With having PCOS, my periods can be horrible! I can't keep tampons in, my body pushes it out within an hour. So i usually resort to pads. They still feel like a diaper. And cramps can be strong! I have tried cups in the past, they are ok, but hard to try to get in. Plus I have still leaked. When I saw the disc's I was willing to try. I love how they stay in place! I can't feel it. I love that if it needs to release blood if I bare down while peeing. I wear a panty liner just in case, but 95% of the time, no bloody leaks. And my cramps are more bareable. Thank you Flex!
