Model: Nixit
Fit: “One size fits most” is marketing optimism. Took me a few tries, and a brief existential crisis, to get it in right. Once it’s there, you barely know it exists. Not uncomfortable—just... present, in a “you’re now aware of internal geography” kind of way.
Leaks: First attempt, yes—operator error. After that, no leaks, even on heavy days. If you follow instructions and don’t rush, it does its job.
Cleaning: Messy, unless you’re into forensic-level blood analysis. But it’s smooth silicone, so it rinses quick. Just expect to see more of yourself than you’d planned.
Overall Rating: 4/5
Would I recommend? If you’re tired of pads and cups and you like a challenge, yes. If the sight of blood makes you faint, maybe stick to what you know.
Pro tip: Trim your nails. If you ignore that, you’ll only do it once.
