Declutter Your Stash: Start Your Sustainable Period Care

Kick off your sustainable period care by sorting through your period products. Toss anything expired, unhealthy for your body, or harsh on the environment. As your next cycle approaches, give your menstrual cup or disc a thorough deep clean. After a month in storage, a proper sanitization ensures it’s fresh and ready to go—perfect for your menstrual cup routine.

Pixie offers plenty of sanitization options to fit your lifestyle. Our Pixie Steamers are a fan favorite: just press a button, and you’re done! For on-the-go convenience, Pixie Dust Sanitizer or Carry Cups are perfect. Prefer the classic boiling method? We’ve got you covered. Choose what works best for you.

Pixie’s Menstrual Cup Routine: Comfort and Care

Here’s how to weave Pixie products into your menstrual cup routine for a seamless, sustainable day:

Morning: Rise with Period Pain Relief ☀️

Mornings on your period can feel sluggish—we get it. Pop on a Pixie Heat Patch or Thermal Belt—top picks for period pain relief—to ease aches while you get moving. They’re comfy, mobile, and last through your morning into the workday!

Pair it with a hot, hydrating drink like warm lemon water or herbal tea. Hydration fights bloating and boosts circulation. Bonus points for ginger or peppermint tea—both are champs at tackling cramps, nausea, and headaches.

Insertion Time: Menstrual Cup Routine Basics

Before inserting your cup or disc, always wash your hands. It’s a golden rule for your menstrual cup routine and handling intimate skin. Once your hands and cup or disc are clean, add a dab of Pixie Lube for easy, comfortable insertion. Our water-based, silicone-safe, travel-friendly lube makes the process a breeze.

Using a disc? Our Pixie Disc Applicator lets you insert it like a tampon—lube it up for a smoother experience! After use, clean the applicator with Pixie Gel Wash, Sanitizing Mist, or Dust Sanitizer (no steaming or boiling for the applicator). Finish by washing your hands again.

Midday: Stay Comfortable on the Go 🚶‍♀️

Lunch breaks are perfect for a period refresh in your menstrual cup routine. Whether you’re heading to work, school, or running errands, a Thermal Belt or Heat Patch discreetly delivers warmth for period pain relief while keeping you mobile. Add a few spritzes of Pixie Magnesium Spray for on-the-go muscle relaxation.

Take five minutes for a gentle walk or try stretches like child’s pose or cat-cow to relieve tension. Snack smart with magnesium-rich foods—think almonds or dark chocolate—to support muscle relaxation.

Emptying Time: Menstrual Cup Routine Tips

Lunch break is also ideal for emptying your cup or disc—never wear it longer than 12 hours without cleaning. As you perfect your menstrual cup routine, you’ll find your own rhythm. For quick cleans while out, use Pixie Sanitizing Mist, Feminine Wipes, or Gel Wash. Give your vulva a quick wipe before reinserting.

No sink nearby? No problem! The Pixie Carry Cup is a lifesaver. Fill it halfway with water, take it to the stall, empty your cup or disc, pop it in the Carry Cup, shake it up, and voila—clean and ready to reinsert!

Afternoon: Boost Period Pain Relief 🌿

If cramps linger, it’s time for the Pixie Pulse—a standout for period pain relief. Apply the pads to your lower back or abdomen and let the gentle pulses block pain signals. Adjust the intensity to your liking—it’s discreet enough for work meetings!

Still tense? Add another spritz of Pixie Magnesium Spray for extra period pain relief.

Evening: Wind Down with Your Menstrual Cup Routine 🌙

End your day with a mini spa moment in your menstrual cup routine. A warm bath or shower relaxes muscles—add Epsom salts for a magnesium boost. You don’t even have to remove your cup or disc while you soak! Use Pixie Foam Wash—gentle on your vagina and cup or disc—to keep your microbiome happy.

Post-bath, try Pixie’s Vulva Balm. This all-natural moisturizer soothes irritation and keeps your intimate skin hydrated. Apply a dab once daily for extra comfort.

Slip into cozy pajamas with a fresh Heat Patch for lingering period pain relief. Sip chamomile tea, enjoy calming music, read, or jot down period notes in a journal or app. Before bed, spritz Magnesium Spray for relaxation and better sleep. With your cup or disc in place, enjoy leak-free protection all night.

End of Your Cycle: Prep for Sustainable Period Care

When your period ends, prep your cup or disc for storage to maintain your sustainable period care. Sanitize it with the Pixie Steamer, Dust Sanitizer, or by boiling. Clean your Disc Applicator with Sanitizing Mist or Dust Sanitizer, too. For extra freshness, soak your cup or disc in Pixie Stain Remover to ensure it’s spotless for next month.
