🩸“I think it should be a topic of discussion.”
- @amberglenniceskater

We think so too! It’s about time we get real about periods.

Half the population has them, yet we’re expected to “not make it a thing”

Hearing athletes like Amber Glenn share honestly and unapologetically is the reminder we all need that periods are not “embarrassing”, they are not “TMI”, they are not “gross”. They’re real f*ck*ng life.

No matter how old you are, leaking is probably on your mind when you’re on your period.

Let’s talk about it!

We’re female-founded and actually making period products that are better than what we’ve had to put up with for years.

Our disc gives you up to 12 hours of leak protection and has the capacity of 6+ super tampons. Yes, we said 6!!

If you’ve tried a period disc before, but experienced leaking, most likely it’s just not in the correct spot. Our biggest tip is to make sure it’s all the way back (it’s a dead end, so we promise you it won’t get lost) and to tuck it behind your pubic bone.

We also have real people here to help you along the way!

We love hearing from ya’ll!! This is what dreams are made of. Side note: Anyone going to the Hilary Duff concert?!

If you’re new to Flex, here’s the TLDR. When you use our period disc you get 12 hours of leak protection + 97% of users surveyed didn’t even feel Flex Disc while using it.

Try using a period disc at home first or use a pad or liner as backup as you get used to a period disc. You can also practice insertion and removal when you’re not on your period, I found this to be super helpful.

Period Disc Benefits!
12-hr leak protection (can handle heavy periods)
Super comfortable, I don’t even feel it when it’s in
I get less period cramps when I use it
pH-friendly

Grossed out? Why? It’s tart cherry juice + periods are normal!

Most of us are going to get a lot of periods. Let’s talk about it.

We’re a female-founded company determined to make period week as enjoyable as all the other weeks. We created our reusable period disc because we were tired of using outdated and toxic period products.

This is why our period disc went viral.

Flex Reusable Disc has 12-hr leak protection, meaning you can go up to 12 hours without worrying about leaks because 1 disc is the equivalent of 6+ super tampons.

We designed our menstrual disc to help alleviate period cramps and you might want to set a timer because most people don’t even feel the disc inside themselves that’s how comfortable it is. So no matter if you’re going to the gym, the pool, or on a date, we got you!

We have a team dedicated to helping you step by step learn how to use our disc, feel free to ask questions here or connect with us directly.
