of Flo users think their partner’s lack of female health knowledge affects their relationship.¹

said their emotional bond with their partner would be strengthened if they understood more about female health.¹

“He’s always been very supportive and understanding when it comes to menstruation. But I have found he is asking more [now]. I’m not going to him and making him ask me questions. He’s freely coming to me and asking me questions, and that makes me feel like I’m being listened to without having to say anything.”²

Your cycle decoded

Finding the words (or time) to explain what you’re experiencing throughout your cycle isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve launched Flo for Partners — to educate your partner about what’s going on with your body.

We’ll explain

Flo for Partners gives your partner access to quick-fire stories to learn how your cycle symptoms might change from day to day, when you’re likely to be ovulating (aka when to have sex if you’re trying to conceive), and how your baby (and body) is changing week by week.

Your partner can also read more in-depth, medically reviewed articles on what a period actually is, how to keep conception sex fun, and weird pregnancy symptoms that are kind of cool. Think of it as the lowdown on everything they need to know so you can become cycle pros together.

We’ll educate him

“I am a visual learner, so watching Flo’s videos makes the process much more engaging.”²- Rafael, Flo user's partner

Unlock new quizzes and polls for both of you — plus videos just for him.

“I like Flo’s quizzes because they give you not only the correct answer, but also the why. There are a lot of questions you know the answers for, but you don’t really know the reason.”² - Flo user

We’ll help share the load

Let’s be honest — trying to inform your partner about what’s going on with your body can be tricky, especially when you aren’t totally sure why you’re experiencing specific symptoms yourself. At its heart, Flo for Partners explains everything your partner needs to know — so you don’t have to. We’ll also give them actions they can take right away to support you better.

“We’ve been trying for a baby for a year so far, so reading and discussing Flo’s articles on these topics with my partner has been very useful. Whatever I wanted, I could find content that was relevant to my symptoms, which I would then show to my partner.”²- Katerina, Flo user

“In the past, I would have to explain myself, and now I don’t have to. He’s like, oh, OK, let me check Flo. Uh, your period is due in a couple of days, so maybe that’s why. He finds answers on his own nowadays.”²
