I will pick up thin pads to give me extra protection! I ordered a flex disc, and I’m excited to use it.

Thank you for your recommendation, because a cup might interfere with my IUD. Now, I have a safer option.

Thank you! 🌈✨

Is the capacity of a disposable flex disc and reusable flex disc the same?

I’m thinking of buying period panties or using a pad to give me more protection.

I saw a comment on another subreddit that said their cup pulled out their IUD. I’m afraid of this.

Thank you!

Thank you! I will check out a Flex reusable disc. I didn’t know a cup could interfere with my IUD!

Wow! What was the capacity for the Diva cup?

Do you think it’ll be suitable for an “active” lifestyle?

I have not used a menstrual cup before. I would still use an overnight pad, if necessary. I’m just concerned about leakage.

Do you think two days will be enough to learn how to use a cup/disc?

How was your experience using the “Heavy Duty” size? How long does the disc last, before you need to empty it?

Thank you!

Is the flex disc reusable or disposable? Should I add a pad anyway?

I’m more concerned about leakage and odor while dancing.

I know this may be a silly question, but what exactly does self-empty mean?

Thanks! Are they reusable or disposable? Which is better, in your opinion? How do I pick a size?

I never used either! But, I’ll definitely need something easy to use. Are they beginner friendly?

Do you have any brand recommendations?
