What Makes the Pixie Disc & Applicator Different

Menstrual discs are gaining popularity as a sustainable and comfortable alternative to tampons and pads, but many people struggle with disc insertion and removal. The Pixie Disc & Applicator were designed to solve those exact challenges.

The Pixie Menstrual Disc features a unique removal string that allows you to remove your disc like a tampon. This intuitive design helps reduce mess, stress, and discomfort, making menstrual discs more approachable for both beginners and experienced users.

The Pixie Disc Applicator is the only menstrual disc applicator of its kind, allowing users to insert their disc like a tampon. This innovation improves ease of use, increases confidence, and lowers the learning curve for anyone new to reusable period care.
