I love the Flex Discs! I've gone from tampons, to the a menstrual cup, to the Flex Disc and I'm never going back! I started my reusable menstrual item journey after having my third child. Honestly, I was tired of buying tampons and pads and worrying about leaking, or forgetting to remove the tampon. I tried a cup first, and it was OK, at best. I decided to try the Flex Disc and whoa, it was a show stopper. Not only could I not feel it after putting it in, I stopped having leaks all together! The cup requires a 'seal' and you need to empty it every so often (even though they claim it's good for up to 12 hours), which can be a hassle if you're in public with no access to a sink or other sanity products, but the Disc? Game changer. It is self-emptying, so anytime you go to the bathroom (not just sitting, I promise it doesn’t leak when you sit), it empties a bit, which is so nice and prolongs the time you can wear it without worrying you're going to have a mess.

It's also nice because you can have sex with it in. It doesn't leak during the deed and you can't feel it. My partner has told me he could feel it, but I have tested it where I didn't tell him I was wearing it and he didn't notice so I think it's all in his head.

All in all, I hate having periods, but this product just makes it a little bit easier!

I am someone who has never used any internal products. Never used a tampon or cup in my life. For over a decade it’s been strictly pads for me. I decided to be brave and try the Flex discs because I am so tired of not being able to comfortably swim or be intimate on my period. And also, as a lifetime pad user even I can admit they get really uncomfortable, really fast. Not to be dramatic, but the Flex discs changed my life. Once it is in you cannot feel it AT ALL, you honestly forget you’re on your period. The process of getting it in and taking it out is easy if you’re comfortable with your body (though I am still trying to find a way to make the removal less messy). I took a break from the disc and put on a pad for a day, and it was awful. The familiar but unpleasant wet and irritating sensation was giving me the ick, and I had awful cramps that were not present at all with the disc in. I will never go back. If you’re nervous to try, please just give it a shot. You won’t regret it. If I can do it, so can you.
