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.

    Less Mess, Less Stress!

    At 52 and still getting a regular period, I cannot overstate how tired I was of dealing with tampons, still misjudging flow and dealing with occasional emergencies, messy sex... ugh. These discs have been life-changing. A little bit of a learning curve, but not difficult at all. I was traveling recently on the day I was expecting to start my period so I used a disc--no worries about panty liner failure or dealing with tampons on the plane. My partner and I are long-distance, so periods could be a big bummer on visits. We're both totally fine with period sex, but having to mitigate that mess and trying to avoid blood ending up everywhere you don't want it can definitely kill the mood. We have really tested the limits of the disc and I promise, it works great; it's so liberating! Hubby always defers to my comfort level around this issue and he LOVES that I can actually relax and enjoy the moment more now. I highly recommend trying Flex!

    Seriously life changing!!

    Flex discs are seriously revolutionary! Once you try these, you'll immediately buy more to give to all your girlfriends and buy a reusable one for yourself! I tried this product out about a year ago and i remember the day like it was yesterday- it was life changing. I seriously thought it was going to be such a learning curve and take me days maybe even months to perfect the technique- Nope! So incredibly easy I was mind blown! It really does just hook behind your pelvic bone- so fascinating how the female body is structured! I mean you seriously cannot feel a thing! My first thoughts going into it was- how am I going to get it out? What if it gets stuck? Well- after reading and learning all there is to know about the female body from this website alone- it's literally impossible for it to get stuck or lost! When you sit and bear down- you can feel it just right there- it's so easy to pull out! Seriously- such a revolutionary product and genuinely cannot express enough how amazing this product is!

    I hope if you are considering buying this product you see this and try it out! You are bound to be impressed! Seriously- it's life changing. I weirdly look forward to my periods now because of this product!

    GAMECHANGER X100

    Wow! There’s nothing there, but there is and it is capturing everything! I had to use the cup for a few years, but there was pressure. The disc is a game changer for comfort & cleanliness #nevergoingback #tellyourfriends!

    I’m in love with these

    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!!

    Game Changer

    This product seriously changed my life! I used to have DEBILITATING cramps on my period.. maybe not every cycle but every other cycle I would spend at least one day, if not two or three days barely able to get out of bed. I would have cramps so bad that I almost passed out one time! The type of pain where you are literally closing your eyes and squeezing your fist to bare the pain... I tried taking Ibuprofen, drinking ginger tea, I even started taking birth control to try to help the cramps, and nothing helped. And then, I tried the Flex menstrual disc and just like *that*, my cramps just about disappeared! I don't really understand how, but I am so grateful! Now I can pretty much carry on like normal during my period. The pain is just a whisper in the background of my life, no longer shouting in my face! TYSM FLEX !!!! <333333
