Pixie Menstrual Disc for Feminine Care - Ranked 1 for Best Tampon Alternative Period Disc - 100% Medical-Grade Silicone - Removes Like a Tampon - Wear 12 Hours - Capacity of 7 Tampons (Large)

I’ve got endometriosis and adenomyosis, and I’ve struggled with horrendously heavy periods since I was 14. I finally found my perfect period protection just in time for my last 3 periods, and then I hit menopause. Sod’s law! The disc is made of beautifully silky, soft silicone, with a thicker rim to help it keep its shape and stay in place. I used an applicator to insert it because I’ve got a very retroverted uterus and I found it tricky to get the back edge of the disc past my cervix and into the right position. Once I’d worked that out, using the disc was a breeze… no risk of it getting stuck because it doesn’t use suction to stay in place, unlike menstrual cups. Autodumping made it convenient for work, days and nights out etc because it means you can empty the disc without removing it. Removal is simple and stress free with the soft, comfortable stem, and the capacity of the large size was more than a match for my heaviest days. I had no leaks at all, even when riding my young, sharp Hanoverian mare, with lots of spooking, broncing, bucking and general dumblood fun and games. If it can cope with that, it can cope with anything! The colours are great. I got the navy blue large size and the dark green small one, and they come in attractive, zip up cloth pouches with sachets of lube, wet wipes and disc and cup wash included. Being able to have sex with the disc in place is a bonus too, just make sure you empty it first to avoid leaks, and obviously clean the disc thoroughly afterwards. Thank you Pixie, you’ve got a wonder product here. I’m so glad that younger women have Pixie Disc as an option because it’s easy to use, convenient, effective and comfortable, and it looks great too.

Great product, not quite the right size for me, but I got in touch with the Pixie Team and they replaced it with another size!! Very impressed by their customer service! I've used a Pixie cup for years so it was no question that I'd use the same business to try a disc!

What a great disc! Once you get the hang of it (after a couple uses) it's so easy to use and comfy. I bought the insertion tool too and that is very helpful. I can wear the disc for hours and no leaking. It's great, I can just go and pee when I need to and not worry about changing anything. Would highly recommend. Amazing customer service too. I emailed and they responded so quickly and offered a different size to suit my body for free!

Doesn't work for tilted uterus it vaginismus I got it stuck in me, the only saving grace is that it comes with a little packet of lube. I suffered internal bruising and small internal cuts on top of my period. Absolutely not worth the pain. Leaked all over the place and didn't even work.

I haven’t used a disc before. I’ve been using a cup for years but wanted to try a disc for the higher capacity. I went for the Pixie due to the buy-one-gift-one policy. Without sugar coating things, I had some leakage. I haven’t knocked the star rating because I really believe it’s one of those things where you just need to find the right disc for you so it’s not a product flaw so much as a fit issue. It actually worked in the reverse to what I expected - it worked really well for me at night despite Heavy flow but was leaking during the day. I contacted the customer service email hoping for some help with what I was doing wrong. They came back to me super fast and offered some tips on what could be going wrong and offered to refund or send me out another disc in a smaller size to see if that helped. No fuss, no quibble.

It’s bigger than a cup but doesn’t seem to actually hold that much. Seems to overflow before it’s full. Still not heavy period proof but much more comfortable than a cup! I would recommend.

Disc didn’t work for me but the company gave an immediate refund, no questions asked.

After having some issues with my disc, I decided to email Pixie to seek further advice. Within less than 24 hours of my email I received a brand new disc of a different size to try out (for free!). Potentially the fastest and best customer service I’ve ever had! 🫶🏻 Big shout out to Ali at Pixie for such a speedy response.

The kit is great, customer service awesome, the disc is mostly great. My problem is that I had the string crack on TWO of these in 6 months. They are supposed to last 10 years. The first time it happened I emailed customer service and they replaced it saying that it "doesn't typically happen but can happen with more use. That being said" they sent me a new disc. But I didn't bother emailing about the second one that cracked as I think they won't be sending anymore replacements for that. If the disc is supposed to last 10 years so should the string I have to use to pull it out - and I do have to because I have a high cervix and can't reach it otherwise. So I found a different disc that has loops that aren't stretchy and should last a lot longer. This disc is great if you don't need the string or only use it to find the disc and customer service is FANTASTIC for every other thing. When I tried the cup and hated it, they sent me a disc for free.

My wife got this and so this review will be based on her opinion and written by her: I got this disc after seeing that it's something new new and different from the menstrual cups. I have been a cup user for about 4-5 yrs and felt that they are not as comfortable and leaks most of the time when on heavier days. After reading the great features of the disc, I was ready to make the switch and honestly, will not be going back to the cups. So with the disc, leaking only happens on the more heavier days (and I do have very heavy flow for the 1st 1-2 days), so I do have to wear a backup pad. I am very satisfied w/the "self-emptying" function on those heavy days. I have to say it really does self-empties every time I use the toilet on those heavy flow days. The other days, the disc doesn't leak at all, I can be rest assured that I can just keep it in there for the max 12 hrs and won't have to worry about it. The other plus about this disc is the comfort of it. After insertion, I don't feel anything anymore and it pretty much stays put the entire time until I take it out. This is a great improvement from cups because I noticed that the cups I used would slide down and cause me discomfort after a while. It's worse when I'm using the toilet. Insertion is also easier than a cup. This disc is amazing compared to the menstrual cups. For one thing it doesn't have the suction function, but instead it rests right on top of the pelvic bone under the cervix, so it pretty much catches the flow if placed correctly. It's a learning process, but pretty similar to inserting the cup. I have no significant issues inserting the disc in, only once in a while I don't always placed it in correctly and it'll be immediately noticeable because the edge will not sit on top of the pelvic bone no matter how I pushed it. One of the minus I have to say is that taking it out is much messier than a cup, but I learned that it's not so bad when using the tail to pull it out slowly, and making sure the disc stays upright. The only thing though is I noticed that the tail started to show signs of wear and tear along the entire tail stem. and I got this disc back in May (which is only about 5-6 months ago). It looks like it can break any day now and I only used the disc during my period which lasts about 6-7 days per month. So I have to say that the tail is too frail because I'm very dependent on it when taking out the disc. On the cups, I never needed the tail, and as a matter of fact, I actually trim it off because they are uncomfortable and keeps sticking out. But I'm totally dependent on the tail on this disc and it's actually very easy to tuck it in after the disc is on top of the pelvic bone. I just wish the tail is made much stronger and more durable. Now I have to be careful not to tug too hard. Overall, I am amazed with this disc. After using it, I'm never going back to the cup.

I have been using the Pixie Disk for the past 2 years and it has been a real life changer! I recommend it to all of my friends and anyone who will listen, lol! For a little more money upfront, I have saved hundreds of dollars that I would have spent on tampons. Once you learn how to insert it properly and sanitize it, its very easy! I leave it in all day and don't have to worry about forgetting to pack more tampons for the day, because it self empties when you use the restroom. It has made managing my period a lot easier, and it's made from medical grade silicone so I feel more comfortable about putting that in my body rather than cotton soaked with pesticides. My disk did rip recently during cleaning (which could be expected after using it solely for 2 years) but I activated the warranty when I originally bought it, so I contacted the Pixie team through their website. They immediately reached out to me that same day and once I sent them my order number, they shipped me a replacement disk! If you are trying to decide whether to order it or not, give it a chance! There is a small learning curve so take it out in the shower to begin with, but if I can figure it out, so can you! :)

So much more comfortable than a cup, and pixie has amazing customer service! I've had two situations where there was an issue with a product, and after reaching out they immediately respond and send a new one, no questions asked.

~Warning period talk~ Update*began officially putting this bad boy2the test, auto dump is literally perfect with this diac ,couldn't ask for better. As a person w/super heavy flow,ie:using a box of super in 2 to 3days plus a box of reg per period, this disc went thru a full bodied ,normally waking up in a red pool of a bed with tampon and pads , Night with no leaks . Went to bed about 11,woke up at 9 am for reference . About 2hours later I used bathroom and auto dumped what seemed a very full cup ,so like I said HEAVY,so no leaks after a night like that im amazed . If ur like me and have tried cups but don't like the suction,odd full sensation or have sensitivity issues in that area when it comes to cups and disc's having odd lines and stuff ,this is the perfect disc I don't feel anything ,no weirdness ,no full heavy feeling or uncomfortable suction feeling . Took me all of 1 try 2 get this in perfect position and I've used cups disc's etc in the past but I literally ripped the stem off my last one getting it out lol so I haven't used one in awhile but like I said I do have experience but I think even if u don't that you'll be able to get this baby just right pretty quickly. You also can remove the string part as with most disc's, I do prefer to leave mine the one thing I do wish they would add like a finger loop at the end instead of just the little ball gripper type things , if use ever seen like those rubber finger slappers,or a yoyo, and know what type of rubber finger loop im talking about ,that's would literally make this the perfect disc,far as Ik though no maker has that though lol maybe I can tie it though and make my own. Highly highly highly recommend. .So i havent officially tested the productnof yk what im saying but out of the box and pre-use trials...this disc has such a big bowl(not sure what else2call it) that i feel pretty confident it could go a full 8hrs ,at the least. Generally Im able2auto dump qith such products so will lyk how that is with this lil guy in an update. There is a nice firm lip as advertised , love that , super silky soft great material used. U can tell alot of thought went into this, there are no awkward grooves or edges creases etc. If ur like me& that type of thing bothers u youll appreciate that , ik i do, so im not qorried about any type of weird scraping rubbing etc feelings from this disc. Overall excited to use . I also like that it came with a ton of lil sample packs of soap and things to use qith the disc and that this company is eco conscious is a win n my book . Will be considering the steamer/steralizer to accompany this lil guy in my period arsenalal.
