Hi everyone, thanks for checking out my blog! Today I’ll be talking about the current period cup that I use, Nixit, that was recently featured in My Top 4 Sustainable Period Care Products guide. Period cups can take a little bit of time to get used to, but if they work with your body, I’d recommend giving them a try because they can really help you reduce your environmental footprint by doing away with single-use period products. Here are the key reasons I prefer using this brand!
12 Hour Protection
The best thing about period cups in my opinion is the length or wear without fear of Toxic Shock Syndrome caused by wearing a tampon too long. Nixit holds 70 ml (4 super plus tampons worth) and can be worn up to 12 hours. Since it’s quarantine and I’m mostly at home I prefer wearing the cup all day alongside my favorite pair of period underwear. I personally don’t feel comfortable changing the cup in places outside of my house (it can get messy) but since I’m at home all day this hasn’t been an issue!
Ease of Wear
Their unique circular design fits my body better and doesn’t feel as uncomfortable as other cups that I’ve worn. It also has a double rim which helps prevent leakage. I’ve struggled with longer shaped period cups and this circle might not seem as large, but it actually holds a lot!
