So, glad you didn't let personal bias of the company to cloud a honest review of this cup. (Some sarcasm intended)

I’m honestly surprised with this review. This was my first cup because it’d be easier to remove. It’s the best cup, in my opinion. Maybe your view is a bit biased. My cup is not hard to insert, remove, or wash (I have no disabilities, just new to cups). I hardly have to tug the stem to break the seal to remove it. It’s so comfortable that I literally forget that I’m even on my period while others have been uncomfortable and put pressure on my bladder.

Am I the only one who finds the intro music anxiety inducing?

Omg y’all stop making y’alls review on Flex’s products like omg keela cup is the one that sold their product to flex it isn’t like flex stole it they literally bought and paid for it

Is it just me or the audio of this video is pretty bad?

...I don't understand what the big deal is about pulling the stem through the cup to wash then putting it back in? Just... pull the stem out and put it back in? Like...

So you are aware, the pullable string is meant to be helpful for those of us who have a higher cervix. My cup can get up fairly high where I can then hardly reach the string, let alone the cup base. The hole allows me to catch it and have something to pull on to break the seal, allowing its removal. This cup may not be a good fit for your body, but I was excited for the pull string. It is what made me try the cup again after a traumatic first experience. It saves me a trip to the ER when I can't reach the cup well enough to break the seal! Its completely valid for you to not like the cup for your own reasons, but it definitely sounds like you just hate the company and have nothing nice to say because of that. Not the most helpful review except to hear about the experience of someone with a different body type (cervix position).

This cup is revolutionary for people with disabilities and pelvic floor dysfunction. I am glad you finally reviewed it for those people. Keela created a product that made cups accessible to a group of people they weren't accessible to before, and Flex buying them allowed it to be widely available to those people. I am sorry you have an issue with the brand, but that doesn't negate how innovative and inclusive this design is for many.

I have EDS (the same thing as the woman who added the pull string has) and this cup has been awesome! I have a high cervix so that could be a big part of why I like it so much, but it’s been amazing for me! It does take more time to clean, but it’s definitely worth it for me because I don’t have an issue cleaning it, I have an issue with my fingers being able to grab it.

While the company is shady, for lack of a better word, this video/experience seems quite biased. With the exception of your cervix being low (that obviously does play a factor when it comes to these things), it seems like you just weren’t into it. Which if you really want to inform people on ALL products you need to put personal feelings aside. I’m not a fan of the company, but the design intrigued me and it ended up working out great for my high cervix and regular to light flow. I don’t struggle with taking it out like I did with my Lena and I don’t find it more cumbersome to clean. I would 100% recommend to someone with a higher cervix that has had difficulty with other cup removal. The big issue I have with this is the price. It’s a lot pricier than other cups, so while they’re attempting to be “inclusive” it’s still going to be unattainable to those that can’t afford it.

I just bought this cup this is my first cup and I love how easy it is to put in and take out. I have had absolutely no leaks. My problem is it overflowing 🥺. it's easy to clean and the pull tab is so comfortable no matter which way it's turned I still can't feel it! I actually forget I'm on my period it's so comfortable. My only problem is that my flow is so very heavy the first few days I have to empty it like every 3-5 hrs . Besides that I love this cup. I think I'll try the super Jennie for my heavy days if it works out for me so I don't have to empty it so much. I really wish they come out with a higher capacity cup because this one is amazing! And I don't want to have to deal with fishing for a cup nor having to pull it out a certain way so that it doesn't hurt. No matter what it's still worth it to be free from the messy smelly feeling of pads . There is absolutely no odor to deal with 😁😍😍😍

This was such a biased review. I think you were finding things to nit-pick because of how much you dislike the company. If you're interested in an honest and unbiased review from someone who also doesn't like the company, I highly suggest watching ItsJustKelli. She explains fully in her video why she dislikes the company, but gives a wholesome and honest review of this product.

I would love to see a disabled person or fat person review this cup. As someone who is both, traditional cups get difficult because I cannot reach very far in my vagina with my hands and I have to bear down quite a lot for removal. With my selena cup, it's not a huge deal because I can grip the ring stem a pull a little, but this looks like a solution to a problem I have a lot. Maybe it needs tweaking, but I appreciate the thought for those of us who have physical difficulties.

This is my 1st and only cup, and I agree that individual anatomy will dramatically impact menstrual cup experience. If you have a high cervix, or have trouble getting 2 fingers high enough into your vagina to grab the bottom of a menstrual cup, the Flex cup might be the one for you. With my anatomy, the stem does not sit outside of the vaginal canal, but about a 1/2 inch inside. I find the stem very soft and not noticeable at all. This cup, with it's suction-releasing stem, is THE ONLY reason I decided to go ahead and give menstrual cups a try because I knew I would not be able to grab the bottom (and certainly not the rim) of a traditional cup. I'm loving it so far. Thanks for your review.

I love the Flex Cup. The breaking the seal is a game changer and it’s very easy to work with! Idk why she appears to be having such a hard time.

I really liked this cup, it was easier to remove than any other cups I've tried. I love my Saalt but I can't pinch the base at all so I sit and mess with it for like 10 mins, so even though I have to wash the flex a certain way, it's still less time for me.

I absolutely love this cup! It’s the one that sold me on the idea of menstrual cups. I’ve tried others & I get EXTREME anxiety when it’s time to remove..i had given up the thought of being able to use cups. Then I found this one, it’s so easy to remove! I’ve had no problems & I would not be able to use a cup if it weren’t for this one

I am actually happy that I clicked on this video (despite the negativity of the review) because I finally got to read comments from people with the same problem as me, I would even say that it is pretty extreme for me. My cervix is SO high that both SAALT soft cups I tried (small and regular) were impossible to remove by myself (even after trying every single trick I heard about)!! and I had to get someone to do it for me, as a first time user it was a real nightmare! If my family wasn't there to do it for me I would have had to go to the ER... So now I'm hesitating between the Lily cup one and the Flex cup! I'm kinda scared the lily cup will still be really hard to grip or not even high enough? And I am not sure whether the small or large flex cup would be best for me. It's a tough decision when you've already lost money on the previous cups... I'm really bummed that people with high cervixes are often forgotten and that there is not enough awareness regarding the problems that people with a unique anatomy face with the classic/regular cups... Even the channel Put A Cup In It does not talk about it... I also feel like their reviews are often not objective enough and too biased, like when they said that the SAALT cups were perfect!

I’m sorry but nothing I read in the article is so offensive or unethical to call for the bias and anger in this review. And I tend to be passionate about the ethics of the companies I buy from.

I mean, if you don't like the company, and can't put your bias aside, don't do a whole video about it? Or at least tell us why so that we can make our own decisions?

I have this cup and love it! I tried the Saalt before in both sizes, and found out I have a high cervix. It’s so hard for me to remove cups and needed something that’s was easier to remove, It’s super soft and not irritating, doesn’t apply pressure in my bladder and it’s black which I love! The pull aspect is the best and I recommend it to people with high cervixes. Obviously the lady in the video has different needs when it comes to her body and it didn’t work for her. But I would still recommend if you are in the market for a cup.

Totally sounds like you’re letting your hatred for the company cloud this review. I have this cup in the Slim Fit. It’s so easy to use and clean. Not sure how you found so many issues with it? I wish you wouldn’t let your feelings about the company impact your review because there are folks out there whose lives could change for the better with this cup they may see this video and not buy it all because you have some weird beef? Also, the advice to get a longer cup? this is specifically poor advice for IUD havers, and pelvic floor/prolapse issues. Encouraging tolerating firm suction is a weird choice for the sake of dismissing the Flex Cup? I had so much respect for you, I waited so long for this review and now it just feels like you hate them so you hate the cup

This is really surprising. Although I don't know much about the company I find this cup amazing. I think having the stemmed loop is really amazing. As someone with very short fingers normal cups are extremely hard to use and have caused me lots of problems as I can't reach enough to properly grab the base and even then on other cups have properly come unsuctioned so it feels like I was pulling my vagina inside out. Having the looped stem has made it so much easier to have the cup come out easier. The first time I used a cup without being able to get it out almost sent me to the hospital so have this feature has been amazing. I do think this review is biased. I understand disliking a company but I do not think this cup got the review it deserved. It has been a game changer and it was very disappointing to listening to the reason this cup was given a bad review. OMG girl washing is a problem?! It's really not like what are you even doing if washing this is a huge problem.

This whole review seems very bias/salty :/ I was really hoping for a good honest review from you

This is my first time using a cup and I’m not going back to tampons! While using the flex cup, i have no irritation. It’s very comfortable for me. It was a tiny bit hard to learn how to insert but nothing a tutorial and practice couldn’t fix. With tampons i always felt like it was keeping me clogged up however with the cup i feel that it’s allowing the flow to fully “empty” itself out. It’s very easy to remove with the string and loop. As a beginner it was a bit messy when it would come out but only because i didn’t expect so much liquid. After a couple tries and being very careful, i experienced no mess. Cleaning it is very simple. No leaks! Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase. I got the smallest size and it comes with a couple free discs.

This is my first cup and because of disability i needed the pull cord to reach to break the seal, without this invention, i would not be able to use a cup. I find ti very easy to clean and i never removed the steam all the way from the flex cup.

This is a reminder to people not to ever rely on one person for product reviews, and this is nothing to do with if you should trust PACII or not. Amanda reviewed the cup as honestly as she could, specifically stating that it might be clouded by her opinion of the company. This is a good thing. There were also a lot of issues she specifically stated were personal to her. If you have an issue with trusting this review because of either of those things you are free to check out other people's reviews, and in fact if you really want to get a sense of if a product will suit you that is something you should be doing anyway. But just because someone's opinion is different to yours doesnt immediately mean it's deliberately dishonest.

Here is the thing a lot of people need to realize. 1) she admitted that most of the wear grievances were due to her own body type and the way her cervix sits. 2) she’s much more accustomed to cups. So the extra sets to get it own are more annoying that helpful. This is my first cup and I got it because I was worried about being able to get a typical one out of I couldn’t get a grip on the stem. I also have a very high cervix so I can get my cup deep enough that the stem is inside and doesn’t bother me. Every body is different🥰

I have to say I am glad I found this video, not for the actual video , but for the comments. I saw all the great comments and bought this cup. I had given up on cups they were just to dificult for me. And this one is just perfect and the design is amazing ! you just pull that thing and its out! so easy, so confortable, so useful. Thanks ladies for all the comments .

Can you guys start doing in depth cup comparison videos? I find your website to be extremely helpful, but would also like to actually see cups side by side, as well as the reviews for those cups. Secondly, would you guys also be able to start doing period panty reviews? I’d like to try some as a back up to my cups, but I don’t know what to get nor do I know much about them (ex: do they stink, how to clean them, etc). Thanks guys for all you do. I love PACII.

I know that this cup works for many people, but the fact that people are using the fact that it worked for them like calling her a liar is completely unacceptable. Although yes, this company may not be the most wholesome company and that PACII may not like it as much as other companies does not mean that she is being 100% biased. This factor may have changed the way she thought of the cup, however, some of her reasons such as the position of her cervix are understandable, and it isn't in any way her fault. Some cups just don't work for some bodies. She is at least being honest by the fact saying that she does not like the cup and letting you know that this is just her opinion which may have been slightly shifted due to the company. Her job is not to make other people love or hate cups, just to let people know what she thinks. Please, if you accuse people of being biased towards companies, make sure you aren't also being biased with the company.

Could you please also do a review in the Femmycycle-Cup? That would be very interesting I guess.

I love this cup, so easy to pull out and just as easy to put in. Love the color

Hey Amanda, you mentioned in the video that you don't like Flex as a company. Can I ask why that is?

i’m obviously ten months late to this video but i think a lot of these comments are straight up unnecessary. i don’t think the things said were biased, it was an honest review and opinion. if you disagree - i’m glad you like the cup! not everyone will, or has to. my cervix is usually low and this was the first review i saw that even mentioned the relevance of that to this cup, so i found that information really useful.

While I have mild cerebral palsy, I would be worried about my cervix sitting in this cup and the loop that is inside the cup would possibly pull out my IUD birth control device. I appreciate your honest review.

This is the first cup that worked for me. I ja e a very high cervix and usually after wearing a cup for a few hours I can no longer even touch the tip of the stem despite a lot of bearing down and squatting. The loop and way to break the seal was a lifesaver for me!

It’s her channel and she can say whatever she wants. You can go ahead and buy whatever you want too. Just a passerby. I’ve not heard of the flex company until today. Never used this cup too and might try it if it were more convenient to get it. I just don’t get why people are shitting on her for saying that she doesn’t like it.

I don’t see how this review is bias because if her cervix sits in the cup I’m sure that could be very uncomfortable i thought about getting this cup and the issue for me was the thing that sits out at the bottom because like she said you can’t cut it. I don’t know anything about the company but those things were the same things i worried about when i was buying my first cup .

Ppl having a problem wth her review are too touchy. She's giving an opinion. You don't have to agree

Thanks for this review! Not sure why all the negative comments, the cup obviously wasn’t a good fit for you for legitimate reasons you explained very clearly. You warned ppl it might be biased, but seems like thats the only thing they heard and nothing else you had to say 🤷🏾‍♀️. I also have a low sitting cervix and my pixie cup sits low in my vaginal canal, so i had to remove the stem since it would stick out and irritate me. Without the stem it’s perfect and i never have trouble reaching the base of the cup for removal because of my anatomy. So for me this flex cup would be super uncomfortable. As lovely as it sounds to have the seal breaking mechanism I dodged a bullet thanks to this review. I can see why ppl with a higher sitting cervix who usually have trouble reaching the cup would love this. That’s just not me, and it’s not her, and the review was honest.

this is my first time ever watching one of your videos and I found it quite interesting I was thinking about buying the cop I'm using the diaphragms now and I'm having a lot of trouble with them but reading the comments your followers wow guys, she's just voicing her opinion just because she doesn't like the cup or the brand that does not mean she is being biased she just has an opinion like every one of us does

I've been searching for someone to give a fair review and honestly I can't handle watching this after the 1st minute. I stopped as soon as you commented about "the company". I want to know about the product! You might get more views if you stuck to the product!

I've been looking at this cup, to see if it would help me. If it does what it's supposed to do - release suction 'by itself' - then it might work for me. I have bad shoulders, and it seems to be starting to affect my hands, so all I can do is reach down, get any hold at all, and yank (at least my only cup is a Femmycycle so I just have to hook it). Overall, probably not the most medically sound way to remove a cup. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but, hopefully, this might prove a possibility for me.

🥴 I totally hear ya about the stem against the cervix and poking out lower in the vaginal canal. So incredibly squirm-inducing. Yes-it’s awesome to have something with a suction-breaking mechanism, so it’s great for someone else. It’s ok. Thank you for the review. When something literally rubs you the wrong way, it’s hard to not be grumpy about it.

You should try these if you haven't: Organicup Lily cup Lena cup Lunette cup Diva cup Intimina cup Tampax cup

I have disabilities but I’m still struggling with trying to use it.

Honestly I think women need to try the product themselves to really know if it works for them or not. I’ve tried a diva cup and didn’t care for it, very challenging to remove. I’ve tried discs and was told leaking was normal but for me a lot of the fluid gets dumped out when I lean forward. It’s kinda discouraging but I’m going to give it a try again next month.

It is my second time trying a menstrual cup,, the first one I’ve tried was the saalt cup and that one was so so difficult for me to remove, it was very painful because I could not get a good grip on the base to pinch it! Then I tried the flex cup and have not had a problem removing it at all. I would recommend this cup to beginners like me because the pull tab gives me peace of mind that it wont get lost in there forever. And also, I find it really easy to insert as well. in my experience the pull tab is not getting in the way of making the cup into a very small fold

So many people in the comments claiming Amanda’s biased because she has a different opinion! It’s an opinion. Opinions are subjective. Everyone’s opinion is subjective. You disagreeing with her doesn’t mean she’s biased any more than the people on here saying it was their first cup and it also happens to be the best thing ever. She even runs through her reasoning for it all ffs and why and leaves it for to decide. God forbid a review doesn’t echo your own thoughts and experiences right back at you 🙄.

Someone else needs to do this review

I actually loved this cup, and i went through 3 cups after i couldnt replace my old meluna till i got this one and its great. I love loop end cups, and i love that its easier for someone with a long vaginal canal or high cervix cuz all my old bad cups were a huge pain to remove but this one was great! What is the problematic part of the FLEX company? Im genuinely curious i havent heard anything bad about them.

Can we get a list of cups with easier grips?

She just expressed how she felt about the cup. It’s just doesn’t suit her body as she already mentioned that she has low cervix. Her previous videos have also mentioned she trimmed all of the stems. Maybe she said she doesn’t like the company and that’s why it sounds like a bias review.

I just bought my Flex Cup that I'm receiving today & I'm a new user to menstrual cups so I really hope this cup changes my life lol because being an athlete and wearing pads isn't fun at all!

I think it’s great that someone made a cup for people with disabilities even though I personally wouldn’t use it because I’m blind. But most brands leave us out so I think it’s great to be inclusive, but I can’t imagine being poked in the cervix with the stem of the cup the way it runs all the way through the way it like you described. That sounds really uncomfortable.

Even though you “tried” to remove your bias, you didn’t do that great of a job doing so. You can tell it is bleeding (no pun intended) into your review.

This was the first cup I bought. I like it found it easy to use and as a larger girl found it very easy to remove. I was able to clean it easily and the ring did not cause me any irritation personally. I personally have fibroids and my periods are now insane sooo it is no longer holding up to that but before that problem reared its ugly head I found it to be great. Bottom line like anything else if it interests you try it you may love it or you may hate it.

Just had gotten this cup. Hated it. I didn't like cleaning it it was uncomfortable pressure down there and it leaked on me. Not my type of cup. Wish I had found you guys before I bought it.

I saw this cup in my local store the other day, decided to look up reviews prior to purchase. I'm glad I did, reading the sealed box, it did not show or say anything about the stem being up inside of the cup. I personally do not want this cup just for that reason. Besides the fact that when you pulled on the stem to get the lip to release suction, on a heavy flow day it might just pop out and make a mess.

could you give a firmness comparison....

Menstrual cups are so individual I think. Which is probably why we have so many options out there. 😏 I hated this cup. I found it incredibly stiff, so the folding and wearing, for me, was very uncomfortable. I really liked the DivaCup which seemed softer and more flexible for me. That being said, I'm glad this works for so many people.

I am going to use the honey 🍯 pot cup it’s my first time using it

I do think it's more for people with higher cervixes I love this cup

I feel like the adjustable stem would lead to leaks thru the hole it’s in

Am just asking if i can use the diva cup size 1 because i am thirteen years old

I have this one and it’s not my fave. I know absolutely nothing about the company. Felt too firm for me. My go to is Lunette with the stem cut off. I have two of those and almost always reach for them. Flex was just okay. I think my cervix must be low bc I found the loop sticking out and felt weird.

I have the flex cup and haven't been able to get it in! I've never worn a cup before. What would you recommend as a good beginner cup?

i agree with this review, i felt the bulky-ness and the rim is too soft

Thank you so much for this review. I’m new to alternatives and just tried the disc, meehhhh! Can’t get the placement right. Definitely going to try a cup out but it won’t be THIS cup. Their ads make this seem like such a good product, but all the things you mentioned are things that would have made me say forget it all w/alternatives had I tried this particular cup. Thanks for saving me the time. Going with saalt soft cup based on my quiz results.

This cup wasn't for me... i have trouble putting it in, it leaks, and it hurts to take out.

I started using "discs" my boyfriend stumbled upon at my local Walmart about 5yrs ago. The brand I've personally not only used, but also had intercourse multiple times.Every time the same great experience vs the normal tampon use I was used to... "SOFTCUP" IS A 👍 GREAT DISC brand.Very comfy.Safe.clean.& sooo convenient and cleaner.For $10/box of 14. And for me that lasts me MORE Then just 1 menstrual cycle. 2 THUMBS UP for DISCS. & I recently invested in the "Diva-Cup". We'll see if I like it-& il post my reaction. But the discs are great for time & activities...Period💪💋

Ok so I'm I've been trying to reach your website for 2 days. I have tried different browsers and devices made sure my cookie setting was on an all the Jazz LoL so I could take your quiz for a menstrual cup, the site won't open and I can get the quiz to pull up ummmm is the site down for maintenance or am I doing something wrong. HELP PLS!!!!!🙄🤗🌞

Am I supposed to feel this ? Because I do

Were you crying before/during the video?

I agree. I don’t like the cup. Spent 35 dollars and it is so uncomfortable. I am by no means new to cups(been using one for at least 10 years). I generally cut the “pull string” off as it causes a lot of discomfort. With this one I can’t do that and it is beyond uncomfortable. I can feel the string even if I am just laying in bed. Would not recommend. It’s like a constant frontal wedgie.

I feel like you may have been more comfortable with a small flex cup, especially if you didnt buy the large one for a reason other than it was on sale? Didnt catch that part really. Size in cups is pretty important, but im sure you know that... I also feel like my stem is a bit shorter than that one. Maybe mine is newer or mayne its cuz mine is a small. Just a thought.

Uploaded on the first day of my period by chance.

*Do not base your opinion of the Flex Cup on this review.* I almost did because I'd gotten so much helpful info from PutACupInIt when I started using a cup last month. I used the Eva cup (looks like most cups they've reviewed) it leaked constantly so I searched for reviews of a new cup and found this video on their website. I don't understand the beef she had with Flex but it obviously affected the review. This cup was a game changer. It's softer than my other cup, that may be the difference. Either way I'm so glad I wasn't influenced by this review because it's the first time I didn't leak using a cup. Inserting and removal was much easier for me. For reference: I have a high cervix, never given vaginal birth. If you're struggling give this one a chance!

I did not like the cup, felt too stiff for me and uncomfortable. I just started using cups so maybe it's just me.

why don't they like the company?

I am morbidly obese 415 pounds. I purchased one because I have gotten thing stuck before and had to me er visits.

I come to your channel for unbiased reviews and help . You let your hatred for the company come out in your review . Totally disappointed in you

Why do u look so sad n vulnerable??😟😟

Sounds like you were more angry about capitalism than you were giving a cup review companies buy each other out all the time

I want to know to what extent don't you like the company? Because I just don't know this company.

So biased. For someone who’s biggest struggle with cups is breaking the seal, this is revolutionary. You act like it’s impossible to clean…literally just rinse the tab along with the cup.

What a garbage biased review. You shouldn't have even reviewed this. This cup is great.

Why do people have problems with the flex company or I should say why do people have a bad taste in their mouths towards the company

Very surprising review. I have no idea why our experiences are so different (anatomy, maybe?) but this cup was the first I could finally use easily and pain free. I tried 3 different cups before (over many years) and none of them lasted more than 1-2 cycles. They were torture to use. I got the Keela Cup (the original Flex cup) through Headstart about a year ago and that's it - tampons became history.

She looks like she’s trying not to cry the whole time, seems like just a bad review based on comments

can someone please give me info on why Flex company is not good as mentioned in the video?

Does anybody know where i can learn about the Company and the issue w them?

I really don't like the marketing tactic of "oh this is easier for people who are disabled". In what way? Not everyone has the same disability and the same needs. Also, if we're going with the definition of disabled as "person who has motor function issues involving their hands" as is implied, how is it easier to manage if you need to have the necessary dexterity to get the string back to the position it is supposed to be in? I understand that this is one person's view of something that could help them with their disability (and that is absolutely wonderful), but the marketing itself is what I have issues with. It just comes off as extremely ableist (and I'm not one to just throw that word around) that an invention by someone with a disability is being marketed as the absolute solution for everyone with disabilities now that it's been bought by a large mainstream company.

Sorry but it was kinda dramatic on how difficult it is to clean ... I don’t mind having clean that pull tab when that’s literally the reason i love my flex cup and it takes an extra 10 seconds to do 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thanks to this horrible review, I went and bought one today BECAUSE I READ ALL THE COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THIS CUP. So far it’s great! When inserted correctly, I forgot I was on my period! Easy to remove as well! Super happy!

this literally just doesn't fit you

This cup seems like an attempt at labour-saving that just... doesn't really work, and just means you have more work to do cleaning it. Also flex are shitty.

okay i just bought this because i noticed it had a slim cup and now i’m sad because it’s shady?

This is such a biased review lol. I literally couldn’t get past the infomercial attempt at removing the stem. Girl, it’s dry, stop it 🤦🏽‍♀️.
