Flex Cup Starter Kit (Full Fit - Size 02) | Reusable Menstrual Cup + 2 Free Menstrual Discs | Pull-Tab for Easy Removal | Tampon + Pad Alternative | Lasts up to 10 Years | Capacity of 3 Super Tampons

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!

I'm not a picky person, and I like to try all different kinds of menstrual products to find what works best for me and my lifestyle. I use tampons through the day, menstrual cups for my long 12hr shifts, and pads or menstrual cups for sleep. I have gravitated towards menstrual cups because of the environmental impact of pad/tampon waste. The other benefits are also that you don't have to spend money every month when you get your periods (just reuse these for every period, no need to buy more. And I have a little sterilizer at home to keep it nice and clean). They also have a MUCH longer wear time, so it is great for sleeping comfortably or, as I mentioned, my long 12 hour shifts with barely any time for breaks. The first time I tried a menstrual cup, it was a different brand and it was absolutely horrendous!! Definitely a learning curve, but also since it suctions onto your cervix, It was painful/miserable to remove! I almost thought I was going to have to get it removed at my OBGYN lol. But I didn't give up, and I bought the Flex cup. What is so great about it is that it has a suction release tab on it, so I have NEVER had any issue taking this out. It is easy to insert and remove, has a little loop to grab onto making it even easier to pull out, fits perfectly and feels like I am wearing nothing. I DID have some leaks which was a huge disappointment BUT that was before I got a bigger size (when I bought this, I had never had any kids and was in my mid 20s so I thought the smaller one would suit me). I swallowed my pride and got a bigger one, it's still easy to place, and it has never leaked for me. Lasts me the full 12 hours without any mess and feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. Yes, you may get some blood on your fingers with insertion and removal, but not in your underwear and that is a miniscule price to pay for the countless benefits of a menstrual cup. Overall, I highly recommend this menstrual cup and if you DO have leaks or if you hear of anyone that has had issues with these leaking, it likely isn't the product but the person. They just need a bigger size (speaking from experience). Hope this helps!

I tried multiple period products and this is my favorite. Below is my personal review of the things I have tried: Mensural sponge Pros: Eco-friendly, works great, can leave in during sex (and you seriously can't feel it at all, my husband agreed) Just as (if not more absorbent) than a tampon . Cheap because they can be reused multiple times. Cons: Hurts to insert/remove (my biggest complaint) especially by the end of the cycle. Is meant to soak up fluids which makes it hard to be wet during sex. Tampons Pros: More discrete than a pad. Soaks things up well. Cons: Toxic shock syndrome. Bad for the environment. Have to change much more often than other alternatives. Pads Pros: Good for someone who is having their first period ever. Do not have to internally insert. It is pretty much the only thing you can use after pregnancy to clean up the blood. It prevents chaffing against your incision if you had a C-section (put the sticky part in the front of your underwear so the pad rests on your cut.) Note: I have not had any kids yet these are just things I have read. Cons: Chafing, bad for the environment, feels like you are wearing a diaper. Flex Disk Pros: you can leave it in for hours upon hours. You don't feel it when it is in you. You can leave it in during sex (neither my husband nor I could feel it except he said he could a little if he caught on it when first going in before I was wet. That said he never wanted me to take it out when I asked. But, make sure you put a clean one in or go without one before sex because the blood collects in it and you will break the seal if you have sex which means all that blood will go pouring out and will make a mess.) Cons: TMI but.....Leaks blood when you go to the bathroom since those muscles are working which means it also leaks blood if you fart. (Imagine leaving it in for multiple hours on a heavy day and then farting) Flex Cup Pros: You don't feel it when it is in you and you can leave it in pretty much the whole day. Good for the environment. Cheap because you can reuse it so many times. Cons: Sometimes will catch when you pull it out which hurts. Personally: I use the flex cup on heavy days and then either the flex cup or flex disk on light days (depends on if I am getting sore from removing the flex cup.) Ideally, I would use a flex cup on heavy days and a mensural sponge on lighter days but I dread removing them because both products start to hurt when you remove them after a few times (NOTE: there is no pain when they are actually inside me during my entire cycle it is only when removing and sometimes when inserting.)

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.
