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)

we’re all for strutting your tampon string, but worrying about leaks every couple hours is not the beach day vibe.

Flex Disc gives you the freedom of 12-hour leak protection, plus it sits higher than a tampon for more comfort! Our period disc has the capacity of 5+ super tampons, making it great for even heavy flows.

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

“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!
