Flex Reusable Disc | Reusable Menstrual Disc | Tampon, Pad and Cup Alternative | Capacity of 6 Super Tampons | Lasts for Years | Includes Carrying Pouch & 2 Free Disposable Discs

Incredible. I tried a cup once and it was a nightmare. It scared me off for a long time. I decided to try the disposable discs after a moment of reconsideration and it was fantastic. It went so well I bought the reusable one and it's my first cycle with it, I'm sold. I have severe cramps, and I have noticed a massive difference with these. I still get them, particularly bad on day one, but when I used tamps I would cramp full time all week. With these, I almost didn't have any. I felt day one, and the rest of the time it was a rare ache here and there. Some days nothing at all. I love that I can sleep with them. I barely leaked overnight on my heaviest day (I normally do with tamps, even the extra supers, and I have to set alarms to change them because even with overnight pads I've had mishaps). I only needed a panty liner for that one night! One thing though, I could auto dump with the disposable option. I also had a few leaks with the disposables, on my heaviest day. With this reusable option, I cannot seem to auto dump. It's said that's because with the size and composition it's a better fit for my body. That's fine, I can deal with that. But it's a little disappointing because I enjoyed the auto dump spring my heaviest days when I didn't want to need longer breaks at work or on the go to handle that. I have decided to use disposables during that time instead so I could utilize that, but the rest of my period the reusable is great. Now about placement. I am in my late 30s, one delivery by c section. I watched multiple videos online and was nervous about getting it right and getting it out. I found it totally easy to get it in and tucked my first try. It was totally comfortable, didn't feel it at all. The disposable ones tend to slip on me while using the restroom and need to be readjusted, but this reusable one doesn't do that. Removing it was a bit of a learning curve. The disposable ones were easier to remove for me, the thinner lining and more pronounced edge made quick work of hooking my finger under it and pulling it out. This one's more flush and rounded and the material made it a little more difficult to do that. I had a mess my first attempt, and I was glad I tried that at home where the sink is nearby and I had plenty of clean up options. The second time, I tried to move more slowly and get the feel for it, but it fell in the toilet. I never had that happen with the disposable ones and it was pretty annoying and gross. I was not at home for that situation, it was a public restroom, so I just had to let that one go. Thankfully I bought multiples, which I HIGHLY suggest for just that situation. But after that I have seemed to have figured it out and no longer having any difficulty with it.

Okay, so I was skeptical. I have been using a diva cup for about a decade. I recently had a baby and all of a sudden diva cups weren’t working for me anymore. Even the postpartum ones would sink down during the day, leaked, and ultimately were uncomfortable. I was VERY unsure about the disc and felt clumsy inserting it and didn’t trust the self emptying feature. In full transparency, the first day I used it, I didn’t get it to sit properly and it collapsed during a yoga class and when I tell you I BOLTED out of that class haha. Since then, I have put it in and pushed it up against my pubic bone and then ROTATED it. That does the trick. And then even if you self empty, make sure to kinda put it back in place. After I got the hang of it, it has very few leaks, is more comfortable than a diva cup, is easier to empty, holds more, and is easier to insert. For all postpartum mamas, this is the way. And for the diva cup nay sayers, don’t knock it till you try it.

I recently found out I have fibroids. I bleed heavy and go through the biggest tampon in about an hour. This gives me much more time to not worry. Every couple of hours I go to the restroom to auto dump it, so if you push and kegel a couple times, it will empty all the way without having to take it out. I previously tried cups which I could feel and they were harder to get into position since I have a low lying cervix as well. They barely fit my body and are much messier than discs, especially when out in public because you have to remove them. (These also hold more) The auto dump is amazing but make sure it's notched back into place after doing so. While you don't have to take it out for your cycle at all, I usually remove, wash with gentle fem soap and reinsert daily while in the shower. Removal and insertion is easy to me now. I don't get any irritation from it. No reduction in cramps but I'm sure that's my fibroids fault. I'm glad that I've switched! I will never look back. I think the best part is no worry of tss, no having to remove it, not feeling it and how much it holds. My only qualm was when I first got it, I was so paranoid that I wasn't using it properly and that it would leak even when I had it in right. Being used to 20 plus years of tampons Def had me on a learning curve with these. I can't blame the flex for that. Just took a little bit for me to get used to using. I do have leaks on occasion still due to severe, heavy bleeding but it's always on my heaviest day while I'm sleeping for extended periods. I've had much less incidents after switching and HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

i never leave reviews, but this is only my first day using my disc and i do not have enough good things to say about it. i purchased this because two of my friends brought to my attention that tampons have a lot of toxins in them, and there have been recent studies that suggest that they can cause infertility. they both use the diva cup, but i did not imagine that being something that would work for me. i think i saw an ad for this on tiktok, and the comment section convinced me that it was worth a try. first of all, i was very intimidated by installation. i thought there was no way i would be able to easily get it in place. i stand corrected. i attempted for the first time this morning while i was rushing to get to work, and it was almost ridiculously easy. it takes no effort to place it exactly where it needs to go. i am on day 1 of my period (therefore the heaviest), and i have had zero leakage. the self emptying feature did take me a couple of tries to figure out, but i found that if i lean forward while pushing, it works super easily. i also usually have VERY bad cramps, to the point where i feel like i can barely move. the absolute most i’ve had today is slight discomfort, and i cannot feel the disc at all. i don’t know if it’s the fact that i don’t have a tampon in, if it’s because the placement of the disc relieves cramps, or a combination, but either way, this is the first time in about nine years that i haven’t had a painful cramp on day 1. i will absolutely never go back to any other product, this one has completely changed the game for me!

Flex Menstrual Cup Review – A Solid Upgrade with a Few Learning Curves I’ve been using the Flex menstrual cup for a few cycles now, and while it’s not my “Goldilocks” disk, it’s definitely a big improvement over what I was using before. I previously used the Saalt Small Cup, and while it’s a popular option, it just didn’t work for me. The suction on that cup caused pretty uncomfortable cramping, it was tough to get it to open properly, and I found myself having to empty it multiple times a day—only for it to still leak, even on lighter flow days. Enter the Flex cup. It took a little practice to get the hang of insertion, but once I got used to the technique, it went in pretty smoothly. The design is definitely more comfortable for me than the Saalt, and I love that I only need to empty it every 12 hours thanks to its larger capacity. That’s been a total game changer for busy days. Removal is still a bit messy, but not overwhelmingly so. It’s manageable, and I think with more experience it’ll get even easier. It’s not the most perfect fit (still on the hunt for my ideal disk), but it does its job well—no cramps, no constant leaks, and far fewer bathroom trips. Overall, I’ll definitely keep using it. It’s a solid, reliable product that works way better for my body than the cup I was using before.

My only complaint is that I’ve been watching their ads for years and they didn’t convince me to switch sooner. Life changing protection, comfort, and ease. If you’re scared to switch— don’t be. It’s worth it for the price of one period’s worth of tampons for a device that works better and will last YEARS. My only advice for a newbie is to try it on your days home to get a hang of it. I realized quickly that sneezing makes me self empty lol. But once I knew that I could bear down and prevent any leaking. But again… just do it.

Quick update /protip: When inserting, for best seal, sometimes, esp durring heavy flow, i pat my lower canal down so its not inserted into a super wet mess. This was my only original issue and i figured out if o did a little rinse or pat pat, the disc sealed perfectly never with any issue. Original review: Frankly, I LOVE THIS DISC. Only seriously motivated to review it after deciding to venture out when my last/first flex disc was ready for retirement. This time, instead, I bought the pixie cups. I figured I'd get both since, why not, and I'd never tried the upper sized ones so was curious and got the two pack. The smaller pixie was too small, to soft, it bubbled up creating no bowl to catch. I liked the string/easy removal idea also but it's just not comfortable like the flex. The flex is amazing. Litterally, it would be best if I set an alarm because it's SO COMFORTABLE, I feel nothing so if not for cramps or a teeeeeeeny bit of red that can come when wiping for pee, or for poo the cup self empties some so it's a good reminder, oh I have period protection to take care of 😆. Flex is a dream. I tried allllll of the cups. They don't feel good, i can feel them, the ends /bottom part/tips press on your soft exit area when sitting, and moving, or just with no movement at all. Im returning / processing refund for the pixies. The small needs to be bigger and more ridged and the large, well im 36 and have not had babies but wow SO SO SO FIRM. I feel the standard flex is the best of both these worlds fitting right in the middle and would likely be good for both pre and post birth women. I traveled the world with mine for two years. Let me say THESE ITEMS SHOULD ONLY BE SOLD IN CLEAR!!!!! PINK AND PURPLE, NON OPAQUE COLORS ARE DANGEROUS!!! The clear allows you to see what and where is not clean and needs to be cleaned. Mine easily lasted two years. And no I could not boil as often as needed giving my living circumstances but, probably due to its clear color, I could clean very well anything left behind. ALL of the other ones I used besides the... idk the name maybe also flex is hot pink with honey comb texture on the bowl area, gained weird smell I could never get rid of. My personal ph is likely better now but regardless this thing NEVER EVER smelled weird and I am one of those "super smellers" who can smell strongly things that other people can't even pick up. Love this disc. Worth every penny. Will stay with them. My yoni is really not happy with pixie. I feel if you like that one you haven't tried this one. I get removal is "harder" with no string, but relaxing and bearing down was always plenty to retrieve and you sacrifice completely comfort for a 1 second challenge of removal. Love flex. Thanks yall ✨️✨️✨️

Alright ladies, let’s talk about the flax disc. 1.does it actually work? -yes! I used it for the entirety of my last period and experienced no problems or leaking 2. Is it comfortable? -yes! Once in place it feels exactly like a tampon (or doesn’t feel because you literally can’t feel it once it’s in) 3. Is it convenient?-maybe, it’s convenient in the way that you don’t have to worry about running out of tampons or pads, convenient that you only have to check it 2x a day (for me, may need more for a heavier flow) and convenient that you can sleep with it in and not have to worry. NOT convenient because yes, let’s be honest, it can be messy to take out to empty, plus it can be messy putting it back in since there is no applicator to put I in for you. It’s not convenient because if you are in a public restroom and don’t have a cleaning container (buy the pixie cup one, it’s amazing and breaks down for storage) it’s near impossible to clean your disc. 4. Is it long lasting? -yes! It can last for years if cleaned properly and not damaged by boiling (get cleaning solution and water or buy a cup/disc steamer to protect the disc from burning) eventually like everything else it will need to be replaced, however it comes no where close to disposing 14 tampons or more, a week every month. 5. Does it actually help with cramps?-yes! I typically cramp ALOT on my period, my last period with the disc, I did experience some cramping, however it was no where near as much cramping as I would have with tampons 6. Can you actually empty it without taking it out?-yes and no. Because the flex disc only comes in one size, if you’re not a heavy bleeder (like myself usually) you won’t have a lot to empty. This being said, it will be harder to empty a little bit without taking it out, then emptying the majority if you were a heavy bleeder. Also be cautious that in order to self empty, you have a high chance of it coming out of place and needing to be readjusted. My personal opinion? Just take it out to empty and re-insert, a lot easier and guaranteed you won’t leak after. TO SELF EMPTY- you’re going to want to be sitting on the toilet and push as if you were trying to go #2. Your muscles essentially will push the disc down to empty. Finally, #7. Is it better than cheaper discs?-yes! I have also tried other brands and no other discs compares to the flex disc. The flex is made with high quality medical grade silicone, while others tend to have a more plasticy feel to them and bend less easily than the flex disc OVERALL - an amazing product and I highly recommend it. It’s eco friendly and not linked to TSS which was a main seller for me. However, u do wish the company would make different sizes to meet the needs of different flows. Having a larger disc with light bleeding seems excessive instead of just using a smaller size.

Best period product out there! It’s a game changer to be able to empty it without even using your hands. I don’t even have to tuck it back in place. It just automatically goes back where it should. Take it out twice per day in the morning and before bed to give it a good clean and that’s it. I have heard it doesn’t work for some peoples anatomy but works great for me!

Couldn’t recommend it enough. I’m 28 and have never used a tampon, or cup in my life - pads only, so this was a completely new, and somewhat daunting experience. I was scared it would get stuck inside, which is the reason I never bought a cup, but this one seemed less likely to create a hard to break suction and get stuck, so I went for it. I definitely struggled the first couple tries to get it in properly, but on my 3rd attempt I did it perfectly and now have no issues. I have no leakage, I can’t feel it, and if I didn’t experience pain (I have Endo) then I wouldn’t even know I was on my period. Absolute game changer, sucks I’ve spent 14 years menstruating without this lol. Only downside is price, however I would pay that all day long for the benefits, and it is a bit messy changing it, but you only have to do it once every 12 hours, so it’s no big deal having a bit of a mess twice a day. And it’s super easy to take out which was my biggest concern, will never use another period product again

I'm honestly baffled that I reached the age of 32 without ever hearing about menstrual discs. After years of wearing tampons this unexpectedly feels so much cleaner - yes it's a little messy to remove, especially on my heaviest flow day, but that's a small price to pay to eliminate the need to change my tampon every couple of hours. I have never experienced BAD cramping, but once I hit 30 I did start having some discomfort in the first couple of days. Using the disc instead of tampons seems to have really helped, granted I've only used these for one cycle but I haven't had any cramping which is unusual for me these days. I was worried that I would feel it, in the same way you can feel a tampon when you've not quite inserted it enough or when the string is sitting weirdly, but I genuinely feel nothing. I was also worried about leaks, have been wearing pantyliners *just in case* but so far it's been completely mess free. The one thing I haven't tested is period sex, I'm not convinced it will work that well (I mean, I can feel the rim with my finger so I imagine the guy would feel it during sex..?) but even if it doesn't, I'm still very happy!

Super happy that Amazon.ca carries the Flex Reusable Disc since we can't find the reusable disc in stores here in Toronto (stores only carry the disposables). Well as you can see, I have both the reusable and the disposable discs: I bought the disposable one first to see if liked it enough to get the reusable one. I love both and found the reusable disc slightly more comfortable than the disposable disc! Flex is the first brand of menstrual discs I ever used and previously I had been using the Diva Cup for years. I have no idea why it took me THIS LONG to discover menstrual discs. I can honestly say, I will only use the Diva Cup if I'm swimming in the ocean (and I don't touch tampons by the way). Why won't I use the menstrual disc when swimming in the ocean? Okay ladies, well, if you're having fun snorkelling in the ocean for a couple of hours, you're probably gonna want to pee in the ocean (just not with any humans near you out of courtesy). And well, when you pee, the disc will self-empty and release blood and you don't want blood in the ocean (um, it could attrack a shark). So for anyone who swims in the ocean regularly or is heading on a tropical vacation during that time of the month, just keep this in mind as a small safety tip 😉 In terms of using the menstrual disc during intimacy, this thing is AMAZING! 😅 Your partner probably won't notice or feel the disc. I honestly love the Flex menstrual disc and highly recommend it. And I did quite a bit of research prior to my purchase and found that Flex is the only reusable disc that does not have dye/colour on the disc which was important to me. Now, I was shocked when I saw the size of the disc for the first time: my partner was shocked too and we both wondered how it was going to fit in there 🤣 well, it fits. And it fits quite easily!! And the good news is that I don't feel it at all (unlike the diva cup which you can kind of feel). And compared to the diva cup, for any ladies who have experience with the diva cup, this menstrual disc is a breeze to remove: I often struggled to pull out the diva cup in comparison and I find the diva cup a lot messier since it does not self empty like this Flex disc. Hope this review helps! ☺️

i'm gonna feed back on a few bits that are super relevant. - it doesn't self empty quite as well as the disposables do. - it's comfortable and you can't feel it in place - you'll never go back to tampons again, this is so much more practical - it is messy to empty, you need a bathroom with a sink to wash your hands after to plan removal for bedtime - I've never leaked with flex, either disposable, if you import them from the states, or this reusable silicone one. - it feels cleaner than regular sanitary items to use, 'nipping' to the loo is so much easier - if you're a sports person, this is your go to, especially sports where you're unable to get to a loo for hours - golf, tennis, football etc - you can do the deed with it in place, it doesn't shift or move, but it is distracting for your partner cos they can feel it. if you're after the cleaner experience this will tick the box, but you're only gonna want to remove it to clean it after anyway (in my opinion) so if you're not bothered to begin with, just remove it first. - to get your head around the way these work, it sits vertically not horizontally. you put it in like a tampon without an applicator, it slots into place intuitively about as high up as your index finger. you hook it back out with your finger, you might have to bear down a little. it sounds way more complicated than it actually is. - all day comfort, no stress, no leaks, to toxic shock and you can sleep in it no problem. - it just cleans with handwashing. - worth noting for anyone who already uses the disposable flex that this needs a little more concentration to remove, not in a bad way, just in a different way because its all silicone. - it air dries quickly and comes with a little canvas bag to store it in. - worth one final note - if you like to sleep without clothes, this is the purchase for you.
