Australian menstruators spend about $15 to $20 per month on disposable period products like pads, tampons, and liners.

Over a year, that’s around $180 to $240.
Over five years? That’s $900 to $1,200.

And that’s assuming prices don’t rise with inflation (spoiler: they probably will).

Not to mention the emergency runs to the shops, products that irritate your skin, and the pile of waste that ends up in landfill.

Now Let’s Talk About Our Reusable Menstrual Disc

Meet your period’s new BFF: the Mimi® Menstrual Disc. It’s:

✅ Reusable for up to 5 years
✅ Made for comfort (even with IUDs, prolapse, or a low cervix)
✅ Designed to collect—not absorb—so you can wear it longer with less waste

One payment. One product. Five years of use.

Compare that to $1,000+ worth of disposables? That’s a no-brainer.

Bonus: It’s Better for the Planet, Too

While your wallet breathes a sigh of relief, so does the planet.
The average person throws away 10,000+ pads or tampons in their lifetime. Our disc replaces hundreds—if not thousands—of them.

That means less waste, fewer trips to the bin, and a smaller environmental footprint.
