Just used my flex cup for the first time a few days ago and it was so easy. I was very skeptical but had heard good things about mensural cups and I was tired of the waste that tampons create. It honestly feels way more comfortable than a tampon ever did. Once it's in place you can't even feel it and removing it was a breeze. Just pull softly so it doesn't jet out like a rocket ship (lol). I'd say the learning curve is about 3 days - I'm on day 4 now and I already feel like a veteran. My only regret is I didn't get this years ago. Plus, I did the math and I'll be saving about $100 - $130 a year now that I'm a converted cup user. Amazing product!

I love that you can leave it in for 12-hrs without worrying about it - especially overnight! I also love that you are helping the environment by refusing pad & tampon use. However, it is so messy!! When you pull the string to break the suction blood gets all over your hands. Haven’t found a way to prevent this.

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.

Ive seen this ad, and many other period cup ads online and decided to give it a try. I picked this one due to the release string and after using it for 4/5ish months I’m very pleased with my purchase. Now, to be honest my first 2 months were rough... since this was my first time using a cup I believe I didn’t insert it properly and it leaked and then when I pulled the string I pulled too hard and it leaked, basically a disaster. It is a transition, but it is worth it. I paired this with the pixie cup steamer (life saver) and it’ll definitely save $$$ in the long run and help the environment.

I have been researching menstrual cups for about 6 month’s and I finally decided to pull the trigger and get a flex cup. Honestly, I’m so happy I did. I was never the girl who could wear tampons without pain, so I always wore pads with a medium/ heavy flow . The flex cup with only using it for one cycle has changed so much for me. Insertion was a lot easier then expected as well as removal, (i had a lot of anxiety about it). I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. My husband said it was a much better period for him as well because I wasn’t moody from being uncomfortable!
