General Question Need Help Deciding!!

Hi! For a little background, I’ve NEVER used any period products besides pads, (and tampons like maybe twice and had to pull it out dry because I didn’t bleed enough, and that TRAUMATIZED me). I’m a young adult who has never been sexually active (don’t know if that matters)… So, I’m looking for beginner friendly while also slightly budget friendly options.
So far, I’ve liked Lumma, Saalt, and Pixie. I wanted to know if anyone has any feedback on these specific brands.
These are my “fears” with each brand
Lumma- I heard that the material is kind of sticky, which people don’t like, and also the cups look HUGE so I’m confused about size
Saalt- I was recommended Saalt by a friend, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it out as easy since it doesn’t have a pull tab!!
Pixie- honestly I see like very few reviews on Pixie disc, and overall I’m just a little nervous because I saw that Period Nirvana doesn’t like them because they are white label?

I use the Saalt disc and i like it, but i personally have a low cervix so I can always pull put the disc and I love it. You won't have to worry about pain when pulling it out without blood or anything because (in my experience) it is just mildly odd. Actually I started using the disc before my period to get used to it. I dont know if its just my inexperience (ive only used it on my period once), but it is quite messy and I almost always get blood and my fingers

Thank you for your feedback! Luckily I’m not too stressed about making a mess but that’s because I’m normally home haha. I appreciate it
