Tampons gave me yeast infections for 15 years. 50% of my life, my vagina was out of commission, full stop. And I finally had a nurse practitioner say, I'm not writing another prescription for you until you quit using tampons and pads. And I'm like, what else is there other than tampons and pads? I'm Lauren Wong. I'm the founder and CEO of The Flex Company. So this is The Flex menstrual disc. The thing that I really like about it, when you squeeze it, it gets almost as thin as a tampon, but it's designed to be worn for up to 12 hours. When you go to the bathroom to pee, it empties itself out. So you can go all day without worrying about changing it. That's pretty amazing. Starting Flex was always about helping people who menstruate. All that I wanted to do was make it so that your period week is just the same as every other week. This is also a 12 hour disc, but with this one, you can rinse it out and reuse it for years. If you think about it, we spent about a quarter of our lives menstruating. To spend a quarter of our lives uncomfortable, I think is super sad. What if we could make something better and something different so that we don't have to dread 25% of our lives? You don't have to take my word for it. Just try it. You might have less cramping. You may have no cramping. You may have no leaking, no odor. People are like, is it even in? I can't even feel it. I forgot I was on my period. Both the disc and the cup. People tell me that they're life-changing and you don't need to believe me. I think it's easier to like go online, read reviews, see what other people say. 20% of your life could be better, could be more comfortable, could feel like you're not even on your period. Like, that's worth a shot.
