  • You have been asking how the Nixit Cup works and we finally have a video review for you! The Nixit Cup is actually a reusable silicone disc that is similar in size and shape to the Flex disc, or the Soft Cup and Instead discs. Nixit is much softer, and while it worked great for Kim it didn't go quite so well for Amanda.

    I'm always so amazed at how disgusted people are by their own bodies.
    I've used the instead cups since I first heard about them from a friend. Blew my freaking mind. I just ordered my Nixit last night. I'm super pumped. This is going to be my first foray into the reusable menstrual product.
    Thanks for the review video! Very informative. :)

    As far as the price goes, people should remember that Nixit does have a refund policy. They want you to try it for 3 cycles and if it's just not working for you, they will refund you and take it back (I'd guess they recycle it). $50 if you already like a disc isn't bad considering how much the Flex discs cost!

    I love it! I’ve tried the Diva cup and the Blossom and always had leaks and could feel it all the time. It always felt like a tampon that was halfway out. Trying the Nixit was my last try at cups/discs and from the first time I inserted it it was good to go! No leaks and couldn’t feel a thing. My ultimate test was going overnight and not one leak! Nixit is the way to go for me!

It is worth every penny on this product! I don't care about period sex... I care about high capacity and it holds up to 70 ml👏🏾🙌🤸🥂 I've tried every high capacity cup out there and all did nothing for my heavy menstraul days....

    I just got my Nixit and have been using it for the last 4 days. I am amazed. I have a low cervix. It doesn't leak, it's comfortable, and period sex is mess free (and my partner didn't feel it). This is so amazing, I am going to test it tomorrow during a workout. All the cups that I have used over the years have leaked, slid out, or were just uncomfortable.

    Awesome review! I had tried the Nixit because of ItsJustKelli’s review and I’m so glad I did! Traditional cups never quite worked for me. My cervix is pretty high and I had a hard time trying to remove them. I used Nixit for the first time during my last cycle and it’s my Goldilocks cup. It’s much easier for me to insert and remove than a traditional cup was and I didn’t have any issue with it untucking from behind my pubic bone. I’m so glad I finally found a cup (well technically a disc) that works for me! #nomoretampons

    I don't know how or why ya'll were a suggested video for me but Im kinda glad now. I am 54 now and had a hysterectomy five years ago. At that time I was using the Instead softcup. Those worked well for me as I'm tall and have a high cervix. I never tried a cup but I am thinking the FemmyCycle had just come out and I kinda wanted to try it but surgery happened. (Due to having a double masectomy and two-for-one anaesthesia type situation) I had EXTREMELY HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY periods and was thankful to get that taken care of. Removal for me was always nerve-wracking! I would have appreciated a string of some sort to pull and not have to bear down and finger it out. Bleck! Anyway, I think these reviews are a great service for women!

I have tried the Lumma but I still have issues with that from time to time, I have mastered my nixit and it just works. I have learnt a lot about my body using it and this for me is a bonus. I don’t know if it will work for you but my advice would be to try! They will refund you after 3 cycles if you can’t get it to work and they are really good at responding to emails and comments, if you have any questions they will offer advice xx

    I just started using Nixit! So far I've liked it since I literally just started my period today, but there IS a learning curve. There are only two concerns I have so far: the material and the initial packaging. I have a dog who sheds, so every time I'll put Nixit in, I will scour the disk with hot water, etc, to make sure there aren't any dog hair or anything else on it, since if it's dry it can some how use static electricity, since it is silicone and attract hairs. As cute and well put together the different color magnetic boxes are, to me, and I'm sure many other costumers, a one time use box. I'm never going to use it again and I'm not sure what to do with it. I would have appreciated an option aside from a color of a minimal packaging option, like wrapped in paper or something along those lines. Regardless, I'm excited to continue using Nixit! The reason why I wanted to start using it was bc my menstrual cup before kept moving and leaking, since I move my legs towards my chest often to sit or sleep, and I wanted a better solution than just being even more uncomfortable and rigid on my period.

Imo, they're much easier to insert, although the removal is a bit messy. The best part for me is that there's no suction like with cups, which makes discs more comfortable than cups.

    I used Nixit for the first time today. I’ve been using the Lunette cup for the last 5 years and overall I’ve been happy with it. My problem is many cups seem to be to long, even with the stem cut off. I suppose I have a low cervix? I liked the disc shape of the Nixit as length wouldn’t be an issue. I seem to have placed correctly on the first try. For those struggling my suggestion is don’t “overthink”. It really is as easy as, getting in the right position and inserting it folded towards your tailbone. You’ll feel your public bone when you have your finger on the rim, and push up. It did seem that when I was bent over it seemed like the rim was sticking out. What I realized is when I stood up the Nixit moved slightly and was then tucked under my pubic bone. Also, if you’re not relaxed it’sgoing to be difficult to insert - so take a deep breath.

    Great review. I just tried mine today. It was difficult to insert the first two times. The material seems a little grabby and it is very soft so it is hard to slide it in place quickly. So far the trick I am learning so far is to go slow and be fully aware of which direction you may tilt.

    I had the same problem as Amanda and was unable to tuck it. My anatomy just didn't allow it and the nixit kept sliding back out. Was so looking forward to this solution as I've never been able to get menstrual cups to work. Nixit does have a "try it for 3 cycles" policy, but read carefully as it also says "due to the nature of this product, we CANNOT offer refunds if nixit is not for you". That said, please stop saying the nixit is fool-proof because I feel pretty foolish when it leaks and keep thinking I'm doing it wrong.😔

    Thank you so much for your content. After 20 years of menstruating and 10 years of searching for a reliable and reusable menstrual product, I can finally say I found a comfortable, reliable and reusable menstrual product (menstrual discs). I can finally sleep a full night without a towel under me when I'm menstruating.
    I have a heavy flow, a tilted uterus, a sensitive bladder and my cervix is considered high. For reference, I would change a super tampon every hour or change my menstrual cup that supposedly holds up to 50ml every 1.5-2 hrs. For this reason, I also wore a super reusable menstrual pad in case the tampon or menstrual cup overflowed and leaked... and they almost always did.
    I tried several menstrual cups (Diva 1&2, Super Jennie L, Merula OS & XL and Yuuki 1 & 2), all different capacities and firmness. They all leaked because I couldn't find the right position for my tilted uterus and no matter how hard I tried, the suction holes would always clog up which caused the cups to leak. The bigger and firmer cups put too much pressure on my bladder, and I often had a UTI as a result of not being able to fully empty my bladder.
    I finally tried the Nixit disc - GAME CHANGER. It is SO comfortable, I can't even feel it once it's inserted which means I also don't have any issues emptying my bladder. I have had ZERO leaks, not even at night, since I started using it a few months ago. I can wear it up to 8 hours at a time on my heavy days because of the self-emptying feature, which only happens when I purposefully bear down over the toilet.
    I also use the Hey Zomi disc (52 ml capacity, 65ml diameter) on moderate to light days because it has a loop which makes removal easier than the Nixit. The reason I don't wear it on my heavy days is because I cannot self-empty by gently bearing down over the toilet, which means I would have to manually remove it every couple hours. In Period Nirvana's review of the Hey Zomi disc, they self-emptied very frequently, but that is not the case for me.
    I considered the Hello disc, but it would be too firm for me.
    I HIGHLY recommend menstrual discs to anyone with a tilted uterus and a heavy flow. If you're not in a hurry to buy another product, I suggest subscribing to their newsletter and waiting for a promo code/sale.

    I have been using a diva cup for 6+ years and just tried a disc, the ziggy cup, and I just couldn't seem to get it behind my cervix. I couldn't even find my cervix which doesn't seem to be a problem normally.

  • @avoicetocount
    @avoicetocount 3 роки тому

    I think every woman needs to try out for herself what works. It's not cheap to try cup after cup, but it's a process that happens over a long time, at least it was for me.
    I tried many different cups and none of the regular cups worked for me as my cervix comes down quite a bit and moves to the right side, so no regular cup ever fit. I gave up on trying as I had felt I tried all shapes, sizes, etc, and just used pads then, which is really my least favorite option.
    Now I happened to see an ad for the Nixit, which was a new concept for me, and since it works without suction and doesn't require my cervix to be in a centered position I decided to give a disc a try, and it works like a charm (I got a Ziggy for now as it was cheaper and available with free shipping on amazon). I find it easy to insert and remove, absolutely comfortable to wear and I love that I can empty it by bearing down without having to remove it. No mess in public restrooms! It's not entirely perfect as it tended to slip a bit on my heavier days and there were some leaks once a fair amount of blood had accumulated. But just as I would have to do with a tampon on my heavy flow days I can just go to the bathroom every two or three hours and take care of it without it being messy. Insertion requires sticking my finger in to make sure it goes under my cervix. But that's nothing compared to the struggle I had with all other cups, and I don't mind this at all. I only have to do this in the morning and evening and never during the day in a public restroom, which was a huge issue with regular cups and sea sponges for me.
    Ladies, don't be afraid of your own bodies. Be patient and kind to yourself. I'm pretty sure most women can find a cup or disk that works for them eventually.

  • @alliecurtze

    Thank you for your review! I was super excited about the nixit because I’ve used Softdisc with no issue for a while, but hated that they aren’t reusable. I’ve been trying it for two cycles now, and unfortunately, my experience has been similar to Amanda’s. It just WILL NOT stay tucked. I assume this is due to how soft it is because nixit is exactly the same size as Softdisc. I’ve had the same issue with the ziggy disc, too. I’m going to give it one more shot, and then probably ask for a refund since they will offer one if you’ve tried for three cycles without success, which is nice since it is so pricy. On to the Lumma Unique I guess? Thanks for all of your helpful information. I would have never heard about all of these options if it weren’t for you!

      The Lumma is definitely a firmer disc, and yes I think you're right that the Nixit being softer than the Softdisc would possibly be the culprit for you. They may have some suggestions and they were very nice in helping Amanda try and get her Nixit to work.

      @alliecurtze 5 років тому +1

      @@PutACupInIt Thanks for the tip! I did reach out to them regarding my issue, and they got back to me SUPER FAST and here was their reply: "Thanks so much for getting in touch! We have found that some disposable disc users are finding it tricky - mainly due to the difference in how flexible nixit is, but we have always got it figured out!
      When inserting, it's helpful to think of pushing nixit back and down (rather than up like a traditional cup or tampon). I like to try and aim towards my tailbone (this helps it to get back and down). There are some useful videos on our instagram and facebook pages that you may also find helpful to watch.
      It can also help to pinch nixit at one end and then pinch down and along as you insert (rather than pinching in the middle) - this makes some people feel like they have more control over it.
      Using a different position could also help to get nixit positioned correctly - if you are currently sitting on the toilet, we would suggest either a half squat position (in between standing and sitting) or standing with one leg raised. It can take a bit of trial and error to find the insertion position that works best for you.
      Don't be afraid to push nixit up as far as you can when you tuck it up behind your pubic bone. Some people also bear down when inserting and then relax once inserted so that this draws nixit up a bit (if that makes sense).
      We hope that helps and of course, if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!"
      I was really impressed with how willing they were to help me out, so I wanted to share this with anyone else who might have the same issue I'm having. My next cycle is coming up, so we'll see how it works this time around.

      With a moderate to heavy flow I am finding the largest luv your body a big relief! Finally I can go 4 to 6 hours before it leaks- ie is full.
      It's a bit tricky to open, but worth it for the extra capacity... and pretty cheap too..

    @lenzcapturedmoments3353 5 років тому +4

    Question about "capacity" ....i know discs are different but still wondering. Backstory first. My gateway into cups was actually by using a soft cup disc! Whilst I definately prefer cups there are some days in the beginning of my cycle that the pressure and suction even from the softest cup causes ungodly pain and cramping. But depending on my schedule I dont want to have to wear my cloth pads on my heavy days if I am out and about or have events....I prefer them for at home. But discs dont cause the same pain for me because I 1. Have a high cervix and 2. They don't create suction. But I was just wondering what the capacity would be like for someone as heavy as the friend you had on the heavy period video (I probably bleed a bit more than her in the first few days). Soft cup always slipped even when I peed so I had to clean up and change it every bathroom break so I dont really know if a disc can hold up to a heavy period for a "whole day" (like 6-8 hours). Your thoughts?
