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.

MoonCup Menstrual Cup
The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup, around two inches long and made from soft medical grade silicone.
It is worn internally a lot lower than a tampon but, while tampons and pads absorb menstrual fluid, the Mooncup collects it.
This means it doesn’t cause dryness or irritation, and also that it collects far more (three times as much as a tampon!).
Because the Mooncup is reusable, you only need one so it saves you money and helps the environment, too.
The Mooncup is designed to be folded and inserted into the vagina, then removed, rinsed and reinserted up to every 8 hours. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls, allowing menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. This seal is released for removal, allowing you to empty the contents, rinse or wipe and reinsert. Comfortable, convenient and safe the Mooncup can be used overnight and when travelling, swimming or exercising.
Available in 2 sizes.

Tips: Google the different types of folding techniques and try a few different ways to work out which is best for you. I always wet mine with water to make it easier to insert. Only change in a bathroom with a sink (or in the shower).
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.
Menstrual cups are just amazing! They save so much money and no more items you'll need to carry around. It fits me well, is easy to insect when it was wet and I empty it out twice a day in the shower and don't think about it the rest of the time. Been using for many years and wont ever go back to messy disposal items.

I have had my mooncup about 4 years now. When I first got it I was struggling to insert and remove it, now I wouldn't be without it. I have PCOS so have very heavy painful periods, with this the pain is greatly reduced, I am no longer spending the first day curled up with a hot water bottle and hoping for the pain killers to work, instead a couple of Panadol does the trick and I can get on with my day. It also has cut down the length of my cycle form 7 days to 4.
I do find it a bit gross to empty if I let it get too full. I need to empty it once during the day as well as when I wake up and again before bed, although if you don't have heavy periods just morning and night might be enough. When emptying I just pour it straight into the toilet,and wipe with toilet paper before reinserting. When I'm in the shower I give it a good wash. I use Milton sterilising tablets at the end of my cycle to get rid of any nasties before next time.
Tips: If you put a couple of squares of toilet paper in the loo before emptying it means you wont need to flush twice
I think that i am the only person i know who didnt like my moon cup! When it first arrived, i was so excited and couldn't wait for my period to come. The cup was larger than i was expecting and i was a little scared about trying it. I had a few unsuccessful tries getting it in. For starters, getting it in there is difficult. If you are in a small cubicle, it would be almost impossible. I felt like a gymnast around my bedroom stretching everywhere to get it in (and yes i did fold it and tried multiple ways). Once it was in, it was comfortable and i couldn't even feel it was there. I thought, phew that was a workout, but its in now, i can relax etc. Then the time came to get it out... it was stuck. Like really stuck. I tried everything to get it out on my own but ended up having to get my partner to get it out for me.. embarrassing! I would never in a million years try my moon cup again. It just wasn't for me.
Heard absolutely great things about the moon cups so i tried, was at work (doing stock)and it leaked thru i honestly think i did it wrong but i have literally been to scared to try again. But others ive talked to absolutely love it
I'm going to be honest. I was scared of this product. The size is bigger than what I was expecting, roughly fits in the palm of your hand. It's rubbery and is not as squishy as I thought it would have to be, it's more like a Tupperware muffin cup (lol). I've never been crazy about the concept of putting something inside my body, but do appreciate the simplicity of tampons and cleanliness they create. This mooncup proved to be a problem, I literally didn't know how to insert it. I had to watch YouTube videos on tips and tricks but none of them helped. I failed dramatically at this, but have seen others LOVE it!
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
