Kim, I took your quiz, and it recommended the Nixit to me. (And yes, I ordered it from your shop!) I’m on my third day of my period where I’m finally getting to use it, and it is seriously rocking my world. It apparently fits my anatomy just fine, even though it’s on the larger side, and it Does. Not. Leak. Like it’s actually kind of shocking. Every cloth pad I’ve used as back-up has been bone dry - even after heavy overnights. But for me, the best part is how comfortable it is to wear. Even the softest cups I could find (e.g., Si-Bell) would always exacerbate my cramps on my first few days. Once I started working from home full-time I pretty much stopped wearing cups altogether, and stuck with cloth pads, so I could minimize cramping discomfort. But the Nixit has changed that! In fact, where I normally have painful cramps for the first 2-3 days, I only had cramps on the first day - and it has literally been Period Nirvana since then, because I keep forgetting I’m even on my period. Now I’m driving everyone in my social circle crazy because I keep yelling from the proverbial mountaintop about discs and I keep pestering them to go take your quiz. Cups were already a huge step up from tampons and disposable pads, but I think I was built for discs!
If your contemplating just get it! Use lube and a plastic gloves to insert. I carry a plastic vinyl glove and lube in a zip lock bag with me. Wear a pad or party liner for backup. I forget I’m even on my period sometimes. It’s great!!
I've been considering cups and discs for a while and as someone who has only worn pads, watching your videos recently has helped and educated me so much! I got the flex cup + disc combo since it provided both in one package, and I found the discs work amazing for me so far (especially during a kayaking trip I recently went on) but I still need practice with the cup since I'm still getting used to putting it in :)
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, 65 ml 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 the Lumma and absolutely love it! I was always a fan of cups and was so hesitant about the disc but SO glad I tried it! Such a lifesaver for my heaviest days! Thinking about picking up the nixit!
I've watched you talk about discs for HOW LONG (years) and I'm just now trying them because I got an IUD and like...why. So far I am loving it. I got some disposables, but I am almost positive that I will be switching to a disc rather than cup!
I got into discs a couple of years ago and I like them much better than cups. I’ve always had an issue with the cups suctioning in very uncomfortable positions 😰
I love nixit! It’s my favorite internal period product. Nixit+lube👌 (I can’t use nixit successfully without lube. It won’t get into place properly) I totally prefer discs over cups. Thanks to your videos I was able to discover discs. Started with the disposable Softdiscs, then tried Lumma large/high which works great too, but now nixit is my favorite disc💕
Thanks for your reviews and knowledge! I have had an IUD for a couple years now and have been using the Saalt cup the whole time. I’ve never had any problems but I always know where my strings are just in case. That being said, I’ve never had any worries!
I love your videos, Kim! I find myself watching your videos every cycle! 😂 I do have some disc questions, as I am thinking about getting one, specifically Nixit since that’s my quiz result! Do discs really have more capacity than cups during wear? I currently use a Lena S & I was thinking about a higher capacity product for my heaviest days. I tried the Flex disposable (of course it’s not the same as Nixit) for a bit & it seemed kinda… squished. I also had the sensation that it was leaking when it wasn’t. Not sure if it was user error or if Flex just isn’t for me. Thank you for your patience & all of the great content you continue to share with us!! You’re awesome!!
You're def right that the squishing will affect the capacity. It's hard to say how much of the 70 ml it actually holds during wear because it sits at an angle and it's "squished" but even considering that it would more than the Lena. I'm not sure what would cause the phantom leak feeling but it could be a symptom of "hyper awareness" with the new product. Similar to assuming all discharge is your period starting when it's about that time of the month. You're looking to feel something :)
I live in Canada and wanted to try the Lumma because of the stem. I bought online it in the US made the delivery to a courrier service at the border and payed extra shipping to Canada since Lumma is not allowed to sell here. It came and I'm now transitioning from the menstrual cup to the menstrual disc. I made the change because I have pelvic floor disfunction and the insertion/extraction of the cup was getting painful. I feel more comfortable with Lumma now and for me it was worth the extra steps.
Had you tried the nixit first? I'm also in Canada and wanted a lumma. Ordered a nixit instead but I like the idea of a stem. Need to try my nixit still. My Dixie cup is uncomfortable with my prolapse.
@@jennifergeorge7280 the nixit is too big for me and the Lumma was not a good fit for my body either. So I bought the hello disc on kickstarter and it is perfect
@Kim I need your help! I used a nixit in this cycle for the first time.. Let's just say I had an IUD and now I haven't it anymore🤦🏻♀️ What have I done wrong? 😢
Thank you so much for this video ! I found you the other day on TikTok and it really said for YOU page. I’ve been having the hardest time with my cups since i had my second child. I stumbled upon your channels and you made me a disc girl! AND i just got my first iud so thank you so much 🥰 I currently have the disposable ones but I’m ordering the nixit ASAP! ❤️❤️❤️
I bought a nixit, and for the life of me can't get it to stay. I have cystocele, but I have been told I can still use it. But, I don't know how? Can you explain? I can put a diva cup in no prob, but the suction hurts. Reason for wanting to change
You’re videos have been amazing I love my nixit (which was recommended by your test) I also have a saalt disc and the new flex reusable disc is on its way to me too thank you
You want to be aware of your strings with both cups and discs when you remove the products. I have been told it's very unlikely the suction alone from a cup can dislodge an IUD and it's more likely that the strings were unknowingly pulled or that the IUD was already expelling naturally and the cup expedited the process. That's why when we look at the higher % rate of expulsion of IUDs with cups it should be mentioned they don't distinguish or know WHAT caused them to expel. That said, discs could be safer or at the least, feel safer to use.
I’m concerned about the auto dump… if I’m doing a workout (deep squats) or I sneeze… will there be a volcanic explosion…? Edit: saw your articles and shorts on the issue and I’m sure it will be fine, but will wear a backup when I first give it a go. And as usual, before my workout I will make sure to empty it hehe.
I wanted to add incase anyone else reads this comment. Not everyone auto-dumps! I have a strong heavy flow and nixit (or another disc) had autodumped for me. I do make sure to empty before bed tho. Morning of a heavy night is the only time I question if it'll dump
I first tried a disposable disc (Soft Disc, I think) and was not happy with the auto-dumping of that. I had to re-tuck it every time. Later I had a couple of blow-outs when not on the toilet - turns out it just wasn't a good fit. I'm now using Hello disc and find I can control auto-dumping better, don't have to re-tuck after auto-dumping, and no more surprise untucking. It's only my first period using it, but so far I am not crazy about the rim thickness and firmness of the Hello disc. I need to use both hands to insert and to remove. We will see if I get better at it.😊
I’m glad you talk about the IUD. I had IUD and used cup before. During that time there was not much talk about cup and IUD and I didn’t see any disc on the market, or Heard anyone talk about. My IUD stay put for 5 years that it supposed to stay, but when I went to doctor to take it out, the IUD stuck to my cervix and the doctor couldn’t take it out the normal way. I had to get small surgery to get IUD out. Don’t know it’s the side effect from using cup or not.
I pulled my IUD out with a cup. I loved my cup so I was gutted. Since then I tried other 2 cups to see if they worked but everytime I felt the cup move the IUD strings down. I'm terrified of pulling it out again, but boy I really loved that cup 😂. I just ordered a nixit so fingers crossed this is the answer for my problem.
Plz help me decide which would be best disc for high cervix cora or nixit disc? For the menstrual cup i always had to push it out first then find it and pull it… im so worried with the disc they may disappear inside me or i cant reach enough to pull it out… plz help
I ordered Nixit and I find that it's too big for my petite body 👎🏾 It refuses to stay tucked no matter how hard or how many times I tuck it behind my pubic bone. It keeps slipping out of place and trying to go down into my canal. I have placed it properly as when I check, I can feel my cervix through the disc. I have ordered Saalt disc in both sizes and I really hope one of them fits me perfectly.
If Saalt doesn't work for you, I highly recommend Hey Zomi. It's soft like Nixit, but has a loop that helps with removal. Its capacity is 52 ml and the diameter is 65 ml.
I absolutely love the Nixit. It does not come untucked and fits well. Never leaks. The 70 mm round diameter works well with my body. I’m very physically active, insanely tight, no kids but it works well. I have a super heavy flo on day 2 & 3. My favourite cup is the Merula XL. I also like the Flex reusable disc at 69 mm round diameter. My body can tell the smaller diameter discs and they leak. Smaller discs are not as comfortable as I can feel them. Discs are more messy but I like how quick they insert. Thanks for all your reviews. Has helped a lot. But it’s all trial and error. ❤
I'll be trying mine for aug 13th period heavy flow underwear as cups I no how they work and I like them lol waiting on 3 smaller cups lol 😆 then try those September period lol
I tried a menstrual disc last month unfortunately the disc I got wasn't wroking for me. If I pushed it all the way to the back the rim wouldn't reach my pubic bone causing it slide down so I could feel the disc very well and it would push on my blatter. If it reached my pubic bone my cervix wasn't above the disc causing it to leak. After a frustrating week of me trying everything to get it to work I did some research and came to the conclusion that the disc I got was: 1. too small for me (despite my cervix being average height) and 2. too firm for me. It was just bad luck the disc itself was not bad perse it just wasn't the right disc for me shit happens 🤷♀. I ended up taking your quiz and the nixit was the result. At first I wasn't sure if I should order it because of the price but eventually decided to give it a go. My period started yesterday and wow to say the difference is big is an understatement! I managed to get the disc in properly the first time I tried and can't feel the disc at all no more blatter pressure and no leaks so far. Removal is indeed a bit messy but I don't really mind that since I pretty much only have to remove the disc at the end of the day when I'm at home anyway. Needless to say I'm very happy I bought the nixit now it actually works really well although I still like to wear period underwear as a back up when I'm at work or sleeping just for peace of mind.
I've been a cup user for several years now, but I'd like to try a menstrual disc, as I tend to have heavy flows and there are some high capacity discs out there, e.g. the Nixit cup you're reviewing here. And I've been wondering - since I own the Caya diaphragm - do you think I could try it on my period, just to kinda assess if a menstrual disc would be a good choice for me? I've tried to google that, i.e. whether people use diaphragms on their periods, not only during sex but as menstrual discs, but there have not been many records on that. Common sense tells me it should be fine, these products are closely related, but I'd love to know your opinion on this topic.
Yes you can def use your Caya on your period to test out discs as a concept. it won't hold as much but due to how discs work that may not even matter for you. I have a video short about this from maybe 1-2 months ago? It compares caya to reusable discs.
@@ShellyBellyBeans omg thank you so much. I have that same problem. I will probably try the Lumma medium next then. Or at least something around the same size.
Hi! Great video 💓 I'm not quite sure I get the auto dump feature. Why would anyone want that? For me, I was quite disappointed because I thought it was straight up leaking. I was used to the diva cup where it was several hours before I chose to empty it, even on my heavier days... So I just need to empty it every couple hours? (Now my cervix is way lower so I HAVE to use discs)
Auto dumping doesn’t mean it’s at full capacity. Something about the design makes it move when you’re sitting on the toilet and dumps a little out. It’s a great feature that if you know it’s almost full, you can just auto dump instead of fully removing and cleaning. Say if you’re in public for instance and have to use a shared sink. You do want to change it every 12 hours though.
@@xwallyallyx exactly my point. Why does it empty itself if it's not full? After that, there is inevitably leakage/stains. I'm currently buying tampons and I never thought that I would be back to this ... :(
@@mpcote8117 it empties because it becomes untucked from the pubic bone. It shouldn’t happen any other time than when you’re using the toilet though. If it does then the disc isn’t a good fit.
I LOVE the autodump feature because I have a heavy flow and this allows me to empty my disc without removing it. For me, it NEVER leaks or autodumps unless I purposefully bear down over the toilet. By gently bearing down, my muscles push on the disc and cause it to open/untuck from my public bone. When I stop bearing down, it slides back into place and I literally never leak otherwise.
Im shocked u still cant its been so long yet i can orderd stuff from the usa and even the uk and new Zealand to canada lol hopefully someone day u figure it out

Hi! I've been using a cup, but it always leaks. Do u think that heavy flow is better with Nixit?
What are disks like for doing sports? Been using a cup for a couple of years now but from what I've read I think I'd get on better with a disc.
They're a great option - some people might find a firmer rim disc is less likely to "auto-dump" as long as the disc itself is a good fit.

I love my monthlies disc!
What are your thoughts on the sheperiod disc?
Is auto dumping hard for women with a tilted cervix?
Are discs bad for very active people because of the auto dumping?
No I don't think so
I tried a menstrual disc last month unfortunately the disc I got wasn't wroking for me. If I pushed it all the way to the back the rim wouldn't reach my pubic bone causing it slide down so I could feel the disc very well and it would push on my blatter. If it reached my pubic bone my cervix wasn't above the disc causing it to leak.
After a frustrating week of me trying everything to get it to work I did some research and came to the conclusion that the disc I got was: 1. too small for me (despite my cervix being average height) and 2. too firm for me. It was just bad luck the disc itself was not bad perse it just wasn't the right disc for me shit happens 🤷♀. I ended up taking your quiz and the nixit was the result. At first I wasn't sure if I should order it because of the price but eventually decided to give it a go. My period started yesterday and wow to say the difference is big is an understatement! I managed to get the disc in properly the first time I tried and can't feel the disc at all no more blatter pressure and no leaks so far. Removal is indeed a bit messy but I don't really mind that since I pretty much only have to remove the disc at the end of the day when I'm at home anyway. Needless to say I'm very happy I bought the nixit now it actually works really well although I still like to wear period underwear as a back up when I'm at work or sleeping just for peace of mind.
I've been a cup user for several years now, but I'd like to try a menstrual disc, as I tend to have heavy flows and there are some high capacity discs out there, e.g. the Nixit cup you're reviewing here. And I've been wondering - since I own the Caya diaphragm - do you think I could try it on my period, just to kinda assess if a menstrual disc would be a good choice for me? I've tried to google that, i.e. whether people use diaphragms on their periods, not only during sex but as menstrual discs, but there have not been many records on that. Common sense tells me it should be fine, these products are closely related, but I'd love to know your opinion on this topic.
Yes you can def use your Caya on your period to test out discs as a concept. it won't hold as much but due to how discs work that may not even matter for you. I have a video short about this from maybe 1-2 months ago? It compares caya to reusable discs.
Can I swim with it? I doesn't make a suction, right?
You can swim with it in, some people have said that water gets into their cup or disc during swimming so just dump it afterwards.
@@PeriodNirvana Thank you so much!😘
My nixit has changed my life.
So I tried the flex disc and could not get success. How do I know if a disc is too small or too large?
@@ShellyBellyBeans omg thank you so much. I have that same problem. I will probably try the Lumma medium next then. Or at least something around the same size.
They change their packaging. It's cheaper now. No magnet. Just a box to throw away.
Hi! Great video 💓 I'm not quite sure I get the auto dump feature. Why would anyone want that? For me, I was quite disappointed because I thought it was straight up leaking. I was used to the diva cup where it was several hours before I chose to empty it, even on my heavier days... So I just need to empty it every couple hours? (Now my cervix is way lower so I HAVE to use discs)
Auto dumping doesn’t mean it’s at full capacity. Something about the design makes it move when you’re sitting on the toilet and dumps a little out. It’s a great feature that if you know it’s almost full, you can just auto dump instead of fully removing and cleaning. Say if you’re in public for instance and have to use a shared sink. You do want to change it every 12 hours though.
@@xwallyallyx exactly my point. Why does it empty itself if it's not full? After that, there is inevitably leakage/stains. I'm currently buying tampons and I never thought that I would be back to this ... :(
@@mpcote8117 it empties because it becomes untucked from the pubic bone. It shouldn’t happen any other time than when you’re using the toilet though. If it does then the disc isn’t a good fit.
I LOVE the autodump feature because I have a heavy flow and this allows me to empty my disc without removing it. For me, it NEVER leaks or autodumps unless I purposefully bear down over the toilet. By gently bearing down, my muscles push on the disc and cause it to open/untuck from my public bone. When I stop bearing down, it slides back into place and I literally never leak otherwise.
Hey can you please review the Flo Angel menstual cup
Where would you put lube on a disc to help with insertion?
Yes! Especially with firmer discs I find that helpful, but lots of disc users find lube helps the disc pop into place with ease.
Im shocked u still cant its been so long yet i can orderd stuff from the usa and even the uk and new Zealand to canada lol hopefully someone day u figure it out
this disk is to big for me, sadly they are expensive and i lost lots of money, now i dont know what to do with the one i cant use......

@@PeriodNirvana thank you im trying to join the buy, sell trade group.
Welp. In Canada so I guess nixit has to be the one haha.
Maybe Ziggy also as far as discs. Saalt may be an option in the future since their cups just got Health Canada approved
Hey Zomi is also an option, 52 ml capacity and 65 ml diameter.
