These genuinely make me feel like I’m not on my period. It maybe took me 2-3 cycles to get the hang of using them, but now that I’ve perfected it I will never go back to anything else. I always would leak in tampons despite never filling them up, I tried a cup but I couldn’t figure out how to get it in, and pads are just gross. But these literally fold smaller than a finger and all I have to do is push it in. They literally stay in for 12 hours and I have no leaks, no cramps, and allow me to go about my day like I’m not even on my period. These have changed my life and I recommend every menstruater tries them!!

I’ve never had great luck w period products. Not a big fan of pads, tampons kinda hurt (especially dry ugh) but I decided to give the disc a go. A lot of people go through many before they find a good one. But this was the first and only one I purchased and I can say 100% that it is the best decision I ever made! I recommend it to everyone I know. You don’t feel it in there, it’s virtually painless (other than a minor discomfort while pulling it out sometimes but that’s expected). Also really recommend if you have a high cervix, its quite easy to remove and insert, and it fit for me perfectly. All bodies are different and keep searching till you find what works for you! But, all in all it was definitely a great decision and I 100% recommend.

It empties itself. I can literally leave it in all day. I take it out when I shower, clean it and pop it right back in. Sleep, exercise, swimming, and sex no problem. My husband can feel it a little bit but it’s not a big issue. You also don’t have to hold any strings away while you use the restroom like you would a tampon. I cannot begin to describe that I barely feel it and often forget I’m on my period completely. Accessible to insert and remove with one hand; I was able to use it even after I had surgery on my dominant hand, that’s how easy it is. I’ve had mine almost 2 years and it literally makes me hate my period less. Everyone should have one of these.

TWO WORDS FOR YOU:

self-emptying.

Once upon a time I was a cup girl. Though my wallet and the planet were happy with this sustainable choice, I often found that my cup was full after just a few short hours, and I would have to empty it often— which is fine, but also tough to do in the bathroom at the airport or the Whole Foods or the concert venue, but hey, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

Then, one day, one of my dear friends told me about this “self-emptying, reusable disc”. “Self-emptying???” I exclaimed. “Meaning, no more taking it out in the bathroom stall at the grocery store and discreetly washing the blood off your hands? No more quiet wrestling to keep your snow pants blood-free in the bathroom at the ski resort? No more panicking in the outhouse at the park? It just… empties itself??” It seemed too good to be true.

But… is it?

Is it too good to be true, or is it just the period product that a woman would design for women?

I tried the disposable disc for one day, and I was hooked. It was truly like magic— you pee, the disc empties itself, pops back into place, and you get on with your day. No more overflowing, no searching the bottom of the purse for a tampon, no more emptying a cup in a public restroom in the middle of the day. Just clean it twice a day when it’s convenient for you.

My advice? Buy a disc and go enjoy being a girl.

This is my first day using flex disc. I don’t often write reviews but it’s such a game changer for me I am willing to. I have crazy heavy flow days 1+2. I was skeptical of how this would work especially the “auto dump” - made no sense to me. Surprisingly it all works as advertised. It’s so easy to put in, and it truly does empty when you follow per instructions. Not entirely sure how it stays sealed then breaks the seal then goes back, but it really does work with my anatomy. I did wear a pad and I did leak slightly at one point (I think it got too full). It is a little messy but still cleaner than a menstrual cup. Much more comfortable and easy to install than a cup, and much better than constantly changing pads or tampons.

I Jane her to see how it does overnight. I do have a great I could accidentally auto release when I don’t mean to, and that would not go well. But so far throughout my busy day it stayed sealed all the times it was supposed to. This will end up saving me so much money, discomfort, and headache.
