TESTIMONIALS

I love my Mooncup! I’m so incredible happy I’ve found it! I have been using Mooncup for 5 years now, and I can only encourage every one to buy one! It’s absolutely convenient for traveling, because you don’t have to change it so often. My period might not be as strong as some other women have, but I just change my Mooncup in the morning and in the evenings. So it’s perfect for traveling. You don’t have to carry stuff with you, except a water bottle if you like to change it during the day. I always forgot tampons at home or to buy new ones, so I really happy I don’t have to think of carry them with me. I can go swimming and into sauna without hoping that nobody can see that I’m wearing a tampon. I don’t have to go to the toilet every time I go for a swim, because Mooncup will not soak in water. I can do sports even hard ones. I always felt my tampons when doing sports with a lot of jumps, not with my Mooncup. I can’t feel it, it doesn’t matter what I’m doing. I always had problems with tampons on my very last days because my period wasn’t really strong then and tampons hurt really much when changing, I hate pads. So I’m really happy with my Mooncup, it doesn’t matter how strong my period is or if I have only spotting before getting my period, I can wear it and feel clean. Yes you can see your blood, but I think that’s nature. Why being afraid of seeing your own blood, it’s not ugly and you get used to it.

When I was younger, my sister told me ” Buy a mooncup”, it’s amazing ! But I told her I couldn’t because I wasn’t able yet to put a tampon, I had a real problem with that. After it will be easier. But I was still not convinced to buy a cup. And this year, with some friends, we made a collective purchase order. And I think it helped me a lot. Because me share our own experience between us and our tips and tricks to be comfortable with. I’m quite ecological, and I’m so happy to don’t have to pollute with my tampons anymore. The mooncup is a sollution
more ecologic
more economic
easier
more hygienically
So don’t wait anymore !

I have been a moon cup user for over 2 years now and to be incredibly cheesy, it has changed my life!I used to dread my ‘time of the month’, I suffered from heavy periods and therefore trips to the loo were frequent for me both day and night.
Since using moon cup, I suffer from considerably less stomach cramps and trips to the toilet!
I will say that it takes a bit of getting used to and you have to be very ‘familiar’ with yourself but once you have the hang of it, it’s safe to say that you will not regret your purchase.
After a bit of trial and error, i have found that I only have to empty a few times a day and not at all during the night. I no longer suffer from leaks and even the though of using a tampon again makes me feel really dirty!
I think that every young woman should be taught about mooncups as they are still very much a taboo subject (why???)

Ruby – 10 June 2014

My sister has been using Mooncup for like forever and she kept on telling me to get one but i insisted against it. And then my cousin bought one and they were both going on about how great the mooncup is, so I said I would try it but not necessarily keep on using it.
The first time was awkward as I wasn’t used to putting it on and off but i fell in love with it and I’ve been using it since.
It is great as I used to get really sore using both tampons (as i dnt have a heavy flow and i was always feeling dry) and towels. My daughters, if I ever have any, will be using Mooncup as soon as they are able to.

Cristina – 08 June 2014

I agree with lots of the other testimonials but I wanted to add my four favourite things about using a mooncup. Firstly – on busy days when am not sure if I am going to start my period I just pop it in so I am prepared. Secondly, you don’t have to grab your handbag in public whenever you need to pop to the bathroom. Thirdly you don’t have the dilemma of whether you should wrap or flush. Lastly, on my heavy days tampons would only last for one hour. So I would always dash to the bathroom just before going out and be on the hunt for bathrooms every hour but trying not to change too early or leaving it too late. With mooncup – I don’t have the stress of running out of tampons and I can empty it whenever it is convenient with no added expense.

Fiona – 04 June 2014

Incredible. Easy to use, comfortable and convenient. Can’t believe I’ve been using tampons all these years.

Claŕe – 01 June 2014

I finally bought a moon cup, 9 years after I first heard about it and wanted one!!! When I was 12 I saw an advert and thought- this is amazing! Seems so easy and environmentally friendly! But alas my mum wasn’t keen so i left it and forgot about it. I recently saw another advert so did some more research.
I think women in this day and age are made to feel like periods are gross and something to keep hidden- even away from yourself, so at first I thought it was really disgusting to tip out your own period blood. Then after some research I thought it’s no more ‘disgusting’ than using tampons or disposable sanitary towels. Its better for the environment and cheaper in the long run! I also am paranoid about leaking and having something to collect flow rather than absorb does a better job I think.

Anyway, my moon cup arrived literally on the last day of my period so I practiced getting it in and out- it was harder than I expected (But I did expect it to be like a tampon). Now I’m on my next period and used it straight away, I have not leaked and it’s been in place longer than I would leave a tampon in. Putting it in is much easier, still perfecting my removal technique but it’s still only technically my second/third day of using it.

I would recommend this product, its not drying like tampons, although I suspect you may get sore if you are removing/adjusting it all the time- the key is relaxing! Going to try it swimming and overnight on a heavy flow and then I will repost if it’s done the job, because it’s safe to say that I think I’ve been converted!

Tara B – 29 May 2014

Mooncup is awesome, forget any misgivings you might have because once you’ve got one you will never look back…

Victoria – 28 May 2014

I really love my mooncup. I’ve been using it for about a year, and it is perfect for me. On my light days I can leave it in all day, and it is very comfortable. Can’t imagine using anything other than the mooncup for my mensies in the future!

April – 25 May 2014

I decided to give Mooncup a go as I am going travelling for a few years in September, starting off in South East Asia. The thought of taking an infinite amounts of tampons just wasn’t going to be possible, along with disposal issues, it just isn’t practical.
Firstly I read as much as I could about them and had difficulty figuring out which size would suit me best – being on the cusp of 30 with no children. I emailed Mooncup who asked me questions and gave good advice, so I settled with the smaller size.

To begin with it wasn’t easy. At all.
Inserting it was much easier than I had imagined but getting it out was beyond difficult! I read all the advice, tried all the techniques but it felt like it was never going to come out, over an hour was spent fiddling about each time, getting dizzy and muscles aching from the random positions I was trying!
Once out, all was well! Little to no spillages and no leakage at all once inserted – just getting it out was a mission and a half!

However, I had confidence that, like I had read, it would get easier the more you do it and that couldn’t be more true! This is my third period using Mooncup and although I was dreading the removal initially it has been very quick and easy, mere minutes and it’s all done – I’ve definitely got the hang of it now! Feels great!

I seriously cannot recommend this product highly enough, the perseverance is completely necessary yet entirely worth it. It feels amazing knowing that I don’t have to carry and dispose of tampons anywhere anymore, let alone when travelling.

The financial, economical and health benefits are reason enough to give it a try.
I am considering purchasing another one for a spare – just in case!

deb – 22 May 2014

when i head of this mooncup i was a bit neves a bout using it took me 3 gos to put it but now iam having no problems with it now i have now stoped useing tampons i fill much better having this inside me i do not fill it when its in side me ill keep on useing it thank you .

katherine – 22 May 2014

Four months ago I bought my moon cup and I’ve been in love ever since. I got a moon cup because I was so over putting weird chemical laden tampons into my body and I wanted a healthy and sustainable alternative.
I’ve had a real easy time with my moon cup. It’s easy to insert and remove, not at all messy, and I haven’t had ANY problems with leakage. When I was using tampons I believed that I had an extra heavy long period- maybe up to 6 days. Now with my moon cup, my periods are significantly shorter… 2 days! What is this magic?

I do lots of things with my moon cup: riding my bike, practicing yoga, running around the park with kids, sleeping, camping, and traveling. It’s all been wonderful! I can’t believe it took me so long to switch!

If you’re reading these testimonials because you are scared of trying it: Just do it! It will change the way you experience your menstrual cycle. Don’t be afraid! It’s only a moon cup!

Lady – 20 May 2014

I’m 22 years old and have only ever used sanitary towels. I was a bit nervous about the idea of a mooncup as I hadn’t found tampons to be comfortable, however, my reservations were completely dispelled upon using it. Today is my first day using my mooncup, and I’m totally converted. I feel cleaner and more comfortable than I’ve ever felt during my period before. I definitely reccomend buying and using a mooncup. They’re great! Don’t hesitate, it’s completely worth it.

Hope – 20 May 2014

I have very heavy and short periods which caused me lots of logistical problems. I also do martial arts and my heavy periods were stopping me doing this on certain days. I came across the Mooncup by accident. It was an instant solution for me. It did take a few cycles to perfect but I haven’t looked back.

Vicky – 15 May 2014

I was wondering for a long time if there were alternatives to pads and tampons. A friend of mine spoke about Mooncup and told me how great it was.I’ve never got on using tampons so I’ve always stuck using pads, which when in the gym or using communal showers (I play rugby)or doing sport in general isn’t really convenient. The smell and wet feeling you have with pads is also horrible. Also I’ve never felt comfortable about being on my period whilst on holiday and have always tried to book holidays around it.
I bought my Mooncup a few months before I started using it as I was scared about it being like a tampon. Eventually I (wo)man-upped. I decided to do a few trial runs – when not on my period, so I could get used to it. I found I had nothing to fear.
The first few times I used it on the first day of my period I did leak. I used pads for those first 2 days of the fisrt few months. You learn what feels right when putting it in. It doesn’t hurt to insert it either nor can you feel it once it’s inserted.
It’s really not messy either. I found I actually felt cleaner even when taking it out than when using other sanitary products.
I tell any of my female friends willing to listen about how great the Mooncup is!
I wish I had known about Mooncup 10 years ago! I’m glad I’m now helping the environment and I feel so much more confident and cleaner and happier when it comes to my period. It’s been amazing!

Rhi – 12 May 2014

Ok, I will admit that it took me a while to get used to my Mooncup but I have been successful this month and I am so glad I got one. I only wish I’d started using this as a teenager! I struggled at first because the cup didn’t seem to be fully open when inserted but I tried one of the other methods suggested in the leaflet and now it works brilliantly. No leaks and you can’t feel it’s in. After a couple of uses I was confident enough not to wear a panty liner so the Mooncup not only makes things cleaner and easier for you but it also saves money and the environment! It really is great to be able to get on with your life and not be held back by your period. I just want to tell everyone to try it and persevere – it will be worth it. Thanks, Mooncup! x

Jane – 09 May 2014

I saw this in Boots and thought I’d give i† a try. Once I purchased I visited this website and after reading the hundreds of very positive reviews was very keen to try, so after boiling it for a few minutes decided to pop it in. It took a few goes to get it in comfortably, so I then had an hour to try it out before I went to Pilates. I was worried it would fall out (as I have this problem with tampons after having a couple of children!), absolutely fine, the suction helps keep it in place. Then the test.. I moved around cautiously in my class and after an hour of being upside down, horizontal and upright, no leaks at all, very impressed. It was easy to take out, squeezed it at the bottom and helped it out with my finger, this seemed to be the best way, while hovering over to loo… just in case! No problems whatsoever, emptied it, rinsed it and popped it back in, hey presto! I’ll never go back to tampons. Thank you.

Cassedy – 07 May 2014

I was decidedly skeptical when I bought my mooncup after having had a couple of beers and while waiting for a prescription, and kind of though – why not?!
A year later I have not looked back once, and really cannot say enough good things about the mooncup. I have told friends that it has ‘changed my life!’, and I have to say that this is really not too far off.

The fact that I can empty and change the cup whenever is convenient for me, without having to wait for it to be full or the timing to be right, is really amazing to me. I have an IUD I have fairly heavy periods, and was always having trouble with XL tampons and pads on heavy days. Having to get the timing *just right* to changing everything, as 5 minutes too late there was leakage and disaster everywhere. I now think back to a stressful trip to Egypt and roadtrip through the US where facilities we sparse and timing bathroom breaks with tampon change breaks was really a nightmare… The mooncup has done away with all of that, and I could really really not be happier!

I didn’t find it difficult to use, insert and take out, and you will quickly get the hang of keeping it upright when it’s full too. A bit of practice and voila, I barely think about it these days.

I also love that I am no longer using anything chemically cleaned or with added scents, and the fact that I can just wash and boil the latex is amazing. No more dried out anything! 🙂

I really cannot recommend it enough, and wish I had known about and tried the mooncup years (decades!) ago. Give it a try, I promise, promise you won’t regret it!!

Lisa – 29 April 2014

The moon cup was a brilliant investment. I had thought about trying one and it was the reviews which sold it to me so I’m writing my own. I love it! No more dryness and discomfort when the flows not heavy , it’s not as messy as you’d imagine. Honestly if you’re concidering do yourself the favour and buy one.

Amy – 28 April 2014

I have to admit I was very skeptical, the whole idea of reusing a tampon equivalent struck me as icky! But I just got sick of seeing the bathroom bin fill up with used sanitary products (even more gross) and thinking of the waste, both in environmental and cash terms. So I thought I’d give it a go, and if it didn’t work out it didn’t work out.
Well! What can I say?! It’s everything everyone says! I found it unwieldy to insert on the first go but had no problems after that, think it just takes getting used to (definitely worth wetting it first – it’ll be wet subsequently anyway because you’ll have rinsed it). I had to trim the stem by quite a way but once I’d done that I frequently forgot it was there for long stretches of time, particularly as it doesn’t require changing nearly so often as tampons. I would put it in before work, rinse it when I got home and again before bed. That was it! And it was never full.

I had no leakages for the first time in 14 years. No unsightly strings hanging out when changing underwear in front of the hubster (I always had an ick thing about that and would try to hide when doing underwear changes at lady time, seems ridiculous now), although the poor man has had to listen to me going on about how fabulous the Mooncup is for the whole of my period. He smiles politely poor chap.

I completely agree with the other comments about improved comfort, I normally get that horrible dry feeling on the last couple of days of wearing tampons but I’m not quite ready to go with nothing – not a problem with the Mooncup it doesn’t dry you out and is completely unnoticeable the whole time. I didn’t notice any change in cramps unfortunately but still worth it for increased comfort.

I am 29 but have had no children vaginally or otherwise, so was unsure which size to go for as I’m on the cusp of turning 30. I don’t know what other people think but I went for the smaller size and have had no problems so I would recommend this to people in a similar situation.

My only gripe is, why aren’t these things more widely publicised? I wish I had tried it years ago but didn’t have any information on it until I made the effort to look it up. But when I did, it was the reviews that sold me on it, so here’s mine! If you’re thinking about it, please do it for the sake of your comfort, the environment and your pocket, I promise you will not regret it. I work in a school and will be nagging the Year 6 teachers to include the Mooncup in the suggested sanitary wear as part of our sex education classes. Viva la Mooncup!

Jenny – 26 April 2014

I bought a Mooncup on impulse while visiting the UK a couple of years ago, having heard good reports about menstrual cups from a friend. I was about to fly back to Australia and didn’t want to pack a whole load of bulky pads and tampons in my luggage. I’m very glad I took the risk and left the tampons on the shelf! I would never go back now. It took a bit of getting used to, and I found it uncomfortable until I had completely removed the stem (now I just grasp the very bottom of the cup itself to get it out). After ironing out the teething troubles though, I can’t imagine life without it, as over-blown as that sounds. It makes every period easier to manage, saves loads of money, and is much better for the environment. It is my saviour when I go out camping in the middle of nowhere for weeks at a time for my job – only one small thing to carry, and no waste to worry about!

Ellen – 20 April 2014

A friend of mine told me about Mooncup about a year ago. Although she sold me listing all the advantages, I did not have the courage to get one until last week. Oh, why did I wait? It is definitely the best solution to handling our monthly inevitable discomfort. I read the instructions and managed to use it properly on the first day. Used it for over 8 hours and not a drop has leaked. Taking it out is a bit more “hands on” than a regular tampon or pad, but it is definitely much cleaner and there is no smells at all! I recommend this to all women out there. Eco-friendly, comfy and neater – what else would you want? 🙂
Thank you!!

Amanda – 15 April 2014

Moon cup is fabulous! I’ve had mine about six months now, would never go back to tampons. The benefits for me are no leaking, period pains/ cramps are much reduced, it doesn’t make me feel dry and itchy on lighter days and best of all my periods have gone from 5-6 days long to 2-3 days long! Not sure how that can be but I can only think that it’s down to the moon cup 🙂 Honestly it is so much more comfortable, I even forget that I’m on my period! I went for a 3 mile run the first day of my period this month! That never would’ve happened before, I’d have been sat on the sofa feeling bloated and miserable.Give moon cup a try, you won’t regret it!

Emily – 08 April 2014

I’ve been using the Mooncup for about 18 months now. I’m going to be realistic here and give my truthful opinion, it takes a bit of getting use to. I’ve mastered the art of inserting it but some days my anatomy isn’t having any of it! If I’m slightly constipated I’ve know the cup to turn inside (a little worrying the first time but not a disaster). I also still need to wear a small pad when using it. That said, for 18 months I’ve saved an astronomical amount of money that quite literally would have been flushed away. My only gripe really is when out shopping and you can’t get to a loo with a basin to rinse, I’d like for Mooncup to devise a little box with a spare cup so that you can rinse in the privacy of home later.

Michelle – 08 April 2014

I have been using my mooncup for at least a year now, and I would *never* go back!
I started looking around for other options rather than using tampons as I found them uncomfortable half way through my period causing me dryness.

One of the best benefits is that you can put it in even if your not on your period, so no worrying about if you have started your period or rushing off to the toilet!

I found it a strange concept reading about it before I bought it, but mind of matter ladies, it is amazing!

I cannot recommend the mooncup enough, I wish I was made aware of it in my teens!

Lucy – 04 March 2014

This is THE BEST invention ever…being in the military we go out on exercise…living in the woods…wee-ing in the woods,…there is NOTHING worse than having your period when you’re out..because…well where the hell are you supposed to put used tampons?? in your pocket??This solves that problem, nothing to pack, nothing to worry about “will I be able to change my tampon reguarly” (because you wont)
I am SO glad I bought this, even if it was £50…it would STILL be SO SO SO worth the money.

Amy – 04 March 2014

Took the plunge a few days ago and bought the mooncup . I was a bit skeptical before trying it but I’m so pleased I have ! I found it easy to insert once I tried using the second folding method, it took longer to get good at getting it out but once I realised not to panic I wasn’t going to lose it I have had no problems . As someone who has problems inserting tampons I’m shocked I can use it had no leakage or uncomfort . Have already told all my friends highly recommend it

Liz – 04 March 2014

I’m 35 years old and I have a 3.5 year old daughter. Not long after she was born my cycle started going haywire. I went from a normal cycle to being on for nearly two months straight! Doctors don’t know why and scans show nothing is wrong. A friend suggested I try a mooncup as she’s used hers for 15 years and she has a 2 day cycle! I’ve used it for one cycle but I went from being on for two months straight down to 20 days! Still most women’s worst nightmare but a blessing for me! I hope it continues to help improve my quality of life! I know others have mentioned this as well, but it was so nice to not have to be constantly worried about whether or not I was leaking. This is a phenomenal product. Everyone should get one!

Kara – 02 March 2014

I love the moon cup! I have never been able to wear tampons and pads gave me problems as well. When I first heard a out the mooncup I was a little skeptical, bought one anyway and after a few times of trying would never look back! I had no problems with it at all!My job means I have to travel a lot on planes and my first time trying out my cup was when I was travelling. Changing pads in an airplane toilet isn’t fun but was a breeze with my moon cup! First time was a bit apprehensive but that was more nerves and I was fine! I now look forward to Aunty Flo’ because it is such a breeze and tell everyone and anyone about my moon cup!
Thank you for making life so much easier!

Sophie – 27 February 2014

I ordered the Mooncup and it arrived just in time for my next period! Being excited to try out my new purchase, I put it through as many tests as I could think of:
Running, walking, showering, jumping, napping, and even weight lifting. The Mooncup stayed in place, fit comfortably, and I had zero leakage. Even as I was doing squats, I thought for sure something embarrassing would go wrong but everything turned out fine.

My husband is thrilled that I’m happy, and essentially will be saving us money since I won’t have to buy tampons/pads every month. I wish I’d known about this product earlier or at least was given an option about it when I first started menstruating.

Amber – 23 February 2014

I actually bought the moon cup because a friend of mine had a terrible experience with another menstrual cup brand. I shopped around and even watched some youtube tutorials before landing on the mooncup and finding it worked perfectly with my heavy flow; I would use a super plus tampon and a heavy flow pad and it would only last maybe 3 hours. The cup had a bit of a learning curve, but after trimming the stem a bit and wiggling around (it really helps!) it was barely noticeable. Cleaning and removal was a slow process but all in all the whole thing was a small price to pay for not having to use a tampon.Honestly, I wish I would have tried it sooner.

Cole – 22 February 2014

I just bought my Mooncup a few months ago and I must say that it was the best decision I have even made. It is amazingly comfortable, handy and easy to use. I have already recommended it to all my friends! I am very glad I discovered it and I only wished I had done it earlier. Thank you!

Ana – 19 February 2014

Last month i googled ‘tampons that dont leak’ and the gods of the internet lead me to the mooncup :). Like many others i hate using pads due to the odour and general feeling of ‘wearing a nappy’ .I have always used tampons. I am 28 and started my period at age 13. I have found over the past six or so years my period is heavier and even the super plus tampons tend to leak after 3 hours, sometimes less dependant on what that cycle is like, but never more than 3 hours.

Anyway, after researching the mooncup i found that i could purchase one in Boots. I didn’t want to order online incase of any postal delays. I have spent the last three weeks waiting abd waiting for my period to come so i could try it! Felt like forever! Usually i dread it arriving. WELL.. Today is the day!! I inserted my mooncup (size B) at 5am before leaving for work. It was really easy to insert. It is genuinely so comfortable that i forgot all about it! And the best part? I have had no leakage! Usually my reminder to change if i forgot would be wet underwear. I took my mooncup out to empty it at 11am! 6 hours after insertion, no leakage, nothing! I am so happy with this, i wish i had gotten one sooner 🙂 i feel really confident today! Usually i am paranoid about going places during my period. A little tip i would give when taking it out is not to panic if you struggle. If you find it a little hard to get hold of then just push it with your muscles (as if you are trying to poo) and it will come down a little lower and is easier to remove.

Thank you so much for this product 🙂 i am spreading the word to my friends!

Sarah – 17 February 2014

I’ve been using Mooncup for almost a year now and I think it’s amazing! I found that other sanitary products did not offer me enough protection and were very drying so I decided to search online to find out if there was an alternative. I was hesitant to buy Mooncup at first as I was worried that it would leak and feel uncomfortable but it is excellent, no leakage even if left in all day, easy to keep clean and it’s so comfortable that I forget it is there. Before using Mooncup I found horse riding when on my period very uncomfortable as sanitary towels and tampons would leak but now I can go out for a long wander on horseback and not worry about any mess. Mooncup is not very well advertised, even since I started using one I’ve never heard anyone else mention it, except online. It’s a great product and excellent value for money. All females should know about Mooncup!!!

Lynn – 12 February 2014

I’m 16, I’ve just got the mooncup 2 months ago and I am in LOVE. This is one of the best purchases of my life! I’ve already saved money on tampons, it’s comfort is far superior to a tampon and it holds so much more liquid. Honestly, I no longer feel chained down by my period and being scared that I’m going to ruin my pants every month. And we all know about that horrible when-you-first-wake-up waddle/run to the bathroom hoping your tampon isn’t going to leak, well that’s not an issue anymore either! Seriously 10/10 would buy again.

Esperanza – 12 February 2014

I am nearly 49 years old and have got to the point when I am afraid to go out of the front door during my period. After a really bad day and night last week where I suddenly started my period and was going through a tampon and pad every 45 minutes or so I was ready to cry. A colleague told me about the Moon Cup, with nothing to lose I went that day and bought one. What a magical device the first day was spent checking every 5 minutes that it was not leaking it was fine. That night was the first night in a long time that I had not woken up in a blood bath, I slept like a log and no leaks. I kept it in until there was no fresh loss and feel like a new women. Moon Cup is my new best friend!

Claire – 04 February 2014

I am really impressed with the Mooncup and I can’t recommend it highly enough! I purchased it out of curiosity but was quite skeptical about the practicalities of using it and whether this product would live up to all the positive testimonials I had read of it. Previously before I bought the mooncup, I had developed sensitivity to using tampons and sanitary pads, leading to discomfort, itching, pain and recurrent thrush. I hoped that the mooncup may eliminate these symptoms.Well, I can honestly say that the mooncup is a revelation to menstruating women! While I have experienced some soreness while getting used to inserting/removing it, I have been thrush free during my period for the first time in months. I find that the folding method 2 for insertion is far more preferable and comfortable. I don’t have to change the mooncup as often as conventional sanitary products and the mooncup is far less messy than I imagined. The menstrual blood does not leak around the sides of the cup, meaning that it is not messy when you remove it. A great product that I personally have benefited from!

Amanda – 01 February 2014

I’ve been using my mooncup for about 6 months now, and will never go back to tampons/pads! I know it will differ for everyone, but somehow my period is now shorter and cramps have almost completely disappeared. Like most first time users, I had problems with positioning and leaking. What I find best is folding the cup like usual, then inserting it by sliding my thumb up along side it. 10 million stars for the mooncup, doesn’t hurt that its environmentally friendly as well 🙂

Anna – 30 January 2014

I couldn’t believe it could really be as life changing as the testimonials I’d read/rave reviews from friends but IT IS THAT GOOD.
It took me one period to get used to it- I would really advise testing out inserting and removing it when you’re not on your period so you get used to it (if you rinse it with a bit of water its easier to insert). Tricky at first but definitely definitely worth persevering and so easy when you get used to it.

I suffer from really heavy periods and Mooncup is so much better than so called super extra absorbant tampons. I can actually rely on it and I don’t have to worry about changing it when I’m out either, so I can forget about my period and just get on with stuff!

It’s just so much cleaner. I don’t worry about staining my underwear any more and there’s something about not needing to break out the Bridget Jones pants that makes being on my period less of an ordeal!

Total Convert! – 29 January 2014

I won’t repeat all the many positives about the mooncup but, in three words – I love it and won’t go back to the nasty tampons (oops, that’s an added set of eight words). I simply wish I’d started sooner, but better late than never. A massive thank-you to my best friend who introduced me to the idea and encouraged me to try it and to persist when I was having “teething” problems during the first two periods. By month 3 I had cracked the no-leak code: my mooncup doesn’t pop open like a rose at dawn so I have to adjust it until it’s a perfect concave shape all around (my finger informs me of this). I was worried I’ll never be a true initiate but now I feel I could apply for a NASA job. My own uncharted territory… On the fourth period I was exploring the depths of the ocean, for the first time – nothing to stop me. I’m not the proselytising type but this is too good to keep to myself so I’ll talk to anyone who wants to hear!

I LOVE IT!! Along with my dishwasher I would say the best money I have EVER spent!!!!
I have never liked tampons always found them uncomfortable and was always very aware of the TSS risks associated with them. I was originally very unsure as to wether a moon cup would be for me, due to the fact that I never got on well with tampons. I read many reviews before purchasing the moon cup but finally decided I would give it a go. Honestly I can not tell you how pleased I am, I really would urge anybody thinking about it to give one a go. I swim in it, I sleep in it, I literally love it!!

I used to hate the week of my period as it either meant uncomfortable tampons or horrid, smelly, itchy, pads. But the moon cup has literally changed a week of the month for the rest of my life!! I can do what I would normally do with out any compromise. It took me only a couple of cycles to get the hang of using and now I can get it in and out with virtually no mess, its definitely no more messy than inserting a non applicator tampon, and the fact that you don’t get the horrid smell that you get from pads its just fantastic!
So in summary if your thinking about trying a moon cup, do its is simply BRILLIANT!!!

I accidentally left my mooncup at home on a recent trip to visit my parents and after going back to tampons for a few days I can honestly say I have NO IDEA how other people cope without this thing
As a woman with a very light flow, I always had difficulties with tampons drying me right out and becoming painful to insert and remove, but pads just left me feeling disgusting and like I was wearing a nappy. The mooncup did get some getting used to, but honestly it is so worth it because you can just forget about the fact you are even on your period for the whole day. I started using it when I was a virgin, and had no more trouble than the usual.

Would definitely recommend to anyone, trying to convert my friends.

Absolutely love my Mooncup. I am now on my second one (after stupidly damaging my previous one by leaving it soaking in Milton for FAR too long) and I am a happy cheerleader for the product.
It takes a bit of getting used to (for the first month I used it along with pads, by month two I started with a pad but it was so awful compared to the product I stopped using them completely), but once you do you will never look back. Beyond any green consideration the Mooncup is very comfortable and you forget you have it in. Very useful for exercise and when you go on holiday, due to how long you can keep it in (subject to how heavy your flow is) and how easy it is to empty it and pop it back in.

Mooncups should be included as part of girls education about periods and products – I will never go back to pads now but I do wish I have found the product before I did.

Finally I would like to praise this site for the quick processing and dispatch of my replacement Mooncup. After discovering I had damaged my old one only 5 days from my period I was horrified. I placed my order Monday morning and my new Mooncup arrived today.

Hi, I bought my Mooncup a few months back and I have used it every period since. It is such a great thing although I still need practice getting it right to stop leaking. I love the fact that it is environmentally friendly and that I don’t have to buy and dispose of pads or tampons. it is so comfy to where and makes it so much easier especially on heavier days. At first I thought it was a bit more hassle than using a pad but it is so much more comfy and less smelly and it means that I don’t have pads in my bag if my mates go through it at school. Thank you

Anna – 09 January 2014

So I have finally got a Mooncup and I am absolutely delighted. Why didn’t I do this sooner?
I suffer horrid, heavy periods that no tampon can match. Within an hour they are soaked through, flooding plagued me, changing knickers throughout the day, clothes constantly in the wash, LIFE ON HOLD. This is no way for any lady to live their life.

So the Mooncup, okay it took me a day to get to grips with it. In the first day I had slight leakage, though nowhere near like a dreaded tampon. By day two I had corrected this by perfecting the twist. Yippee!

The mooncup is comfortable and really works! It is amazing how clean this product makes you feel, you forgot that you’re even having your period. This is worlds away from tampons and pads that are uncomfortable, drying, itchy, smelly and irritable to your skin.

I highly recommend and hope one day that every lady owns one of these! Eco friendly and purse friendly, perfect.

I was encouraged to try mooncup by my step-sister although I had been aware of that type of product before then. I had been concerned about the waste with traditional pads for a while, although I use relatively few because my flow is light. The mooncup has been fabulous! I’ve used it for two months now. It does take practice and perseverance to insert and remove but it’s worth it. You have to give yourself time and try to relax and you’ll find the best way for you. I find the second fold easier, and have to fold a little on the way out too. I also cut the stem right down to within 5mm. The ick factor is still there, but it’s also accompanied by a certain fascination. I now also seem to bleed for a day or two less than before. I’m so pleased that I am no longer reliant on pads and will be saving money and producing less waste from now on. Everyone should try it!

After having a heavy period all my life, selecting the right tampon has always been tricky. Often I would get a dull ache from wearing them. So I searched online as for what to do and found reviews for the mooncup! It’s much shorter than the big super-flow tampons that I needed so it doesn’t hurt, I can’t even feel it! I bought it a few months ago and it’s definitely made up the money already. I’m at college with lessons all day, I used to have to time my toilet stops in my day in order to change pad + tampon because both would always be soaked through within an hour in days 2-4 and having to rush myself in the bathroom in order to not be late for my next lesson always made it worse! The mooncup doesn’t need removing as much as a tampon, it’s quicker, you don’t have to wear a squidgy uncomfortable nappy type pad. It’s fantastic. It causes no pain, and the stress of getting my period is much less because now I have an awesome way of controlling it. Would definitely recommend it to any lady. Especially those with a heavy flow, a busy schedule or those who are interested in helping save the planet.

I am not one to ever write reviews, for this product, it is necessary. I bought a moon cup before I would be traveling to India for 6 months. Clean is the word to describe how this product made me feel. It is a no hassle, accessible, and stress-free solution for your period.
I would recommend this to EVERY woman. I have saved over $500 in tampons/pads, have less clutter in my bathroom cabinets, and am able to enjoy my day without worry.

Samantha – 31 December 2013

A friend recommended me the mooncup a few months back and I’ve finally got round to buying one. I cannot stop telling everyone how wonderful it is! It feels so natural to be in tune with my body and I’ve already forgotten it’s there. It’s weirdly exciting to see how much has come out throughout the day (never though I’d say that!) and really nice not to have to be bothered changing something frequently as I would have done before with pads. Very liberating and not having that dreadful feeling at that time of the month. Thank you!

Emma – 29 December 2013

I wasn’t ready to try the Mooncup when I first heard about it years ago – I still thought tampons were simpler. A few months ago, I heard about it again when a coworker raved about it, personally telling me many of the benefits that are in these testimonials. I was openminded, but again, I wasn’t ready to try it: I still had a whole box of new tampons. Later that month, I nearly contracted toxic shock and sepsis and had to take 3 weeks of antibiotics because I absent-mindedly left a tampon in my body for far too long. It was a shocking and upsetting experience, but the best relief was knowing I never had to use a tampon ever again! I ordered my Mooncup immediately. Ive only just begun using it, but I thought it was important to share how safe this product is in comparison, on top of all the other benefits. I agree, once it’s inserted properly, it’s like it’s not even there, and best of all, there’s no smelly garbage piling up. Telling my close friends and family about my health scare has gone hand in hand with introducing them to Mooncup – I couldn’t endorse it more. When I researched what happened to me, I found that so many women have have had the same problem with tampons. Let it be said: Mooncup to the rescue!

Samantha – 26 December 2013

I have been using my Mooncup for almost about 6 months now (after 10 years of sanitary towels only). I always felt bad throwing my pads in the bin, but wasn’t sure tampons were for me – I have heard they can be quite dry and not so great overnight. One day, I heard about the Mooncup from an online forum and hunted one down. I knew I was leaving to travel through Canada for a year (am there now), and I also knew I didn’t want to be carrying around lots of pads and figuring out which new product to buy here. So I thought I would give the Mooncup a go. I am so glad I did! I absolutely love it. Ok, so it can be a little messy at times, but I am not easily grossed out! It is far outweighed by the fact is kinder to the environment and in the long run, and so much more economical. Of curse another plus point is it takes up virtually no space in my backpack! I wanted to write and than you for such a fab product!

Rebecca – 19 December 2013

I had never heard about mooncup until this summer. I thought the idea was very interesting and bought it. On the next period I tried to use it, but did not have too much success removing it, so I gave up. Last month I thought: this cannot be, I have to learn how to use it. So I gave it one more try, and reading very carefully all the advices Mooncup gives us, I eventually can apreciate the marvelous of this product.Further more, this company has the best and wonderful customer service I have ever seen. I lost my user guide and asked for another. In less than a week, I had it at home (and I live out of the UK).
Congratulations to Mooncup and I encourage every woman to use the mooncup.

Ana Paula – 19 December 2013

I don’t usually bother reviewing products but this is one thing I really can’t imagine living without now I’ve got it! I first bought it when I was 15 because I was going abroad with school and didn’t want to spend half my time worrying about my period being due. Nobody told me about mooncups but I was desperately searching for an alternative to pads and tampons and I found this site. When I first tried putting it in, I got SO frustrated (not to mention a bit sore) because I couldn’t do it right, but I left it for a day or two and got the hang of it instantly next time I tried. Persistence is the key! As for the school trip, it involved a 17 hour flight, a trek up a mountain, lots of very long drives with no toilets along the way, swimming, dodgy public bathrooms, etc, and the only thing I needed for my period was the mooncup. It does take a bit of practice to change because it’s kind of slippy. I once dropped it on the bathroom floor (I wasn’t even in my own house, THANK GOD the floor was tiled) but other than that there’s been no problems. Since then its been camping and on a ten day road trip too. I love not having to carry a supply of pads or tampons everywhere and worry about disposing of them! It’s so much more practical, especially if you’re an outdoors sort of person like I am. And it’s great if you have trouble predicting when your period will come because you can use a mooncup just in case if you really need to, which you can’t do with tampons and it would just be a waste to do that with pads. My mum is a bit baffled by mooncups and some of my girl friends say ‘ew!’ if I mention it but don’t knock it ’til you try it!

Hannah – 15 December 2013

I’ve just bought my daughter her first mooncup – she’s thirteen. She started her period a couple of years ago and has always used reusable sanitary products. However she does lots of swimming and uses a tampon for this. I’ve used a mooncup for many years and think its great., and can’t believe I didn’t think of getting her one sooner!

Bittybit – 08 December 2013

I had a Mirena coil inserted at the beginning of September this year- it was awful. The continuous trickle of bleeding meant I was having to either use pads which I loathe, or risk using tanpons which were incredibly painful to remove as they never absorbed much! I bought my mooncup just over a month ago and cannot believe the improvement in my quality of life. I’m so much more comfortable and happy- no more ruined underwear or waiting for the worst to happen. I only found out about them through research and I’m so glad I did. I think if you can- everyone should use them!

Effy – 07 December 2013

I’ve been using the mooncup for 18 months now & tell everyone about it. Since stopping using pads & tampons I haven’t had thrush! And I feel more confident that even though my flow is heavy the mooncup does it’s job so well. My periods are still heavy but for less days now, my age maybe/or the magic of the moon cup. I’ve tried to convert my 3 daughters, 26, 18 & 16, but they say it’s too yughy, it’s not, once you get into the swing of it, always take a bottle of water into a public convenience it’s great. Best for me is being able to stay overnight with confidence I wont leak!

Ruth, 45 – 01 December 2013

I’ve been thinking about buying a Mooncup for a while now, but hadn’t actually spoken to anyone who’d used one. I’m quite disorganised when it comes to changing (and even buying!!) tampons so figured it would be perfect for me. I was a bit worried about getting it in and out but managed it first time. So easy, quick, painless. After trimming the stem off it is super super comfy. After emptying it a few times it actually became easier to do than changing a tampon which is something i’ve had years of practice of!! Great product, really wish i’d bought one sooner (also, it’s kinda cool seeing home much blood comes out!)
