I didn't realize it came as a whole little kit, I was so pleasantly suprised! I love that they include the canvas zipper storage case - this is so handy for storage, or for packing when you know Aunt Flo is supposed to come soon. All the little trial size cleaner and sanitizer packets are awesome! It comes with clear, pictorial instructions on how to insert and remove the disc, if this is your first time trying out a disc, and instructions on how to remove the string if you decide you don't like it (along with a sanding board to sand any rough edges it may leave when you remove it). As for the disc itself - This is the 3rd disc I have tried, and the first that can completely handle my heavy day with ZERO leaking! It took me a few seconds to figure out the right angle to get this one in, with the curved edge. Once inserted, it's very comfortable, you don't feel a thing, and I had no problems with the angle after the first insertion. I ordered the large, as I'm on my feet all day, and on my heavier day it's not always convenient to take it out, empty, and rinse, several times during the day. This completely held my heaviest day with no leaking at all. So nice to not be sitting in blood! It does auto-dump when you pee, but I had zero leaking outside of that. By the 3rd day, I felt so confident with it, I tried it without even wearing a panty liner, and got one tiny drop. I think the curved design helps it fit tighter to your body and keeps it from leaking out behind the disc. I did find if I was sitting for awhile, I occasionally had to dash into the bathroom to reposition the silicone string, but you can't feel the disc at all. NOTE: If this is your first disc, I found it took me a cycle or two with my first disc to really get the hang of getting it positioned right so it doesn't leak. If you don't make sure you get it back all the way, it will leak out behind the disc. Also, I just run my disc under warm water before inserting, and this works for me without a lubricant! Read more
I switched to the Pixie menstrual disc, and I can confidently say it’s the best disc I’ve ever used! Having tried various brands like Nixit, Lumma, Diva, Saalt, Hello, Flex, June, and Cora, none compare to the Pixie. As someone with a heavier flow due to multiple fibroids, I’ve struggled with leakage in the past, but since using the Pixie disc, I’ve experienced zero leaks! The firm yet soft shell, made from 100% medical-grade silicone, fits my anatomy perfectly. The unique oblong shape is a game-changer, providing comfort and security throughout the day. One of my favorite features is the adjustable pull stem for easy removal, which adds to the overall convenience. I can confidently wear the disc for up to 12 hours (and even a bit longer!) without any mess or stress. This disc has truly transformed my period experience, making it much more tolerable and stress-free. I highly recommend the Pixie menstrual disc to anyone considering switching to menstrual discs or exploring their options. You won’t regret it! Read more
I've had it for over a year now, so I can confidently say that this disc is the GOAT of all period products. Since I've bought it they did come out with a medium size that I think would match my flow better, but even the large size is easy to insert! No leaks, it empties when you go to use the restroom, doesn't use suction like cups do (for all the folks out there that might have an IUD!), and even helps to keep period sex *less* messy. These are all things that they advertise, but I'm happy to say that it follows thru on every point! Sterilizing between uses is easy (I've opted for a little pot that I use specifically for my disc and boil it for 5-10 minutes), and I haven't had any problems with tears in the disc itself. It does come with a little tampon-like string to help you adjust to it, but I opted to cut it off (and they even give you a little file to sand it down smooth lol). I'm being 100% serious when I say this is the first time I've ever been motivated to write a review on a product but it's genuinely the best $20 I've spent on myself, and I know it'll last for years! The one thing that I *will* say is that on the former/latter ends of your period when your flow might be lighter, it can take some more effort to insert it, so on those days I use a bit of lube to help things along (also from Pixie lol). Not necessary, but def helps! Thank yall to whoever made this at Pixie, you have my gratitude <333 Read more
