❝My first cup purchase was the Athena cup, which is very firm. It worried me that the Pixie cup would be too thin and be hard to open up, but it's the perfect firmness. Even though the Athena cup wasn't uncomfortable, the Pixie added more comfortableness. I wanted to switch cups because the Pixie has the ball at the end to pull out and I was annoyed with the Athena since the stem only has grips on the side. The ball on the stem made my life so much easier, btw it's not annoying and I don't feel it at all. I have to say sometimes I'm paranoid that when I pull the ball/stem that I'm stretching it too much and it'll snap since the ball is separate from the stem. Overall, the firmness is perfect, it's more comfortable than the ultra-stiff cups, but it still pops open easily. This was also the first time using a cup larger than standard, and it's very easy to put in and take out.❞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
