I’ve had my mooncup for nearly two years now and absolutely love it! It’s so easy to use, and no more worrying about running out of tampons when I’m at work/on a night out/staying at a friends house/at a festival. I only wished I’d had it a few years ago when I was backpacking. I started using it as I kept on getting terrible thrush after each period. The doctor recommended that I went back to using sanitary towels, which I really wasn’t keen on doing. A friend then recommended that I try the mooncup, and since then I’ve never looked back. More than anything, I love the fact that it’s reusable – no more bleached tampons and all the wasteful packaging that comes with it. I’ve told all my female friends about it and have encouraged them to at least buy one to try it out. It’s kind of like marmite, you either love it or hate it.

I have been using the mooncup for about 6 months and it is fantastic. Trying to tell friends about it is the most difficult bit – they all react in the same way – yuck! So I love the new campaign loveyourvagina.com… will be passing that on!

when i first heard about mooncups i was a little bit suspicious to say the very least. How could something so strange make such a big difference to my life? I hated using tampons and that time of the month” used to fill me with dread. Now i’m using the mooncup all the dread has melted away. thank you so much to all at mooncup for your fantastic product. xx”””

Well I have had mine for about 6 months now and can honestly say it has changed my life. The first month was pretty challenging and bruising at times but by the second month I had got the hang of it and really haven’t looked back. Totally liberating. No more towels, tampons, leaks, mess or waste. I can head off in to the wilds without a care in the world and recently went snowholing in the Cairngorms on my heaviest days- normally I would have had to carry out a huge bundle of sanitary waste. Just one word of advice- don’t use snow to rinse it out!!!! (Yikes that was cold). :o/

Have been using a Mooncup for about 2 years now and since day one I’ve never looked back. In my opinion it’s the best thing since sliced bread! It’s environmentally friendly and saves me a lot of money too.

I have had the mooncup for approx 2 mths, as soon as i got it i practiced, and was rather looking forward to “using it for real”. I can honestly say WOW – I did have to trim the tube and have trimmed it a couple of time now. I feel totally comfortable with it, and that was on my first period. I saw an advert for this approx 1yr ago and a collegue thought it was BAD so i was put off, but boy i wish i did it soon!! go ahead dont think twice go for it, it is totally amazing !!

I have been using the mooncup for nearly two years and am amazed by it’s ease and cleanliness. I love it. It is environmentally friendly, extremely cost effective, always at hand and importantly non-toxic to the human body. Why didn’t I discover it earlier?!

I came onto this site after seeing the cryptic poster advert for ‘loveyourvagina.com’ at my tram stop. I was suspicious it might be a ploy of a horrid feminine hygiene company to sell weird scented products, but I was absolutely delighted to see that mooncup had gone in for some big advertising! At last! I’ve used a mooncup for about 3 years now and would never ever go back to tampons. Admittedly I’ll never feel joy at having to empty / change it, but I only need to do it in the morning and at night – not like having to change tampons all the time. My main reason for buying one was environmental but I keep using it because I feel so much healthier using it. I haven’t had thrush in years which is incredible as I used to suffer with it every month. Honestly please do believe all the great things women are saying about mooncup and buy one if you haven’t yet!!

This is a great product, I cannot recommend it more. I used to be a regular user of tampons, but I am very consciousness about the environment. I was shocked to find the amount of landfill space that is taken up by sanitary products alone.
I also found that tampons when used regularly could be quite drying.

I ordered the mooncup with the thought that if i didn’t like it is was only £18 . I have found that this has repaid itself many times over and throughly a good investment.

However, I do have to say that, just like tampons you get used to putting it in and taking it out. I am not squeamish about my menstrual blood and do not mind being up-close-and-personal with it when emptying it and washing it out, but if you do have a problem with it, it may take a while longer to get used to.

I think that this is such a good product, I am 19 and I have recommended it to all of my friends.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!

I bought my Mooncup from Boots about a year and a half ago. It takes a bit of getting used to and I’ve had three kids so that makes it a bit easier (if you know what I mean!). What’s great is that you never run out of tampons at the wrong time and have to borrow or find a chemist that’s open. I’ve even knitted a Mooncup cosy for mine!If you care about yourself and the environment, use a Mooncup.
