The two unique features of the Flex Cup are:
- The silicone cord (pull tab) is attached to the top rim of the cup, and it goes all the way through a hole at the bottom of the cup.
- The loop-style pull tab
These two features work together to make removal the easiest I've ever experienced when using a menstrual cup, similar to how easy tampon removal is. The loop-style tab is easy to hold without your fingers slipping off when you're pulling down. And since the tab is attached to the top rim of the cup, as you pull down, it pulls the cup away from your vaginal wall, which breaks the suction seal. So the cup just slides out without feeling any intense pulling pressure and without the fear that all of a sudden the cup will just pop out of you and spill everywhere (been there!). These two features make this menstrual cup my favourite!
