Here’s a self-care period tip… Try a menstrual disc!

I use Flex Disc because it’s comfortable, safe for my body, and I get up to 12 hours of leak protection. It’s great for all flows, heavy or light. On top of that, it doesn’t disrupt any of my daily activities, including my “sleepovers”.

I mean… Think we won, yeah?! Our Bamboo Super Pads are mega absorbent without the bulk, no diapers here! Superior leak protection, making them great for heavy flows. PLUS (yes, there’s more!), we use bamboo as it’s extremely soft, moisture-wicking, and helps fight odor naturally!

Name a better pad… I’ll wait

Newsflash: Your vagina isn’t supposed to smell like a lavender field!

Scented period care might seem “fresh”, but it could be throwing your whole system out of
balance. Itching? Burning? Cooling? Tingling? Even “natural” fragrances can mess with your delicate pH and microbiome.

“Fragrance” is often a cocktail of hidden chemicals (and yep, brands don’t have to tell you what’s
in it).

Get period care that actually cares. Your vagina’s got enough to deal with, a fragrance hangover
shouldn’t be one of them.

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.

Turns out, when you accidentally launch a year and a half of work early, all you can do is laugh, meme it, and own it. We’ll tell you everything on Monday. Pinky swear.

Until then… Enjoy this look of pure panic!
