Abstract
A menstrual disc with a foldable rim and a catchment portion. The rim is configured with a removal mechanism that is positioned attached to the rim such that it does not interfere with the anatomical position of the disc when in use. Accordingly, many embodiments of the disc use a removal mechanism such a filament or tab that is positioned interior to the rim or below the lower surface of the rim.
