Back ANU Disc by DelivHer on Kickstarter
For decades, the menstrual care industry has sold products that were never built with heavy bleeders in mind. The architecture of most discs and cups was designed around “average flow” a standard that excludes millions of women. Heavy bleeders have had to live with leaks, self-empty moments, stained clothes, ruined days, and constant anxiety about when the next embarrassing moment will strike. Companies call it “self-emptying,” as if it’s a convenience. But anyone who has ever experienced it knows the truth: when a menstrual disc empties at the wrong time, it isn’t helpful it’s humiliating. The industry ignored the needs of heavy bleeders, expecting women to silently adjust, double up, or make do. That problem ends now, because someone finally built a solution specifically for them.
Before designing anything, we listened. Heavy bleeders shared stories of laughs that turned into leaks, meetings cut short because of flooding, or long commutes filled with tension and fear. They talked about unpredictable clots, sudden gushes, and the emotional exhaustion of planning life around their cycle. What we heard again and again was not just frustration it was an urgent need for safety, confidence, and dignity. Every layer of the Anu Disc™ was developed in direct response to those conversations. Every feature retention, clot containment, leak protection, comfort was engineered around the lived reality of heavy flow. This disc exists because women finally had a product designer who listened.
Heavy menstrual fluid behaves differently from lighter flow. Its viscosity varies. Its volume surges unpredictably. It responds dramatically to pelvic floor movement when you sneeze, laugh, cough, or lift something. Most menstrual discs are not engineered to handle these rapid-pressure changes, which is why they “self-empty” involuntarily. The Anu Disc™ solves this through a patented triple-layer retention system: one layer dedicated to catching clots, another engineered to lock in fluid under pressure, and a barrier layer that ensures nothing spills out during removal. This is not a cosmetic improvement it’s a structural reinvention of how a menstrual disc can function.
Innovation requires patience, and this product was not rushed. After seven prototypes, countless fittings, material trials, and user feedback loops, every inch of the Anu Disc™ was refined to solve one problem: provide reliable, mess-free protection for heavy bleeders. Women tested it across full workdays, long commutes, long shifts, postpartum recovery, strength training, and sleep. Each round of feedback shaped new improvements. The goal was never “good enough” the goal was perfect protection under the toughest real-world conditions.
This entire journey began in pain, embarrassment, and determination. Chanté Knox, founder, inventor, and the mind behind the Anu Disc™, experienced one of the worst nightmares any menstruating person can imagine: she was seated during a conference with hundreds of people in attendance when she suddenly sneezed. In that instant, the disc self-emptied. She felt the warm rush as she leaked through her clothes, right there in her seat. A man behind her gently tapped her on the shoulder and said, “Ma’am… you have blood running down your leg.” Heart pounding, she stood up, gathered her belongings, and walked out, making her way to the restroom while fighting the humiliation of knowing so many had witnessed it.
The only menstrual disc with true mess-free removal
The only menstrual disc that does not leak on heavy days
Confidence should never depend on whether your period product holds up. The Anu Disc™ is designed to make your entire day predictable, calm, and comfortable. Whether you're in a meeting, at the gym, on a date, traveling, sitting through a long class, or working a double shift, this disc stays put, stays sealed, and stays secure. You don’t clench. You don’t calculate bathroom breaks. You don’t check your clothes every hour. You simply live your life without interruption.
Comfort is not a luxury, it's a requirement. The Anu Disc™ becomes flexible at body temperature, molding naturally to your body's shape for an invisible, effortless fit. Its easy-grip rim ensures smooth insertion and removal, and its ergonomic structure stays stable, without shifting or collapsing under pressure. With this disc, comfort and security work together, not against each other.
Most discs rely on a simple bowl-shape design that cannot withstand pressure changes, making leaks inevitable for heavy bleeders. The Anu Disc™ takes a different approach entirely. The patented triple-layer retention system manages flow at every stage, whether it's a slow release, a sudden gush, or clot-rich fluid. This is what makes it the first disc truly engineered for heavy flow not just average flow wearing the label “heavy.”
Young girls entering menstruation for the first time shouldn’t be taught fear, shame, or panic. They shouldn’t learn to expect leaks or to live with anxiety. This product is more than a technical innovation; it’s a step toward a future where menstrual care finally evolves. A future where heavy periods don’t limit confidence, participation, or joy. A future where daughters, nieces, and younger sisters experience period care without compromise.
