First time using. I got the full sized cup because of my heavy flow, Im still a little creeped out about the mess trying to make sure its internally opened. I dont really like that feeling around all up in there like that as I’m prone to infections. And of course during this covid-19 pandemic, gloves are hard to get since it’s in such high demand and they’re always sold out! But, Im thinking I should have started off with the slim fit cup first! The full cup is so huge & bulky! I think I will purchase the slim fit cup & just change more frequently. But I noticed that when I turn on my side at night while sleeping, it leaks! I make sure the cup is opened but it leaks while I'm laying down on my side. Maybe, I’m doing it wrong? But once Im up or sitting up its fine! No leaks! I can’t really feel it once it’s in tho which is cool. Its just gonna take some getting use to. Im not gonna give up on it just yet. I still have hope. Lol. I’ll update once I’ve tried the slim fit cup next time.

So happy I found flex cup. I’ve had an IUD for 15 yrs and since I knew I was done having kids I got my tubes in which resulted in me having my period again. Before my IUD I was a tampon user. But this time around my experience with using tampons was different. I noticed I would get these shooting pains and just self diagnose that it might be toxic shock so I switch to pads and the pain went away but pads broke me out in between my legs, the reason why I used tampons in the first place. Me and a friend were having a conversation about menstrual cups and trying it out. After doing some research I decided to use the flex cup purely off the pull tab design that other cups didn’t have. I wished I had discovered flex cup in my teenage years it’s a life saver. No more sleeping on my stomach so I don’t mess up my sheets, checking a tampon or pad every few hours so I don’t leak, gone are the days of not wanting to change in the not so nicely clean public bathrooms when you’re out, and no more making sure I’m heavily secured at work with pads and tampons because I can’t always break away to check like I should. I work my entire shift with no problems and I sleep at night with no worries.

I have had issues for quite some time with my menstrual cycle and always had leaks, cramps and heavy bleeding. I was scared to try the cup, but am so glad I did! I did try the Flex Disc but didn't work as well for me as this. This was the easiest cycle I've ever had and found it so convenient while traveling. Highly suggest the full size of the cup for heavy periods because it's just like a tampon! I didn't feel it unless I coughed and maybe moved a little, or while on the toilet; best product ever.

Just put it in for the first time and had no issues at all with insertion. There are lots of written and visual guides on this site and elsewhere if you do happen to struggle with insertion. Also, the pull-ring is revolutionary and really sets the flexcup apart from other menstrual cups. So, if you’re considering other brands, then, well, don’t! Lol. Plus, this is somehow one of the cheaper cup options out there.

Additionally, I first got the larger size because I have heavy flows but found this size to be too big for my vagina. Thankfully, FLEX has AMAZING customer service who sent me my new, smaller cup free of charge and straight away.

All in all, uniquely great product and company—all for a good price!

This is the first menstrual cup I ever tried, and I love it so much I would never go back to pads or tampons. Before, I was always having to guess if my flow would be heavy enough to use a tampon, because it is SO uncomfortable having to pull one out dry. The silicone of the flex cup slides out easily, even if you put it in on a day with no flow. I never feel it inside me, and I love that I can go 12 hrs before needing to empty it (can avoid public bathrooms and just do it at home before/after sleeping). Also the pull ring is a life saver when the cup rides up and the stem is slippery! I've never had an issue with removal.
