Flex Cup

I have used menstrual cups for almost 5 years. The pull tab is a game changer, and the best part is that you can't even feel it! I wake up with a sore back when on my period. With the flexi cup, dumping in the mornings has become much easier. Plus I don't have anxiety over not letting the cup slip into the toilet. It's a must a try.

I honestly was very scared to try out this cup. I had previously tried using a different brands menstrual cup and it was a nightmare. I wasn’t able to get it out, and I had to go the my OBGYN to get it removed after having it in for almost 30 hours. But tbh before I realized I couldn’t get it out it was the most comfortable period of my entire life. I couldn’t feel the up at all, and it was like I wasn’t even on my period. So I was very excited to see this one had a pull tab to help you break the seal (which was the crux of the issue the first time around). Like most other people said, it is a bit of a learning curve and a lot different than other products I have used. I’ve seen a lot of people say it’s challenging to learn how to get in, but getting it out is easy. For me it was definitely the opposite, I was able to get it in within the first few tries, but pulling it out is still kind of hard. Breaking the seal is super easy, but if I don’t hold the cup a certain way I feel like I’m getting torn in half when trying to pull it out. But like I said it’s a learning curve and honestly I’m just ecstatic I can get it out myself lol. This product works great for me because I’m not super familiar with my body, which made it hard for me to figure out where to reach and how to break the seal the first time a tried a cup. The pull tab was really easy for me to reach, and only took one or two tries get it right. I would definitely recommend this to people who want to try a cup but aren’t fully confident they could get it out or are a first time cup user. When it was in I didn’t leak and I couldn’t even feel it! So comfortable! Definitely worth it and saves money in the long run!

Love this thing! It does take some getting used to, but once I got the hang of it I never went back to tampons or panty liners. I go ahead and use it until the last day or two of my period even if I'm really light just to avoid a panty liner. Once it's in you don't know it's there. Easy to take out and replace in the shower so you can clean it. If you're a heavy bleeder you will need to change it about every 4 hours and I notice more leakage on day one. I chose this one for the black color and the little ring for easy removal. I also purchased a pixie steamer for cleaning at the end of my cycle. You can boil it in water also, but I made the mistake of forgetting about it one day. 😅

First time using a menstrual cup and I am 80% please with it! I say 80 because the only issue I have with it is *sometimes* it leaks when it’s “full”, even though when it’s removed, it’s only about 50% full. I use a panty liner with it. So I’m assuming it’s because of the angle I’m personally in (sitting or laying) opposed to just standing up and just letting it fill, if that makes sense. And the other issue is when I go to remove it and pull the “string”, idk if blood comes out of the hole when the string is being pulled down, but it can get MESSY. So much so that I honestly wouldn’t use this product outside my home, and thats a bummer. I sometimes have very heavy periods now, (thanks to my kids! Lol) so heavy I need to change a super plus tampon every 45-60min. So when I use the cup, I change it every hour and it’s always messy, until the end when it’s already spotty. I should also say, I do not sleep with it when my periods are heavy. Iv been using it for about 3 months now and I’m sure I’m using it right, but it’s still messy. Which isn’t an issue when I’m at home, but again I wouldn’t honestly use this when I go out. You need to empty it, wash/rinse it, wash your hands, then reinsert it, wash hands again. I don’t see how you can do that in a public restroom. But for at home, it does do the job it’s intended To do. Now for the flex disk, it went in easier than the cup, BUT I must have a short V, because I felt it hit my cervix and it felt so weird trying to push it in enough to get behind my Pubic bone. But once it was in, I was good. Although idk how people could have sex with it in, it’s not THAT comfortable. Now removal.... with the cup, you pull strait down and catch the cup in your fingers and dump it, this disk, you need to hook with your finger and pull out under your pubic bone. Well....... I couldn’t hook it! Lol I was so scared but eventually I did, and since you have to hook and pull down and out, ALL the blood poured out and ran down my arm. Talking, Carrie prom scene. I scared myself lol. Luckily I was home and it fell in the toilet. Also, I never used the disk again since it came with 2 😂. But it was nice to try something new! Even though the cup is a little messy, I think I will stick to that and using a liner, since it cuts down on period product cost monthly! Also, 2 things I do love 100% is that it’s black and won’t stain, and the O on the string to put your finger through to pull! So all in all, 80% love the cup.

LOVE LOVE LOVE FLEX CUP!!!!!! I have been a pads girly my whole menstruating life. When I was in my early 20s, I developed an allergy to the pads I had “ALWAYS” used. It was awful. I switched to all natural disposables for a few years and then switched to reusable pads which I LOVE! But I got tired of having to rinse them out and clean them. It gets to be a bit much if you’re on a heavy period. I tried the Viv cup a few years ago. Didn’t work for me and scared the 💩 outa me so I didn’t try another cup until recently. I ordered the pixie cup and discovered that I have a high cervix. I couldn’t get it out. My husband had to get it out for me. I researched cups for a high cervix that also had a ring and came upon Flex. This has been the best experience ever! I love her. I don’t feel it when it’s in, mess free, easy to insert with the punch down fold and super easy to remove because when you pull on the ring, it breaks the seal for you which is a total game changer as someone with a high cervix and short fingers. I can insert it and I’m set for 12 hours. This paired with my meds for my cramps and I can almost forget I’m on my period.

This product is Amazing! Now I don't mind this monthly occurrence anymore. I have been a long term tampon user and gave this ago. It's so nice and flexible and soft and easy to insert. It really works. It lasts much longer than a tampon so going out and avoiding public toilets becomes a possibility. It is better for the environment too. It will last a good 10 years and replace a few thousand tampons and pads. Keep playing with the cup until you find the right spot for your body. I still use a tiny liner for those minor stains that may result from moving or running - a single toilet sheet will do the job too. After the second time I used my blood clots stopped and now the flow is so easy. I recommend the full cup for anyone. Better to wear it all day long rather than having to change half way. Customer service is excellent. If you need support just email them and they give you plenty of tips. Packaging is lovely. I have been giving them to my friends as gift to encourage better environmental footprint.

I have been using menstrual cups for over 10 years now and I absolutely couldn't imagine going back. I have one that I prefer and it's getting old and needs replacing, so I read about alternatives and I found Flex. I can't tell you how impressed I am! The stem is easy to find and very flexible. It is also moveable and helps break the seal. Other than writing an essay to explain it all. Just buy this one. you will never buy any other. Its quite literally the best menstrual cup I have ever tried by FAR and I've tried many! I would like to sincerely thank the designers on such an amazing job and making women's life easier.

I recently purchased my first ever cup and it was a traumatic experience. It made its way really high and was impossible for me to get out. I saw that this flex cup had a loop that you could pull to remove so I thought I'd give it a go. I've managed to remove it easily each time, even when it has decided to move really high. Such a relief! I've knocked a star off just because it does get a little messy during removal due to the hole. It's worth remembering that you shouldn't pull too hard as you end up pulling the plug through. Honestly though the small mess is worth it compared to the embarrassing removal I had with my first cup!

Beginning with this was a bit hard. I've been using cups for over 10 years at this point and this has it's pros and cons . +It's easier to remove +It's quite easy to clean +It doesn't feel if it's inserted correctly -it's prone to leaks -if you pull it out too hard, the pulling "cord" gets stuck

I used it for one whole period. Now after the second period, the cup does not want to return to its original position. It just sits like in the pictures - no matter what I do to turn it back how it was. Maybe I am too agressive :D If this was a normal cup without the "patented stem", I could still use it, and now I have to look for a new one that won't distort. It ended up nicely in the trash, where it belongs.
