“I went to three pharmacies and none of them even knew what it was.” That’s the message we get every week from readers trying to figure out where to buy a menstrual disc<\/strong> \u2014 in Spain, today, it’s still a small odyssey. Here’s the honest answer upfront: your neighborhood pharmacy almost never has it, Mercadona simply doesn’t carry it, and online you’ll find everything \u2014 the good and the questionable. At Sileu we don’t sell menstrual discs (not yet), so we’re not here to push ours on you: we’re here to tell you what’s actually available in each channel, how much it costs, how to tell a decent disc from a bargain-bin one, and when a cup like the Sileu Tulip<\/a> solves exactly the same problem for \u20ac14.99.<\/p>\n\n

What a menstrual disc is (and how it differs from the cup)<\/h2>\n
\"Comparison
Disc and cup both collect flow, but they rest on different points of the vaginal canal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The menstrual disc is a flexible ring with a membrane that collects blood. Unlike the cup, it doesn’t seal by suction: it rests at the back of the vaginal canal, behind the pubic bone, sitting almost horizontally under the cervix. The cup, on the other hand, is a bell shape that sits lower and stays in place through gentle suction. Both are reusable (the silicone ones), both can be worn for up to 12 hours, and both collect instead of absorb. If the concept sounds familiar from our guide to choosing your first cup<\/a>, it’s because the physics is the same: only the resting point changes.<\/p>\n

Why is everyone suddenly talking about it? Because it promises two specific things: being able to have penetrative sex without removing it (the cup doesn’t allow that<\/a>) and fitting well with a very low cervix. In exchange, it takes more practice to insert, it’s more awkward to empty, and “self-emptying” when you use the bathroom \u2014 its famous selling point \u2014 many users describe in practice as a hard-to-control downside.<\/p>\n\n

Menstrual disc: where to buy it by channel (pharmacy, Mercadona, online)<\/h2>\n

At physical pharmacies<\/strong> the disc is still a minority product: a large city chain might carry one or two brands, but usually they have to special-order it, at a price around \u20ac25-35. If a pharmacy carries cups, it’s often easier for them to get you a cup than a disc \u2014 the distributor is the same and the disc turns over slowly. The situation mirrors what we already covered with the menstrual cup at pharmacies<\/a>: it exists, sure; whether it’s worth it depends.<\/p>\n

At Mercadona, Carrefour, and other supermarkets<\/strong>, let’s be clear: there’s no menstrual disc for sale today. Mercadona sells pads, tampons, and little else in menstrual hygiene; we covered this in depth in our review of what Mercadona and Carrefour actually sell<\/a>. If any chain adds it someday, it’ll likely be a single reference with no size options \u2014 the supermarket format doesn’t allow for advising on a product that requires matching your anatomy.<\/p>\n

Online, you’ll find everything<\/strong>: serious European brands with certified silicone (\u20ac20-35), and unbranded discs for \u20ac6-10 on marketplaces, with no technical sheet, no material certification, and clumsily translated descriptions. With a product that’s going to spend 12 hours inside your body, the minimum filter is the same one we’d demand for a cup: medical-grade silicone with ISO 10993 certification, a size specified in millimeters, and a seller with real support you can actually contact. It’s the same criteria we apply in our general guide to where to buy a menstrual cup in Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
