5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY menstrual cup that I can use comfortably and works flawlessly!

I use tampons through the day, menstrual cups for my long 12hr shifts, and pads or menstrual cups for sleep. I have gravitated towards menstrual cups because of the environmental impact of pad/tampon waste. The other benefits are also that you don't have to spend money every month when you get your periods (just reuse these for every period, no need to buy more. And I have a little sterilizer at home to keep it nice and clean). They also have a MUCH longer wear time, so it is great for sleeping comfortably or, as I mentioned, my long 12 hour shifts with barely any time for breaks.The first time I tried a menstrual cup, it was a different brand and it was absolutely horrendous!! Definitely a learning curve, but also since it suctions onto your cervix, It was painful/miserable to remove! I almost thought I was going to have to get it removed at my OBGYN lol. But I didn't give up, and I bought the Flex cup. What is so great about it is that it has a suction release tab on it, so I have NEVER had any issue taking this out. It is easy to insert and remove, has a little loop to grab onto making it even easier to pull out, fits perfectly and feels like I am wearing nothing.I DID have some leaks which was a huge disappointment BUT that was before I got a bigger size (when I bought this, I had never had any kids and was in my mid 20s so I thought the smaller one would suit me). I swallowed my pride and got a bigger one, it's still easy to place, and it has never leaked for me. Lasts me the full 12 hours without any mess and feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. Yes, you may get some blood on your fingers with insertion and removal, but not in your underwear and that is a miniscule price to pay for the countless benefits of a menstrual cup.Overall, I highly recommend this menstrual cup and if you DO have leaks or if you hear of anyone that has had issues with these leaking, it likely isn't the product but the person. They just need a bigger size (speaking from experience).Hope this helps!

I’ve used a lot of different cups, but this one is probably my favorite! I have issues with them not opening up when inserted, so I tend to look for a firmer rubber. This one is just firm enough to not be uncomfortable but able to open up with minimal adjustments. Plus, they have the little pull tab that helps fold it and break suction so it’s easier to remove, which I love! It’s a little more difficult to clean but it’s totally worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars So easy to use!

I’m young and living with joint pain, in particular in my hands. Period products are a constant frustration for me because I clot, which just doesn’t do with tampon strings, I hate the feeling of pads, and my cervix is so stupidly high that discs are a nightmare (and a literal pain in my hands) to remove. So I have turned to cups.In general for me, cups aren’t horrible to remove. However, if I’m having a pain flare, I want the easiest thing possible. This is it… sort of. It’s not perfect. I’m not confident I wouldn’t bleed through after 10 hours with just a panty liner. I don’t know if it’s that the cup (I got Size 01 and have yet to give birth) is smaller in diameter than all others I’ve used, if I bleed over the rim when I pull to remove, or if it leaks down the middle where the hole is, but it’s not the cleanest wear nor removal. It’s not as messy as a disc, but the Saalt cup was much cleaner.I think because of my high cervix, I was never irritated by the pull tab. The cup did ride higher up than where I placed it, but was still easy to reach and remove without having to contort my hand into uncomfortable/painful positions to get the cup out.My Goldilocks cup removes like this one but is otherwise just like a Saalt cup. What I’ll probably do is use this cup + a period panty on my flare-up days and the Saalt on heavier/Good Pain days.TLDR —PROS:- catches most of it.- when paired with period panties, 10 hours without bleed-through to pants.- easy to reach the pull-tab.- pain-free removal (for my hands and my cervix; the suction breaks well for me).CONS:- leakage?- and/or spillage over the rim during removal?- maybe both.- smaller and stiffer than the Saalt cup (Size 01 for the Flex and size Regular/soft menstrual cup for the Saalt).- not as clean to remove as other cups.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just make the switch!

Stop hesitating and make the switch! Not only is it much better for your body than tampons, but it also has so many other pros! I overall feel better on my periods comparing them to tampons. It seems as though I don’t have to have the cup in as many days as I would have to have tampons in. I don’t know if this happens for everyone but it does for me. You really can go ALL day with it in before you dump it. You CANT feel it when you have it in correctly. I admit, I was totally nervous and worried the whole time I had it in the first time I used it, but YOU WILL figure it out in no time. There are so many informational videos and diagrams/instructions that you will quickly figure out which fold and stance method works for your body. When it’s in correctly, there will be NO LEAKS. I’ve done intense workouts with it in and still had no leaks! I’ll never go back. Flex cup until menopause for me haha

Amazing Product- Excellent Customer Service

Now I don't mind this monthly occurrence anymore. I have been a long term tampon user and gave this ago. It's so nice and flexible and soft and easy to insert. It really works. It lasts much longer than a tampon so going out and avoiding public toilets becomes a possibility. It is better for the environment too. It will last a good 10 years and replace a few thousand tampons and pads.Keep playing with the cup until you find the right spot for your body. I still use a tiny liner for those minor stains that may result from moving or running - a single toilet sheet will do the job too. After the second time I used my blood clots stopped and now the flow is so easy.I recommend the full cup for anyone. Better to wear it all day long rather than having to change half way.Customer service is excellent. If you need support just email them and they give you plenty of tips.Packaging is lovely. I have been giving them to my friends as gift to encourage better environmental footprint.

The pull tab is a game changer for those with a high cervix

C. · November 9, 2023

I recently purchased my first ever cup and it was a traumatic experience. It made its way really high and was impossible for me to get out. I saw that this flex cup had a loop that you could pull to remove so I thought I'd give it a go. I've managed to remove it easily each time, even when it has decided to move really high. Such a relief! I've knocked a star off just because it does get a little messy during removal due to the hole. It's worth remembering that you shouldn't pull too hard as you end up pulling the plug through. Honestly though the small mess is worth it compared to the embarrassing removal I had with my first cup!

It works when it works, when it doesn't...

Beginning with this was a bit hard. I've been using cups for over 10 years at this point and this has it's pros and cons .+It's easier to remove+It's quite easy to clean+It doesn't feel if it's inserted correctly-it's prone to leaks-if you pull it out too hard, the pulling "cord" gets stuck

It got distorted.

D. · May 20, 2023

I used it for one whole period. Now after the second period, the cup does not want to return to its original position. It just sits like in the pictures - no matter what I do to turn it back how it was. Maybe I am too agressive :D If this was a normal cup without the "patented stem", I could still use it, and now I have to look for a new one that won't distort. It ended up nicely in the trash, where it belongs.

Two years later….

I purchased this in January 2023 and have been using it for 2 years now. A day ago I noticed an awful smell coming from the silicone material, I thought it was me and even went to the doctors! Turns out it must disintegration of the material but it smells like burnt tar. Really disappointed, didn’t know there was a shelf life on these things and had a really scary 48hrs thinking I had an unknown infection. Apart from that- the product is brilliant and has not let me down at all. I have better periods and they also because more regular and pain free.
