It’s hard to explain how brilliant Mooncup is! It makes life so much easier!

Vicky – 05 March 2011

I’ve been thinking about trying a Mooncup for a while now and finally bought one last month. I can honestly say I’ve just had the most comfortable period of my life! I usually get cramps and stomachache, but I have had hardly any pain, and because of this I have slept through the night. It seems that because the blood flows into the cup rather than into an outwards-expanding tampon it just does not hurt as much.I feel cleaner and so much happier that I am not contributing to yet more landfill!! No leaks, no mess, and I feel so much more comfortable. Best move I ever made!

Truly one of the very best purchases I have ever made – a great invention. I have been using it for about three years now and never want to go back. Only wish I’d known about it years ago. I was initially drawn to the idea of it being environmentally friendly and economic. It is both of those but also incredibly comfortable, easy to use and healthy. Wish I could persuade more women to try it!

I was very happy when I picked up my first Mooncup, since I’d been thinking about the use of a cup instead of pads or tampons for a while, especially because my periods get very heavy. It was a little clumsy to use at first, but after about 2 or 3 cycles I had the entire process down pat. And I feel so much safer with the cup because I don’t have to worry about waste or affecting the environment anymore with feminine product disposal. I feel much more free and able to move and do performance work thanks to the wonderful adaptability of the mooncup. I have recommended it to at least 5 or 6 of my friends, as well as promoted it to friends and communities online.

Dear Mooncup,
I wore you to my Valentines ball
With a white corset, white tights
white knickers, and not much more
A dangerous gamble one might say
for being on the second day
of the red moon
party could of ended soon
Happily I’m pleased say
You kept me safe, no stains displayed
In the flow, new love did grow

Love Lucy

AMAZING!
In the past periods I hated.
Tampons and sanitary pads were so outdated.
I hated all that throwing away,
and thought there’s got to be another way!
Then at Glastonbury I saw a sign.
Moon cups I thought that sounds fine.
But actually it’s changed my view,
and now each month I shout woo woo!
My Mooncup I really rate.
It’s never going out of date!

By the way how often should I buy a new one??

Janie – 22 February 2011

After putting off buying one for two years due to fears over the size I can safely say this is one of the best things I have ever discovered- and it’s only my second day of using it!After a couple of initial difficulties with insertion and removal [I imagine as I practise this will get better and better] I used it over night and it was amazing- not a drop spilt, comfortable, wonderful! Feel so much cleaner, wearing nice underwear and hardly period-y at all.
It’s even given me the confidence to stay over my boyfriend’s something I’d never usually do when on my period over my paranoia of gross tampon strings and messing his bathroom up- but now, I feel totally secure!
Thank you so much for this brilliant addition to my life.

Abi – 20 February 2011

Wow, I can’t believe that I’ve suffered painful and very heavy periods for years. I’ve just started using my Mooncup, I’m into my 3rd day of my period, when by now I’d be feeling very sorry for myself with the constant run to the toilet to change my protection (that never really was very effective). My cramps haven’t happened this month (no idea why) and I’m no way near as heavy (again, no idea why). Just go and buy one it’s the best £20 I’ve spend in years.

Patricia – 19 February 2011

I have now been using this for just three periods and already I know I’m never going back to tampons.I’m not going to lie and say everything was/is perfect, it was difficult the first few days to get it out again, also it kinda grossed me out for a while being a little mucky sometimes with blood getting on my hands. But I got used to that, and now that I’ve had some practice it is tidier, not as clean as inserting/removing an applicator tampon, but hey. The best thing about it is never suddenly realising that I have no tampons left (and sometimes no money to buy more being a student!) I just start carrying it around with me a few days before I’m due on. I do still wear thin pantyliners because there is a tiny bit of leaking, but that’s livable with 🙂
So basically, it’s a very cheap alternative, discreet and good for the environment.
