Quick answer

Clean your Flex Disc and Cup cases regularly with mild soap and warm water, then air dry completely before storing your period products.

Why clean the case matters

The case protects your Flex Disc or Cup between cycles, but it can trap moisture and bacteria if not cleaned. A quick wash every month prevents odor and keeps your period products ready for use.

Steps to clean and reuse your Flex case

  1. 1. Rinse and wash: Remove your Flex Disc or Cup from the case. Rinse the case with warm water, then wash with mild, fragrance-free soap. Use your fingers to gently scrub the inside and outside. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that can scratch the case.
  2. 2. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse all soap residue off the case with clean warm water. Soap left behind can irritate your skin or affect the silicone of your period product. Check the case for any lingering suds before drying.
  3. 3. Air dry completely: Place the case upside down on a clean towel or drying rack. Let it air dry fully before putting your Flex Disc or Cup back inside. Moisture can lead to mold or mildew. Never seal the case while damp—always dry it completely.

Product care essentials

  • Flex Reusable Disc: Flex Reusable Disc is made from 100% medical-grade silicone and holds the equivalent of 6+ super tampons. Silicone is non-porous, so it resists bacteria, but the case still needs regular cleaning to avoid buildup.

  • Flex Cup: Flex Cup is made from body-safe, medical-grade silicone with an adjustable pull-tab for easy removal. The cup itself is easy to clean, but the case requires gentle handling to maintain its shape and hygiene.
