Okay we wanna clear something up...

Yes, people need to stop calling women “crazy” for having emotions... enough already! 🙄

THIS is what’s actually going on hormonally:
🔻 Estrogen + testosterone are both low during your period
🔺 Testosterone peaks during ovulation (yes, women naturally produce it too—it plays a key role in libido, energy, and mood)!

We’re all about learning. Period science > period stigma.

Share if you’re done with the “it’s all in your head” narrative.

For real tho… What does the G in G-string stand for??? Groin? Gusset? Girdle? “Gives you a wedgie”?

Hold up! What does it mean “The Flex Cup breaks the seal for you??”
⁠
Allow us to explain. When you gently pull on the pull-tab, the cup folds on itself allowing for it to be easily removed without creating suction. Essentially, you are able to remove Flex Cup like a tampon. This is one of the reasons why Flex Cup is not like the rest of the period cups you might have tried.

We know suction can be scary and that’s why we designed our cup to be beginner-friendly.

We don’t want anything stopping you from being able to enjoy non-toxic, body-safe period care! Plus, it’s pretty cool you can wear our cup for up to 12 hours without having to worry about leaks.

Let’s compare!

Flex Disc can hold 60mL of fluid vs pads and tampons can typically only hold around 9-12 mL of fluid. Even “super” pads and tampons can often only hold around 12-15 mL of fluid. On top of that, you can wear Flex Disc for up to 12 hours.

Imagine, leaving the home the entire day without having to change out your period product or being able to go a whole night without the fear of needing to change out a tampon at 4am.

Flex Disc has the capacity of 5+ super tampons + 12-hour leak protection, making it one of the best period products for heavy flows.

What’s worse? Spirit Airlines, tax season, or an on-camera Zoom call?

Adulting can be a nightmare, but our Chill Pill gummies are here to help you keep your cool!

Stress and anxiety are some of the top causes of poor sleep quality. So we’re celebrating #worldsleepday with less stress, more Zzz’s!

While our gummies don’t come with a dog, your fave Rhode lipgloss, or an Erewhon smoothie… They do come with these evidence-backed ingredients:

Ashwagandha
An adaptogenic herb used for thousands of years to help support relaxation and focus to get through life’s daily stressors.

GABA
Feeling short-tempered? This amino acid is best known for supporting a zen-like calm for the body and mind.

L-Theanine
An amino acid found in tea leaves commonly recommended for dialing down jittery feelings to support focus and clarity.

Lemon Balm
An herb traditionally used for centuries to promote relaxation, relieve feelings of restlessness, and upgrade your vibe to ‘calm and collected.’

Chamomile
A widely popular herb best known for its calming qualities that can soothe uneasiness and quiet the mind.

It’s not just in your head! Your brain changes during your cycle, making you more susceptible to frustrating PMS and period symptoms like cravings, pain, brain fog, and more.

The good news? We can use a root-cause approach to help soothe these symptoms. Keep these tips top of mind during your next cycle.

Curb cravings: Aim for 25 grams of fiber every day—especially when PMS strikes. Fiber-rich foods like ground flax seeds, beans and lentils, and whole grains will help your body eliminate excess estrogen, keep you full for longer, and quiet those sugar cravings (well, at least some of them!)

Get a mental boost: Support energy levels during your luteal phase with micronutrients including iron, vitamin B (all forms), vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc. Low-impact movement and a consistent sleep schedule can also help improve your mood, reduce brain fog, and fight fatigue.

Relieve period pain: Magnesium helps to relax muscles while omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, making both supplements a great choice if you’re struggling with cramps and period pain.

Flex and Parsley Health have teamed up to deliver body-safe period solutions and whole body care beyond the basics. That means Parsley members enjoy exclusive discounts on Flex products, while Flex users get special deals on Parsley’s exceptional root-cause care.
