Answering your period questions because nobody taught us this in school.

1 Flex Disc = 12 hours of leak protection! Longer than what 1 tampon can do and often more comfortable too, because our period disc sits a little higher in your body where there are less nerve endings.

BUT we know trying something new can be scary, so here are our best tips.

How to use your Flex Disc.

1. Pinch your disc in half (like a taco).
2. Insert your disc down and back as far as you can.
3. Tuck the disc’s rim behind your pubic bone. That’s it.

How to remove your Flex Disc.

1. Hook your middle or pointer finger under the rim.
2. Gently remove your period disc, keeping it level.
3. Empty the contents into the toilet and you’re done.

Tips if you’re experiencing leaking.

1. Check if the disc is as far back as it can go.
2. Check if the disc is secured behind your pubic bone.
3. Try it at home first.
4. Wear a liner until you can confirm you can go the full 12 hours.
5. Practice inserting and removing Flex Disc when you’re not on your period.

There are 3 holes. One for pee. One for poop. One for your Flex Disc. They don’t share.

Our disc has been designed for 12 wear with 12 hour leak protection, so that you can have the freedom you deserve throughout your day. The long wear time + our self-emptying feature makes our period disc great for those with heavy periods.

Got messy removal fear? Real. But, also preventable. Try these tips.

Keep the disc level during removal
Try removing during your morning or evening shower
Use our disposable pouches

Finally, self-emptying 101!

When your pelvic floor naturally relaxes on the toilet, our period disc tips just enough to release your period flow into the toilet without needing to take it out. Just do a kegel to squeeze the disc back into place or use your middle finger to re-tuck the disc back behind your pubic bone. Because our disc self-empties, this means you’re never really walking around with a full disc. It also helps make removal easier and reduces the possibility of mess.

97% of Flex Disc users don’t feel it while wearing it and your anatomy is a big reason why.

Flex Disc sits higher up than a tampon, in a spot called the v*g*nal fornix. Because the fornix has fewer nerve endings than the rest of the v*g*nal canal, most people feel absolutely nothing while wearing Flex Disc. That’s not magic that’s just your body.

If you’ve ever leaked with a period disc, it likely didn’t make it far enough back to reach the fornix. The fix: angle the disc down and back toward your tailbone as you insert (not straight up) and go as far back as you can. It’s a dead end, so it can’t get lost. Promise!

New to menstrual discs? You can try Flex Disc for the first time with your OBGYN (Flex Disc is safe to use on or off your period). And our Flexperts are always here for every question in between.

How would you describe us?

Apr 28

Open post by flex with ID 18064195793386994

Nobody talks about what tampon removal actually feels like.

A fully soaked, expanded tampon versus a Flex Disc that moves with your body, the difference is something you have to experience to believe.

Not to mention you only have to change out our period disc twice every 24 hours. That’s it. Not every 4 hours. Not every 2 hours. With Flex Disc you get 12-hour leak protection.

We’re female-founded and clearly actually using the products we make.
