It is now possible to have mess-free sex even when on period thanks to Flex, an anti-tampon alternative which also eliminates the risk of TSS (toxic shock syndrome).

Although having sex while during a woman's menstrual cycle is not wrong, most people shun from it because of the possibility blood getting everywhere.

Thanks to Flex, it is possible to have a mess-free sex during menstruation. Flex is similar to a menstrual cup which collects blood rather than absorbs it. There is a big difference between the regular menstrual cups and tampons from Flex. While menstrual cups and tampons are placed in the vaginal canal, Flex is inserted directly into the cervix.

Women do not need to remove Flex while having sex. The device seems to be picking up. In fact, according to sales reports, about 20 percent of Flex customers are men, TechCrunch reported.

Flex is a menstrual disc which is BPA-free, hypoallergenic, provides up to 12-hour leak proof seal, and will have no risk of having toxic shock syndrome, MedicalDaily reported.

The promise of 12-hour leak protection makes Flex a comfortable alternative for women. Aside from that, there is a promise of having cramp reliefs. 

Flex is considered to be a cheaper alternative compared to tampons and menstrual cups since it only costs around $15 a month.
