The ONLY menstrual cup that I can use comfortably and works flawlessly!
I’m not a picky person, and I like to try all different kinds of menstrual products to find what works best for me and my lifestyle. 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!

Amazing
I’ve been a cup user for a while, and I gotta say that this is the best cup I’ve used so far. I used to use salt cups, but they were really hard to get out with nails and the “string” eventually broke off. However; with this cup, I can easily take it out with my long nails, and the cup sits and stays in the spot that you insert it in which is really nice. The only thing that I don’t exactly like about this cup is how thick it is, it makes it hard to fold, and it’s hard to clean the cup with the “string” inside the cup. Other than that I really recommend this cup to anyone who’s looking to switch or anyone that’s new to cups.

Best Cup on the Market for a High Cervix
LOVE LOVE LOVE FLEX CUP!!!!!! I have been a pads girly my whole menstruating life. When I was in my early 20s, I developed an allergy to the pads I had “ALWAYS” used. It was awful. I switched to all natural disposables for a few years and then switched to reusable pads which I LOVE! But I got tired of having to rinse them out and clean them. It gets to be a bit much if you’re on a heavy period. I tried the Viv cup a few years ago. Didn’t work for me and scared the 💩 outa me so I didn’t try another cup until recently. I ordered the pixie cup and discovered that I have a high cervix. I couldn’t get it out. My husband had to get it out for me. I researched cups for a high cervix that also had a ring and came upon Flex. This has been the best experience ever! I love her. I don’t feel it when it’s in, mess free, easy to insert with the punch down fold and super easy to remove because when you pull on the ring, it breaks the seal for you which is a total game changer as someone with a high cervix and short fingers. I can insert it and I’m set for 12 hours. This paired with my meds for my cramps and I can almost forget I’m on my period.

I was skeptical, but overall I like it.
I was curious, but very hesitant to buy a cup. After lots of research and not being able to consistently find my preferred cardboard tampons, I caved and bought the Flex cup. I liked the way the pull ring seemed to remove the suction problem I’d heard horror stories about. Eek!I’m not on my third cycle using the Flex and for the most part, I like it. It takes some getting used to putting it in. It’s much, much different than a tampon. I have had to experiment a bit and found that going back more than up is the trick. Also, the way you collapse/pinch it and how long you can keep it pinched makes a huge difference in placement. I have found that if I can align removal with my shower, that keeps everything easier and less messy. It sometimes slips the tiniest bit, but nothing too crazy. I can tell though. But if I get a good angle, it stays put for a solid 8 hours.I have had two large babies and have mostly heavy days. So far the Flex has handled my flow really well. Way better than the super tampons I would go through every 1-2 hours. No major leaks like what happens with tampons—I have felt the beginnings of leaking but the flex seems to give you more of a window to get that taken care of than tampons do.I like that this is more sustainable and affordable than a disposable option. It has cut my use of tampons way way down. I’m WFH right now which has made the transition easier; not sure how it would work if I had to change this at work/in public. That would be a major pain/mess. But if you time it right, you could definitely go a full work day without h I got to worry.I haven’t noticed the lack of cramps as some reviewers mentioned. Overall using a cup is much easier than I imagined, works well, is comfortable and feels healthier for my body and the environment. Would definitely buy another one.

This product is Amazing! 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.

I have been using menstrual cups for over 10 years now and I absolutely couldn’t imagine going back. I have one that I prefer and it’s getting old and needs replacing, so I read about alternatives and I found Flex. I can’t tell you how impressed I am! The stem is easy to find and very flexible. It is also moveable and helps break the seal. Other than writing an essay to explain it all. Just buy this one. you will never buy any other. Its quite literally the best menstrual cup I have ever tried by FAR and I’ve tried many! I would like to sincerely thank the designers on such an amazing job and making women’s life easier.

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!

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

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 😀 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.
