How to Have a Plastic-Free Period

Nixit's disc-style menstrual cups (£36) are made from 100 percent medical-grade silicone and arrive at your door in a plastic-free, reusable box. In 3.5 years on the market, Nixit has diverted over 4.2 million pounds of period product waste from landfill! The difference between discs and cups is that discs sit in the vaginal fornix, right under the cervix, rather than in the vaginal canal where tampons and other cups sit. It tucks behind the pubic bone and relies on one's anatomy to stay in place, rather than creating a seal with suction. Because of this, many people with IUDs prefer discs.
