nixit menstrual disc
At nixit, we make using a menstrual cup simple. Our disc-style, one-size-fits-all cup is made from ultra-soft, medical-grade silicone - perfect for comfort and leak protection. Unlike firmer options, softer cups like nixit adapt to your body for a secure fit when inserted correctly.
Thanks to its stem-free, suction-free design, the nixit menstrual disc sits behind the pubic bone, comfortably supported by your pelvic floor muscles. It holds up to 70ml (ideal for a heavy flow) and allows for mess-free period sex and IUD use.
Easy to insert and remove, nixit might just be the best menstrual cup for anyone looking to simplify their cycle. Now FSA/HSA eligible!

FAQs
Will the nixit menstrual disc fit me?
When the sides are pinched together for insertion, nixit is the same size as a regular tampon. Since our disc is soft and flexible, it is easy to insert, no matter your shape or size.
Is the nixit menstrual disc reusable or disposable?
The nixit menstrual disc is a fully reusable product that can be cleaned with ease. One major benefit being cost-savings on removing the need to keep purchasing traditional period products.
Can I use a menstrual disc if I have an IUD?
The nixit disc is safe to wear with an IUD when used as directed, but we do recommend consulting with your physician before first use regarding your particular IUD.
What is the difference between a menstrual disc and a menstrual cup?
We refer to nixit as a disc due to the fact that it does not use suction to stay in place and has a circular shape. Traditional reusable menstrual cups are bell shaped and sit in your vaginal canal, whereas nixit sits in your vaginal fornix. Both discs and cups collect your flow, even though they sit in different places, so we are happy to be called a cup or a disc!
How does a menstrual disc work?
The nixit disc sits underneath your cervix and collects your flow. At least every 12 hours, you remove the disc, empty the contents, wash it and then re-insert it. We have some great ‘how-to’ videos here.
Does the nixit menstrual disc have a pull tab or string?
The nixit menstrual disc does not feature a pull tab or string, for good reason! Our simple design allows for easy insertion and removal, removing the risk of a pull tab or string moving around and becoming difficult to locate.
