Pixie Menstrual Cup Compact Sterilizer for Feminine Care - Good for Public Restrooms, Camping or Dorms - Collapsible Cleaner Container for Your Menstrual Disc & Period Cup - Microwavable - Reusable

This works so well. I pour hot water in here to sterilize my menstrual cup, or sometimes I’ll put hydrogen peroxide in here and leave it on my window sill to bleach it back out. It’s very easy to use, collapses down flat again, easy to clean. You could do the same thing in a glass bowl or something but I do like having a designated container for it. Super useful and does what it is supposed to well.

Amazing product, even better customer service! I opened the carry cup and realized it’s a tad too big to fit in my everyday crossbody bag, reached out to Pixie and they went above and beyond to help me out! If you use a disc or cup, you NEED this carry cup. Perfectly collapsible, nice thick silicone, and love that you can sanitize in it! Also- The red color is gorgeous. I do find it a tad big for public use/carrying around, but it would definitely work (as long as you don’t have a tiny purse like I do!)

I love how easier this has made my life . Since it’s collapsable , it’s very compact for traveling / keeping in your purse/ backpack etc. it’s cute design & color makes it’s discreet. Perfect for rinsing out your disc/ cup on the road / public restrooms. Also perfect for microwaving sterilization or even simply using as a container to pour boiling water into and letting it soak. The handles are very useful and convenient. I use a Hello Disc and it fits perfectly . I looked at other options but I felt this one stood out more with its size and handles. Honestly don’t know why I didn’t buy sooner but glad I finally did !

Bought this to clean and sterilizer my cup while on a trip. Worked great. I was able to discreetly clean my cup or disc (I alternate) while in a public restroom. I was also able to sanitize my cup or disc in the evenings using my hotel microwave. I chose this one over others due to the handles.

I like using menstrual cups for both my health (less exposure to toxins from bleached cotton) and environmental reasons (less wasteful than disposable pads and tampons). After each period, I would boil my cup in a small pot of water for 5-10 minutes as suggested by the manufacturer. However, it was always a bit of a process that took some time and I'd do it early in the morning so my husband didn't have to see the pots we use for cooking involved in sterilizing my feminine products. This Pixie sterilizing cup has been an improvement all around. It uses very little water - I add just enough to cover the menstrual cup by a quarter of an inch. I shove the menstrual cup sideways into the bottom of the Pixie Cup, so even less water is required. Then I put the cover on and zap it in the microwave on high for about 1.5 minutes. That is enough to get the water nearly boiling. Certainly hot enough to kill any lingering organisms. I just let it cool til it's safe to handle and then rinse them both out and voila! All done. You certainly can place the menstrual cup straight into the Pixie Cup without turning it sideways, but I've read reviews where having the water that close to the rim meant it overflowed once it was hot. So I prefer cramming it in on its side and keeping the water level as low as possible for safety. Another alternative is to soak the menstrual cup in hydrogen peroxide in the Pixie Cup, but I have tried that after the boiling method and nothing fizzed or bubbled. This means the peroxide was not finding any cells to break down because the boiling was enough to remove any foreign matter. So I'd recommend either boiling or peroxide, but both don't seem necessary. My only caution is that the Pixie Cup material does get very hot due to contact from the water inside. So be careful when handling it after heating. I have learned to handle the Pixie Cup near the top when removing it from the microwave. Silicone is an awesome material in that it is safe, non-reactive, and withstands very high temperatures without breaking down (that's why you often see it used to coat kitchen utensils). But that thin layer being in contact with very hot water means if you grab the Pixie Cup straight out of the microwave it still gets pretty toasty! It's much better than using something metal, however, which would burn your skin immediately under the same conditions. So be aware of what you're doing, don't have unrealistic expectations of the materials, and use common sense. That will ensure you get the most out of your Pixie Cup and make our periods slightly less of a hassle ;-)

Easy to use and easy to carry around in public in case I need it.

The cup arrived a day sooner than expected in a flat bubble wrap mailer. It was delivered to my door rather than my mail box, but I'm sure it could have fit inside? I don't know why they did that? My neighbors are close enough to easily see I had a package... But I digress. As for the product itself, I love it. The color looks as I intended. It is a soft silicone material and the fresh teal blue I picked adds to the feeling of "fresh and sanitary" that I am looking for. At first, I opened the pixie cup and felt like the walls might be too flimsy to hold water? But the lip of the cup is hard and thick so it gives you something more firm to hold onto. It says the cup is microwavable? I think thats great, but I wanted REALLY hot water. I ran my Kuerig coffee machine through a cycle without coffee in it, dumped that, and then put my pixie cup underneath to fill with hot water. When it was done, I put one of my menstrual cups (I own 2 sckoon cups) inside for five minutes with the lid on. Then I took the lid off, picked the cup up very carefully (since it was still full of hot water) and dumped the water out and then left everything to air dry upside down on a paper towel. Having a product that can contain AND sanitize my menstrual cup in a way that is discreet is everything. The pixie cup is very versatile and withstands a lot of heat, so I feel confident that it will help me store my menstrual cup safely and confidently even when I am in a tight spot.

Great thing to have with you if you need to change your cup out in a public restroom!!

El producto en si es como se describe y funciona a la perfección. Es verdad que si tienes una copa muy grande, quizás no entre del todo bien, pero la mía encaja sin problemas. El único pero que le pongo es que el color del producto del anuncio es de un color y el que me ha llegado es otro muy distinto.

Its a nice little cup for storing and washing your menstrual cup.

Super pour une stérilisation rapide

I’ve used it for a couple of months now and I can say that it’s very convenient, a good method for safe and easy sterilisation and storage of the disc.

Best choice to travel and it's a smart and ecological purchase.
