Also it has been the cleanest and most odorless period. This was my first time using a cup - I was a bit nervous. I did experience mild spotting (so mild it didn't require a pad). Also, the "cup" lets you know it is full - or getting there, so even though it hadn't been the full 12 hours I changed my slim cup at 9 hours. Cleanest because this was the first period I didn't "leak" and none of the smelly tampon changes! The pull tab is what made me comfortable to finally try it, it felt similar to having a string and made it very easy to remove.

I also had far less cramping then normal.

I thought changing the cup would be "gross" but compared to the smell of changing a tampon I will take this any day.

I wish I knew about this sooner (like I'm actually looking forward to my next period).

I mainly wanted to try a menstrual cup to lower my plastic waste but was scared of the process of putting it on and removing it. Flex sold me on it's adjustable pull tab and it's claims of comfort. It is now month five of using the Flex cup and I'm so happy with my purchase. I got used to putting it on correctly by my second day using it and never feel it when it's on. You can leave it on for more hours than a tampon so it's less worry. So happy I can save money and not produce waste by not buying any period products for a long time. Definitely recommend.

Words cannot express how glad I am I finally tried this product. About 5 years ago, I tried a menstrual cup of a different brand and had a terrible experience. The thing got *stuck* in my vag. After HOURS of uncomfortable clawing and digging I finally got it out, and threw it right in the trash. The issue was that I couldn't get a grip on the stem to break the seal and pull it out.

Since that experience, I've just been using tampons with no issue. But, for some reason during my past couple periods I became sensitive and hyperaware of the tampons, and just wanted to pull them out all day. I decided to try the flex cup because I thought the loop would address the problem I had with the other brand, and it totally did. I was easily able to get ahold of the loop and pull, which automatically broke the seal for me. It was so easy. I'm still getting used to the insertion - it just feels different than what I'm used to with tampons - but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Flex totally converted me!

I really LOVE that I will NEVER have to buy tampons again. It did take a couple of cycles to really get the hang of it, but it really has become effortless and easy to use. I usually will go through a few super tampons during the work day, but now I am care free for a whole 12 hours. I also ride horses, and it has even passed that test with zero leaks. Never going back!

This is my 3rd day trying the flex cup,I have had a few leaks,but normally on the first 3 days my flow's so heavy ,I would wear 2 tampons at a time and have to change them every 45 min to an hour (super tampons)plus wearing a pad,I do like the cup alot ,but I think it's a bit too big an may purchase a smaller size.my shape is tilted up and very deep set .l will keep trying with it ,you can't feel it when it's in easy to clean and insert,and awesome for the environment!!
