Menstrual Disc - No Metals or Toxins - 100% Medical-Grade Silicone - Ranked 1 for Most Soft Reusable Period Disc - Removes Like a Tampon - Wear 12 Hours - Capacity of 3 Tampons (Small)

I like how easy it is to insert and remove which has been a stressor with the cups for me. However, it stained immediately after use and despite boiling, it won't be clean Update: seller has offered to ship a stain remover along with a plum color disc that doesn't stain. Haven't received it yet, but they are very responsive and I had to add additional stars.

Okay so i now have two of this disc but that is because i wasn't paying attention when I bought the blue one and it was a large. So it wasn't comfortable when I would insert it. It was still uncomfortable when I say down and I felt pressure on my bladder. So i went back and ordered the small and this is so much better. That was my mistake though, not this company's. I almost have about everything this company has and I have really no complaints on their products except for one but that's just the way the product was made (I assume) I still use it though because it works. But yeah, check the sizing before you buy. I have not had any births but sometimes my menstrual cycle can be heavy so with cups I use a large but with the disc I have to use a small. Now if you're a first time user, let me explain how to help you with it. If you don't have their lubricant for disc or cups, wet it with water. But first make sure your hands are clean!!! After wetting/lubricanting the disc, fold/pinch the middle to make them come together so it will kind of look like a hour glass shape. Do this in the shower by sitting on your heels or if you feel confident enough, the toliet when sitting down. When inserting, point down and slowly push forward until you feel a wall (cervix) and gently tilt up some. The hour glass shape you made will unfold itself once it's sitting nicely in the vaginal cavity. You will feel it some at first because you have something new inside of you, but you will get use to it. I do recommend that you use a pad when using a disc or cup at first until you get the hang of it. Now for removing: you can do this in your shower/tub or if you're really good at it, at the toliet. So you're going for the shower, squat or crouch down on your heels. Make sure your hands are clean everytime you insert or remove. Grab the tail or rim of the disc and slowly pull up. Pull the way your cavity is formed so it won't be uncomfortable. It will be messy until you find your pattern so this is why so many recommend the shower to remove the disc. Even a menstrual cup. I remove both at the toliet so it's not so messy, but this is me. Then dump, wash out the remains or use a wipe if you're not at home and reinsert. Always try not to panic if you don't get it the first time. If you're tense, then removing will be difficult. Just relax, breathe, and go slowly. It will be a cake walk once you get the routine down. For washing/putting away after the cycle has ended, sanitize your cup/disc. Either with their steamers or you boil your disc in a pot of water for 5-8 minutes. What I do is, I use the pixie cup wash, then place it into the steamer and once it's done and dry, I to its baggie and into my drawer for the next cycle. Also please, please, please before using wash and boil your cup/disc/kegel weight before using. Always keep your hands clean when removing and inserting as well.

I couldn’t work out how to remove it without getting blood all over my hands but Pixie swapped it for a cup which I use normally and they do a really good size small cup so perfect!

Okay! I ordered this product a while ago, but I wanted to wait until I had used it a few times to be able to write an honest and comprehensive review. So here it is: I have used tampons and pads, the more 'traditional' period products forever. After recent studies showing trace amounts of metal in tampons, I decided to switch to reusable period products. Yes, I know the amount of metal isn't deadly, but I thought this would be a good way to reduce waste and save some money as well. At first, I tried a menstrual cup, which didn't work for me at all. I had tried one-use discs in the past with no luck, so I was a little skeptical about trying this, but I ended up getting it anyway to see if this was any different. I would say that this is a good product and is MUCH easier to use than a menstrual cup. Along with this, if you get squeamish around blood I would recommend purchasing the applicator that the company offers separately since it can get a little messy. Also, I only purchased the small size thinking I wouldn't need/be able to use the larger size, but as the company suggests I would recommend the combo pack since I do find myself cleaning the disc multiple times throughout a heavy flow day. Now for the parts that maybe aren't so great: 1. it does get a little messy, and is a bit hard to deal with in a public space, but I have found workarounds 2. the 'auto-empty' feature: I think I may just be skeptical, I do think it works, but sometimes I'm not sure it 're-positions' itself correctly 3. I'm not always 100% sure I've placed it correctly, and it has leaked. I think this is due to the need for more practice to figure out how exactly to place it. WOW! If you made it all the way down here, good for you! (I'm glad you took the time to read, I read so many reviews trying to decide whether or not I wanted to buy this product) But short and sweet, I think that this is a great product if you want to try reusable period products and a menstrual cup didn't work for you, or just freaks you out, it is a little friendlier. But I hope this helped, and the information was good, thanks for reading!

A mi primer hija le compré la copa y a ella desde un principio le funcionó muy bien, entonces cuando mi segunda hija estuvo lista para también intentar usar la copa se la compré, pero a ella no le funcionó y fue que decidí ir por el disco y ahora ella está muy contenta, porque le funcionó muy bien. Y yo que soy la mamá, llevo usando la copa como 11 años y me alegra de que ahora mis hijas encontraron lo que mejor les funcionó para ellas. Ahora ellas se lo recomiendan a sus amigas. Pixie me gustó mucho, porque es una compañía que sus productos son de calidad y que tienen muy buena disposición para ayudar cuando uno se pone en comunicación con ellos. Muy contenta con Pixie lo recomiendo ampliamente.
