Pixie Cup
Buy One, Give One Period Cup. We're here to meet all your period needs. Helping to Empower Others, Give Back, and Live Free since 2016.
How did we get our start?
After traveling the world and witnessing the devastating effects of period poverty firsthand, Amber, along with her brother Benjamin, started Pixie Cup with the goal of putting a menstrual cup in the hands of every woman in need.
Why do we give back?
We find our inspiration from Acts 20:35: “…It is more blessed to give than to receive.” This verse is inscribed on the inside of our cups as a reminder of the Pixie Cup that was gifted to someone in need. When you invest in a Pixie Cup, you invest in period freedom for yourself + one.
Women spend around 2-3 months every year on their period. We're here to make those 60-90 days feel like your best days, with nothing holding you back. Pixie Cup offers a variety of menstrual cups and period products designed to empower women to live in freedom every day of the year. Whether you love hiking, swimming, or prefer Netflix-style marathons, we've got you covered.
Buy One, Give One. When you buy a cup from us, you change a life forever.
What makes our products unique?
Besides our Buy One Give One Program, our recyclable packaging and sustainable, reusable products made from organic materials allow you to feel good about every purchase.
Why do we love what we do?
Girls in developing countries face many difficulties because they don't have access to period products. In the US, 1 in 5 women struggle to afford menstrual products. We get to help empower every woman in the world with the resources to manage her period with dignity.

Care For You. Tampons can leave behind traces of contaminated material and fibers, resulting in a risk of contracting TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). It holds fluid, but does not absorb like a tampon does, virtually eliminating the risk of TSS. Pixie Cups are made of medical-grade silicone, hypoallergenic and are free of BPA, latex and dioxins.
Convenient. Ever stand in the feminine hygiene aisle guessing what absorbency you’ll need for your period? Those days are over. Pixie Cups hold 3-4 tampons worth of fluid and you can safely wear a Pixie Cup for up to 12 hours without having to change it. No need to stuff tampons in your glove box or a pad in your purse anymore. If taken care of properly, a Pixie Cup will last up to 10 YEARS.. Once you experience period freedom, there is no going back.
BUY ONE, GIVE ONE. Every time you purchase a Pixie Cup, a cup is donated to a woman in need. We’ve donated 274,000+ Pixie Cups so far!

Title: Buy it.
Review: This is a game changer. I donât know why I havenât bought this sooner. I have been saving so much money since I bought this kit, and my menstrual cycles are even better than before. I have endometriosis and tend to have the worst menstrual cycles to where Iâm bleeding so much that I could pass out. I had to consistently buy pads and tampons to keep up with the excessive bleeding, and it was starting to become very expensive with the prices and how often I had to buy more. Just like any woman, I hated the feeling that I was on my period because of how uncomfortable it feels. when you use these menstrual cups they make you forget you are literally on your period until itâs time to clean it. This company literally provides how to videos and guides on how to insert the cup, how to know your menstrual cup size, and how to properly clean the cup. The kit itself comes with lubricant, soaps, and cute travel bags to put your menstrual stuff in. I will say it does get a little messy at the beginning because youâre trying to get the hang of it but once youâve gotten it, it is a smooth breeze and very convenient. Be careful if you have nails because you can scratch yourself when trying to either put it in or take it out but overall itâs pretty easy. if the stem of the menstrual cup is irritating your lady parts I recommend cutting it. It makes it a lot easier and they have lines on the stem on where to trim and still make it easy to take out. The websites and guides are very informational and helpful, especially for new beginners who want to try to have a comfortable experience when on their period and they provide a lot of really cool accessories and products for the menstrual cup itself. I recommend wearing menstrual underwear when using these just to still be safe with leaks. The menstrual cup can leak if the cup is overflowed, put in incorrectly, or isnât the correct size. Please review this brandâs guides and information they seriously help and give it a more easier experience. If you have a teen, I highly recommend getting this for them as well because they do make teen kits and could also help save your pockets too when bleeding x2.

Title: At last a cup that works for me 🙂
Review: I've been using the cup since 2019. I started using it after having my second kid. At the time, I bought a large cup from a different brand (thinking that after 2 births it would be more spacey down there). I started using it and it was all good at first, but after a while, I started experiencing leakages and the cup being pushed out when I went to the bathroom or after eating(!), which was very strage for me. I always blamed it on me for not inserting it right. Fast forwarding to present times, I had a 3rd kid and recently got my period again. So I went back to the cup after 20 something-months of being period-free and I started having the same problems from before: leakages, cup falling out, feeling the stem all the time, and general messiness. At some point I started thinking: it cannot be possible that every single time I use it, I insert it wrong!, and started wondering if I had the right cup for me. Hence, I did my research and figured that there was a really high chance I was using the wrong size. I bought the Pixie kit so I could get 2 different cup sizes and started using the small cup. Ever since it's been wonderful! not one leak!!! You cannot imagine the difference it makes for me! after years of having messy periods. I could not be happier! The cup feels very comfortable. The small one can last for the whole day without the need to take it out (depending on how heavy is your flow). I like the pouch it came with so I can keep all my sanitary products there, and also like the soap, which is very gentle. I haven't used the lubricant yet, as the cup goes in pretty smoothly. As for the sterilizing cup, it works great and the cup fits perfectly! (the previous one I bought was also a bit small and the cup didn't quite fit), so I'm very happy with having decided to try another cup...I was on the brink of giving up on it!As a last general recommendation, do make sure you have the right cup size!!! It really makes a difference!

Title: Worth every cent
Review: I received this just in time for my cycle starting and was able to jump right into attempting to learn this (new to me) product and I LOVE IT. For the first time use of this product as someone who hasnât given birth and has a regular to heavy flow early on and into a regular to mild flow halfway through my cycle the yellow cup in the tangerine package is perfect. The learning curve of insertion wasnât anywhere near as daunting as using a tampon for the first time. Only three days to figure out a perfect seal without leakage was all it took. The wipes are perfect for public use and the gel wash is great. I cannot thank this brand enough for how accessible information on use was for me as well. Great customer service, great fit, comfortable and no need to cut the stem either which I loved. Taking it out was scarier than anything but the instruction book is well detailed to help you through any trouble shooting you might have. Oh and they werenât lying about a 12 hour wear.

Review: Iâve been using mensural cups for about 4 years now! I made the switch because I was having trouble with tampons making me sore and itchy and Iâve never really been a fan of sanitary pads as they make me feel like Iâm wearing a nappy! I can honestly say itâs the best thing I ever did. Not only has it improved my comfort, itâs also saved me a bunch of money!! Once you get the hang of inserting the cup itâs becomes so easy to use!I have been using a menstrual cup I got from a drugstore and thought it was time for an upgrade. I bought the pixie cup starter kit because I really wanted all the essentials and I must say the set is perfect. The 2 cups of different sizes are great because I can change them depending on how heavy my flow is and the sterilising container is so handy and discreet! I havenât needed to use the lube but itâs a great thing to have especially if youâre starting out. The set also comes with a wash and tonnes of handy wipes!Overall this is a great starter kit and just a great kit in general for anyone using or wanting to switch to a mensural cup

Review: This starter pack had everything I needed to make the switch from disposables to using a cup. The 2 different sizes were good to try, package came with good instructions.

Review: I brought this kit alongside the steriliser so that I could make the switch to sustainable menstrual products and it contains everything I needed to make the transition. I was really impressed that it came with a full sized lubricant and cup cleaner (I anticipated that they would be smaller travel sizes) and it also came with 25 wipes which is basically a full pack. Having the two cups was also very useful as theyâre different sizes and then you can have two on the go at a time meaning that they can be properly cleaned and sterilised in between uses. I personally didnât want to use the microwaveable steriliser, so as I mentioned I brought the pixie cup steamer/steriliser separately. The cups themselves are amazing quality, theyâre very soft so theyâre easy to insert and once in they canât be felt. It took me a couple of tries to insert it properly but I quickly got the hang of it. The only advice Iâd give to people looking to use menstrual cups is to buy some interdental brushes to clean the air holes. Would 100% recommend this product to anyone!

Review: I absolutely love using the cup and could not fault this product at all. It honestly didnât even feel like i was having a period, i used to use pads which could irritate the skin after a few days, feel like you have a nappy on or even smell sometimes but you have none of that with the cup! The Pixie Cup Stater kit has been a perfect product for transferring to the Cup, it has everything you need in there. I know £45-£50 may seem like a lot to fork out just for your periods but think long term, these last years, you wont have to buy pads/tampons and are soo much better for the environment! I donât work for Pixie Cupâs company haha, may seem like it since i am pretty much trying to sell you the product, itâs just that i have loved it so much, i would recommend it to every woman.

Review: I AM IN LOVE WITH PIXIE CUPS! Since having my daughter using tampons are really uncomfortable and sometimes painful to take out. But pixie cup has change how I feel about my period! They are so comfortable and so easy to use! If you have any questions they are so helpful you can literally just message them on Instagram. I struggled with the classic and they sent me the luxe free of charge!! Which works like a dream! I think this is because Iâm petite ð¤·ð¼ââï¸ However I absolutely love the products! The kit comes with everything you need to keep your cup clean and also a lubricant if needed! But Iâve found with the luxe I donât need. Highly recommend to everyone I talk to about pixie cups! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!
