FLEX The Company Disposable Silicone Reusable Menstrual Cup with 2 Disc Period Set - Wash Bag for Women - Large

This product is Amazing! Now I don't mind this monthly occurrence anymore. I have been a long term tampon user and gave this ago. It's so nice and flexible and soft and easy to insert. It really works. It lasts much longer than a tampon so going out and avoiding public toilets becomes a possibility. It is better for the environment too. It will last a good 10 years and replace a few thousand tampons and pads. Keep playing with the cup until you find the right spot for your body. I still use a tiny liner for those minor stains that may result from moving or running - a single toilet sheet will do the job too. After the second time I used my blood clots stopped and now the flow is so easy. I recommend the full cup for anyone. Better to wear it all day long rather than having to change half way. Customer service is excellent. If you need support just email them and they give you plenty of tips. Packaging is lovely. I have been giving them to my friends as gift to encourage better environmental footprint.

I have been using menstrual cups for over 10 years now and I absolutely couldn't imagine going back. I have one that I prefer and it's getting old and needs replacing, so I read about alternatives and I found Flex. I can't tell you how impressed I am! The stem is easy to find and very flexible. It is also moveable and helps break the seal. Other than writing an essay to explain it all. Just buy this one. you will never buy any other. Its quite literally the best menstrual cup I have ever tried by FAR and I've tried many! I would like to sincerely thank the designers on such an amazing job and making women's life easier.

I'm not a picky person, and I like to try all different kinds of menstrual products to find what works best for me and my lifestyle. I use tampons through the day, menstrual cups for my long 12hr shifts, and pads or menstrual cups for sleep. I have gravitated towards menstrual cups because of the environmental impact of pad/tampon waste. The other benefits are also that you don't have to spend money every month when you get your periods (just reuse these for every period, no need to buy more. And I have a little sterilizer at home to keep it nice and clean). They also have a MUCH longer wear time, so it is great for sleeping comfortably or, as I mentioned, my long 12 hour shifts with barely any time for breaks. The first time I tried a menstrual cup, it was a different brand and it was absolutely horrendous!! Definitely a learning curve, but also since it suctions onto your cervix, It was painful/miserable to remove! I almost thought I was going to have to get it removed at my OBGYN lol. But I didn't give up, and I bought the Flex cup. What is so great about it is that it has a suction release tab on it, so I have NEVER had any issue taking this out. It is easy to insert and remove, has a little loop to grab onto making it even easier to pull out, fits perfectly and feels like I am wearing nothing. I DID have some leaks which was a huge disappointment BUT that was before I got a bigger size (when I bought this, I had never had any kids and was in my mid 20s so I thought the smaller one would suit me). I swallowed my pride and got a bigger one, it's still easy to place, and it has never leaked for me. Lasts me the full 12 hours without any mess and feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. Yes, you may get some blood on your fingers with insertion and removal, but not in your underwear and that is a miniscule price to pay for the countless benefits of a menstrual cup. Overall, I highly recommend this menstrual cup and if you DO have leaks or if you hear of anyone that has had issues with these leaking, it likely isn't the product but the person. They just need a bigger size (speaking from experience). Hope this helps!

I was curious, but very hesitant to buy a cup. After lots of research and not being able to consistently find my preferred cardboard tampons, I caved and bought the Flex cup. I liked the way the pull ring seemed to remove the suction problem I’d heard horror stories about. Eek! I’m not on my third cycle using the Flex and for the most part, I like it. It takes some getting used to putting it in. It’s much, much different than a tampon. I have had to experiment a bit and found that going back more than up is the trick. Also, the way you collapse/pinch it and how long you can keep it pinched makes a huge difference in placement. I have found that if I can align removal with my shower, that keeps everything easier and less messy. It sometimes slips the tiniest bit, but nothing too crazy. I can tell though. But if I get a good angle, it stays put for a solid 8 hours. I have had two large babies and have mostly heavy days. So far the Flex has handled my flow really well. Way better than the super tampons I would go through every 1-2 hours. No major leaks like what happens with tampons—I have felt the beginnings of leaking but the flex seems to give you more of a window to get that taken care of than tampons do. I like that this is more sustainable and affordable than a disposable option. It has cut my use of tampons way way down. I’m WFH right now which has made the transition easier; not sure how it would work if I had to change this at work/in public. That would be a major pain/mess. But if you time it right, you could definitely go a full work day without h I got to worry. I haven’t noticed the lack of cramps as some reviewers mentioned. Overall using a cup is much easier than I imagined, works well, is comfortable and feels healthier for my body and the environment. Would definitely buy another one.

I tried multiple period products and this is my favorite. Below is my personal review of the things I have tried: Mensural sponge Pros: Eco-friendly, works great, can leave in during sex (and you seriously can't feel it at all, my husband agreed) Just as (if not more absorbent) than a tampon . Cheap because they can be reused multiple times. Cons: Hurts to insert/remove (my biggest complaint) especially by the end of the cycle. Is meant to soak up fluids which makes it hard to be wet during sex. Tampons Pros: More discrete than a pad. Soaks things up well. Cons: Toxic shock syndrome. Bad for the environment. Have to change much more often than other alternatives. Pads Pros: Good for someone who is having their first period ever. Do not have to internally insert. It is pretty much the only thing you can use after pregnancy to clean up the blood. It prevents chaffing against your incision if you had a C-section (put the sticky part in the front of your underwear so the pad rests on your cut.) Note: I have not had any kids yet these are just things I have read. Cons: Chafing, bad for the environment, feels like you are wearing a diaper. Flex Disk Pros: you can leave it in for hours upon hours. You don't feel it when it is in you. You can leave it in during sex (neither my husband nor I could feel it except he said he could a little if he caught on it when first going in before I was wet. That said he never wanted me to take it out when I asked. But, make sure you put a clean one in or go without one before sex because the blood collects in it and you will break the seal if you have sex which means all that blood will go pouring out and will make a mess.) Cons: TMI but.....Leaks blood when you go to the bathroom since those muscles are working which means it also leaks blood if you fart. (Imagine leaving it in for multiple hours on a heavy day and then farting) Flex Cup Pros: You don't feel it when it is in you and you can leave it in pretty much the whole day. Good for the environment. Cheap because you can reuse it so many times. Cons: Sometimes will catch when you pull it out which hurts. Personally: I use the flex cup on heavy days and then either the flex cup or flex disk on light days (depends on if I am getting sore from removing the flex cup.) Ideally, I would use a flex cup on heavy days and a mensural sponge on lighter days but I dread removing them because both products start to hurt when you remove them after a few times (NOTE: there is no pain when they are actually inside me during my entire cycle it is only when removing and sometimes when inserting.)
