Best investment I’ve made this year!

I was first introduced to the idea of a mooncup through a friend. I have always been concerned about the environment, and the environmental hazards of using disposable items. I was initially a little wary about the mooncup as I have never been able to use tampons as they are uncomfortable and, frankly, a little scary! However, I still went ahead and tried the mooncup after being egged on by my ethical conscience and reading the testimonials of others. What can I say?! This product is incredible. It does not leak and it is extremely comfortable. No nasty smells or dryness either, which was what I had come to associate with periods! Many people might think looking at their own blood would be a little grotesque, but its really not- Im the most squeamish person alive and have never batted an eyelid using the mooncup. Its actually quite pleasant in a strange way because you get to see whats coming out of you rather than having something absorbing it all as though it is wrong and not supposed to be there- it puts you more in touch with your body. Whats more, I found it very easy to use- far easier than a tampon. I have been using it for 3 months now and will never, ever look back! I might also add that I am only 19 years old, and have found it ideal for my active, busy lifestyle. I think this product is a godsend and that many younger girls could benefit from using one. I also live in shared accommodation, and I find the mooncup a lot more convenient than towels and tampons because theres no faffing around with those dirty sanitary bins, and you dont have to empty it as often. This product has simultaneously freed me from the burdens of uncomfortable and cumbersome sanitary wear, improved my body confidence and reduced my carbon footprint. I think it may be the best thing I have ever done! Everyone should try one- open your mind beyond the whole disposable is the only clean and hygienic way of doing things idea that weve been force-fed since the age of around 8 and breakfree of the tampax stranglehold! You will never look back!

really want to share my experience that i just used it once and i love it. it needs alot of practice to use it first time but once you get the hang of it, you would wish that knew abt it before. thanks for bringing this product out.

I’ve been using the mooncup for last three months now and what a great invention! I’m that pleased with it I’ve actually gave my towels and tampons away, although raved about mooncup in the process! I read about mooncup in a magazine and thought it to be gross at first I must admit! After discussing it with my friend we both thought we’d give it a try and both will never look back! I used to get thrush from tampons and discomfort due to dryness but not anymore! The mooncup is the best invention ever! It’s easy to apply and remove once you get the hang of it and no more carrying around tampons and towels in your bag, just your tiny mooncup! Love it! Thankyou mooncup!!!!!!!!! X

My grandma bought me a mooncup for my birthday a few months ago and at first I was alittle put off because I kept inserting it the wrong way and the cup kept suckering onto the wrong places which was uncomfortable. My mooncup stayed in my knicker drawer and I went back to tampons. Then last month I was at the supermarket looking at the tampons and I couldn’t get over how expensive they are (4.00 a box!) so I just walked away and gave the mooncup another go and I’m so glad I did! Once you get a knack for inserting and removing the cup it’s so easy to use, it holds so much fluid I don’t even spot, (no more soaking knickers in bleach in my basin) and I never have to worry about where my next tampon is coming from. Not to mention how good it is for the environment, I just empty it into the toilet, wash it with alittle soap and water and put it back in. I was walking home from the library today and I saw two men loading all the sanitary bins from my student halls into the back of a truck, I shudder to think what horrible chemicals they use to treat them. As I walked home with my mooncup inside me I felt good knowing that I wasn’t adding to that problem!

I’ve been using the mooncup for a year now. What I like best about it is that you don’t feel like you’re having your periods. Like some of the other posters on this board, the first couple of days of my period are really heavy – it’s good being able to (1) have something that can stay in for a few hours without having to be changed every hour – especially since I’m a teacher, and can’t keep running out of the classroom, and (2) know exactly how much I bleed every period – I always doubted that it was just a couple of spoonfuls, now I know!
The mooncup has now been to several countries with me, and all over Europe and Asia on holidays – and has saved me a LOT of money and packing space!

I have been using Mooncup for about 6 months – its brilliant! Always used tampons, always had leaks and felt guilty about the waste. Mooncup is easy to use (sure – you need to get used to it) and gets you connected with your body and how it works. Its not gross and unhealthy (this is YOUR body afterall)- I think its beneficial for environment, has reduced cramps and I find it really convenient as I am always on the go. I am not an Earth-mother type of person (read Grazia, love shopping, watch ANTM for my sins!) – but Mooncup is really a genius bit of kit. Highly recommend it.

I bought my Mooncup a couple of weeks ago and have just used it for the first time. That is, I put it in several hours ago and have just had my first daunting attempt at removing it … and it was a doddle! I’d read all the testimonials first and taken on board the problems some people had had with them, so I suppose you could say I was prepared. So, for this, my first time, I squatted in the bath, just in case of any spillage. And there was none! I won’t say it came out easily, exactly, but it only took me a couple of minutes to remove (I’m pleased I watched the video on the website first explaining how to use), then another couple to wash and reinsert. And, despite what you might expect, it is far less messy than removing a tampon! I’m impressed! There has been absolutely no leakage (although this IS only the first day of my period, so I’ll wait and see what the next couple of days is like) and it is MUCH more comfortable than a tampon (with which I always experience some leakage). I’d read about a similar product several years ago in a magazine and just wish I’d hunted down the Mooncup and tried it sooner!

I think that tampons and pads/towels promote the idea that your period is dirty, smelly and uncomfortable, secret and taboo. I know I felt that way when I first started. Since getting my Mooncup (two days ago) I feel so sad that disposable sanitary products are the norm. The difference that it makes to your feelings about your period to use something clean, soft and reusable is hard to explain to the the uninitiated. Something about being able to just wash the blood away feels so much healthier, and to be able to see it properly, as a natural thing caught in a clean, transparent cup.
You’ve changed my life.
Thank you Mooncup!
