I have been a menstrual cup user for years. Mostly because it’s more cost-effective. I dealt with shoving it up into my vaginal canal all folded up and crossing my fingers it would open up on its own. Sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn’t. When it wouldn’t, I would leak onto my underwear and pants and have to deal with the mess at work. Or I would have to shove my hand up there and circle around the cup to try and get it to open up. Talk about annoying. It also was uncomfortable and I felt like it made it harder for me to have a bowel movement. Maybe that is my own anatomical issue, but it wasn’t always reliable and certainly never enjoyable. I thought I would give the flex disc a try and it ROCKS. I can’t feel it at all, and have had no issues with it leaking so far. It’s so much easier to put in. I don’t have to worry about it opening up or suctioning. It just does its thing. The self emptying is also awesome because I don’t have to touch anything or take it out to empty it if I’m having a heavy period day—unlike the menstrual cup. I tried the single-use discs, but just bought a reusable one for my next period and am so excited to have something that’s finally reliable and cost-effective!
