Flex Reusable Disc Reusable Menstrual Disc Tampon Pad and Cup Alternative Capacity of 6 Super Tampons Lasts for

Alrighty, it is very rare for me to write a review for products, but this warranted one. For years I've heard about different menstrual disc/cup options, but was too intimidated to try something new....which is ironic given I've been having sex for the last 16 years so clearly I'm not opposed to *items* in my vagina haha but these silicone things were scary! I finally took the leap after forgetting a tampon a few months ago and getting a yucky yeast infection. I landed on this product due to the high reviews and figured why not (I also appreciated the marketing video and felt like these people are more my speed haha). After hyping myself up, it was shockingly easy to insert/position. Took less than 5 seconds. I couldn't believe how easy and comfortable it was! No leaks and easy to take out, empty, and reinsert. The only cautionary warning I do have .... is to be very mindful of your position when sneezing .... I did accidentally break the seal when I was kneeling on the ground and sneezed (to be fair, the same did happen to me when using tampons sooo clearly I'm a slow learner)...that did get messy, but I take responsibility for that one! Other than that, this has been wonderful thus far and I'm looking forward tampon free periods! My only regret is not taking the leap sooner! Read more

Incredible. I tried a cup once and it was a nightmare. It scared me off for a long time. I decided to try the disposable discs after a moment of reconsideration and it was fantastic. It went so well I bought the reusable one and it's my first cycle with it, I'm sold. I have severe cramps, and I have noticed a massive difference with these. I still get them, particularly bad on day one, but when I used tamps I would cramp full time all week. With these, I almost didn't have any. I felt day one, and the rest of the time it was a rare ache here and there. Some days nothing at all. I love that I can sleep with them. I barely leaked overnight on my heaviest day (I normally do with tamps, even the extra supers, and I have to set alarms to change them because even with overnight pads I've had mishaps). I only needed a panty liner for that one night! One thing though, I could auto dump with the disposable option. I also had a few leaks with the disposables, on my heaviest day. With this reusable option, I cannot seem to auto dump. It's said that's because with the size and composition it's a better fit for my body. That's fine, I can deal with that. But it's a little disappointing because I enjoyed the auto dump spring my heaviest days when I didn't want to need longer breaks at work or on the go to handle that. I have decided to use disposables during that time instead so I could utilize that, but the rest of my period the reusable is great. Now about placement. I am in my late 30s, one delivery by c section. I watched multiple videos online and was nervous about getting it right and getting it out. I found it totally easy to get it in and tucked my first try. It was totally comfortable, didn't feel it at all. The disposable ones tend to slip on me while using the restroom and need to be readjusted, but this reusable one doesn't do that. Removing it was a bit of a learning curve. The disposable ones were easier to remove for me, the thinner lining and more pronounced edge made quick work of hooking my finger under it and pulling it out. This one's more flush and rounded and the material made it a little more difficult to do that. I had a mess my first attempt, and I was glad I tried that at home where the sink is nearby and I had plenty of clean up options. The second time, I tried to move more slowly and get the feel for it, but it fell in the toilet. I never had that happen with the disposable ones and it was pretty annoying and gross. I was not at home for that situation, it was a public restroom, so I just had to let that one go. Thankfully I bought multiples, which I HIGHLY suggest for just that situation. But after that I have seemed to have figured it out and no longer having any difficulty with it. Read more

This is the only menstrual cup I’ll buy! The material is quality—cleans easy and doesn’t stain or develop smells. It is simple to insert and easy to remove. I wear it for 12-hours at a time during my period, and it’s so comfortable that I never notice it! It’s also easy to empty when you use the bathroom. Great product! Read more

I’ve used menstrual cups before and could never get them to work properly without leaking and had the hardest time with removal. The flex disc is PERFECT. Easy insert, no leaks, and holds a lot. No pain or discomfort. I love that it self empties too, I’ll use the auto empty during the day and then manually empty / clean it in the shower. It’s much easier to remove than the diva cup, but it still takes a second. Overall very pleased! Read more

I recently found out I have fibroids. I bleed heavy and go through the biggest tampon in about an hour. This gives me much more time to not worry. Every couple of hours I go to the restroom to auto dump it, so if you push and kegel a couple times, it will empty all the way without having to take it out. I previously tried cups which I could feel and they were harder to get into position since I have a low lying cervix as well. They barely fit my body and are much messier than discs, especially when out in public because you have to remove them. (These also hold more) The auto dump is amazing but make sure it's notched back into place after doing so. While you don't have to take it out for your cycle at all, I usually remove, wash with gentle fem soap and reinsert daily while in the shower. Removal and insertion is easy to me now. I don't get any irritation from it. No reduction in cramps but I'm sure that's my fibroids fault. I'm glad that I've switched! I will never look back. I think the best part is no worry of tss, no having to remove it, not feeling it and how much it holds. My only qualm was when I first got it, I was so paranoid that I wasn't using it properly and that it would leak even when I had it in right. Being used to 20 plus years of tampons Def had me on a learning curve with these. I can't blame the flex for that. Just took a little bit for me to get used to using. I do have leaks on occasion still due to severe, heavy bleeding but it's always on my heaviest day while I'm sleeping for extended periods. I've had much less incidents after switching and HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Read more
