The article was ON POINT.. it works on Light days, my heavy days are VERY HEAVY and it leaked and did not hold up on heavy days..and removing it on those days…just like the article states..”murder scene” ..its good for women who don’t have a heavy flow but if you use Super or Super plus tampons & your changing those 3-4 times during your 8 hours of work… the Flex isn’t going to work.

I am so curious to try Flex but I have really heavy periods which makes me think I won’t benefit from them because my flow is too heavy. I notice the Flex U.S. store does versions for heavy periods if you go through the ‘will Flex work for me’ questions. But I live in the UK and can’t seem to find the heavier period versions on the UK site!

In reply to Mary. Thank goodness I thought I was alone. There are so many videos and tutorials and I have tried it all. It's so messy and constantly leaks all the time. Plus I sit all day at my desk job, so i dont have a chance. Super disappointed.

Flex is a fail for me. The selling point for me was the promise of mess-free period sex. There are better products that do the other things that flex does, but mess-free period sex was appealing. However when i tried it, it broke the condom. Forget whether or not they can feel it, if friction breaks the condom, it’s a no-go. So no more flex. Just went back to messy period sex. Much better.

These are a newer version of the instead cups which are disposable rings. You can find them at any pharmacy and save in shipping. Does the same thing and you save money! Don’t see why all the hype about an old product with a different name and lot of marketing. Only difference is a expensive subscription box.

In reply to LeKesha Nerem. I have had the same experience with major leakage for two cycles and have tried everything I can think of to adjust it and make sure it's positioned properly. It only works for me on light days. I have been searching for others who experienced this to make sure it wasn't just me. I'm starting to wonder if some women's anatomies just don't work well with it. I never have this problem with the menstrual cup because of the seal that is created on the cervix. I really liked the idea of it. Just don't know how else to troubleshoot it.

I tried flex and tried and tried. I don’t know why but it leaks terribly for me. I have watched the video and adjusted to the point of soreness. So disappointing

I really, really wanted to like FLEX. Used it for three cycles, I insert it correctly but it always leaks pretty heavy for me, to the point where double pantyliners are soaked through and my underwear is stained even after a couple of hours. I watched the videos and communicated with customer service but it just isn’t working for me.
