Flex Reusable Disc

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 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!

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.

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!

These are the best!! I tried the Diva cup and damn near passed out trying to put it in and out. If you’ve never experienced the trauma of taking something out of your vagina that is suctioned in place, you have no idea how anxiety inducing it can be. Plus, who wants to fight with a cup of blood that is so deeply rooted in your vagina that you’d think it was seated in place by demons? But the disc, there is zero suction. It folds up to easily fit into what I still consider a tight space. There’s no tugging on it to make that terrible seal. It holds a lot so heavy periods have met their match. I had zero leakage. Taking it out was also a breeze. No passing out or negotiating with demons to let it go. Best of all, no suction sounds! Because let’s face it, nothing coming out of your vagina should sound like you’re pulling your foot out of mud! Highly recommend.

I've been using this for about 6 months so far and its the most comfortable thing i've ever tried. I have endometriosis and it helps with the pain because it's not adding pressure. I sometimes have some issues with small leaks so i wear a liner. Removing it is a little tricky and a bit messy but I would 100% recommend this over anything i've tried before.
