Moral of the story, get yourself a Flex Disc from @walmart if you want a non-toxic option that offers long, up to 12 hour leak protection, by a female-founded company.

But like also, drop your dating advice.

“i want to try a cup but i don’t know how” Don’t worry, we got you!

The Flex Cup sits in the same spot as a tampon, so if you’ve used those, you’re already halfway there. Trying anything new can take time and a bit of patience, but it can also lead to some of the best finds. Like our period cup, a non-toxic, beginner-friendly period product that gives you 12 hours of leak protection — you don’t even have to remove it to pee or poop.

One of our top tips:
If it feels uncomfortable or you notice any spotting, the cup probably didn’t fully expand. Try slightly rotating the cup or pressing gently against your inner walls to help it open up. Experiment and let us know how we can help you have the most comfortable period of your life.

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.
