Better than all of the other options!
Life changing! I tried using a cup many years ago and no matter which one I bought, which size I used, it was too painful for me. I get toxic shock if I use a tampon. My period will stop and I’ll have to pull out a dry tampon. So I definitely can not use those. I have been using these Flex disposable discs now for probably 6 years. I love them! I tried to use a reusable disc (not flex though it’s too expensive for me) and it too was very uncomfortable. Not these though. I don’t even feel these! They are very comfortable. My cramps aren’t so bad anymore either. I do wear a pad or liner though. Depending on how heavy my period is, it will eventually leak. Not for several hours usually though. They do self empty when you sit on the toilet. Unfortunately though when it gets full, as soon as I sit down I find out it is full. Because it leaks out. So I find it necessary to always wear at least a liner. There’s no telling when it’s full. It does take many hours to fill up most of the time. Regardless of that I can not go without them. I’ll deal with a little leak once a day, versus leaking out all day long. So worth it!

Super Comfortable and Total Game Changer
I used to be a big fan of menstrual cups until they just weren’t working for me anymore. I was told to try Flex Disc, but I didn’t want to jump straight into the reusable one since it’s not cheap and I wasn’t sure if it would work for me. I started with the disposable Flex Discs first, and after using them for a couple of cycles, I was honestly impressed. That’s what made me finally buy the reusable disc. The Flex Disc is SO comfortable. If you’ve never tried a disc before, don’t let how it looks freak you out. It’s definitely different than tampons, but for me, it’s been the most comfortable option I’ve ever used. No leaks, it fits really well, and I don’t feel it at all. Yes, the upfront cost is more, but when you compare it to constantly buying tampons, it really does make sense. Another big bonus is that I don’t get that pulling or tightening feeling, and my cramps feel better too. Cleaning is easy. I just empty and clean it in the morning and before bed. That’s it. It’s really that simple. I honestly don’t dread my period anymore, which says a lot. I also love that it comes with two disposable discs to keep in your purse just in case, plus a little bag to store the reusable disc so it stays clean. I did take off one star because of the shipping. The package came crushed, and I really wish it had been shipped in a padded envelope or box. Not a deal breaker for me, but it could be a problem if this was meant as a gift. Overall, this has been a total game changer for me and I would definitely recommend it if you’re thinking about trying a disc.

Ptsd from the removal process
Easy to get in, minimal leakage! I have a heavy flow and so day 2 required extra trips to the bathroom. Once its in place, you cant feel it. My complaint is that taking it out it out is almost traumatic! "Hooking" it make the content leak out instantly which you can imagine the mess that comes with it. Other than the removal process, Im impressed!

My personal amazing experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ LIFE-CHANGING! I have been a tampon user for YEARS and honestly thought I'd use them forever. After learning more about some of the potential risks associated with tampons, I started looking for alternatives and decided to try the Flex Cup. Unfortunately, cups just weren't for me—I found it uncomfortable and a little painful to insert and wear. Luckily, the disc that came with it completely changed my experience. It was SO much easier to insert, and once it was in place, I genuinely forgot I was even on my period. I wore it through my normal daily routine, including long shifts at work, and had ZERO leaks. After seeing how well it worked for me, my boyfriend surprised me with the reusable version, and I've had the same amazing results. Only slight downside of the disc is that removal could be a little messy at first, but honestly, the overall experience of it is worth a little mess! For me, it has been a total game-changer. No more pads, no more tampons, no leaks, and so much more comfort. I only wish I had tried it sooner! Writing this in hope someone else feels the same way I do hehe :)

fantastic, less cramps, can be messy🤷🏻♀️
completely abandoned tampons for these god-blessed products. have been using for 4* years. i have severe cramping and PMS and these significantly reduced cramps on days 1 & 2. comfy for long-term wear (12-hr healthcare shifts for instance) and i even feel comfortable wearing overnight. beware, they are so unnoticeable in the warm place that i forget it’s in there sometimes so maybe set a timer. but bc of less chemicals i am less concerned about TSS so i feel less anxious if i wear for too long by accident. holds a lot of blood, i bleed heavily. i LOVE that they self-empty when you go to the bathroom too. these are my go-to period product. cons: contrary to claims these do not work during sex at least for my body a little scary at first but just try it out🤗 u can leak a bit if u bear down like you have to poop or holding in pee so….just no last minute trips to the porcelain bowl if you can help it. removing them/disposal on a heavy bleed day can be a bit of a bloodbath so prepare accordingly and remove slowly to avoid the splatter🙏🥴

Holds good volume, minimal leaks, but VERY messy removal
My period supplies have become my beasts of burden. I am a very heavy bleeder during my cycle and find myself going between different menstrual supplies. I used to wear menstrual cups along with level 5 pads on the regular as backup. However, after getting an IUD, I worried about pulling on the device strings during removal, so I now use menstrual discs, tampons, and pads. At work, I wear tampons because they’re convenient and less messy than any of the discs that I’ve tried. However, at home and while running errands, I rely on an assortment of menstrual discs and pads. So of all of the menstrual discs that I’ve tried, the Flex has had the fewest leaks, and has held the largest volume of blood, but it also has had the messiest removal. The rim is firm, soft, and durable and has a notch in it. Supposedly, you’re supposed to pull the disc forward during wear just enough to let the blood flow out without fully removing the disc to allow for easy emptying, or just bear down and it will self-dump. However, that invariably leaves a fair amount of old blood in the cup and seems very unhygienic to me. In addition, I’ve found it very difficult to even just grasp the edge for removal, often requiring some contortion and multiple attempts at catching the edge enough to break the seal and pull it out- resulting in my hand- and not just my fingers- being a bloody mess. After owning one of these for a little over a year, the membrane of mine tore during a routine cleaning and so I have to replace it. I have multiple discs and used this only for 2-3 overnights during my cycle, during which I would wash this every morning before replacing it. At the end of my cycle, I would notice stains in the transparent material in spite of vigorous washing, so I would soak this in a half peroxide, half water solution overnight (btw, doing this completely destroys any stains and/or odors). This absolutely eliminated the stains, but now I’m wondering if that made the material more susceptible to tearing. For $35 and roughly a year and a half of usage, I guess I got my money’s worth. But then again, my other discs are just as old- and my Cora is even older- and still in excellent condition, so I’m torn. I still have my Cora and wear that during the end of my cycle when I’m not bleeding as much, because it holds smaller volumes. My Cora is easily inserted and easier to remove than my Flex. The Cora is also a much firmer disc and I still get minor occasional leaks with it. I have another couple of other discs that I wear sometimes, but the rims are too soft for my anatomy and they leak badly. I have a low cervix and I’m a heavy bleeder (on 1st three days of my cycle, I average one Ultra heavy tampon every three hours) and have yet to find a menstrual disc that holds as much as the Flex. And I really hate wearing ultra tampons that leave my cervix feeling abused- especially on cycle days 3-5 when my flow eases up and I can change it every eight hours. So my search continues. I might buy a Pixie or a Diva Cup Disc for my next purchase. Or I might try another Flex as it has the highest capacity that I’ve found on the market. But I’m still deciding.

Disc vs cup: TMI things to know from a long time user!
First off, I’ve been using both cups and menstrual discs for years. They. Are. The. Best. I bought light “period underwear” for small leaks which I only have to use on my heaviest days. More on that later. Both cups and discs are cramp-free. Read that again. No more cramps. I don’t know the magic but if cramps ruin your life this information might just save it. Totally worth the learning curve! You also shouldn’t feel them while you are wearing them. If you do, you should try a different one, since not all discs/cups are created equal! I started my journey with another brand of discs which I could feel and leaked frequently. This one is the best one I’ve personally tried, but know if you’re built differently then perhaps this one might be problematic for you, while another brand works perfectly. Don’t be afraid to experiment. For heavy bleeders: discs are great for those first couple of days or so. They self-empty when you go to the bathroom, which means you don’t have to ever switch out period products ever again in public bathrooms. Truly, you only need take it out at the end of the day and replace it with a new one! Easy peasy. Beginner friendly since they are disposable. No washing or sterilizing like the cup requires. I know that really grosses out some people. Just toss it. Downside is, you will have to buy them monthly just like most other period products. Not so with the cup (there are discs designed to be reused as well but I do not personally have experience with them, and this review is about this disposable one anyway). Let’s talk disc leakage. It should be minor, unless it gets dislodged during a restroom break. This is my biggest frustration with discs. Sometimes it’s good, but it’s recommended to check its placement after using the bathroom since it sometimes gets out of its place. If you don’t catch it, then it won’t do it’s job. Since they are designed to empty out you may find they might leak with, say, a badly timed sneeze or cough even if it’s in properly. Even so, a light back up pad is normally all you need in such circumstances unless it was very full to begin with. If you feel a leak starting, head to the bathroom. Most of the time that means it is overfull. A light liner is usually all you need for these leaks if caught right away. To sum up: discs are not totally leak-free, but that is actually what makes them so amazing for heavy bleeders, since they freely “leak” into the toilet. Unfortunately they can shift during that process so it’s not totally set-and-forget it, either. Oh wait. Period sex? There is DEFINITELY a learning curve with this. Not so much leak-wise (though I wouldn’t try it if it’s full), but the guy can feel it. Keep that in mind and start slow. There was a BIG difference in this area between this brand and the other one I have tried. This one wasn’t as “sharp”, although hubby is still not a fan so I’m not sure I can recommend it. Cups! Cups are virtually leak-free in every sense with the proper fit. They are not nearly as “one-size-fits-all”: shorter, taller, wider, skinnier, firmer, and softer versions means you may have to try multiple brands and styles before you find one that’s perfect for you. With a proper fit, you should not be able to feel it. They do not self-empty, which means you have to take them out, dump them, and reinsert if they get full. However, in my experience by day 2 or 3 you can easily go all day without having to dump it. I’m a heavy bleeder. If you are a light bleeder, you should be able to use the cup from day 1 for a leak-free period. Outside of the initial “cavity blood” making its way out (the stuff that was already there before you put the cup in - quite minor), you could honestly go without a liner and be good all day as long as your bleeding isn’t heavy enough to fill it up. After day 2 or 3, I normally do this myself. I wear regular underwear and not even a liner for back up. That’s how leak-free it is. With a cup, there should be no sign of your period until you dump it out at the end of the day. No cramps, no blood. 5 stars. You do have to wash it, so “dealing with it” is messier in that sense, maybe. They say to boil it on a stove to sterilize it between cycles, but I find throwing it in the dishwasher works great (it’s only after I’ve already washed it, but if that freaks you out then do what makes you comfortable). I recommend owning at least two cups to let them “breathe” between uses: I don’t personally use the same one non-stop for 7 days even with proper washing habits if I can avoid it. To sum up: I hand down prefer cups over discs on lighter days, because I can completely forget about it all day. No “reminders” when I go use the bathroom. On heavy days, I sometime do a cup, sometimes I do discs. A disc and light liner is easy to keep in your car or purse if you’re caught off-guard while you’re out. That’s it! Hope this has been helpful. Always happy to share TMI if I think it will help out. Try these discs out, you will love them!

Worth it!
I made the decision to switch to this back in April I think, and I would say I am happy with that decision. I previously used tampons and while I never had any medical issues using them, I know that they are horrible to put in our bodies and they are expensiveeeee. The reusable disk is top tier because 1. I don’t have to spend any money on tampons anymore, 2. The disk doesn’t make me skip certain activities like swimming etc., or sex. And it doesn’t slow me down, meaning I don’t have to be mindful about the time I last put a tampon in to keep track of when I need to go get a new one, I don’t have to think about what I’m doing and plan ahead to pack enough tamps to bring with me etc. It did take a couple cycles to get used to, at least for me. Figuring out the mechanics, so to speak, with how to insert the disk (the instructions and tips it came with helped!) how to ensure it empties itself the way it’s designed to and it took a few tries to see how to keep any mess bare minimum or non existent with removal (because you’re only supposed to leave it inserted for up to 12 hours). With cleaning, I do this after removing it when it’s been used for the whole day/night and I just clean it by hand with antibacterial soap, making sure I washed my hands beforehand and after also. The most helpful tip I found in reviews was to wear a panty liner for the chance a leak happens, avoiding any stains on your underwear, especially at night it helps with sleep. Overall I have no regrets with making the switch for my cycle. This has been great. ***Though I will add a disclaimer and say that I’m not sure this would be as mess free or leak proof if you have a super heavy cycle. Mine has never been super heavy, typically only lasting about 4-5 days and when I used tampons I would primarily use “regular” or “light” and periodically need “super”.

Sono il top per uso occasionale
Il prodotto è un filino costoso. I produttori dicono che usato continuativamente consente di inquinare meno che con i normali assorbenti... Peccato che dovendone cambiare uno ogni 12 ore la spesa sia eccessiva. Sono però fantastici da usare occasionalmente per una giornata in piscina o per tutti gli usi che volete voi in cui il flusso crea disagio. Indossati, non si sentono affatto. Ci vuole solo un po' di confidenza con il proprio corpo, soprattutto per rimuoverli, ma secondo me battono le coppette mestruali su tutti i fronti.

Incredible
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

Not for having fun with the partner
I bought the disposable discs because they were advertised as ‘mess-free period s.x’ and ‘barely noticeable.’ Honestly, I don’t see how that could be true. The ring is large, tall, and rigid, and both my partner and I could feel it, very uncomfortable. That said, I still find it a better alternative to tampons.
V**A
This ain’t it
Awkward. Uncomfortable. Will stick with a proper cup. Definitely can’t be used for intimate times during ones period, to avoid the messy clean up, as it has been suggested.. the ring is like the top off a juice container lol..

Only One That Works
I’ve tried a few menstrual discs and some I’ve had sporadic success with while others I’ve had no success with. Period products aren’t something where sporadic is “good enough”. I had always had great luck with the Flex disposable menstrual discs, but wasn’t thrilled about having to repurchase every couple of months and the resulting waste, but it took me a long time to bite the bullet and buy the Flex reusable disc because compared to other menstrual discs, it’s pricey! But I’m so glad I finally bought it because this is the only disc I’ve used where I have reliable success with it every time. No problems with insertion unlike other discs I’ve tried where it may or may not go in properly or at all. I’ve you’ve been frustrated by other reusable discs, spend the money and get the Flex!
