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.

Overall I'm happy with the product and would recommend, it's easy to use, has to be changed less frequently than single use period products and most importantly for me, I had no leaks! The reasons I'm not giving 5 stars is that I think there needs to be a medium sized disc as there's quite a big difference between the large and the small. Additionally the colour used for the small disc is a strange decision given what the product is for - it's so light in colour mine has stained after the first use. It doesn't affect the function and the stain remover does work - but I haven't had the same issue with the large cup which is a darker colour so just feels like a poor design choice. The positives far outweigh the negatives though!

Wish I had known about these years ago! So much easier to insert and remove than menstrual cups, and every bit as effective. I have quite a heavy flow and I can go around 6 hours between emptying, and up to 10 hours overnight whilst lying down. Saves a fortune on single use sanitary products, as I would easily soak through super plus tampons in less than 2 hours, so this is next level great for me. I did switch from tampons to a cup prior to finding these disks, but cups are such a faff to insert and get them to open properly, sometimes leading to leakage. Never once had an issue with disk placement, I don't see how you could get it wrong really, but using the lube supplied really helps with insertion, as you're placing it way higher than a cup. If you've not tried Pixie disks just do it, you won't regret it!

I bought this because I misplace my old disc and that brand is now unavailable on Amazon I think the packaging is a great deal as you get a lot for just £35. Unfortunately the disc don’t work well for me as long time user of menstrual disc and cups. I have a lower cervix and the large disc is just uncomfortable and can feel it when in use. The medium disc is a good size but even though I tuck it under my pelvic bone it eventually pops out causing leaks. I do think it’s just cos of the shape of the disc and my body anatomy. I noticed that the pixie disc are oval in shape and my old disc was circle. I just think that discs that are circle fit more comfortably in me. I will be using all the other bits that came in the bag and the bag itself cos it very good quality.

You get loads in the kit which makes it good value for money, I would say it can take a little time to get use to it but extras included make the experience a lot better. Should I need more in the future I would definitely recommend!

I'd tried the disc for a couple of days before getting this. The first time I put it in it was fine, second time it leaked, and then I was just paranoid when using it that it wasn't in right. It felt like it could very easily slip out of place, hence the leak. I ordered this thinking it would just make it easier to put in, but the first time I used it was an "Oooooh!" moment. I hadn't been shoving it far enough back. When I put it in with the applicator it was very obviously secure. It is like putting in a large tampon. It feels a bit weird when it pops out so far back, but it's easier than pushing it in manually. I've seen other reviews saying it is difficult to push, but I've used the large and medium pixie discs in it and both were slightly stiff at first, but slid along fine once they started moving. I think now knowing where it should be I could potentially do it myself, but I actually prefer using the applicator. Seeing as the disc only needs changing twice a day it's not like I need to carry it around, but it's pretty compact so I could if I wanted. Definitely recommend for new disc users!
