Product Information

Prior to starting any supplement routine, we ALWAYS recommend talking to your doctor or healthcare provider to ensure our gummies make sense for you! The thumb trick is one of our favorite pro tips for menstrual disc insertion (including Flex Disc, Flex Plant+ Disc, and Flex Reusable Disc). Because Flex Disc sits the vaginal fornix, it leaves the vaginal canal unobstructed—which means sex is on the table all month long. The Reusable Disc holds the same amount of blood as 6+ super tampons (that’s 70 mL) and can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time. No more struggling to pinch the base of your menstrual cup to break the seal during removal: Flex Cup’s pull-tab does it for you.

You can even extend your wear time on your heaviest days by taking advantage of the disc’s hands-free emptying feature: Just bear down gently with your pelvic floor muscles when using the bathroom.International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. It works for me to use 2 discs per day even during my heaviest flow (compared to a big ol’ handful of tampons). Place the cup in the water and boil for 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it the entire time and stirring occasionally to make sure the cup does not come in contact with the sides or bottom of the pot (as that could melt the silicone). Some individuals (particularly those with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing) may be able to damage the tools in a very short space of time. Flex menstrual discs, including Flex Disc, Flex Plant+ Disc, and Flex Reusable Disc, are totally safe to use with water-based personal lubricants.

Pinch the disc in half and begin inserting it into the vaginal canal, making sure you are pushing the edge that goes in first down and back towards your tailbone so that it sits at an angle and fully covers the cervix. But one key thing makes it unique: Instead of a small knob or ring at the base of the cup to assist with removal, it has a finger loop attached to a stem that slides in and out the bottom of the cup. In other words, once you’re going about your day, you shouldn’t be able to feel the disc inside of you. We heard feedback about certain supplements with an unbearable taste and that even opening some bottles can give off an unpleasant smell. The full name on my Flex account is ____ and the e-mail address associated with the account is _______.Traditional menstrual cups must be removed by inserting two fingers, gripping the base of the cup, and pinching to manually break the seal. Flex Disc is the first product we sold under the Flex® brand and one of the earliest menstrual discs to be brought to market in the USA. That’s why we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider or Ob/Gyn prior to using a new period product if you have an IUD. Note: Bathroom leakage, or seeing a little blood in the toilet when you use the restroom, is normal and does not mean your disc is inserted incorrectly. With proper insertion, neither you nor your partner should be able to feel your menstrual disc during sex.

Note: Consult with your physician prior to using Flex Disc, Flex Reusable Disc, or Flex Plant+ Disc if you are prone to vaginal/bacterial infections, yeast infections, urinary tract infections, or have other medical, anatomical, or genetic predispositions which may increase your risk for these types of infections. Others, including our health and fitness editor Sara Hendricks, found the Flex cups firm rim created too tight a seal. The rim of the cup is firm enough that it pops open without any fiddling necessary (another problem I’ve had with other cups), but it’s still comfortable and easy to fold for insertion, in my opinion. Then, you’ll use your finger to pull the front rim (the side that enters your body last) straight up towards your belly button, tucking it securely behind your pubic bone. Prior to starting any supplement routine, we ALWAYS recommend talking to your doctor or healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant or breastfeeding.If you’re a first-time menstrual disc user, don’t forget to reference the Instructions for Use enclosed in your disc’s packaging!

Try using a box breathing technique to calm your nervous system and help you relax your pelvic floor muscles. You may have to experiment with different insertion methods to find the one that works best for you. In other words, a menstrual disc should be comfortable for both you and your partner during period sex—and that includes sex of all kinds (from penetrative to oral). In most cases, all it takes is a little relaxation and some command over your pelvic floor muscles to get literally anything that might happen to be stuck inside your vagina back out of your body.As a leading expert in this space, there is no one more qualified to curate your products than Kim Rosas. If you notice any, try twisting the cup slightly or pressing gently against your vaginal walls to help it open up. Place the disc in the water and boil for 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it the entire time and stirring occasionally to make sure the disc does not come in contact with the sides or bottom of the pot (as that could melt the silicone). Once the disc is pushed as far back as it will go, make sure to tuck the front rim all the way up behind your pubic bone (think about pulling it up towards your belly button).
