“Flex was designed to solve many of the problems caused by traditional menstrual products. It doesn't change the vaginal flora reducing the risk of infections and has not been linked to toxic shock syndrome."

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.

Pour the liquid into the toilet, and wrap the disc in toilet paper (or a Flex Eco Disposal Pouch) before tossing it in the trash.

    First impression has been amazing!

    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.

    Not giving up yet

    Having to readjust by pushing the disc back behind the public bone after using the toilet caused a big mess every time. Also still trying to get placement exactly right because I did have some light to medium leakage with changing positions. Maybe this will suit me best on lighter days but I hope to make it work on the heavy ones too.

    I was hesitant… but just try it!!!

    I have used tampons most of my life, and I wanted to try a different option. I wanted something that I could easily throw away after use and something I didn’t have to wonder how many hours I have left till I need a fresh tampon. I have two kids so I wanted something easy and to be able to wear for more than 8 hours. I use the menstrual disk that is disposable. Talk about a life saver! It’s easy to use, comfortable, and lasts for 12 hours. I won’t go back to tampons!

    Great with negatives I can overcome

    First I think this is a great product because it is easy to use, can be inserted all day, “auto” empties when you pee, and doesn’t leak. If you can make the following work for yourself I think you would love it too… 1. Where a panty liner because it “auto empties” we you go to the bathroom, so residual blood can be there after wiping, 2. It is messy to remove so making sure you can remove it somewhere that you can wash your hands potentially before pulling up your pants is a must (no one wants blood on their clothes), 3. There is an slightly uncomfortable pressure when you remove the disc unless you can pinch it together (like how you insert it), it’s not terrible just not ideal

    Love it!

    Been using it for a year and love it. Very comfortable! My only complaint is I wish they came in different colors! Even if they came in black. The whitish color they have for the reusable one turns yellow after you use it a few times. With a different color it would be less noticeable. But the actual product is amazing!
