I'm not a target customer but it always makes me happy to see companies disrupting industries that have not been innovated in decades.

Very cool product and company that I think will be like Bevel / Walker & Co. -- there's still huge need to improve female health products worldwide, and it's often not the people who deeply understand and are passionate about the needs (...women!) who are building the companies. Lauren and team are relentlessly determined, so this is one to watch.

Hi, I'm Holly, the lead designer on FLEX. As a female industrial designer, I had always been bothered by how many pain points that tampons have: they leak, they smell bad, they create tons of waste, they can cause disease, and they are viewed as "a dirty secret" by most of society. I knew there needed to be a change, and I knew that design could help. When I first heard about FLEX, I knew that this was the product that I, and billions of other women had been looking for. I quit my job at a Fortune 500 company, and have been working with FLEX for the past 7 months. I can't wait to continue to innovate in this space and am looking forward to see how women's lives will be changed for the better!

Great branding design. Curious how this compares to the Diva cup?

@chrismessina it's probably more similar to the Instead SoftCup which is currently available in major drugstores like CVS. DivaCup doesn't have the soft film container which prohibits vaginal intercourse while it is inserted unlike Flex and Instead.

@chrismessina Hi Chris, great question. Menstrual discs like FLEX differ in a few ways from a menstrual cup: Menstrual discs are disposable; menstrual cups are reusable Menstrual discs are soft and fully collapsable with a thin membrane center and flexible outer rim; menstrual cups are firm and bell-shaped with a stem Menstrual discs are worn in the vaginal fornix, at the base of the cervix; menstrual cups are worn in the vaginal canal Menstrual discs can be worn during sexual intercourse; menstrual cups must be removed before vaginal sexual intercourse Menstrual discs have one method of insertion and removal; menstrual cups may be folded and inserted in a variety of ways Menstrual discs generally have a similar size and shape; menstrual cups come in a variety of shapes and sizes Menstrual discs have not been linked to TSS; menstrual cups have been linked to TSS Let me know if that helps or if you have additional questions <3

@joelle_writes @chrismessina That's correct, Softcup and FLEX are both menstrual discs. We make Softcup as well. The key difference is in the materials. FLEX is made out of newer materials that heat up when inside of the body for a custom, leak-free fit.
