Flex Disc sits somewhere different

Flex menstrual disc insertion diagram

Unlike other period products that sit in the vaginal canal, Flex Disc sits in the vaginal fornix. Plus, Flex Disc collects fluid rather than absorbing it like a tampon.

HOW IT WORKS

A helpful guide to Flex Disc insertion, wear & removal.

PINCH

Flex Disc may look big but it’s actually smaller than a tampon when inserted. Start by washing your hands and pinch it in half.

INSERT

Use a clean finger to push the disc back and down toward the cervix, then tuck it up and behind the pubic bone.

WEAR

Once the disc is in place, you should be comfortable and unable to feel it. You can wear it safely for up to 12 hours.

REMOVE

To remove, hook a clean finger under the rim of the disc and pull straight out. Keep it parallel to the floor to avoid spillage.

DISPOSE

Slip your hand inside a removal pouch like a glove prior to pulling out your disc as usual. The pouch flips inside out around the used disc, locking everything within. All the mess stays contained, keeping your skin, toilet seat, and the floor mess-free. Just seal up the pouch and toss it in the trash.

    Never using tampons again

    I have been using Flex Discs going on 2 years now. I will absolutely never go back to tampons. I have had to use them when I am in a bind or start my period without being prepared and have had to get one from a friend, and I get irrationally mad every time.

    I have a system down with my discs when I need to change them, and overall I feel so much more sanitary then when using tampons. They also work great when I am on my period during jiu jitsu, I never feel like I have to check whether or not I am bleeding through any of my gear during training.

    I recommend Flex to ALL of my girlfriends, they really are life changing.

    Life Changing

    When I stopped using standard period products and switched over to a mensal cup, and didn't like the fit or fell.

    Desperately, I then tried the disc, it was like a light switch flipped in my head. No dry tampon pulls, no wet pad "diaper rashes", just clean insertion, keeping me well maintained throughout anything my day has in store, PLUS a clean removal , truly making my periods slightly less dreadful to look forward to

    I recommend it to literally every women who will let me talk about it.

    I cant recommend it enough.

    Thanks to the founder!

    Dear Lauren,

    I wanted to personally thank you for your innovative approach to menstrual care! Your invention has truly changed lives and I personally thank you for transforming Gynecologic care in this country. My hope is that it will reach worldwide to women on all continents & your vision will translate internationally. I only wish this would’ve been available to me during my high school and collegiate years. I am now 52 and perimenopausal, but have enjoyed your products during my “transition” years.

    I have recommended FLEX to several of my girlfriends whose daughters are starting their periods and they too love the products!

    I would love to support your company if ever you want to extend any philanthropic pursuits in Africa or Asia to support our sisters “across the pond”.

    Gratefully,

    Andrea Parde M.D.

    Actually Does What It Claims!

    I bought this product solely because it claims to work for mess-free period sex. My boyfriend and I were a little skeptical that it would stay in place and be comfortable. I’m happy to say it worked perfectly! It didn’t move out of place or feel weird at all and we tested it thoroughly. I didn’t even need to think or worry about it! I am about to buy the reusable one because for the price it is definitely worth it and I also try to be as sustainable as I can with period products.

    I wore white pants on my second day

    I love flex discs!!! I am someone who has a small pelvic floor and the cup is just too much for me. I have tried the discs and I am NEVER going back to tampons!!!! I can leave them in for a long period of time without worrying about leaking. They are so comfortable and reduce my cramping and bloating. I don’t even realize I’m on my period anymore. Serious life savers.
