Breaking: Flex discs have reached a tipping point in consumer adoption. 🚀 Our incredible retail partners at Target Walmart and CVS Health have been working overtime to keep Flex discs and cups in-stock nationwide. We had already been experiencing double-digit growth before the study about toxic metals in organic and conventional tampons broke. If you are looking for our products and they are sold out, know we are restocking every day as quickly as possible. A huge shout out to my North American-based manufacturing and supply chain teams for continuing to deliver OTIF across all channels. 💪 Thank you Leslie Patton and Bloomberg for sharing our story.
