Flex Plant Plus Disc - Hypoallergenic, 12-Hour Leak Protection, Made with Plant Polymers - 12 Count

Now we’re learning tampons and pads have toxic chemicals that you shouldn’t be putting inside of you…this newer option might be scary at first, but just get the courage and all you do is fold it up and stick it up there. If you think it’s not placed right, you can use your pelvic muscles and pop it back out. It leaks a little, just due to the imperfect seal, so wear a backup, this is still the best product I’ve found for my heavy flow!! And the way it actually will self empty on the toilet…this product is incredible. Makes something as miserable as periods so much more bareable.

I’m still getting used to the discs. They’re a little messy to take out. But I love that I can put one in and wear it all day. Also, so much better for you than using a tampon! I’ll deal with messy cleanup at the end of the evening

The first day was very messy. I didn't quite get the hang of it at first and had some issues with leaks. I also forgot to empty it in time, so I think that contributed to the leaking as well. But the second day I had the hang of how to insert and place it and how to empty it without taking it out (and to get it back in place after emptying) as well as how often to empty it. I wore a pad just in case, was wearing light colored pants, but it stayed clean all day. So glad I kept trying. I was ready to throw in the towel after the messy first day, but this product absolutely does what it's supposed to. I'll probably continue to use pads or liners, but could see myself becoming confident enough to go without if I needed to, like with a swimsuit. If you're trying this and it's the first day and you just haven't gotten the hang of it, give it a couple more days. Another tip, if you're having trouble figuring out whether it's in right, lying on your back then feeling for it can give you a better idea of where it is in relation to your pubic bone. I did that a couple times to check it after insertion, but now that I have that better understanding of where it needs to sit, I can do it sitting down. I'm thrilled that I no longer have to be stuck with tampons that contain harmful chemicals. The tampon industry is literally poisoning women and I think we should all stop using them and maybe, one day, those unethical leeches will go bankrupt. I'll be telling every woman I know to switch to discs. We deserve products that make our lives easier and won't possibly kill us! Also, cramps are pretty much gone. I have a very heavy flow and usually intense cramping. Barely any cramps and it handles my heavy flow as long as I empty when using the restroom.

Excellent product, highly recommend! Self empties when inserted properly, and can't feel it at all. I used tampons before, and will never go back.

Sometimes I need a disposable option, so I feel better about a plant based option, and about not leaving petroleum-based plastics inside my body for hours.Regarding the original, the self-emptying feature just means that it dumps when your pelvic floor let's down to use the toilet, so there's some mop-up needed. Can also happen in relaxed positions, so beware.
