Oh, yay! A chance to chat about menstrual discs! 😊
Thanks for opening up this convo—love the honesty here! Here’s
my real-life take:
Model: Cora Disc
Fit: Took me a couple tries to get the hang of it, but once I
did—super comfy! Didn’t even feel it after a while.
Leaks: Okay, so, the first cycle was a bit leaky (I think I put
it in wrong, lol), but after some YouTube tutorials, it’s been
solid except on the heaviest days.
Cleaning: Not gonna lie, a little messy at first! But it gets
easier, especially if you have a sink nearby.
Overall rating: 8/10! I feel like a menstrual disc ninja now!
Would totally recommend giving it a go, especially if cups
didn’t work for you. 👍
What about you all? Any tips or models you love? Don’t be
shy—every review helps someone out! 😊

Ooo yay, love this topic! 😊 Thanks for making a space
where we can chat honestly about these things! Here’s my review:
Model: Flex Disc
Fit: First time was a little awkward, not gonna lie! Took me a
couple of tries to get it in right, but the learning curve
wasn’t too bad. Once I got the hang of it, I barely felt it at
all!
Leaks: Honestly, I had a tiny bit of leaking the first
day—probably user error (lol)! After that, it was super
reliable, even overnight!
Cleaning: The disposable Flex is easy, you just toss it! I’ve
also tried the reusable ones (like the Cora Disc) and those take
a bit of getting used to, cleaning-wise, but it’s manageable if
you have a private bathroom!
Overall rating: 8/10! I’d totally recommend it if you’re tired
of tampons or pads. Definitely a little learning curve, but
worth it for the freedom!
Hope that helps! What do you think? Anyone else have a fave
brand? Don’t be shy! We’re all learning together!
😊✨

My review:
Model: Nixit Disc
Fit: I was kind of nervous to try it at first because it looked
so big 😅 but it actually folded up pretty easily. I had
to watch a YouTube video to figure out the best way to insert
it! After that, it was surprisingly comfy and I forgot it was
even there most of the time.
Leaks: I had a little leaking once when I didn’t get it behind
my pubic bone properly (oops!), but after that, it was fine. I
wore it to the gym and even during yoga, and it stayed put.
Cleaning: It’s a little weird at first because you have to wash
it out, but honestly it wasn’t as gross as I thought it would
be. I just rinsed it with cold water, then washed with soap at
home.
Overall rating: 7.5/10 – I like it a lot, especially for heavy
days. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth trying if you
want something reusable!
Anyone else try the Nixit or something similar? Would love to
hear other people’s experiences! 💬

Model: Nixit
Fit: If you’ve ever tried folding a fitted sheet while
blindfolded, you’re halfway there. The Nixit is “one size fits
most,” which means it fits as long as you are most people. The
first few tries are awkward—think origami, but with higher
stakes. Once it’s in, it’s actually comfortable. Almost
forgettable, if you can call any period product forgettable.
Leaks: First cycle? Leaks. Second cycle? Still leaks, but
less—because apparently experience is a thing. Past that? Mostly
leak-free unless you sneeze like a cartoon character or misjudge
the angle.
Cleaning: It’s reusable, so you get to relive your high school
biology lab every few hours. Rinses clean with cold water, but
if you’re trapped in a public restroom, may the odds be ever in
your favor.
Overall rating: 7.5/10. It’s eco-friendly, cost-effective, and,
once you’re through the crucible of learning, liberating. Just…
don’t expect it to be glamorous.
Summary:
If you want convenience, stick to disposables. If you want to
feel like you’re outsmarting the system (and are mildly
unbothered by bodily fluids), Nixit and its ilk are worth the
trouble. Just don’t plan your first try on a day you care about
your outfit.
Anyone else? Or is everyone too shy to admit they Googled “how
to get menstrual disc out without panicking”?

Model: Nixit
Fit: Picture trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the
manual, but it’s 6am and you haven’t had coffee. That’s the
vibe. Supposedly “one size fits most,” which is corporate-speak
for “good luck.” First attempts were clumsy, but eventually it
settles in and you forget it’s there—until you remember it’s
there.
Leaks: First two cycles: a Jackson Pollock painting. Practice
helps. Now it’s mostly reliable, unless you sneeze too hard or
get cocky. If you’re planning on bungee jumping or laughing at a
stand-up show, pack black underwear. Just in case.
Cleaning: The Nixit is reusable, which means you’re signing up
for a recurring anatomy pop quiz. Cleaning at home is fine—cold
water, patience, existential sigh. Public restrooms? Welcome to
your villain origin story.
Overall rating: 7/10. Great if you hate the planet less than you
hate inconvenience. Once you’re past the steep learning curve,
it’s actually kind of empowering, in a “congratulations, you’re
now your own gynecologist” way.
Summary: Not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, but
worth a try if you want to stop giving money to the tampon
industrial complex. Also, yes, I Googled “how to get a menstrual
disc out without calling 911.” We’ve all been there. Or we
haven’t, and they’re lying.
Anyone else want to admit defeat publicly, or am I alone in this
gladiator pit?

Model: Nixit
Fit: Imagine trying to put on skinny jeans in a phone
booth—unnecessarily complicated, but possible with practice.
“One size fits most” is optimistic, but yeah, it mostly works.
First few times felt like a trust fall with my own anatomy. Now?
I forget it’s there, most days.
Leaks: Honestly? First cycle was a crime scene. It gets better,
but you do have to learn the angle—like parallel parking, but
for your cervix. Once you get it, it’s fine. Unless you cough
with the enthusiasm of a toddler.
Cleaning: Welcome to the obligatory bloodbath. Rinses out easily
at home, but public bathrooms turn it into an Olympic sport. If
you’re squeamish, maybe just don’t.
Overall rating: 7.5/10. Not life-changing, but less annoying
than most alternatives. You save money. You feel smug about the
environment. You discover new levels of body literacy. Not a
glamorous journey, but at least it’s honest.
Summary:
If you want plug-and-play, stick to pads. If you’re okay with a
little trial by fire and the occasional existential crisis in a
bathroom stall, Nixit’s a solid option.
Bonus tip: Don’t try it for the first time before work. Or in
white pants. Trust me.
Anyone else brave enough to share their disc disasters? Or is
everyone pretending their first try was magical?
