Alright. Let’s pretend I’m your average, mildly jaded woman
who’s been lured—once again—into the gladiator arena of
menstrual product marketing. Spoiler: there are no winners, only
survivors.
Which have I tried?
Nixit: The “one-size-fits-all” that fits about as well as
optimism at a tax audit. Soft, squishy, easy-ish to insert if
you’re not squeamish about reaching for your own cervix. Stays
put. Decent for heavy days. Cleaning it? About as fun as you’d
expect.
Flex Disc: If you like single-use convenience and the
environmental guilt that comes with it, Flex is your friend.
Super comfortable, barely noticeable—until you remember you’re
basically wearing a tiny plastic kiddie pool. Good for mess-free
sex, allegedly. (I don’t kiss and tell. Or, you know… never
mind.)
Cora Disc: Tries very hard to be your best friend—pretty
packaging, “empowering” copy, etc. Functionality-wise, it’s
similar to Flex, but the fit can be hit or miss. Comfort is
subjective; some swear by it, others swear at it.
Intimina Ziggy: The reusable one that looks weirdly
futuristic—like it should come with a user manual and a
warranty. Flexible. Can be tricky to place, but once it’s in,
it’s very comfortable. Capacity is impressive, almost
suspiciously so.
What stands out?
- Comfort: Nixit and Ziggy (Intimina) are the MVPs here, but
only if you get the placement right. Otherwise, enjoy the
existential dread of wondering if you’re leaking.
- Quality: Ziggy feels robust. Nixit is soft but holds up. Flex
and Cora? Fine, but disposable things rarely feel luxurious.
- Ease of Use: Flex for beginners, Nixit/Ziggy for the bold
and/or bored.
Summary:
None of them are perfect. You’ll probably have to try a couple
and make peace with a learning curve (and likely some light
swearing). If you like routine, start with Flex. If you crave
adventure, try Ziggy or Nixit and experience the thrill of DIY
gynecology.
You’re welcome. Or not.

Menstrual Discs: The Great Brand Cage Match
Right. You want “real woman” takes, not the sterile, influencer
unboxing nonsense. Fine.
Tried:
[list]
[*]Flex: Yes, I’ve used it. It’s the first one most people try
because marketing, marketing, marketing. It’s flexible (shock),
easy-ish to insert, but sometimes feels like it’s trying to
high-five your cervix from the inside. The pull tab is a
love/hate situation—nice in theory, but can feel a little… too
present.
[*]Nixit: The minimalist’s dream (if your dream is a disc that
looks like it was designed by an unenthusiastic Scandinavian).
No pull tab, which means removal is a fun little game of “do I
have nails today?” Once it’s in, though, it’s genuinely
comfortable. Can forget it’s there—which is the highest praise
you can give a menstrual product.
[*]Cora: The Cora disc is soft and easy to fold, but sometimes
too soft. If your pelvic floor is doing anything other than
napping, it might get squished out of place. Points for
aesthetics and packaging if you care about that, which I don’t.
[*]Intimina Ziggy: The only disc that’s more expensive than
disappointing your parents. It’s reusable, which is nice for the
planet, and the fit is lower, which some people love, some
people hate. It’s slipperier than your ex’s apologies, so be
ready for a learning curve.
[/list]
Standouts:
— Nixit for comfort and “did I just ascend to a higher plane?”
invisibility.
— Flex for beginners who want training wheels and hype.
The rest? They exist. Like Mondays. Or elevator music.
Quick advice: It comes down to your body and your patience for
trial and error. Discs are more “choose your own adventure” than
cups. Don’t trust anyone who says there’s only one “best”—they
probably have affiliate links.
You’re welcome. Or not. Either way, you’ll survive.

Menstrual Discs: The "Thrilling" Reality Showdown
You want the unfiltered, human take? Fine. Here’s the highlight
reel—minus the soft focus and perky disclaimers.
Tried:
Flex: Yeah, I’ve used it. It’s the starter kit for most
because—surprise—Instagram ads. It bends, it flexes, it tries to
make friends with your cervix. The pull tab: either the best
thing ever or the reason you’re contemplating an exorcism.
Sometimes feels a little too... present.
Nixit: If minimalism had a weird, squishy cousin. No pull tab,
just vibes and hope. Removal is a manual dexterity test—good
luck if you’re in a hurry. But honestly? Once it’s in, you
forget it. Comfort level: “Did I actually put it in, or am I
losing my mind?”
Cora: Softer than my tolerance for small talk. Folds easy, but
sometimes too easy—if your pelvic floor is ambitious, it can
push it out of place. Pretty box, but we’re not here for
packaging, are we?
Intimina Ziggy: The “premium” option. Read: expensive and
determined to slip out of your grip (and sometimes out of you,
if you sneeze wrong). Reusable, so you can feel smug about the
planet while you wrestle it in the bathroom.
Standouts:
[list]
[*] Nixit for comfort and invisibility. If you want to forget
you’re bleeding, this is your ticket.
[*] Flex for first-timers and people who want clear instructions
and hype.
[/list]
The others? They exist. Like unsalted crackers or Mondays. You
might try them once and move on.
Real-life advice: It’s trial and error. Bodies are weird, and
marketing is a liar. The “best” disc is the one that doesn’t
make you want to rage-quit your uterus. Don’t trust anyone who
says otherwise.
Now go forth and conquer, or at least survive. That’s as much
encouragement as you’re getting from me.

Menstrual Discs: The Brand Reality Check
You want actual lived opinions, not copy-pasted “empowered
goddess” blog spam? Fine. Here’s the rundown, minus the sugar
and the soft focus.
Tried:
Flex: The “gateway disc.” Marketing everywhere. The tab is
either your best friend or an annoying plastic reminder you’re,
in fact, human. Insertion’s easy enough, but sometimes the fit
feels like it’s a little too enthusiastic about anatomy. Comfort
level: fine, as long as you’re not doing Olympic yoga.
Nixit: Minimalist, no strings, no tabs, no nonsense. Removal is
a test of finger dexterity and whether you trimmed your nails.
Once it’s in, it’s… nothing. That’s the magic: you forget it’s
there, unless you suddenly remember and panic that you forgot
it’s there. Best for: anyone tired of feeling “aware” all day.
Cora: Tries hard to be soft and pretty. It is soft—sometimes too
soft. If you sneeze wrong or your pelvic floor sneezes for you,
it might shift. Good for: gentle days, shallow anatomy, or
anyone who wants packaging that looks Instagrammable in your
recycling bin.
Intimina Ziggy: The “fancy” one. Meant to be reusable, but it’s
so slippery it could double as a stress toy. Learning curve is
steep. Once you get it right, you might love it, but getting
there is a journey. Expensive, but less trash. Also: you can
allegedly have mess-free sex with it in. Let me know if you
manage that without a crime scene.
Standouts:
[list]
[*]Nixit for “I forgot I had a uterus” comfort.
[*]Flex for the “training wheels” experience—beginner-friendly,
but you might graduate past it.
[/list]
The rest? They’re fine. Like background noise or unsalted
crackers. Not bad, just… there.
Advice:
Discs are a personal science experiment. It’s trial and error
and sometimes you’ll swear at your bathroom mirror. Ignore
anyone who promises “the one true disc.” They’re lying, or
selling you something. You’ll find what works for your anatomy
and your patience level.
Welcome to the club. It’s weird, but you’re not alone.

Menstrual Discs: Brutal Truths, No Pink Glitter
Alright, you want real—not “I’m a gynecologist, here’s my 10%
off code.” Here’s what I’ve actually tried and what stuck, in
the kind of detail that’s usually reserved for group chats and
late-night oversharing.
Tried:
Flex: The gateway drug. Marketing everywhere, so of course I
tried it first. The pull tab is supposed to be genius, but
sometimes it feels like someone left a receipt in your
underwear. Insertion is easy, removal is… a learning experience.
Comfort? Decent, if your anatomy plays nice.
Nixit: For people who want to forget they’re bleeding entirely.
No tab, just a round disc that’s somehow both intimidating and
minimalist. Removal can require some soul-searching if your
nails are short. Comfort level: “Did I put it in, or am I just
that emotionally numb?” (In a good way.) My personal winner for
disappearing acts.
Cora: Soft, pretty, and a little too gentle. If you sneeze,
cough, or do anything dramatic, it might decide to take a field
trip. Gorgeous packaging, but I don’t buy period products for
the box. Feels like it’s made for people who only menstruate in
yoga poses.
Intimina Ziggy: Slippery as a politician and twice as hard to
get a straight answer from. Yes, it’s reusable and eco-friendly,
but you need a PhD in patience to get it seated right. Bonus:
they claim you can have mess-free sex with it. Reality: Good
luck, and invest in dark towels.
Standouts:
[list]
[*]Nixit: For “I forgot I had a period” days. Comfort gold
medalist, if you can wrangle it out after.
[*]Flex: Good for beginners and people who want training wheels.
You’ll probably outgrow it.
[/list]
The rest are fine. Not bad, not life-changing. Like decaf coffee
or those “live, laugh, love” signs—harmless, but not why you’re
here.
Final advice: It’s trial and error. Your anatomy will decide,
not some rando with a coupon code. Anyone who promises “the
perfect disc” is lying, or trying to sell you one.
Welcome to the blood sport. You’ll figure it out.
You survived worse.

Menstrual Discs: Brutal Brand Breakdown
You want the “real woman” take? Fine. Here’s the messy,
unfiltered, “I’ve actually bled on these” version. No glowy
influencer nonsense. No affiliate codes. Just the truth, and a
little judgment because—let’s be honest—you’re asking a stranger
on the internet about period gear.
Flex:
The first disc most people try because—surprise—advertising
works. The pull tab is either brilliant or a constant poke in
your insides, depending on your anatomy and luck. Easy-ish to
insert. Comfort is… fine, but you’ll always know it’s there,
like a slightly annoying roommate.
Nixit:
For minimalists and anyone who hates feeling “aware” of a
product. No pull tab, no frills, just a disc. Removal is a “do I
have nails today?” adventure. But once it’s in—poof—gone. If you
want to forget your uterus exists, this is as close as you get.
Cora:
Pretty soft. Sometimes too soft—like, “whoops, it just folded
itself out of place because I sneezed” soft. Packaging looks
good, if that matters. Probably best for lighter days or if your
pelvic floor isn’t training for the Olympics.
Intimina Ziggy:
Reusable. Expensive. Slippery as guilt. If you manage to insert
it and not drop it in the toilet, congrats. There’s a learning
curve, but once you get it, the comfort is real. They say you
can have mess-free sex with it in. Maybe if you’re an acrobat or
a magician.
Standouts:
[list]
[*]Nixit—for “did I just level up?” invisibility.
[*]Flex—for beginners who want literal training wheels.
[/list]
The rest? They exist. Like decaf coffee or “live, laugh, love”
signs.
Bottom line:
Discs are like jeans—what fits your best friend will probably
ride up on you. Buy a couple. Expect trial and error. Anyone who
tells you “this is the one true disc” is lying or hoping for a
commission. You’ll survive. And once you figure it out, you get
to be the smug one in these threads.
You’re welcome. Or whatever.

Menstrual Discs: The Unvarnished Brand Breakdown
You want real? Here’s the “not sponsored, not sugarcoated, not
pretending this is a spa day” answer. I've actually used these,
I have opinions, and yes—sometimes I wish I didn’t have to.
Flex: The “starter disc.” You know it because it’s everywhere.
The pull tab is a love-hate thing: sometimes it helps, sometimes
it’s just a plastic reminder of regret. Insertion is decent, but
you’ll know it’s there if your anatomy is picky. Comfort:
passable, not magical. Good for: beginners, people who want
training wheels, or those who love being marketed to.
Nixit: The minimalist’s choice. No tabs, no strings, just a soft
disc and your willingness to go fishing. Removal is a test of
patience (and nail length). When it’s in, it’s… nothing. That’s
the point. I’ve actually forgotten it for hours—highest praise
possible. Good for: people who want to forget they’re wearing
anything at all.
Cora: Soft. Sometimes too soft—think “folds in half if you look
at it wrong.” Pretty packaging, if that’s your thing. Not as
reliable if your pelvic floor is ambitious or you’re prone to
sudden sneezes. Good for: gentle days, sensitive bodies, or
anyone who wants their period products to look like a Pinterest
board.
Intimina Ziggy: The “luxury” disc. Reusable, which is good for
the planet (if your wallet can take the hit). It’s so slippery
it might file for workers’ comp. Takes practice to get right,
but once it’s there, it’s comfortable. They market it as
“mess-free period sex.” If you pull that off, write a book. Good
for: people who like a challenge, or hate single-use anything.
Standouts
Nixit—for “is this what freedom feels like?” invisibility.
Flex—for beginners who want to know what’s happening in there at
all times.
The rest? They’re fine. Like unsalted rice cakes: technically
food, but nobody’s writing poetry about them.
Advice: Menstrual discs are trial and error, like bad dating
apps or assembling Ikea furniture. What fits me might not fit
you. Don’t trust anyone who says there’s only one “best”—they’re
lying or have affiliate links. Stock up, experiment, and when
you find your match, never let go.
You’ll survive. You might even get smug about it.
You’re welcome. Or not.
