Review: Great Alternative to Tampons and Cups - I've tried pretty much every period product out there (pads, tampons, menstrual cups, and menstrual discs) and i use them all. sometimes I even use two products together (pad+tampon my go to duo), depending on where I'm going and how heavy my flow is that day. there isn't one perfect option for every situation, and I switch between them depending on what I'm doing. the first time I tried the flex menstrual disc was before a brazilian laser hair removal appointment. i knew a tampon or menstrual cup would technically be fine, but I still wasn't comfortable with the possibility of the tampon string or the little stem of the menstrual cup being visible. even though the cup sits higher inside the body, the stem can sometimes peek out when your pelvic muscles are relaxed, like when you're lying on your back in the butterfly position. since the menstrual disc sits differently and doesn't have anything hanging outside the body, it seemed like the perfect solution. I inserted the disc around 8 a.m. before heading to work and completely forgot it was there. i went through my entire workday, had my laser appointment later that afternoon, and everything went perfectly. it was comfortable, completely invisible, and I never felt like it was there. i was honestly impressed. the only downside came later. i got home around 6 p.m., and the second I got out of my car, it suddenly started leaking. it was honestly a disaster and pretty disappointing. looking back, though, I had been wearing the same disc for about 10 hours on a fairly heavy-flow day, so I probably just pushed it past its limit. even though discs can hold a lot, they're not magic. on heavier days, they still need to be emptied or changed regularly. i also have to mention that inserting and removing a menstrual disc can be pretty messy, especially on heavier days. unlike a tampon, you're definitely going to get your fingers dirty. removal can also be tricky because the disc sits tucked into a small pocket just behind your pubic bone. if it gets pushed a little farther back than usual, it can be difficult to reach the rim with your finger to hook it and pull it out. one thing I kept hearing before trying a menstrual disc was that you can have sex while wearing one. of course, I had to test it. i'll be honest, it didn't work out the way I expected. based on my experience, I think it might work for some couples, especially if your partner is smaller or if your anatomy is different. the disc kept getting pushed farther inside. with penetration, the disc kept getting pushed farther inside so I could barely reach it afterward. removing it became much more difficult than usual, and honestly, the whole experience wasn't worth it. if you're buying a menstrual disc mainly because you've heard you can have mess-free period sex with it, I'd keep your expectations realistic. I've also seen a lot of people say that menstrual discs help reduce period cramps. personally, I can't really agree or disagree with that because I usually don't get menstrual cramps, so I didn't notice any difference. overall, I'm really glad I tried the flex menstrual disc. it has become another option, especially for situations where I don't want a visible tampon string or menstrual cup stem. It's comfortable, holds a lot, and once you get used to inserting and removing it, it's easy to wear. just be mindful of how long you've had it in on heavy-flow days.
Review: Disc vs cup: TMI things to know from a long time user! - First off, I’ve been using both cups and menstrual discs for years. They. Are. The. Best. I bought light “period underwear” for small leaks which I only have to use on my heaviest days. More on that later. Both cups and discs are cramp-free. Read that again. No more cramps. I don’t know the magic but if cramps ruin your life this information might just save it. Totally worth the learning curve! You also shouldn’t feel them while you are wearing them. If you do, you should try a different one, since not all discs/cups are created equal! I started my journey with another brand of discs which I could feel and leaked frequently. This one is the best one I’ve personally tried, but know if you’re built differently then perhaps this one might be problematic for you, while another brand works perfectly. Don’t be afraid to experiment. For heavy bleeders: discs are great for those first couple of days or so. They self-empty when you go to the bathroom, which means you don’t have to ever switch out period products ever again in public bathrooms. Truly, you only need take it out at the end of the day and replace it with a new one! Easy peasy. Beginner friendly since they are disposable. No washing or sterilizing like the cup requires. I know that really grosses out some people. Just toss it. Downside is, you will have to buy them monthly just like most other period products. Not so with the cup (there are discs designed to be reused as well but I do not personally have experience with them, and this review is about this disposable one anyway). Let’s talk disc leakage. It should be minor, unless it gets dislodged during a restroom break. This is my biggest frustration with discs. Sometimes it’s good, but it’s recommended to check its placement after using the bathroom since it sometimes gets out of its place. If you don’t catch it, then it won’t do it’s job. Since they are designed to empty out you may find they might leak with, say, a badly timed sneeze or cough even if it’s in properly. Even so, a light back up pad is normally all you need in such circumstances unless it was very full to begin with. If you feel a leak starting, head to the bathroom. Most of the time that means it is overfull. A light liner is usually all you need for these leaks if caught right away. To sum up: discs are not totally leak-free, but that is actually what makes them so amazing for heavy bleeders, since they freely “leak” into the toilet. Unfortunately they can shift during that process so it’s not totally set-and-forget it, either. Oh wait. Period sex? There is DEFINITELY a learning curve with this. Not so much leak-wise (though I wouldn’t try it if it’s full), but the guy can feel it. Keep that in mind and start slow. There was a BIG difference in this area between this brand and the other one I have tried. This one wasn’t as “sharp”, although hubby is still not a fan so I’m not sure I can recommend it. Cups! Cups are virtually leak-free in every sense with the proper fit. They are not nearly as “one-size-fits-all”: shorter, taller, wider, skinnier, firmer, and softer versions means you may have to try multiple brands and styles before you find one that’s perfect for you. With a proper fit, you should not be able to feel it. They do not self-empty, which means you have to take them out, dump them, and reinsert if they get full. However, in my experience by day 2 or 3 you can easily go all day without having to dump it. I’m a heavy bleeder. If you are a light bleeder, you should be able to use the cup from day 1 for a leak-free period. Outside of the initial “cavity blood” making its way out (the stuff that was already there before you put the cup in - quite minor), you could honestly go without a liner and be good all day as long as your bleeding isn’t heavy enough to fill it up. After day 2 or 3, I normally do this myself. I wear regular underwear and not even a liner for back up. That’s how leak-free it is. With a cup, there should be no sign of your period until you dump it out at the end of the day. No cramps, no blood. 5 stars. You do have to wash it, so “dealing with it” is messier in that sense, maybe. They say to boil it on a stove to sterilize it between cycles, but I find throwing it in the dishwasher works great (it’s only after I’ve already washed it, but if that freaks you out then do what makes you comfortable). I recommend owning at least two cups to let them “breathe” between uses: I don’t personally use the same one non-stop for 7 days even with proper washing habits if I can avoid it. To sum up: I hand down prefer cups over discs on lighter days, because I can completely forget about it all day. No “reminders” when I go use the bathroom. On heavy days, I sometime do a cup, sometimes I do discs. A disc and light liner is easy to keep in your car or purse if you’re caught off-guard while you’re out. That’s it! Hope this has been helpful. Always happy to share TMI if I think it will help out. Try these discs out, you will love them!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best decision for always on the go
*by G***O on August 10, 2026*

These have saved me so many times!! I was worried at first because I have an IUD, but have never had any issues with it. I’ve hated having to estimate how many tampons to bring with me either at work or on a trip, but these keep it so simple for me. They’re easy to use, but can be a little messy if you have a heavy flow and it’s self emptying. Overall, my go to every month!
