product no. 01 · the disc
6–7years
that’s roughly how long you’ll spend on your period.
if your period means no sex, that’s six to seven years of your life where your sex life just… pauses. nobody talks about that.
the math: about 450 periods in a lifetime1 × 5–6 days each ≈ 2,250–2,700 days.
the part nobody says out loud
sex isn’t a bonus. it’s part of your health.
not our opinion. it’s the world health organization’s.2 and yet a week of it gets written off every month, and we’re all supposed to shrug.
“sexual health is fundamental to the overall health and well-being of individuals, couples and families.”

why cherry exists
being a woman comes with a list of annoying things we’ve all agreed to just put up with.
- cancelling plans because of your period
- the towel. you know the towel.
- saying “not this week” and hoping they don’t ask why
- the white sheets you will never buy
- products designed like it’s a hospital, marketed like it’s a yoga retreat
we’re making products for the problems women have been told to just accept. starting with this one.
so, the disc
a disposable menstrual disc, for less messy period sex.
a tampon or cup sits in the vaginal canal. a disc sits higher, tucked at the base of the cervix behind the pubic bone, which leaves the canal open. yes, that means what you think it means.
a disc isn’t birth control and doesn’t protect against STIs. bodies are different, so “less mess” is the honest promise, not “no mess.”
still have questions?
can you actually have sex with one in? will someone feel it? cup or disc? we answer the awkward ones on the hotline.
