Pixie Menstrual Disc Applicator for Feminine Care - Inserts Like A Tampon - Every Woman Can Now Use Period Discs - Perfect for Long Nails - Self Sanitizer TPE Properties (Disc Applicator)

A friend convinced me to try a disc after years of only doing tampons. I have a very heavy day and was convinced it wouldn’t work for me. I was wrong! Now it wasn’t perfect but it outweighed the misery of tampons. Some cons I found was the larger disc pushes against my bladder on my heavier day so I have to pee a lot, but that helps with auto dumping and prevented a lot of leaks. Small leaking on my one super heavy day but not even as much as when I wore super tampons and changed them every other hr. so that was still a win. The pull tab was very uncomfortable, I cut it down twice and now I can’t feel it. The smaller one may as well not even be there, can’t feel a thing. Set it and forget it for hrs, thats a huge bonus. I appreciate the disc inserter, but also easy to insert without it if I needed. I gave my daughter the rest of my tampons, never going back.

I know this is listed as a menstrual cup product but it helps me so much with my Nuvaring! I have a high tilted cervix so manual insertion can be pretty uncomfortable. This made the process less than a minute and super easy. I love that it doubles as a carry case too!

The applicator is easy to use (after a few tries) and very easy to clean. The tip is silicone so is easy to insert, especially when combined with the pixie lubricant. It is a less messy way to use the disc, especially in a public bathroom setting. The only negative I found was the sides of the applicator is hard plastic and the bit where the silicone meets the hard plastic is uncomfortable.

I can honestly say that switching from traditional tampons to menstrual discs has always been something I’ve wanted to try, but I was seriously intimidated by the idea of inserting a disc. The thought of trying to get the positioning right without making a mess or feeling uncomfortable had me hesitant for a while. But then I discovered the **Menstrual Disc Applicator**, and WOW, this product completely changed the game for me! First off, I have to admit I was a little nervous to even try it. I’ve always used tampons, and the idea of switching to a disc felt a bit... overwhelming. But as soon as I used the applicator, all those fears melted away. It’s SO easy to use, and it made the whole insertion process feel just like using a tampon. No awkward maneuvering, no mess, and absolutely no stress. The applicator is designed to help you insert the menstrual disc comfortably and securely. It guides the disc into place exactly where it needs to be, and I was able to do it in one smooth, quick motion. It’s super intuitive, even for someone who’s never used a disc before! The feeling of the disc once it’s in place is also surprisingly comfortable. I barely felt it, which is such a relief. The applicator helps with that perfect fit that I was worried I wouldn't get on my own. I could go about my day without even thinking about it, which was a huge plus. What I love most about this product is the *confidence* it gives me. I no longer have to worry about insertion techniques or dealing with leaks, and I can enjoy all the benefits of the menstrual disc without the stress. It’s honestly been a game changer for me, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who's been hesitant to make the switch from tampons or pads. If you’ve been curious about menstrual discs but were worried about the insertion process—this applicator is exactly what you need to make that transition smooth and easy. I’m officially a convert, and I’m so glad I gave it a try! I seriously cannot wait to try more of Pixie’s products! --- (PS - if you haven’t already, I would also highly recommend this company’s TENS unit for menstrual cramps!)

Ok so short story long… I didn’t start using tampons until my early 20s because I was just always too tense or didn’t get it in enough to not feel it. Never went back to pads during the day after I finally got the hang of those - I’ll still wear pads at night to “air stuff out.” Fast forward to last year when I decided as a 37 year old Mom of one to try a cup, but with an applicator. I need the applicator. There’s no way I’m comfortable enough with not having an applicator. I bought one, tried it maybe twice with intentions to continue, but then found out I was pregnant the following month with our double rainbow. Fast forward to this October when my period came back again in full force after a year of absence. They’ve been a little heavy, but nothing crazy, and still very regular, as I’ve always been. Last week I said you know what… let me try a disc this time. The cup has a weird suction thing it needs to do, and the little tab on the bottom wasn’t really enough for me to feel comfortable, so I searched around a bit. A friend of mine loves the discs, but again - applicator needed! And string/tab necessary too. So I said screw it, let me try it. Well, got my period yesterday and used the smaller one. The applicator is a bit harder at first, but more comfortable than the cup’s was. My first shot, I got it in there, but I don’t think it was quite high enough because I could feel it a bit when sitting and walking around. The “string” is perfect size - I was worried it might hang on the outside, but it doesn’t, and it’s close enough that I don’t have to uncomfortably dig in there to get it out. So I left it in for about 2hrs… no leaking, came out easy! Ok, we’re on to something here. Today, I decided to try it out again, but made sure I went in a little further. Boom. It was in. I felt nothing. I had that baby in for 9hrs without any leaking, and it was so comfortable. That’s it. That’s a wrap. I’m never going back. I’ll keep some tampons in my bag for my fellow ladies, but man, I will RAVE about this at any chance I can get! I literally texted like 5 friends about it because I’m so amazed at how comfortable and easy it is. Only negative so far was the second removal.. clearly had a bit more collected, so it was a bit of a crime scene, but that’ll just be a learning curve. I cannot emphasize enough - if I can be comfortable and successful with this - YOU CAN TOO! just trust yourself and your body, and you will never go back! Seriously about to post on Facebook about how pumped I am to have been able to use this! So if you’re on the fence - just buy it! This is perfect for beginners and I swear, the thought of having something way more natural that I can wear a whole day at work (when I return from maternity leave in a week 😭,) is beyond exciting. It’s the little things, ladies. Just get it. You won’t regret it!

Don’t be like me and try to insert it without the lube. It just will not work. All in all it’s a good concept idea but I think I’ll stick to just shoving the disc in. Not because I don’t think this would work well, but because I don’t think this will be able to insert it the way I need it to.

I have never been able to wear tampons. I would pass out attempting to insert them...😂. So I been a pad-only girl for years. Even after getting married (which is when I thought I could maybe handle the tampon thing), but it just never happened. Now that I've given birth to three babies, I'm a little more willing to try something new. Periods with reusable pads are a bloody mess and these kids got questions I just ain't ready to fully answer yet, but I can understand why they want to know why it looks like a murder scene in the toilet with bloody pads draining into the diaper pail (which leads to the toilet). So I tried the Pixie cup and ultimately decided it wasn't for me because I could still feel it in there and I couldn't NOT think about it. The disc seemed very intimidating because of how high up it gets inserted. I tried it anyway, but since I don't love getting all up in my business like that, I could never get it 100% right. I have no desire to feel my cervix and I couldn't get it back far enough on my own. Tucking the disc behind the pubic bone was my limit, but the disc would ultimately turn sideways on me after a couple of hours. I was beginning to give up hope when the applicator was introduced! It makes sense for tampon users 😂 and probably feels intuitive to some people. It's not that hard to use and lube definitely helps. Once you get the angle of insertion correct, it's basically done! This tool has accomplished for me what I could not do on my own, and I'm so grateful for it! It's day one of my cycle and I can't feel the disc at all and I'm not leaking...well, maybe from my eyes a bit because I'm so happy that the applicator helped me figure this out after trying and failing for many cycles. It works great!

Makes the switch from disposable to reusable a breeze! Super easy instructions, just be sure it’s tucked up under your pubic bone fully after using it.
