Flex Plant Plus Disc | Plant-Based Disposable Period Discs | Tampon and Cup Alternative | Capacity of 5 Super Tampons | Menstrual Disc Made with Sustainable Medical-Grade Plant Polymers | 12 Count

I. Love. These. I didn't have to deal with periods for over a decade, so I am essentially brand new to this whole business at 30-something (cups, discs, and period underwear were not options back then!). I wanted an alternative to tampons and pads, and was considering cups but liked the idea of something that could stay in during sex. It took me two days (and a nail reshaping, because long stiletto nails are not your friend here) to really understand the mechanics, but after that I had no issues at all! No leaking during normal activities, and putting a fresh one in right before sex led to a truly revolutionary, no-mess situation.Yes, I did send several texts the next morning telling my friends to try them.They didn't seem to help me with cramps, but they were certainly more comfortable than tampons. I literally could not feel them - no discomfort, no pressure, nothing. Amazing. I love that you can keep them in for up to 12 hours and that they create less waste than other disposable options. For me, definitely worth the higher pricetag.

If tampons or the cup are not your thing, but you hate pads, these are the answer! I have used these for nearly five years now. They hold a lot of fluid, but you can empty it without removing it (because who wants to do THAT in a public bathroom?).I do sometimes experience very small leaks if it is very full, and some 'overflow' after emptying, so I would still not wear my white denim shorts during a heavy day, but there is no string to hide, and no uncomfortable dry wad to cringe about. You never have to boil them, and you can wear them up to 12 hours. There is a very short learning curve (it took me three periods to feel confident enough to stop wearing backup pads) but once you're comfortable with insertion, they are completely unnoticeable.

These discs are game changers! Tampons are very irritating to my sensitive skin and pads are just uncomfortable. I decided to try these and after that, never looked back! It's easy to learn to use them correctly and once you do, they are a no-brainer. Love that the wear time is 12 hours! I would love a reusable version of this that works as well as the disposable ones. A bit of a heads up though, be careful wearing these while heavy lifting! Sometimes they will dislodge from their resting place if you lift heavier items. But for everyday wear they are perfect! Highly recommend!

My body has started rejecting any kind of tampon no matter the brand. Before buying a silicone disc I wanted to try these to see if it was something that worked for me. Happy to report these worked amazing. I will say if you have a heavier flow at the beginning of your period wear a panty liner or pad until you've mastered the position of the disc, and learned how your body responds to it. I did have some leakage but I think it was just the adjustment and learning how my body did with the disc. I noticed when I went pee the disc would sometimes move forward and break the seal (now its supposed to be self emptying and for me for the most part was) however I think as my muscles pushed it forward the seal broke and all it took was a slight push back to reset things and get the seal. No mess super easy. I also will caution anyone who has nails, you could potentially poke the plastic and rip it which will cause leaking. All in all I will be moving forward with discs. You cant feel them, they hold a lot, and so easy to insert and remove with no pain at all.

The media could not be loaded. This product has it's pros and cons. I love that they're environmentally friendly (including packaging), soft and flexible and easy to insert and remove.I did notice the difference between these and the original version and they are as follows:* Outer ridge is softer and smoother than original* Less uncomfortable when removing* Suction power is not as great as original* The disc tilted when I used the bathroom so, I had to push it back into place* Experienced minor leakage and had to wear a liner as backupI will continue to use what's left but will most likely go back to the original disc.*IMPORTANT NOTE*Everyone's experience is a little different and there's a bit of a learning curve but, if you are familiar with your body, it just takes a little practice. Also keep in mind that some people's cervixes are positioned differently than others so, this could be the reason for tilting and leakage.

I love these! For me these are so much more comfortable than tampons, and if placed correctly no issues with leaking. I was a little intimidated at first but they are so much easier to use than I thought they would be!
