I could probably get past the cleaning hassle but the inability to trim or tuck the stem is a hard pass for me.
To make sure the cup has popped open fully, insert a finger into your vagina and run it around the outside of the cup, feeling for any pleats or indentations. You may need to insert another finger afterwards to pull and tuck the rim of the disc up behind your pubic bone.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). Because Flex Disc sits the vaginal fornix, it leaves the vaginal canal unobstructed—which means sex is on the table all month long. The first menstrual disc on the market, Softdisc—still a part of the Flex family of brands—is a single-use, disposable product. Flex Cup is a 100% reusable, zero-waste product that can save you hundreds of dollars over its lifetime. You don’t have to worry about losing the stem, as it’s still attached to the cup, but it adds a little more work, as you need to inspect the hole for debris, then slide the stem back into place.
Rinse your disc in cool water first—this will help prevent odor and staining of the medical-grade silicone.Unlike the Reusable Disc, Flex Cup is worn towards the middle or bottom of the vaginal canal and is held in place with suction. Another way to think about engaging your pelvic floor is to imagine you’re hitting the “eject” button for your vagina and push your disc forward. The Reusable Disc simply needs to be cleaned with a mild soap in between wears and prior to storing. As for the difficult to clean part…I don’t think that’s fair because I use this product (I’m on day two with it) and honestly its not a hassle especially when it can be worn for twelve hours.
The way your menstrual disc will work with a tilted cervix or uterus (AKA a retroverted uterus) really depends on your unique anatomy. Fledglings is part of the Contact Family and each purchase you make helps us to provide support and advice for families with disabled children. Most are made with silicone (Flex Cup is made with 100% medical-grade silicone, just like Flex Reusable Disc). It sits in the vaginal fornix, all the way at the back of the vagina, and collects your menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it.Flex Cup provides up to 12 hours of leak protection and has a velvety-soft feel to maximize comfort. Flex Cup is available in two sizes; Flex menstrual discs are available in one size designed to fit most vaginas. However, the vaginal canal isn't that long, so most users can still feel their menstrual disc with their index or middle finger after it's been inserted all the way. If you can easily feel your disc or if it feels like it’s getting in the way, you may need to reposition it. This will help you maximize your wear time to the full 12 hours (even on your heaviest days) without needing to remove or change your disc.
Hi, I'm Amanda (she/they), the human behind Put A Cup In It, a revolutionary platform breaking taboos surrounding periods and empowering individuals to make informed choices about their menstrual health. To do it, simply push one side of the cup’s rim down towards the base with your thumb, then pinch the sides together. Flex gummies can be taken in combination with one another to help address your real symptoms and struggles to comfort you throughout your entire menstrual cycle. All disposable discs offered by Flex are made with medical-grade polymers and can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time (after 12 hours, they must be removed and thrown away). Previously, she worked with a multitude of outlets such as Wirecutter, TIME, PCMag, Prevention, The Atlantic, Reviews.I'm a person who has dexterity issues, and I have to use my feet for most things one would use their hands for. This design makes Flex Cup beginner-friendly, more accessible for those with disabilities, and perfect for IUD users.
