“but i have a heavy flow”

I know it’s hard to believe that just 1 period cup could cover you for up to 12 hours, but it’s true. Our Flex Cup (size 02) is the equivalent of 3 super tampons. Period cups (and discs) are actually one of the top recommended products to use if you have heavy periods.

If you’ve heard suction horror stories, we bet you haven’t heard one about Flex Cup! And that’s because we have a patented pull-tab that breaks the seal for you. Our pull-tab allows you to remove your period cup like a tampon, making removal easy and familiar.

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.

Who’s got beach day tips??

Beach day x our period disc is that girl

This is not a cup, it’s a disc, and it gives you 12 hours of leak protection. Meaning, you can go in + out of the water as you please without running to the bathroom to switch out your tampon. You can even sunbathe for hours (you might get sunburn, but you probs won’t leak).

Pads are a hard pass for water activities, soggy tampon strings that don’t stay put are just not it, and free bleeding can be stressful.

Basically, Flex discs are hi-key the most comfortable menstrual products out there!

🥵 Periods hit different when it’s 90+ degrees out. More sweat, more cramps, more fatigue and your flow might feel heavier too.

But, no sweat, we teamed up with @parsleyhealth to give you our best tips for keeping your cool during these hot days!

Normalize the front fart!

P.S. it’s not even a fart, it’s just air getting trapped and escaping. No smell, just a beautiful soundscape.

Who feels like they lose a gallon of blood every period??

Turns out the average amount of blood lost per day on our periods is around 12mL.

BUT for those of us in the heavy flow club, we got a tip! Try a menstrual cup. Flex Cup comes in 2 sizes. Size 1 has the capacity of 22mL (2 super tampons) and size 2 has the capacity of 30mL (3 super tampons).

And before you write off a period cup because of suction, we already gotchu! Our cup has a patented pull-tab that breaks the suction for you!! It basically removes like a tampon, but unlike a tampon, you can wear our menstrual cups for up to 12 hours.
