okay recording and hoping this all goes well there's a truck of course
hey everybody this is Kim from Put A Cup In It and today is a very quick and
dirty video about a new product that we just got in our hot little hands and
it's called the Nixit. The Nixit is a disc similar to the Ziggy reusable disc
by Intimina and also similar to the Flex or the soft cups that you've seen
that are the one-time use products so before we get into it just wanted to say
this is it's been a while since our videos it's been a while since we've
done a video we've been quite busy behind the scenes and on top of that I
got some micro blading done so for about three weeks
you did not want to see my face I looked like I had angry brows we haven't tried
this product by Nixit yet it just came in yesterday and I immediately fell in
love with the packaging so I figured it would be fun to do an unboxing video
because it's really just a beautiful box and you can get this box in a few
different colors so Nixit is a menstrual disc that is very different
from a menstrual cup it says menstrual cup but it is a disc so we do hate the
confusion that this causes when a disc calls themselves a cup. cups go in
differently they're folded to be put in differently discs sit differently in the
vagina when we refer to this it's going to be referred to as a disc- or we will
try our hardest but we haven't tried it because we just got it so this is just
to give you a sneak peek at a new product that's coming out because there
aren't a lot of reusable discs there are a million reusable cups but the only
discs that are out are the Ziggy by Intimina, the Nixit which just came out
and the lumma disc which is hard to find in the state so this will be something
you can shop for and buy in the states and it is a Canadian brand I got
lipstick on that hi kitty so I should shut my doors so the box is beautiful
it's you actually get a choice of color on the website when you order this you
can choose what color I really like this neon green then I was sent but
they have a blue and a purple and some other color has a big red circle very
bold and modern which I love I love anything that reminds me of Modern Art
and the branding is just amazing so that's a plus from me and I know amanda
was super impressed by the box as well on the side "nix worries nix
plastic nixs strings nix leaks nix stigmas nix it period" so
they give you a little bit of an overview on the back and it is 100%
medical grade silicone so let's go ahead and take a look inside and it opens with
this really beautiful magnetic clasp it comes with a great guide for how to use
it very very simple it says "empowerment is. embarrassment
is out." so the guide itself is just really great gives you the full steps on
preparation you're gonna boil it before you use it for the first time how to
insert I would say that I prefer inserting anything discs or cups
standing they show you seated but I'm sure people will eventually find what
works for them and it shows how the disc sits inside which the disc sits inside
sort of slanted beneath the cervix sort of tucked behind it a bit and then
against the pubic bone this is going to be a trial and error if you've never
used a disc just like with cups or with anything and then to remove it they make
it sound real easy like always discs do if you've seen videos that Amanda and I
have done on the Flex and the video I did of Ziggy by Intimina removal was my
least favorite part of using a disc and that is the case for me but not
everybody hates it so removal they say to bear down and kind of hook it and
pull down away from your tailbone and try to keep it level so it doesn't make
a mess and let me tell you is real hard to do as much as I've tried
with Ziggy and with the Flex I've always made a mess we affectionately call disks
"blood drawers" and I expect that this will function like any disc so when it
comes to removal I'm gonna guess that's going to be the same for me and this is
just settled in there nicely it's the sort of coral pinky color and now we're
gonna actually look at the product so you can get an idea of what that's like
it's very similar to in size as the Flex in their diameter but of course
this is reusable silicone it's really soft to the touch and soft and firmness
and it has this double wall rim similar to the Ziggy by Intimina the silicone here
is very much like very thin like you can see the light through it I looked online
this does not say how long it lasts in terms of just years like using it is
reusable about how many years did they say cups typically lasts up to ten years
I'm guessing because this is a thinner silicone it may not last as long but I'm
sure you can get a couple of years out of it so I'd like to see that added to
the website because I think it's important when people are buying it just
to understand how long they can be used for but they do say you can wear up to
12 hours they also say that it holds 70 milliliters which again I take issue
with that kind of capacity listed on a disc because that's sort of measuring
like here like you filled it up with water when it's inside it's still kind
of squished it's not really gonna hold that amount while it's inside the vagina
and if it did and you removed it it would be Oh an absolute bloodbath
literally in your toilet and on your hands but it is and we'll do a quick
comparison to the Ziggy disc this is just completely round there's no right
or wrong way to put this in whereas the Ziggy does have a directional insertion
and the Ziggy has that kind of honeycomb design this is just a very flat silicone
and so you can really put it in any way versus the directional Ziggy and this is
just completely round Ziggy's oblong the flex again very plasticky and this
is very firm this is a lot softer and firmness to the Ziggy by Intimina so if
you want something a little softer if you've tried the Ziggy and you want
something that's not as firm on the rim this one is softer and the price point
is kind of scary it is $49.99 which is a lot it's a lot for a disc so far
reusable discs do seem to be a little pricier than their cup counterpart you can
find a mrenstrual cup really easily for somewhere between $20 to $30 that sweet
spot is about $25 this is $50 again that's double what you're often going to
find menstrual cups for and they don't last as long so if you're it's not like
a budgetary thing it's not cheaper to buy discs than a cup it's usually often
more expensive and I should mention that it does come with its own bag which is
with their same branding motif super modern and fun and there's an artist
that really reminds me of and it will never come to me here but that has that
figure style that coral-y color that matches the cup the cup only comes in
this color right now the box comes in different colors that's it we want to
thank Nixit for sending over one of these to each of us so we can check it
out I love the box I'm so in love with the box and the branding you know if
