Yep, it’s a thing.

Flex Cup is a 100% reusable, non-toxic period cup made with medical-grade silicone (aka not cotton that traps odors).

Here are some tips to clean your menstrual cup!

Every 12 hours, rinse with warm water + a mild soap like Flex Foaming Cleanser.

Don’t forget to de-thread and re-thread the pull-tab of your Flex Cup (takes seconds, worth it).

Sanitize once a month (after your cycle):
1. Empty + rinse
2. De-thread the pull-tab (only Flex Cup has it! Keep reading to find out why.)
3. Place in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes (don’t let it touch the pot sides/bottom)
4. Cool, re-thread, stash in a pouch (our cups come with a cute one!)

Hot tip: Many users keep 2 cups around to make life easier.

BTW, that pull-tab? It’s patented and breaks the seal (suction) for you—total game-changer.

Proper care = longer lifespan for your cup. Flex Cup & Reusable Disc = better for you, your wallet, and the planet. Win-win.

And real talk: if you ever notice a foul smell (esp. with other symptoms), pause cup use and talk to your doc. Hygiene matters. #periodcup #menstrualcup #femininehygiene #odorremoval #girltips #menstrualhealth #menstrualcups

Our top tips for less messy #perioddisc removal!

#1 Relax. Your vagina is surrounded by muscles. Relaxing those muscles, makes for smoother removal.

#2 Keep the #menstrualdisc level. This is simple, but so effective!

#3 The toilet is not your only option, try doing a deep squat and removing your period disc in your shower. So fresh and so clean!

#4 Flex Disc can self-empty when you pee, so by the time you remove it, you most likely won’t have a full disc anyways.

#5 Remove slow and steady. It won't add much time, literally seconds, but it works!

Biohack your period with these fun & easy tips!

For headaches, try seed cycling—flax + pumpkin seeds in the first half of your cycle, sunflower +
sesame in the second. It may help support hormone balance and reduce headaches over time.

When you’re feeling moody, magnesium can help take the edge off. Load up on foods like dark
chocolate, spinach, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.

If you’re on the edge of crashing out, try NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest)—you lie down and listen to
a calming voice guide you through breathing + body relaxation. It’s not a nap, but it helps your
brain recharge like one.

To deflate belly bloat, go for potassium-rich foods like bananas, avocados, sweet
potatoes, and coconut water. They help balance fluids and ease that puffy feeling.

When brain fog makes it hard to focus, eat tyrosine-rich foods like eggs, almonds, and bananas. Tyrosine supports dopamine production, which may help with focus when progesterone is
messing with your clarity.

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
