I've never left a review before, but felt like it's important for anyone interested in this type of product.
I am a person who loathed periods so much and had such bad cramping that I chose a variety of depression-inducing bc for years rather than put up with a very short cycle. I loved being able to not worry about spotting, esp as an active athlete, but finally made the decision to stop bc as it was destroying my mood. I took a chance with Flex cup as my first alternative to tampons and genuinely can't believe how good it is. The first day I was expecting awkwardness putting it in, pain, bulkiness, anything- but it was like not having anything there like advertised. I exercised and stretched like normal, and found it helped with internal cramping. I'm so happy this exists, it also saves on so much waste and generally makes me feel comfortable and at peace again. Definitely try this if you're on the fence.
