Flex Reusable Menstrual Disc

A: Try soaking it in a jar or dish with hydrogen peroxide and any stains usually come right off. That's my experience with any sort of reusable disc or cup I've used over the last 6 or so years. Cheers!

A: Hi KO, thanks for your question! The Flex Reusable Disc has no added colorants, so it may show stains on the outside of the disc. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about

A: Hi there - thanks for your question! We get it - removal can be a little intimidating in the beginning, but it does get easier with practice. To remove the disc, we recommend sitting on the toilet and bearing down gently like you do to poo to help bring the disc lower, then use a clean finger to hook under the rim and slowly pull it out while keeping it level to minimize any mess. If it feels stuck, we recommend taking a few deep breaths and relax your pelvic muscles, tension can make it harder to remove as the muscles can tighten. If you want more tips, you can check out our website www.flexfits.com and the videos on our youtube channel! Also feel free to reach out to us at help@flexfits.com. We’re here to help always!

A: Hi there - great question! When your Flex Disc is inserted properly, it shouldn't shift or leak. Self-emptying happens when you bear down gently while seated on the toilet. The act of bearing down is what pops the front edge of the disc out from behind the pubic bone, allowing some of the contents to empty into the toilet. Simply squatting or bending will not dislodge a properly positioned disc. We have a ton of athletes, including powerlifters and even olympians, who use our products with great success! We recommend doing Kegels a few times throughout the day, especially when sitting for long hours or working out, to help keep the disc securely in place. Also, if you have an especially heavy flow, emptying your disc more frequently will help prevent the disc from overfilling and dislodging. If you have any other questions you can always reach out to us direclty at help@flexfits.com or text us at 800-931-0882

A: Hi Louise - thanks for reaching out with your questions! Both the reusable and the disposable discs have a self-emptying feature, which means that you do not need to fully remove the disc to empty it, even on your heavy flow days! To use the self-emptying feature you will want to gently bear down when you are using the restroom. This will pop the front edge of the disc out from behind the pubic bone, allowing some of the contents to empty into the toilet. When you are finished, use a clean finger to tuck the disc back up behind the pubic bone. Some folks also find that doing a kegel after self-emptying works - but with both reusable and disposable discs you want to make sure it is back behind the pubic bone or you might experience leaking afterwards. Both discs function in the same way - the only difference is the reusable offers a slightly higher capacity of 6 super tampons instead of the disposable disc capacity of 5 super tampons. Different folks prefer one product over the other for various comfort and lifestyle choices, but the size, shape, and key features are all the same. If you have any other questions, or need any help with troubleshooting, you can always reach out to us directly at help@flexfits.com!

A: Hi J, tons of Flex Disc users have IUDs and discs are IUD friendly! We recommend chatting with your doc if you have any concerns before wearing internally worn products as they'll have a better idea of how your IUD is positioned with your unique anatomy in order to give a recommendation. 🙂 Email us at help@flexfits.com or text 800-931-0882 for more support!
