Pixie 2 Menstrual Discs for Feminine Care - 100% Medical-Grade Silicone - Ranked 1 for Softest Reusable Period Disc - Removes Like a Tampon - Wear 12 Hours - Capacity of 5 and 7 Tampons

The product itself looks and feels to be of superior quality and the packaging is cute, functional, and comes with some handy extras like feminine wipes and lubricant to help with inserting the disc. I ordered these discs in hopes of spending less money (my period is heavy and lasts 8 days, so I go through a lot of tampons) and reducing my impact on the environment. I went with the discs over the cups because I had tried disposable cups from another brand some 15 years ago and I could just not figure out how to get it inserted correctly. Then again, that company didn't have multiple instructional videos like Pixie does on proper application. Anyway, I bought the discs (and the applicator, separately). I was able to to get it inserted first try, and I'm fairly certain it was inserted completely and correctly, and it was comfortable! I thought all was well until I experienced "dumping" which may have only been a small release of the contents of the disc, and it may have only happened while I was otherwise relieving myself, but with my super heavy flow and prior experiences bleeding through whatever menstrual product I was wearing, I was a little too paranoid about leaking that I have decided this product is probably not for me. I want it to be known I didn't actually leak (other than a few drops after using the toilet) in the few days I tried out the disc, but the anxiety around the possibility of leaking was too much. Why did I give the product 5 stars? Well, first of all, it's a great product, and seems to work out for plenty of other people. Just not for me. More importantly though, is because of Pixies customer service. I reached out to them hoping they might have some way to help with my situation, as I had spent a decent amount of money on the few Pixie items I felt I needed to start my reusable period product journey (The money spent however pales in comparison to the money I've spent on tampons alone over the course of half a year). Pixie responded - so swiftly - letting me know they'd have a set of cups sent to me to try within the next few days. Free of charge and no questions asked. I'd done research before buying the discs. I vaguely remember reading something in a review about "dumping". I'd researched the cups and saw there were instructional videos available that didn't exist 15 years ago. All those things told me to buy the cups and despite all that I went for the discs. But this company clearly values their mission over profits and for that, I can't recommend them enough.

It is a learning curve, but after almost a year and a half, I can definitely say I prefer using this over tampons. Just knowing what’s in them is worth trying. I definitely experience more leaks, but again it’s all about learning. It’s easy to put in, definitely easy in the shower like some people have said here! I don’t know how people cut off the tip and are able to find it, but that’s the only thing I ever find uncomfortable. If that is not where it’s supposed to be for me it’s very uncomfortable. Otherwise it’s just like a tampon and doesn’t even feel like it’s there. Knowing I’m not putting toxins in my body is definitely worth learning how to use this!!

After trying other products, I have reluctantly used pads for years and years. I hate them. My flows are extremely heavy and pads are so messy and take so long to change and clean up in the restroom. I have been thinking of trying disks for a while now and finally decided to bite the bullet. After my first week of using these, I am impressed. I did leak some, but I credit that to my inexperience with disks. Over all I am very happy. The ease of using the restroom is extremely relieving. I will say I am not a fan of the auto-dump and will keep figuring a way to eliminate it even though I'm aware that may not be possible. I don't understand how the company can claim it reduces cramps, I definitely did not notice a difference in that aspect. But the ease of insertion and removal, the ease of clean up, the ease of using the restroom now, all are reasons I will be buying another set and will use these the rest of my life. These disks are super comfortable. Even the large size was virtually unnoticeable. I will be recommending this product. 10/10 a life changer for me

I bought this a while back, and honestly, I didn't have the motivation to write a review about how good it is until now. This was my very first time using a disc, and I was nervous at first when I purchased it. But the research I did beforehand reassured me, and I'm so glad I went through with it. When it arrived, it came with clear, beginner-friendly directions that were surprisingly thoughtful. I really appreciated that. After sterilizing it, I decided to start with the medium size, and to my surprise, I didn't feel anything at all. It's as if it's not even there. I no longer feel blood leaking on my inner walls like I did with pads and tampons (which always gave me that gross, uncomfortable feeling). The design really does feel like a little cereal bowl that just sits there and catches everything perfectly. Overall, I absolutely love this disc and the company behind it! You've honestly made my periods so much less stressful. I hate them so much, but this has been a game changer. You're even the reason I decided to get off birth control because I finally had an alternative that worked. 😭😭 In my opinion, to the person reading this, you shouldn't put too much thought into the negative reviews about how it "feels" for them. Everyone's anatomy and comfort level are different, so those kinds of reviews are subjective. What worked (or didn't work) for someone else might not be your experience. If you're curious, do your research, follow the instructions, and give it a fair try. It might just change your period life like it did mine. But, thank you Pixie Cup! I'll definitely be buying more stuff from you guys! ❤❤❤

I’ve never encountered such good customer service and I’d recommend this brand to everyone. After i had a problem with my previous order, their team reached out to me and offered a replacement immediately. The discs are good quality and i love that they come in two different sizes so you can find the perfect fit for you. I can’t wait to use these and finally make the switch from cups to discs.

Super schlecht, Menstruationsscheibe nicht sicher, innerhalb einer Stunde Hose voller Blut, dazu die Peinlichkeit, da ich unterwegs war… Customer Service aber super, da sofort reagiert, daher auch die 2 Sterne. Ich will aber keine Rückerstattung, da es sich um Hygieneprodukte handelt, aber ich finde es schön, dass die Firma mir diese Möglichkeit angeboten hat.

Habe schon verschiedene Menstruationsscheiben gehabt,das ist die schlechteste. Einzig positiv zu bewerten, man kann sie gut rauszuholen. Ansonsten läuft das Teil bei starker Periode nach kurzer Zeit aus,obwohl größere genommen Gr. L. Andere vergleichbare halten deutlich länger. P.S. Kundendienst ist super. Von selbst auf mich zugekommen und Erstattung angeboten, da ich nicht zufrieden war.

Disc is Self-Emptying when using the loo, I would reccomened panty liners to be paired with this as it leaves excess in the vaginal canal after you have finished. I wish I’d done a bit more research before choosing this product. I actually quite like using this disc for light flow days, and it’s comfortable once you get the hang of it. Unlike tampons, I’d recommend choosing your size based on your anatomy — not your flow — as the sizes vary a lot in fit, not just capacity. They are easy to clean and feel hygienic. The kit itself is thoughtfully put together. While I personally don’t use the wipes or lube, it’s a nice bonus to have them included, especially with the travel bag. However, what let this product down for me was the lack of clear information — particularly around a key feature: this disc self-empties when you go to the toilet. This is actually an intended feature due to the shape and placement. This is currently mentioned lower down in the description but I would reccomened heading to their website for further info on this. I purchased this hoping for a cleaner, leak-free experience, but that hasn’t always been the case. It’s a shame because I may have chosen differently if this had been clearer upfront and gone for their cup. That said, I’ve heard better things about their cup (not the disc), which apparently creates a seal and doesn’t have the self-emptying feature — I hope to give that a try next. EDIT- the company has kindly reached out and offered me either a full refund, or their pixie cup combo kit instead. I will be trying the cup and reviewing this next. Increased stars from 2 to 4 down to the self emptying feature being described on the listing (lower down in the description) and the amazing customer service from the company!

Actual product is very good quality and clearly carefully put together with a lot of thought in the packet that comes with wipes, and zip up pouch etc… I was hopeful the disc would be a good change from cups that I’ve been using for years. But it’s has been the most stressful period I’ve had with leaking and discomfort. The disc seems to dislodge no matter how hard I try to make sure it’s correct and tried both sizes, after reading and watching instructions still leaks bad. The self emptying is not what I expected and seems to do it when I’m just sat at my desk or on the sofa and I’m having to run to the toilet with constant gushing feeling. It only seems to work when I was asleep led down. I wish I’d paid half the price and stuck with the cup :( might work for others though!
