Nixit Reviews

Definitely a hit or miss experience. I think that the disc is falsely advertised due to the claim that it will "fit everyone" - this is clearly not the case. While part of my problem was not knowing how to insert it properly, even with that figured out it is a little too large during certain days of my period. For some people this size simply won’t work...everyone is unique, so this one-size-(must)fit-all approach is a disservice to women. I also think that the so-called "extra soft silicone" isn't that great as it does having a "dragging" effect when inserting and removing. So, overall, it isn't that comfortable and it is also not cheap. This is not the disc brand I would recommend to people in all honesty.....save the money!!
UPDATE: Nixit just tried to bribe me to take this negative review down. God forbid people hear the truth about my personal experience about how meh this product is....

i just used this cup for the first time yesterday, this morning as I tried to remove it, it was so far suctioned up inside of me that I had to go to an urgent care clinic to have it removed. The doctor and the nurse were shocked at far it went and how difficult it was even for them to remove it with their tools. After some difficult and humiliating moments, they finally were able to pull out the Nixit disc. I'm frightened to ever use one of these things again which is too bad because I love the less-waste concept. I want a refund but apparently Nixit doesn't do that.

This is the worst period cup ever. Any cup that recommends to have a 3 months trial phase to get used to it and test how to insert it properly, is utterly pointless.
I have been using cups for over 4 years now. This is difficult to insert, is not easy to know if it sits right, until you leak all over your clothes! You have to really dig into your vaginally canal to get it past the pubic bone. And even then, no way of knowing if its inserted correctly. I tried for several months and it is not working for me at all.
It's also really messy to change due to the disc shape and nothing to really pull the full disc out...
The price tag is also, in comparison to other products, hefty.
The material is so thinly walled that I do not recommend having longer nails?! I guess women can't have it all...

First of all, I have never used any type of cup in my life. Always tampons and pads. I saw an ad and thought, hmmm interesting. When I got it, I was thinking “this looks big and uncomfortable”. Tried it and was so surprised and how easy it was to insert and I CANNOT FEEL IT! I am only on day 4 of use and I’m happy to report that I have had zero leaks even though I’m sure it wasn’t fully in the correct place the first couple times. Normally I work long shifts on my feet all day, sometimes without a bathroom break. And when you know you’re soaking through your tampon, it’s not fun. Now I never have to worry about it! I am absolutely never going back to disposables! I only wish I had this in my younger years. I will be buying one for my teenage daughter next and hope that she loves it as much as I do.

I am 51 years old and have never used a menstrual cup or disc before and after only a week I will say the Nixit is the best thing ever and recommend everyone give it a try!
I am perimenopausal and have had my period for 3 months straight (yes it sucks!! and yes I have seen my doctor). I'm not super heavy but have a constant steady period and you never know when a big gush is coming. I am overweight, have given birth to 3 children vaginally and have a lot of scar tissue down there. I have tried every brand and size of tampon available and always (even when the tampon is barely soiled) leak so I didn't expect a lot from the Nixit but after reading lots of reviews and information thought I would give it a try. I have used uncomfortable, messy and leaky pads for years and combination of pad or panty liner and tampons and have never had a worry or mess free period day until I tried the Nixit.
Like most reviewer I would agree that it takes a bit of playing around to get used to inserting the Nixit. The first time I tried it it took 20 minutes to get in what I thought was in place then it leaked. You do have to make sure that it is tucked under your pubic bone to prevent leaks but once you figure it out you can check easily with one finger that it is in the proper place and it doesn't seem to move. I was very nervous and wore a pantyliner for a few days and checked often but have only leaked once, it was only a little spotting so minimal compared to what I'm used to with tampons it was not a big deal. I have done yoga and exercised with it in place with no leaks. I thought I would remove it every few hours but it is so comfortable and when you don't see any signs of leaks I have had it in for 10-12 hours a few times. It actually seem like I don't even have my period.
The first time you remove it you will think it's a bit of a disaster but once you get used to it if you pull it down from the pubic bone and let it drain into the toilet then remove it is really not that bad. Although you will get some blood on your hand it is not much different from when you remove a soaked tampon and definitely less mess to wipe away down there.
I purchased the Nixit over other cups because it said you could have clean sex with it in. I have been married for 25 years and we usually have sex several times a week. My husband says he doesn't mind the mess but I don't enjoy having sex with my period. My usual period only lasted a few days so I could put him off but after 3 months we both are wanting some. I was a little nervous and thought that I should wash the Nixit and reinsert prior to sex so if it did leak it wouldn't be too messy but really there has been no need. We have had sex several times and once in the morning after the Nixit was in all night and there has been no mess. I have always removed it and washed it after sex but can't believe how it has stayed in place. My husband says he can't feel it. It is awesome!
When people complain about the cost of Nixit I am shocked. I purchased at our local pharmacy for $42 and that it is way cheaper than what I have spent on pads and tampons in the last 3 months never mind over my years of periods.
From some of the review I know it may not work for everyone. If you are willing to give it a honest try hopefully you will find that it is comfortable, reliable and mess free and like me you will wish you would have started using it years ago!
Update! I have now been using the Nixit for about a month (yes still dealing with the period that never ends.) Today is the first leaky day I have had but my period is very heavy today. I have had to remove the Nixit every 2 hours as I am getting some spotting coming through. I have been wearing a pantyliner and have by no means soaked it but have had some spots of fluid on the liner which has prompted me to dump the Nixit which has had a lot of blood in it. I know this is one of those days that I would normally be soaking through a tampon and pad so I am still very happy with the Nixit compared to the mess I usually have but thought I would mention this.

I'm on my second cycle with Nixit. I tried a couple cups in the past, but they were uncomfortable (too long) and caused me to vasovagal if they popped open and hit my cervix. Also, I found breaking the seal of a cup uncomfortable for my sensitive cervix and to empty the cup it needs to be removed fully every time and reinserted, and I'm a heavy bleeder so that's fairly often for me.
I was so tired of the waste of tampons and ongoing cost.
I used to use Nuvaring for contraception and this inserts and sits in a similar fashion, so I thought I'd try it. It took me a few times to insert this into correct position, but I cannot feel it when it's in place- at all. It is of utmost importance to really tuck it up behind the pubic bone so it won't leak, but I don't leak a bit if I do. Side note, it slows my urinary stream because is presses on the urethra.
The one draw back for me, is that it can be quite messy to remove- like blood all over messy. I have learned to just untuck it from behind my pubic bone and drain it, then push it back up, rather than fully remove it. I only fully remove it occasionally during my cycle to rinse now which has helped.
So in summary this is a total win for me: comfortable, doesn't leak, no waste.

The cup is not for everyone. I did not like the way it fit.
Read the return policy very carefully.
Customer service was quick to respond to my inquiries and issues and they were helpful in resolving them.

When I first got my Nixit cup (or disc) I was a little scared at first, so I watched some videos on how to insert, how to wash it, ETC... and when my period came I was so scared it would leak!
but to my surprise, I put it in correctly, and there were no leaks. It took acouple tries of putting it in under the pubic bone, but once I got it, I couldn't feel a thing and I forgot about it until I got home from work. I definitely would recommend this to anyone in my family who menstrate.
Pros:
- Comfortable fit
- No leak throughout the day
- Some-what easy to take out
- No cramps
- No more pad/ tampon buying
Cons:
- Alittle bit of a mess
- May not fit for all women (It depends on the height of your cervix)

At first I didn’t think the Nixit disc was right for me as well as the 3 menstrual cups I’ve previously tried! On my first and many tries I was leaking every time and the disc wouldn’t stay behind my pubic bone. Very determined for it to work I contacted Nixit support for help over two days whilst trying all the different ways to put it in, watching you tube videos, looking at the anatomy of uterus and reading reviews. Nixit offered great support through messenger. Through persistence I have learned that l needed to push the disc far down there... like I’m trying to lose it, then make sure it’s up in place... ensuring I can feel my cervix through the disc. I have a high cervix and I’m very very heavy first two days and the disc has helped so much. Learning to put the disc in is very hands on and takes time but is worth it if you bleed heavy.

Be very careful. If you are unsuccessful in using this cup, there is no way to refund. I tried to use it for several cycles and used every tip, trick and advise offered on their website and from their staff. At the end they said “Due to the nature of our product, we are unable to accept returns or issue refunds. If you ever want to try it again and we can offer you some more tips, please do let us know!” For the amount of money they are making off of this little piece of silicone, you think they would take care of their customers. After not getting a response via review and email, I finally had to take it to social media to get a response.
DivaCup all the way!

I absolutely love my nixit. My periods started getting heavier and longer a few years ago and I started to despise that time of the month. I was going through entirely too many tampons, pads and when I was using the diva cup, changing that thing every two hours (sometimes less than two hours) was a hassle.
The first day of using nixit, I new that it was going to be a keeper for two reasons (1) it holds more and (2) you don’t have to remove it to empty it. Drops mic right there. My last two periods have been hassle free. I don’t have to stock up on pads and tampons and I don’t have to worry about changing products every two hours.
The one down fall is that I can’t remove it without making a mess. Luckily I don’t have to remove it often. And my two points above make up for this.
Anyway, I love this product. Definitely recommend people try it.

Great Experience. Good Job, Keep it up.
