I ordered my very first Mooncup (via Amazon) a few weeks ago and had the chance to put it to the test when my period began today. After just a few hours I am completely converted. I cannot even begin to express how happy I am that this product exists, and that I never have to fiddle with pads or tampons ever again. There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to inserting/removing the cup but I got the hang of it fairly quickly. A great product that I will definitely be recommending to others.

Day 1The collection device arrived and having watched and read a number of instruction techniques the mission was all systems go. Supporting equipment spread and lowered attempts resulted in “tail reduction”
Day 2
Mission aborted due to slippage
Day 3
New attempt at launch seems successful in first moments of flight. NASA scientist to continue with mission, it seems all systems go.
Day 4
The day started with the extraction, a surprisingly deep retrieval aided by the collaborative approach by the other chute.
A new adventure began after deep cleaning equipment and surrounding launch platform.
Take off was amateur but the shuttle is now in space.

stay tuned ……

I’ve been using my cup for several months now, and I’m in love with it. For me, it’s much more comfortable than tampons, and it’s much more cleaner than using pads. I was so excited (and proud!) to first use it, and I’ve never really had any problems. At first I was scared of leaks so I used pads with it, but I had nothing to worry about – there were no leaks! I’ve used it at work, the gym, on a bike, and whilst sleeping and I’ve never had any issues.
I really wish I was taught about cups when I was growing up, rather than having to chance upon them myself. Despite that, I’m really glad that I did find mooncup when I did. I feel so much more comfortable with myself and my cycle now and that in itself is worth more than the price of one cup. Thanks mooncup!

Hi, I just wanted to take a moment and let everyone know how in just one week Mooncup has changed my life as an active female. I’ve always had very heavy flows, resorting to costly overnight pads just to make it through a couple of hours. As we all know, feminine hygiene is in no way cheap, and it definitely adds up over time 🙁 . Aside from the obvious fact that these are earth friendly and body friendly, I just wanted to say that I cramp far less now and don’t fear leaks! With the low set insertion, it’s easy and comfortable to use the mooncup. Tampons were always very uncomfortable, because I dry out easily and they aren’t effective on clots. With mooncup, I’m now free to go about my life without interruption or having to use birth control as a management system! If you’re skeptical on the comfort, don’t worry. I’ll admit, the first few insertions were difficult, figuring out how I was comfortable getting it in. But I found my position and haven’t felt it since! (Sometimes it makes me double guess if I even put it in! But the lack of mess is kind of an obvious clue haha) I look forward to many years of being care-free and uninhibited by my periods. Thank you Mooncup, for being everything you claim to be and more! Sincerely, a very grateful customer. <3 🙂

The mooncup is absolutely amazing! I’ve had mine about a year and a half, and have convinced several friends to get them. Environmentally-friendly, convenient, comfortable, economical– I even forget I have my period when I’m using my mooncup. It has honestly changed my life and I tell that to all of my female friends. I wish you advertised more in the U.S. so more people could laugh at tampon ads the way I do now!

I saw a mooncup link shared on facebook a couple of years ago and remember thinking it was a bit gross, but it must have stuck in my mind because I recently bought one. Having to carry a nappy bag around with me all the time since having babies, it’s nice to have one less thing to remember to pack. It only took me one afternoon to get used to it, gradually trimming the stem away and now it’s completely comfortable. More people should know about the mooncup, the only obvious choices are tampons and sanitary towels. It’s worth sharing the knowledge, even if people are a bit grossed out at first, because they might come around to it in the end like I did.

The first time I tried putting in the Moon Cup was a bit awkward and slightly shocking… The cup seemed so big! But now that I’ve gotten the hang of it, I love it! The Moon Cup is easily the 2nd best thing I’ve ever put in my vagina. 🙂

As an extremely active individual (skydiver, snowboarder, sailor, camper, hiker, etc.) I was always finding myself very limited around my menstrual cycle times, always being forced to drag around boxes of tampons everywhere I went. Sometimes, if I wasn’t prepared, I’d be stuck out miles away from shore with only my brother on our boat, or up on top of a mountain in the snow, and not have a single tampon on me. Plus, having severely heavy periods on a very irregular basis made my menstruation incredibly difficult to deal with (not to mention the literally crippling pain associated with a flow as heavy as mine is). Also, being a very eco-conscious person has made me feel even worse about using disposable tampons so frequently. On a suggestion from a friend, I decided to look into alternative sanitary protection, and I was just so blown away by all of the glowing reviews about the mooncup that I had to give it a go. I just experienced my first period with the mooncup, and I am a complete convert. I also just went sailing with my brother and had zero problems with leakage, pain, and unpreparedness. I’m relieved to be free from the ‘tampon curse’ and will never, ever go back. I realize how awful tampons are now, as I would endure extreme vaginal swelling, pain, and irritation from constant usage. Even worse, because of their constant leakage, I would have to wear ‘period panties,’ or panties that were badly stained from previous periods because of leaky tampons, in order to avoid staining new panties. I didn’t even realize how horrible that whole process was until I stopped being forced into it. I found the mooncup very easy to use (even as a beginner) and very comfortable. Incredibly enough, all of my stabbing menstrual pains have vanished completely. Further, I can continue with my active lifestyle uninterrupted and with no pain, no cost, and no environmental impact. Thank you, to all the women behind the mooncup; you have changed my life.

Love! Why did I not know about this and try it sooner! I will admit that the first try with the mooncup was unsuccessful due to nerves. However, on my second attempt I found insertion easy (I laid on my back first time). I had no trouble with leaks at all. None. Say goodbye to ruining your favourite underpants. I will say that neither the C fold or punch down methods worked for me. I use the triangle fold. Go to youtube for demonstrations on other folds if you are having trouble. I’ve also found that pinching the bottom of the cup to where it’s almost in the C fold for removal helped me as well. The benefits are worth it. I’m also ecstatic that when I return to the US, I’ll still be able to order the mooncup under the mcuk name. Thank you so much for changing the lives of women everywhere!
