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.

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.

    REALLY MESS-FREE during sex

    I've been using these for the last three months and I was already very happy. It wasn't until my last period that I got to test them during sex, I was skeptical but I ended up super impressed, they are really mess-free! It was super comfortable as well, as if wasn't on my period at all. You can tell these were designed by a woman, amazing, thank you!

    Can’t wait to try

    Giving 5 stars before I’ve even tried it because all the 1 star reviews are from people who haven’t tried the product and only hate the ads because they are uneducated and hold toxic viewpoints on the natural events that happen to women’s bodies.

    Yes, some people can and do enjoy sex on their period

    Yes, you can actually put your fingers into your vagina

    Yes, you can actually exit or skip an ad you don’t want to have to see

    Yes, women have periods and no it is not disgusting or evil or dirty that we menstruate

    So thank you for making an insightful and informative advertisement and creating a product to help us through a natural but uncomfortable time

    Genuinely surprised and won’t go back

    Got these with the expectation I’d have “mostly” mess free period sex, used them on day 1 and 2 with zero mess at all, almost spooky! I typically use a cup but now I am interested in trying the reusable disc! Will keep the single use one with me though.

    Id give it 10/10 for sex, 10/10 comfort 9/10 for insertion (much easier than cup, no learning curve really), 6/10 for removal only since it was my first times and I couldn’t figure out how to not spill blood everywhere lol and it felt like it was so far up!! Still worth it, just will figure out a technique that works best for me :)

    Perfect

    I use this for overnights and genuinely super suprised at how easy it was to put in. love that i dont have to wakeup to change it. I will say I tried a menstural cup and it was wayyy to hard to put in but this was easy and breezy.

    WHERE HAVE THESE BEEN ALL MY LIFE??!

    Seriously-- I want to shout this from the rooftops, I want every menstruating woman I know to know just how much better these things make life!! Literally, life changing. I hate tampons-- they dry me out, they shift around, I HATE the string, the list goes on. I've tried other cups and have found them to be uncomfortable, equally as shifty as tampons, leaky, and messy to remove and reinsert. Not these babies!! SO easy to insert, easy (and NOT messy, how???!!!) to remove, and I don't know by what sorcery they are helping with my cramps but so far I'm on ZERO period-related medications (I'm usually 2-3 doses of ibuprofen/acetaminophen in by now!). THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Upgrading to the reusable disc and stashing disposable disks in my toiletry bag/gym bag/first aid kit/etc. immediately.
