Pixie Menstrual Disc Kit - No Metals or Toxins - 100% Medical-Grade Silicone - Best Period Disc Starter Kit - Removes Like a Tampon - Proven to Become A Successful Menstrual Disc User

Update: I have found that practicing the scooping method when using the disc works really well. So far it seems to be in place and there have been no leaks. Admittedly, I'm only at the beginning of my cycle so time will tell as I get a bit heavier whether it is in place properly or not. For those that might find the pull string a bit uncomfortable, I found tucking it under the bottom of the disc keeps it out of the way and prevents rubbing but is also then easy to access when you need to pull the cup out. ----------- Original review: I bought these because I was desperate to get away from big towels, especially during the heatwave. I find the idea of these easier and a little less 'invasive' than cups especially as there is no suction holding it in place so you can easily pull it out (my hands get stiff from time to time so I lose movability). I found it easy to put in, however, on the day I used them my cervix decided to shift towards my tail bone and I found, even with the applicator, I couldn't quite get it 'tucked' at the back. So I invested in the pixie cup too. This isn't a fault with the product and I have kept them for the days my cervix behaves itself as I felt it was much easier to put the disc in than the cup, especially with checking if it had opened properly. Pros- Excellent bundle. Having 2 different sizes helps you to find your 'fit'. The sanitising bowl is fantastic. I used it both ways, in the microwave and with boiled water fresh from the kettle. Easy to do either. Having the cleansing gel and wipes means you always know your product is clean before reuse. The travel lube is handy too, so if you do need to empty and reuse your disc whilst out it means you don't need to carry a big pump/bottle around with you. The little canvas bags are colour matched to the colour of the disc which makes it easier to see which size you're grabbing without having to open them all. And they all fit nicely in the black bag for monthly storage. Cons- If your cervix shifts you may find it a bit tricky to get into the right position. It is possible but requires a bit of practice, which is why I'll try again on my next cycle, even if I shift, to see if I can get it to work. ******** Frustratingly, I cannot review the applicator separately so I will do it here. I found this applicator is very good for helping to keep the disc folded during insertion as, due to my hands, I was finding it tricky to keep it folded. Being able to change the end of the 'plunger' part to match the size of the disc is also handy. The only issue I have is the cleaning aspect. Yes, it can be cleaned with water and a suitable cleanser but I find it tricky to rinse inside the applicator, especially if it's been a messy insertion. Having a small brush like item to help with this would make it even better. It is larger than a super plus tampon but I found using lube made using this really easy. Definitely worth the investment if you struggle to keep your disc folded whilst inserting.

**Initial Review** Wrong kit sent to me and missing the smallest disc. The kit I ordered included the applicator (see screengrabs) but I've received the kit without the applicator (see photos). I've contacted Pixie Cup directly to resolve the issue. Once I get a response I'll update my review and rating accordingly. The disc received feels good quality but it does look rather large and not sure how it'll fit, time will tell when period arrives. I use cups occasionally but I don't like that I can't reach to remove them easily so thought I'd try discs instead. Also wanted something that can be used during sex. I'll update review if my issues are resolved accordingly and after using the product. Won't allow me to upload the photo and screenshot! *****Updated review***** **Seller** I contacted the seller re the issues above. They sent the missing items out quickly. Although Amazon driver left them on my doorstep and I was away overnight. Luckily the parcel was there when I arrived home which makes a change! **Product review** I've used the large disc and haven't had any issues with use, but removal is messy. I used the lubricant included for the first few insertions. The applicator was sent seperate so couldn't try this. However, the insertion was easy, much easier than anticipated and so much easier than the cups I've used previously. Used for 12 hours without leaks, even on day 2 of my period which is very heavy and I have to change every 1-2 hours. Used 8 hours on this day which is great for me. It auto empties when peeing which is bizarre to me, however I like this as it means I can change it less. Removal is easy using the 'tassel' but it can be messy, I wouldn't want to do this anywhere but home, but maybe I'll change my mind on that in the future as my technique improves. I cut off the tassel on my replacement disc so that we could use this for sex. My partner couldn't feel it and it didn't leak. It was emptied prior to sex, I'd recommend this for less chance of leakage. I've removed the disc without the 'tassel', it was easy to hook it with finger when bearing down and it removed easily but was messy. Luckily I was in the shower so the mess was easily resolved. I'm converted. I'll use discs going forward, with panty liners just in case it does leak at any point.

I have been a cup user for several years and loved my cup until it broke, the replacement just wasn't up to much. After some researching I decided to try a pixie disk and am so glad I went for this pack. The choice of 2 disk sizes is great, although I have only tried the larger one so far, as well as the wash, steriliser, lube, stain remover and large carry bag. The disk itself is amazing! This is my first cycle using it and I have been so impressed. The first few times inserting were a little difficult and needed reinsertion a few times as it wasn't properly inserted but after a few attempts I got the hang of it, 4 days in and I'm a pro. I have had no leaks which is impressive after 2 runs (5km on 2nd day and a 6km), dance workout, gardening and 2 days in work (school so lots of getting up and down off the carpet). I barely feel it once inserted although I do tuck the tail up as it sits slightly uncomfortable if left to hang but I am reluctant to remove as it is very helpful when removing the disk. I would recommend this to anyone that is considering a new form of menstrual protection, it is fanatic.

I am glad Pixie decided to make an applicator because as a first time disc user, I was having a lot of trouble getting the hang of insertion without it. It does require a bit of force to push the disc into place, especially the bigger one but I find it much much easier than doing that hands only. And it seems this is the only brand that thought of that so definitely a game changer! I was about to insert it and it was perfectly positioned on the first try.

Lo compré porque incluía un aplicador y al llegar no lo incluía… de hecho, la imagen que aparece ahora es como me llegó pero no era la que aparecía cuando lo compre…

This review is a bit late, as I bought this kit last year. However, it took a few months of practice and more months of regular wear before I felt comfortable giving it a proper review. I love this little disc. It's SO much more comfortable than pads and even tampons. I've been wanting to move away from disposable supplies and use something more sustainable and the Pixie Cup was my first foray into reusable menstrual supplies. While there was a bit of a learning curve, it was pretty easy to use! If you can insert a tampon, you can insert the Pixie Cup. I did have a few issues with positioning the disc once inserted, but there are plenty of videos/resources online that help with that. I also appreciated that the Pixie Cup comes with a removal string. I've been hesitant to try a menstrual cup, because I've heard a lot about the suction issues (😬), so I love it. The kit comes with everything you need to maintain the disc, including cleaning solution, a soaking cup and lubrication (which is really helpful when prepping for the start of your cycle). My only gripe is that the wipes it comes with aren't individually packaged; that would have been a great help for use on the go. On a final note, I love that this is a semi-local small business (yay, Missouri!). If you've been curious about trying a menstrual disc, this is a great starting place. The choice of sizes, provided cleaning supplies and neat little bag make it well worth the money!

Malgré le mode d'emploi, ce n'est pas du tout aisé de positionner correctement la coupe. Le plastique étant lisse, il est glissant et ce n'est pas facile de pousser la cup.

Super pratique j'adore facile a utiliser
