So far efforts to create a once-daily pill to mimic the mainstream female contraceptive have stalled because men metabolise and clear out the hormones it delivers too quickly.

It means temporary male contraception has relied on condoms alone, with the main hopes for future contraceptive developments resting on a long-acting injection or topical gel, both of which are also under Development.

The Flex tampon aims to help couples become more intimate by allowing them to have sex no matter the time of month.

Shaped like a curved disc, it works in a similar way to the Mooncup, a cup worn inside the vagina during menstruation. Flex fits against the cervix, creating a soft barrier that temporarily blocks menstrual blood.

It is disposable, and can be worn for up to 12 hours – four hours longer than the recommended time for an average tampon.

As it contours to the shape of a woman's cervix, it can't be felt by either partner during sex. But it is not a form of contraception

From this was found that one in three women can’t function normally during their period and half of the women who took place in the research don’t talk about their pains.

When this pill became legal in the Netherlands a letter from Healthcare and Youth Inspectorate was sent to all general practitioners which said that there might be a prosecution if they prescribed the drug to women as they said it was similar to abortion. Until now women were directed to abortion clinics for the pill because of this letter, but now the Dutch court decided that general practitioners can prescribe the pill without any consequences. This contributes to women’s reproductive rights. (Lotens, 2019).
