The Science Behind the Scenes
How Flexy Solves a Century-Old Problem.
For decades, women have faced a frustrating and often overlooked issue: the discomfort and hygiene concerns associated with traditional tampons. At Flextring®, we refused to accept this as the norm. We asked ourselves: why does this persistent problem exist, and how can we create a better solution with our Flexy® tampon? The answer, as we discovered, lies in understanding the physics and anatomy involved.
The Problem: The Physics of Traditional Tampon Strings
Have you ever wondered why your tampon string feels wet and uncomfortable? It’s simply a matter of physics. Traditional strings extend 8-10 centimeters outside the vagina, while the urethral opening and anus are only a few centimeters away. This proximity means everyday movement inevitably leads to contact with bodily fluids, resulting in:
- Heavier, Stained Strings: Wet strings can soil your underwear.
- Uncomfortable Wetness: The constant feeling of a damp, cumbersome string.
Plus, traditional long strings can peek out of certain outfits like shorts and swimwear, causing worry and embarrassment.
The Challenge: A Seemingly Irresolvable Paradox
The challenge lies in a fundamental paradox:
- Long strings are necessary for safe and easy tampon removal.
- Short strings are necessary for cleanliness and discretion.
For nearly a century, this issue has been an unattended pain point for women. How could we create a string that is both long enough for safe removal and short enough to remain clean and discreet?
The Solution: Flexy®'s Innovative Design
Flexy® is the first and only tampon to solve this paradox with its unique, compact, and flexible string.
- Hygienic Design: During use, Flexy®’s string stays close to the body, extending only a few centimeters outside the vagina. This minimizes contact with bodily fluids, keeping the string dry and hygienic, and reducing bacterial accumulation.
- Discreet Comfort: The compact string remains hidden, eliminating the worry of visible strings.
- Safe and Easy Removal: When it’s time for removal, Flexy®’s string extends longer than traditional strings, providing a secure and comfortable grip for easy disposal.
The Science of Flexibility
Flexy®’s string employs a unique interwoven fiber structure that allows it to maintain a compact form during use and extend smoothly when tension is applied for removal. The string is made mostly from 100% certified organic cotton. To achieve the revolutionary flexibility of our string, we incorporate a small percentage of elastic material. This component is carefully selected and rigorously tested, using only materials that are FDA approved for internal medical implants.
To provide a comfortable, natural feel, the elastic core is fully coated by the organic cotton fibers, guaranteeing that only the soft, organic cotton comes into contact with the body. This ensures a gentle touch against your most sensitive areas.
