flex disc

I was super skeptical about trying anything other than a tampon. I’m allergic to pads so I’ve used tampons for most of my periods. After developing Interstitial Cystitis I was left with severe chronic pelvic pain and tampons became super painful to use. My Pelvic Floor Physical therapist gave me a few flex cups to take with me and try. I was concerned that they would still cause pain. It just looked really uncomfortable. However I can honestly say I’m in love with these flex cups! The flex cup never adds additional pain to what I’m already experiencing, It’s so comfortable I sometimes forget I even have one on, there is little to no leaking. Maybe some slight blood when I wipe but nothing crazy, and this is a way cheaper option than period panties! I always recommend these!

I’ve been using the FlexDisc for awhile but hadn’t yet embraced the idea of using them during any bedroom action. I took the (literal) plunge yesterday during the reddest of possible red days and there wasn’t a Single. Drop. Anywhere. And…we weren’t exactly gentle with it. Where have you been all my life?

I have PCOS and have only had a period once every year or so for most of my life unless I used hormone treatment. I'm now 38 and have had a monthly period for the last 9 months. I know part of my problem was that I wasn't used to having a period, but it's also the only time I experience gender dysphoria. I feel my body isn't mine when I'm on my period and having to change products regularly. Then came the flex disc! I originally intended to use a cup but got a size that was too large, so I tried the disposable disc that came with the cup. WORLD CHANGER! My cramps were reduced, I didn't have as much mess, it wasn't as uncomfortable, I could insert and remove easily on light days, and not worrying about my product for 12 hours helped the dysphoria more than I can say! I'm only giving it four stars because it was a little too firm for my liking, but switching to the reusable disc fixed that issue perfectly.

I don't know what the problem is, I've tried inserting it in every position I can. sitting, one leg up, laying down in several positions. the diagram shows there should be room for your finger to go in before hitting it but it sits right inside the opening no matter what I do, aside from trying to fist myself not pinch or pushing makes it go in any further and it pops out when I sit down to pee (like sticks out of my vagina). I use menstrual cups normally and thought it would be like them but this thing is huge! why is it so big around? how on earth are you suppost to get it to stay inside?????? not buying again and mad that I have a whole box of useless items.
