Flex Menstrual Discs | Disposable Period Discs | Reduce Cramps & Dryness | Beginner-Friendly Tampon Alternative | Capacity of 5 Super Tampons | Made in Canada | 3-Pack (36 Total Count)

I've been working as a nurse in Women's Healthcare for the past 12 years and I have made it a goal to try all different kinds of menstrual products on the market to better advise my patients based on personal experience. I have tried just about everything, but I dragged my feet on trying the disc because it honestly seemed like the least appealing option. I feared that the removal would be difficult. I finally ended up trying a Flex Disposal Disc that came with the Flex Cup I bought a while back and I loved it SO MUCH that I ended up buying more! (I also bought the Flex Reusable Disc). These are a pretty decent price considering that each one lasts a full 12 hours for me with moderate flow. The material is a flexible, plastic that folds/bends for easy insertion. As the manufacturer claims, the benefit is that its less likely to alter your normal pH and bacteria growth than tampon material so it is a good option from a vaginal health standpoint. Also, the studies show that TSS is extremely rare with proper use (I couldn't find any data that a menstrual disc has ever lead to TSS, just a few rare cases from the cup). The dome part of the disc is like a durable plastic bag and it collapses to make insertion easier. The disposable discs don't have a notch like the reusable one, but I don't think the notch makes any difference for me personally and they are super easy to insert. INSERTION: the instructions that come with it are very detailed and helpful. No need to wash the reusable ones. Just open the package, bend the disc like a little taco and insert it like a tampon (through trial and error, I've found that a downward angle towards the tail bone places it properly without leaking). I have to use 2 hands to help keep it from opening while inserting, but even when it opens too early it doesn't hurt or impact anything. Just pinch it back closed and keep at it. Once it's in, I take my thumb on my left hand to push it up behind my pubic bone (the landmark is easy to find by doing it this way). WEAR: I wear these for my whole 12 hour busy/active shift, regardless of whether my flow is light or heavy, and I have NEVER experienced any leaks! If you bear down when you use the bathroom, just push it back behind your pubic bone after because it can move, but mostly this shouldn't be an issue. I don't feel the disc at all and I don't even think about my period for the whole 12 hours. REMOVAL: This was my biggest fear since I had A LOT of trouble with removing menstrual cups (not the Flex Cup). Just insert an index finger, hook it around the rim, and pull. So easy! I have also personally never had any mess. It is all contained in the disc. Then just discard it. CUP VS DISC: I loved my Flex Cup.. it definitely had a learning curve at first but the 12 hour wear and easy removal tab made it convenient, environmentally friendly, and comfortable. After I had my baby, it just never worked the same regardless of the cup size. It would leak and I ended up wearing a pad all day just in case which defeated the environmentally friendly part. The disc has all the same advantages as the cup, except there is no pull tab to worry about so it's more comfortable, insertion is more comfortable for me because of the discs flexibility and thin plastic, and I don't experience leaks anymore. REUSABLE VS DISPOSABLE: I'm not sure why, but the disposable discs are less likely to leak for me. Maybe it's because the plastic is more rigid than the silicone but I prefer these disposable ones when I know I NEED to have a leak free day (like when I work 12 hour shifts and am not guaranteed a bathroom break!). I know this is a long review, but if anyone is like me and dragging their feet about buying a disc, I want to be an advocate! This thing has changed the game for me, and I have tried it all. I wish I had tried it sooner because I can't imagine using anything else now. Hope this helps!

I’ve been using Flex discs for a while now, and I can honestly say they’ve completely transformed my period experience. If you’re someone who struggles with heavy flow and cramps, these discs are an absolute game-changer. First, let’s talk about convenience. For someone with heavy periods like me, I used to be stuck changing tampons every 10-20 minutes during the first couple of days. It was exhausting, and I was always worried about leaks. With Flex discs, I can comfortably go an hour without worrying about leaks or needing a change. That’s a huge relief when you’re already dealing with the discomfort of a heavy flow. But the real magic, in my opinion, is how much they speed up your period. The larger capacity of the Flex discs allows the blood to pass through more quickly, shortening the duration of your period and making those tough days so much more bearable. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in cramping as well, which has been a huge plus. It almost feels like the discs take the edge off everything – less mess, less discomfort, and a faster cycle overall. It’s worth noting that there’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to inserting and removing the discs. At first, it took me a couple of tries to get the hang of it, so I would definitely recommend practicing at home before trying them out in public. Once you get the technique down, though, they’re really easy to use, and I’m now able to insert and remove them with no trouble at all. When it comes to comparison, I’ve tried tampons, menstrual cups, and pads, and none of them have given me the same level of comfort and peace of mind that Flex discs do. They’re discreet, they don’t cause irritation, and most importantly, they actually work. I can’t imagine going back to anything else. For me, Flex discs are now the only period product I’ll use going forward. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend giving them a try. It might take a bit to adjust, but once you do, you’ll likely find them to be the most effective and comfortable period product out there.

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.

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.

Wonderful product. I bought these to trial before buying a reusable one and they are great! Super easy to use and this is coming from someone who struggles with pain from every other type of internal menstrual product. Highly recommend!

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..

So much better than tampons! More comfortable. You can use the bathroom. Not as much suction as a cup, so more comfortable to put in and get back out. Much easier to get out again. And it can stay in place for hours. A genius invention! Edit: I am finding on really heavy days I’m getting quite a bit of leakage which I am a bit baffled about
