View video tutorialRelax. Make sure to relax your body. Being tense makes your body tighten up, making insertion more difficult.Pinch. Pinch Pixie Disc to form a figure eight.
Insert. You will want to position yourself so that your cervix is easy to reach. This is best achieved by either sitting on a toilet, placing one leg on the shower ledge, or squatting. Use your pointer finger to insert the rim of the cup and push as far back as is comfortable. Angle the cup back and down, so the rim of the cup tucks behind and scoops around the backside of your cervix.
Tuck. Move your finger to the front rim, and push up, tucking the rim behind your pubic bone. This will ensure that the Pixie Disc is securely in place to catch your flow.
View video tutorialRelax. Relax your body, and remember that the Pixie Disc is the only period disc on the market with a removal pull-string! Feel around for the thin silicone string and gently pull. You should feel the disc dislodge. If you have cut off your string, insert your finger and hook it behind the front rim of the disc.
Dump and wash. Pour your menstrual fluid into the toilet, wash your cup thoroughly with Pixie Wash, and reinsert. If you’re in a place where it’s not possible to wash your disc, such as a public restroom or camping, you may reinsert it as long as your hands are clean. We recommend not going more than 24 hours without washing your disc. This will keep bacteria, odor, and staining at bay.
Sterilize. Before and after your cycle, be sure to sterilize by either boiling your disc on the stove, in a microwave safe container with water, or with the Pixie Cup Steamer.Cleanse. Be sure to wash your disc before reinserting it each time. The same goes for your hands! Pixie Wash is the perfect pH-balanced wash that is perfect for your body and your disc.

The disc is held in place by the pubic bone, right below the cervix, directly and securely collecting your blood. It will rest at a slight diagonal angle inside the body.
Absolutely! These are ideal for those with a short cervix since they directly hug the cervix. However, you may want to trim the stem off. The stem makes these amazing for those with a high cervix but won’t be necessary for a very low cervix.
Use a finger to find the rim, then “hook” your finger under the rim and pull down horizontally (sort of like pulling out a drawer). Keep the disc parallel to the floor to avoid emptying before you’re ready.Is it self-emptying?Yes, the Pixie Disc is self-emptying when using the bathroom because your pelvic floor muscles relax. However, this feature tends to work for some and not for others. It depends on the person.Here’s a video for more info!
Absolutely! The stem design makes this much easier since you won’t have to reach the disc cup body to remove.
Yes, the Pixie Disc can be used with a tilted cervix since it directly hugs the cervix. The insertion process may be harder to master, but you will not regret it once you have it down.Check out this video for more help!
Yes! The Pixie Disc Kit is eligible for HSA or FSA.
No, no suction is used to keep the disc in place. Unlike a menstrual cup which uses suction to seal in your vaginal canal, the Pixie Disc is held in place by your pubic bone.
IUD users with a low cervix can still use menstrual discs. You may even find them easier to insert and remove. Ensure your disc stays tucked behind your pubic bone during use, and be gentle when pulling it out.
