The Pixie Medium Disc holds 30ml of fluid, which is about the equivalent of 5 tampons.
The Pixie Disc is held securely in place by the pubic bone, resting below the cervix. It collects menstrual fluid without using suction and sits at a slight diagonal angle.
- Squeeze the disc to create a figure 8 shape.
- Apply water-based lubricant to the top for smoother insertion.
- Sit, squat, or lift one leg to relax your pelvic floor muscles.
- Insert the disc, pointing it downward and guiding it back until the rim is tucked securely behind the pubic bone.
Relax your pelvic muscles and gently pull on the disc’s stem until you can reach the rim. Slide a finger under the rim to fully remove the disc, then empty it into the toilet.
Yes, the Pixie Disc can self-empty when your pelvic floor muscles relax, such as when using the restroom. This feature may vary based on individual anatomy.
Absolutely! You will likely want to trim the removal string first.
The Pixie Large Cup holds approximately 30ml of fluid, similar to the Medium Disc.
Fold the cup (try c-fold or punch down fold) and insert it by aiming towards your tailbone. Once inside, it should open fully, creating a light seal against your vaginal walls. If the stem feels uncomfortable, you can trim it.
To remove, pinch the base of the cup to break the suction, and gently pull it out. If necessary, wiggle it back and forth to ease it down.
Yes! The Pixie Cup is designed to stay securely in place during activities like exercise or swimming.
Whether you’re urinating or having a bowel movement, it’s perfectly fine to wear your Pixie Cup. However, since the cup sits in the vaginal canal, it’s important to remove it prior to intercourse.
Before your cycle begins, sterilize the disc and cup by boiling them for 5 minutes or using a dedicated steamer. You can also use Pixie Cup Spray for quick cleaning.
Both the Pixie Disc and Pixie Cup can be used with an IUD, though it’s recommended to discuss with your gynecologist and possibly trim your IUD strings.
Yes! The Pixie Medium Disc is particularly helpful for shorter cervixes, and the cup’s flexible design works well for different cervix positions.
With proper care, both products are designed to last up to 10 years. Clean and store them in a cool, dry place, and inspect them for signs of wear every few months.
- Shape & Position: Cups are bell-shaped and sit in the vaginal canal, held by suction. Discs are flatter, sitting higher in the vaginal fornix, tucked behind the pubic bone.
- Capacity & Wear: Both can hold more than tampons and last up to 12 hours.
- Self-Emptying: Discs may self-empty when using the bathroom; cups don’t.
- Period Sex: Discs allow mess-free penetrative sex; cups need to be removed.
