How different could they be?

Flex Ed

Body-ody-ody 101.

Meet Gina, our anatomical supermodel. We demo our period disc with Gina a lot and figured we’d give ya a guide to what is what. We love hearing from you, let us know what you want to learn next!

For those who are new to our period disc, here’s a couple reasons why people are switching to Flex Disc:
1. It’s body-safe, no lead, arsenic, or PFAS
2. You get 12-hr leak protection (1 Flex Disc = the capacity of 5+ super tampons)

There’s a new pad in town!

We figured we’d show you, instead of just telling you how absorbent our pads are.

Finally, a pad that provides superior leak protection without being a straight up diaper. With quick absorption, you’ll feel dryer and fresher on your period.

You’re gonna want to write this down “get Flex Bamboo Pads at Target!!!” See ya there!

Ever used a tampon on a light flow??

It can kinda feel like shoving dry cardboard up there eek not to mention that cotton can fray!!

Cue period discs.

1 Flex Disc is the equivalent of 5+ super tampons, aka you can go up to 12 hours before having to change your Flex Disc. Period discs are gaining popularity because they’re great for every flow (light, average, and even heavy periods).

Do u know what your cervix looks like??

The images on slide 1 show donuts and healthy cervixes (ages 21-35, never given birth) at different points in the menstrual cycle and yes, they can look shockingly similar to a glazed donut. Don’t forget, your cervix shifts in height, texture, and appearance all month long.

Learning to check your own can help you:
1. Track your cycle
2. Understand your fertility
3. Find the best period product for your body (especially if you use a period disc or cup)
4. Take charge of your cervical health

Outside of a little icing… think we won! What should we do next??

Period discs are a lot less intimidating than you think. The learning curve is definitely worth it bc with Flex Disc, you get 12-hr leak protection (the equivalent of about 5+ super tampons), plus many people find it more comfortable than a tampon bc it sits higher in the fornix.
