MoonCup Menstrual Cup

After my 2nd baby, I wanted to switch to more natural products and this was one of them. In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have tried to use it for my first cycle after baby was born (my cycle was very, very heavy). It took me a few days to figure out how to use the cup correctly, and it got a bit messy at times! But after watching a few videos I got the hang of it and it became my new favourite menstrual product. I haven’t switched back to tampons and recommend the cup to all my friends.

These are easy to use once you get the hang of it, and easy to clean/maintain too. I love that I’m not longer using wasteful tampons and the cup is way better for my body...definitely a winner!

The menstrual cup thing wasn't my 'thing' until I won one - another brand. I loved the concept, and my body and me hate tampons and the like, so this seemed like a great alternative. After failing with the one I won - I did my research to find one that had fabulous reviews to give it one last go before giving it a miss, and I'm so glad I did. I found MoonCup, it works and I haven't looked back.

I purchased the MoonCup and it arrived in a box, with great instructions and a cute pouch for storing the cup when not in use. Using any cup is a bit of a 'fiddle' at first, and it absolutely takes time to work it out - but I highly recommend reading the instructions that come with the moon cup because they're awesome. If all else fails there's loads of tips and tricks on the internet for getting a menstrual cup to work for you.

This cup is super comfortable once in (I can only compare to one other brand), It's firm to insert, and what makes it really fantastic is that its silicon is really firm, so sits tight once inserted so I know there's little risk of leaking as long as I've inserted it correctly (it takes practice and understanding the direction all the body parts point, to point the cup in the right direction as well). The important thing with inserting the cup is to relax - it's something I have to consciously tell myself sometimes.

I have a very crazy heavy cycle and can honestly say the MoonCup made coping with that so much easier and less stressful. I'm no longer in tears as I deal with the heavy period. I couldn't and wouldn't go back to icky tampons and pads. I feel better for the change, and feel better the planet is better for my change.

Very sceptical about using one to start with but when I did start I have never looked back so good knowing I can leave it I’m for up to 12 hours before removing , never had a problem with leakages and its a great feeling knowing I’m not putting any unknown chemicals in my body by using a eco friendly product and the money I’m saving by not using tampons or pads

Menstrual cups are amazing!!! They do take a little getting used to but they save so much money and keep so much rubbish out of the landfil. There's no risk of toxic shock or gross wet strings from tampons. No rubbing from using pads for days on end. I will never go back to using disposable products.

I've tried a couple cup and this is the best one. Good fit and it's trustworthy to do the job. Saves money, the environment and is easy clean. I love it.
