Pixie Menstrual Disc Kit - No Metals or Toxins - Pixie Discs are Designed to Remove Like Tampons - 100% Medical-Grade Silicone - Best Period Disc Starter Kit - Proven to Become A Successful Disc User

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!

It's got everything you need to get started. Some things seemed unnecessary at first, but I bought it anyway because there's 2 disc sizes for a reasonable price plus a bunch of extras. The lube is a must-have for inserting the larger disc, personally. I've never boiled a menstrual cup in 5 years of use and have never gotten any infection of any sort down there, but the sanitizing cup still came in handy after I dropped the disc in the toilet. Being able to soak it in water and cup wash and aggressively slosh soapy water through the little holes on the disc gave me peace of mind. I haven't used the stain remover and wipes yet, although there is a little stain. The tail lets you remove the disc way more conveniently and quickly than trying to grasp and untuck the disc from behind your pubic bone. I wanted to like the small disc because it's easier to insert without lube, but for a very high cervix it takes too much fiddling to get it right under the cervix and then it moves out of place too easily and causes some pain when it's just bumping against the cervix. Some people online write that people with high cervices might actually be more comfortable with smaller discs, it all depends, but after actually trying one I don't think that's right, at least for a small disc THIS small. If you have a very high cervix you can barely reach, I'd say try the large and medium discs, don't even bother with the small. Overall, good value, very helpful tail, and if you have a high cervix I suggest sticking to large and medium discs.

I'd been using Softcups (rebranded to Softdiscs) disposable discs as an alternative material option off and on for years, but they had enough flaws that I wasn't comfortable using them consistently and most period underwear can't keep up with my heavy flow (those that do get a bit uncomfortable after a full day of working and period-ing)...So when I first started seeing reusable discs, I was completely on board. I've tried at least four brands and can say that for me Pixie is BY FAR the most comfortable to wear, easiest to insert and remove, and least likely to leak. Getting discs properly inserted is paramount to avoiding leaks or untimely emptying (yes, this has happened to me with other discs, no I couldn't save the pants). Thankfully Pixie's silicone material is stronger than it looks, but is still soft enough that it's comfortable to wear 99% of the time; there's a great pliability to firmness ratio which means it can "pinch" pretty easily, but won't fold up on itself the second you try to insert it or fly out of your hands across the bathroom or straight into the toilet if you don't have a voice grip. It also "opens" easily once you let go - no having to fight with it to get it into place or do a weird dance standing over the toilet (unless you want to, I guess - you do you). I was worried that the "tail" might irritate my bits (I'm prone to uti's if there's too much -erm- jostling in certain areas) or would snap right off the first time I tried to remove the disc, but so far I have had zero issues. By the time I got this kit I was already kind of an old pro at inserting, removing, and emptying discs in general, but the wipes and lube included do make the process much easier and save me from some of the anxiety caused by having to empty my disc while out/at work. Oh, and in case you're curious (I was, and you're welcome), you probably don't want to use the lube for anything *else*; it dries/absorbs relatively quickly and has a less than pleasant flavor.II did have one instance of leakage, but that was my own learning curve issue of knowing the "feel" of this disc being properly inserted and whether or not the shape was conducive to it self-correcting (it's not, in my case. If it's not placed right, I need to take it out and try again).Side note for those shopping around: My second favorite is the reusable disc by Cora, which that works great, but is an absolute pain to insert and remove without feeling like I need a surgical crew on standby (yes, even with the "convenient" tab you're supposed to be able to grip with a finger). Apparently I have a higher-sitting cervix and shorter fingers than whoever that disc is designed for.
