I started using the mooncup because I believed there must have been an eco-friendly, re-usable, safe and practical alternative to tampons which I found unpredictable and such a hassle. The first few months with the new cup were fiddly, messy and frustrating and I even resorted to using tampons a lot of the time but eventually I mastered mess-free insertion and removal and I love, love, love my mooncup. I am only 16 and so glad I discovered the mooncup and converted to it instead of making do with tampons for the next 30 years! If you can get over the eww-factor, please give it a go – you’ll be amazed at the difference!

Just started using yesterday evening. The friend who got one also at the same time I did just asked me if I had trouble with it? For me it wasn’t the putting in, but the first getting out. Laughable, actually, like something out of a Katherine Heigl comedy. After wondering if I were going to have to have it professionally extracted, I pulled the instructions out and read again, and then had easier time, and have not had problems since.
Love, love, love not having to have anything WITH me, love its being secure, love its logical design (GAAHH!!! Who was the sadist that designed TAMPONS??!), love not having to store millions of pads, pantyliners, and tampons in my tiny closet space, love not contributing to landfills.

I bought mine at the Seattle Green Festival and found myself trying to be “discreet” as I walked away from the booth. If I had it to do over again I wouldn’t try to hide it under my scarf in my tote. I would hold it up in my hand and shout, “All you women who don’t have one of these, you need to go get one NOW!”

Thank you so much for producing these. XO

I am, amongst other things, a triathlete, which means I spend a LOT of time in the pool, on a bike and running. I never liked tampons – uncomfortable and invasive, but being as active as I am over your period is really tough using pads, they’re unavoidable.
I LOVE my mooncup! It is one of the best investments I have ever made, and I don’t even notice it’s there. I know it won’t leak in the pool, and I don’t feel it even after 3 hours on the bike (everything else hurts mind you!)d.
It is so liberating in lots of ways to be able to be active, comfortably, during my period. Amazing, thank you 🙂

I’ve been using the mooncup for a while now and it really is fantastic. I went hiking in Nepal and the altitude can often mess up your cycle, even if you’re on hormonal contraceptives but the mooncup was great because it goes in really easily when you’ve got a very light period or are just spotting, its reusable so no pesky waste to get rid of on a mountain side, and its so comfortable you literally won’t know its there. It just fantastic. A massive thumbs up from me, I am a total convert 🙂

I bought a mooncup after a friend ‘shared’ the page on facebook. I have been using it for two months and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Comfortable, no leaks, and you quickly get better at inserting and removing it comfortably. I have been telling all my pals, and finding lots of them have been using one for years!
Just think… no more feeling minging with sanitary towels, no more tampons exploding in my rucksack when I get caught in a rainstorm and my bag leaks, no more waste in the sea and landfills.

I can’t recommend them highly enough. Buy one. Then spread the word!

I am in love! It has only been a few days but I can’t even begin to immagine going back to tampons. Yes, it takes a few tries to figure out how to properly insert and remove, but I practiced a few times before hand and I have not had one leak! I have no idea what took me so long to try it. Thank you for such an amazing product!

Lauren – 26 May 2011

I have been using the mooncup for 2 years now and love it! To begin with, it took me until my 3rd month of using it to really use it confidently. But now I understand my body more from using the mooncup and will always use it. I’m still suprised that some women still have never heard about a mooncup, I think every woman should have one and I enjoy spreading the word about it.

Venus – 23 May 2011

A friend told me about it and I was meaning to give it a go, although was put off by it’s ‘hippy’ image i guess, until she said she hadn’t looked back and the thought of using a tampon seemed really unhygienic now, so i gave it a go. Brilliant! Took a month to get used to it. Can’t feel it, never leak, don’t have to worry about carrying stuff, no money on tampons, environmental, less ‘dragging’ period pain, more comfort. Thank you!

I have been using the Mooncup for 8 years now, and I LOVE IT. It took me a couple of cycles to get used to it and learn to trust that it won’t leak. But once you get the hang of it, it works brilliantly. In addition to not having to deal with “my period” as often during the day, I like knowing that I am doing something for the environment. And the fact that I save money in the process is a huge bonus. I can’t recommend this product enough. I LOVE IT

I’m just buying my second mooncup after 7 years of use with the first one. I absolutely adore it. I’ve told all my friends now and still talk about it to as many women as i can. It’s comfortable, practical, environmentally friendly, cheap compared to other products, natural. I personally see absolutely nothing to moan about!!! Thanks for having such a vision and market it in the first place knowing that one lasts a few years.
