You never really know how good a product is untill you use it. I agree with a previous customer that after my second baby, I found that I could always feel my tampon and was very uncomfortable. Not to mention, I have always experienced leakage with tampons. However, this is my first month trying the mooncup and can not believe something so wonderful existed. I had to cut the whole stem off, but it is still quite easy to remove. No leaking, so comfortable I forget it is there, and feels so much healthier. I will be working to convert all my friends. I will NEVER wear a tampon again. Thank you so much. A satisfied customer from the states.

My boyfriend encouraged me to talk to someone on the Mooncup stall at a festival recently. I had my reservations but was willing to give it a go, especially after learning about all the waste we women create. I have to say that any concerns I had about ease of use and cleanliness were quickly absolved. This is only my second period since I bought the Mooncup and even though it is heavier than my last it is still so simple to use and I would not go back to tampons. My friends are a little harder to convince sadly, but I’m sure they might in time after persistent my recommendations. Thank you and well done Mooncup!

I have wanted to try and start using a mooncup for ages, but a few things put me off buying it: the price, whether I’d be able to use it (I’m 15) and my mum’s concerns about me using it. But after doing some more research I realised how much safer Mooncups are than tampons. So, after a visit to the doctor to ask about the possible dangers of using a Moocup (my mum insisted) I ordered one.
My period started today and after much trimming of the stem and practising putting the Mooncup in and removing it, I was feeling quite confident. I wasn’t wrong, insertion and removal were suprisingly easy. I’m so so happy right now, It’s quite funny to think about how nervous I was earlier because I removed most of the stem and I thought it would get stuck. It’s so comfortable and it’s so cool to think about how much money I’ll save in the future. Also, my periods are really heavy and during the first few days I have to wear a super absorbency tampon and a sanitary pad. But when I emptied the cup there was hardly anything there.

Sorry this is so long but I really cannot stress how great Mooncups are. The person who invented menstrual cups deserves more recognition. It’s hard to belive more women aren’t using Mooncups. If somebody my age can use them, then surely everybody should give them a chance?

One more thing – Thank you!!! You’ve saved me from yet another week of having to use my school’s horrible bathrooms every break and lunch!

I love love love my mooncup and I’m so glad that there’s this big campaign on the London Underground to promote it. I feel in control and self-sufficient thanks to the mooncup. I never have to go on a last minute rush to the shops to buy anything for a surprise early period, and I never have to carry anything extra around in my handbag because of my period. As long as my vagina is in good shape at the beginning of the period, it remains that way to the end – there’s no irritation, no infections, and I rarely get thrush, because the mooncup doesn’t interfere with the vagina’s natural lubrication and friendly bacteria.

I’ve had a Mooncup for about a year now, and find it useful in coping with very heavy periods. To be honest I do need to wear a pad as well on my heaviest days (the Mooncup is designed to overflow when full), however there are still financial and environmental savings from using fewer conventional sanitary products. Another good thing about the Mooncup is that it enables you to measure your blood loss and tell your GP or Well Woman clinic if you think you might need help with this. Overall I’d definitely recommend the Mooncup, it’s really convenient and environmentally friendly.Finally, I agree with some others who have posted testimonials and would like to see the Mooncup made in different colours.

Utterly amazed I am! Purely by chance I came across Mooncup, and decided I’d have a go. I was a bit worried about it at first, as it seemed quite different from ‘standard’ sanitary stuff, but curiosity had the better of me. As it happened, I needn’t have worried at all. It’s wonderful! This is only my second day of use, but I’m already converted. I’ve had absolutely no trouble inserting or removing it. What’s more, I’ve had no leaks, it feels very comfortable and I reckon my cramps have lessened a bit too! I know I must be sounding like an advert, but, even though it’s early days, I think it’s safe to say that this product really is great, so easy to use. Highly recommended, and thank you very much!

The first time I had heard of the mooncup in the feminist society I was pretty much against the idea, despite the clear advantages. I guess alot of women have the same problem, but I was nonetheless pondering the question of getting a mooncup for the next few months. The fact that they can easily be purchased in Boots probably helped alot and so I finally got one. I have always been in harmony with my body and never afraid to use words such as vagina or menstruation. It could not be easier to use and to take care off. I think my vagina is pretty happy to be rid of tampons etc considering I was never a huge fan of thme in the first place. As Catherine Breillat deppicted in her film ‘Anatomy of Hell’, a tampon keeps a woman from coming into contact with her own sexuality of which the period is unavoidably part.I really jsut keep recommending it to every woman, wether they want or not lol.For me it is one of the best inventions of all times.

I can’t recommend mooncups highly enough. I’ve been using mine for about 5 years now and the thought of going back to tampons and disposable sanitary towels disgusts me. I’ve NEVER had a leak with my mooncup and have happily worn it on the heaviest days with white jeans without fear of staining. Once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy to insert and remove and feels so much more hygienic.
