Happy Customers that Switched to nixit
Nixit disc
I switched to the disc after getting an IUD where I wasn’t comfortable continuing to use the diva cup. It’s very comfortable it was a bit of a learning curve to get the placement correct but once I got the hang of it it’s been excellent. I love the self emptying feature which is convenient for public washrooms. I’d recommend it!
Total game changer
I was always nervous about menstrual cups & had trouble inserting them, so discs also made me nervous at first, but Nixit is amazing, and I'm so glad I switched! Easier to insert than a cup (imo), no suction, 12hr wear, hands-free emptying, NO leaks made in Canada. I can't recommend it enough!
Better than a traditional cup!
I have used a menstrual cup for the last several years, but recently started to hear that suction is very bad for the body. So I switched to the disc and am so happy I did. I no longer have to struggle to achieve the right suction to prevent leakage, just insert and go! This will be my go-to for the remainder of my reproductive days!
Truly incredible
I have used other menstrual cups for many years. They always seem to leak and I have to change multiple times a day. When I switched to nixit it was SO easy to use. I have never had a leak. I actually forget I have my period sometimes!! I’ll never use anything else!
as advertised
you really can do everything they say you can with it! and much easier to use than a traditional diva cup.
Life-changing!
Having tried diva cup in the past I was excited to try another design which promised to be more comfortable and Nixit did not disappoint! Once I got the hang of retrieving it, which can be gory, I knew I’ll never go back to using anything else. Highly recommend it!
Love this cup!
It’s amazing. Used a Saalt cup for the longest time. I was sound on the cup being better than tampons BUT didn’t love it. Mainly, when removing it; it was hard around the rim so removing it was painful at times. The Nixit is not like that at all. it’s legit the best thing ever. My selling point was the self empty when going potty.
Love it!
I was using tampons for years, finally switches to disposable discs, like the flex disc or soft disc. Loved those, but found that they were hard to position. Then I switched to the nixit disc and love it! It can be hard if you’re out in public and need to rinse it, but I just find stand alone bathroom and take care of it. Or use a wipe in a pinch. I have less cramps and a lighter flow while using this. Idk if the nixit is the cause of this, but my periods are shorter too! 4 days versus 5-6
