The Mooncup has been simple to adapt to and has proved very comfortable to wear! With a little time I learned to trust its reliability and I can now pretty much forget about it for a good five hours or so..something I can't do with tampons/towels. I have been singing it's praises to my friends so hope they will invest and it feels good to lessen my impact, even a tiny bit, on those landfill sites! |

This is a fantastic product!! It took me a couple of months to get used to inserting it correctly, but now I wouldn't be without it! I used to have to use tampons and sanitary towels and change both every two hours. Now I use my mooncup and only need empty it three times a day and I'm helping the environment. It's given me freedom and confidence to do as I please during my period. I just wish I'd discovered it years ago!! |

Brilliant product. I wish I'd had one always. Tampons gave me thrush, towels made be sore an were smelly. The mooncup is just wonderful. Once I removed the stem it was completely comfortable. Getting it in and out might not be easy for everyone. But that's my only reservation. I love not having to buy, remember to carry around, and dispose of tampons/towels. Once you have your mooncup when your period starts, you have what you need to see you through. |

My periods are extremely heavy and before I had a mooncup I had accidents every night and in the day, which is really embarrasing, whether I wore pads or tampax and sometimes both! My firend told me about the mooncup and at first I wasn't convinced but thought 'what the hell, i'll give it a go'. I've had nothing since using my mooncup. I'm very happy with it and its extremely easy to use. I guess some people might need to get use to it. Oh the money I'm saving is very nice too :) Only one problem I lost the cotten bag it comes with so keep yours safe! |

A brilliant product! Just wish I had found it earlier! I have very heavy periods and used to use tampons and towels, having to change very frequently throughout the day. But now after practising how to insert the mooncup properly, I only need to empty it every 5 - 6 hrs! There is no need for towels or unpleasant odours. Very hygenic and will save me money! Only wish I had found the Mooncup a long time ago! |

This product is fantastic! I can't believe more people don't know about it and use it! I would say you need to be quite comfortable with your body to be able to use it and it does take a bit of getting used to. I have never felt so secure and confident around the time of my period! No more pads or tampons - A Godsend! Highly recommended! |

Wish I'd known about the moon cup years ago! I've binned my big pants, no long wear my jeans for the whole of my period, even sleep in the nude (which confuses my husband), I can get changed in the communal area at the gym and still use the sauna and hot-tub without feeling self-conscious. As my periods are frequent (every three weeks) I no long feel that I'm out of action during them and have reclaimed a third of my life. I recently went abroad on holiday and just took my mooncup instead of a bagful of towels and tampax. I played tennis and squash, swam in the sea and even went for a full turkish massage. I love the freedom that the mooncup has given me and am even telling total strangers about it aswell as all my friends and family. |

I love this product and wish I had known about it years ago. It took me a day or two to get it exactly right but then it was a doddle. I hate towels and never seem to have tampons in the right bag at the right time. This was great as soon as your period starts you can forget about worrying what bag you take out with you. Very comfortable and you know immediatley it needs emptying. I have recommended it to lots of people. |

hello to all mooncup users. aren't they great!? i couldn't believe how quickly mine came through the post and it was so nicely packaged. it seems silly but i was excited to try it out for the first time. it was very simple although a tip is to use lubrication on yourself and not on the cup otherwise the situation can get a bit slippery. hehe. so all in all i am very impressed. i only wish i had found this when i started all those years ago (ok only 6or7). but it would have saved the embarassment of going round the supermarket with my mother and getting her to put sanitry items in the trolley for me. it has only been in the past year or so that i have gained the confidence to go and buy tampons etc myself! even now i have never been entirely happy with tampons/ they can make you so dry and they seem to work and then they will let you down so you have a worrying moment whilst out shoppinng when you wonder if people can see a big red patch on the bum of your apparel. all i can say is thankyou, it is one less thing i have to worry about!

This is fab, environmentally friendly, and a bargain!! I found it difficult to use at first, but soon adapted, and as a scuba diver, cyclist, and other sports participant, have found it very convenient and much more comfortable to use than constantly changing heavy flow tampons and towels. |

I have been using my Mooncups for over 2 years now. They are a fabulous item & not only have they made it easier to cope with periods for me, they also seem to have had the wonderful effect that (since stopping using tampons & towels) my period pains are less, my mood swings don't seem to be as bad & I don't get thrush anymore!! Yes, I did say Mooncups because after having just the 1 for a year I found it easier to have a second so I could easily remove & replace in those situations where I couldn't get to a tap easily to wash them out (yes, you can just wipe with a tissue but I prefer to wash each time). Since they 'paid for themselves' within the first 6 months I didn't feel like I was wasting money either. |

I admit it, I was VERY unsure when my best friend told me about Mooncups! Sounded rather yuck! And it can be lol. I'm one of these women who cant get on with tampax, HATE THEM!! So to say I ordered one with trepidation was an understatement. It arrived post haste (thank you) and in time for me to have a play!!! And you DO need time to try it. Talk about weird and wonderful positions trying to find the right one, to get it in comfortably lol. I found sitting on the loo the most comfortable. When it went in correctly, sheer bliss, didn't know it was there!!!!! HEAVEN! Yes they do, occasionally, make some noise when being put in and taken out, and if you've not twisted it, you can suddenly feel a pop inside as it works its way undone. Weird, but ok. I've told/emailed all my friends about it, and have to give them a review now I've used it. It will be glowing! No one has heard of Mooncups, including me, but thats going to change in my circle of girl friends. Cant wait for my next period now!!! And thats saying something! |

What a brilliant invention. I have just discovered the Mooncup. I did a lot of research first before buying the product as I was nervous regarding the insertion and removal! I have had no difficulties at all, but you do need to be relaxed and comfortable with your body. No more smell and carrying half of the bathroom cabinet around with you always, no getting caught short while out and about. Good for your body, the environment and your purse. Will be recommending to all and sundry regarding this liberating device. |

I bought a mooncup to be 'greener' but was concerned about how I'd take to it - I didn't get on with a cap and have had urinary infections. However, being determined, I gave it a try and couldn't believe how fantastic it is. I agree with all the positive reviews, so go on, give it a try and it could liberate you as it has done me and so many others! |

I was convinced to give mooncup a try due to the great reviews it received, however it didn't work for me. I suffer from a hypersensitivity disorder and had really hoped that mooncup was going to be the answer, however I reacted very badly and swelled up so much that taking the mooncup out was very difficult and extremely painful. |

This is brilliant. Works exactly how it says it should; was easy to insert (bar one hairy moment due to overconfidence), efficient and comfortable. Slightly more high maintenance than a tampon in that you can't just flush it away but this is a tiny price to pay to gain a saintly glow for doing my bit for the environment… |

I've been using my Mooncup for 4 days and I'm a total convert! I've cut off the stem for comfort, and following a day or so of practice, now find it really easy to insert and remove. It's totally secure, no leaks whatsoever, and amazingly comfortable. No fuss (I can happily leave mine for 8 hours at a time), and no way I'd go back to any other protection. Would recommend to anyone! |

How I wish I'd found about this amazing little invention sooner! Will be recommending it to all my friends. |

Moon Cups are great! You can't feel it. There's nothing dangling down. It doesn't budge when you cough. You're not sitting in gunge all day. You're not risking your health with a bleached product soaking away fluid and leaving tissue inside you. It is messy but you get the hang of it. They could make a wider one. They can leak during exercise. |

Wow! Totally fab product. It's surprisingly easy to use, is better for the environment, is cheaper than using towels or tampons, it doesn't leak or smell and you really can't feel you're wearing it at all. I feel so much more comfortable "down there" during my period than I ever did with tampons or towels and my periods are so much less painful. I always had to take painkillers at that time of the month before but since using the Mooncup I have had totally painfree periods. Amazing! |

Brilliant!!! Cut off the stem, practice a few times, before your period, with the inserting and removing, and you won't look back. Is it messy? A little bit, but your menstrual fluid is not 'dirty', so it's not a problem. I haven't had any leakage problems at all, as I make sure it's fitted properly. |

Anyone who doesn't have it yet - get it!! Yes, it takes a bit of practice and yes, when you think about it too much it might be a bit gross for some, and it might be a bit of a hassle and take a bit longer than just change pads or tampons. But all the good that comes with it really makes it worth it all! I've only used it during one period so far, but I'm in love with it already. I decided to try it as I bleed quite a lot during the first few days which makes me feel uncomfortable - I always get the feeling it's leaking, and sometimes it does - and I sleep quite bad as well. I also swim a lot, but as I don't find it very hygenic while I have my period, I've always stopped going for nearly a week every month. That's all changed! I slept so much better using the moon cup and no worries whatsoever to go swimming! No leaks, less blotyness and - actually - less pain. I did still have some cramps but they were definitely less frequent and didn't last very long at all. I cut the stem of comletely after just one day which made it fit perfectly but still very easy to remove. It might not suit everyone, but it's definitely worth a try! No more worries about sunshine holidays, flights or long journeys!! |

I'm actually buying another one because I lost the first (do not ask me how that happened!?). It was great! Comfortable and good for the enviroment, and I really hated the thought of all the chemicals they put into tampons. The only difficulty I found was in public toilets where the sink is outside the cubicle, as I kinda wanted to wash it out each time. Disabled toilets helped a lot! |

I have only recently found out about Mooncup and can't believe I haven't been using it all my life. It is so wonderful to find an environmentally friendly solution that works with your body. I am so shocked that it is not more widely known about. I think all schools/parents should encourage our younger generation to use it. I presume it is the case of large corporations with huge marketing budgets are able to shout louder. These days we need more amazing products like this. Spread the word. |

I have used a Mooncup for around 5 years now, I suffer from hypermenorrhagia meaning I have super-heavy and long periods. Using the most absorbant tampons and pads I would constantly leak even when changing every 30 minutes and they would give me constant vaginal infections because of their affect on vaginal health. Using a menstrual cup I never leak and haven't had an infection in all the time using my Mooncup, it's fantastic!
They can be left in for up to 12 hours without leaking or risk, this includes before your period, light and heavy flows, at night and for sports like swimming they are perfect. They last for up to 10 years so they are a huge saving on your purse and on the environment.
They are totally comfortable and convenient, you can try them yourself as they have money back guarantee so you don't risk loosing money if you give them a try.
I recomend these to everyone! They aren't messy, they don't cause bladder infections, they aren't linked to TSS or anyother tampon-related health problem (endomentriosis, cancer, infertility, vaginal infections - see dioxin/bleaching of tampons). |

No more pain! I suffer from endometriosis and was using SUPERPLUS EXTRA tampons WITH nigh time towels, and still changing every 1/2 hour, so still have to empty the Mooncup more than most. Imagine the space in my handbag now, and the money I save each month! The strange thing is though, that even towards the end of my 10 day period and I only needed the tampons, when replaced with the Mooncup, I somehow felt less congested. BUT, the most wonderful and totally unexpected bonus was the fact that I no longer needed to take copious quantities of painkillers... my life was suddenly virtually pain free, no longer did friends think I was a junkie! Childbirth was easier than my previous periods, and that was a posterior presentation!
Another bonus they never tell you about... are you about to go on holidays and are worried you will have to open your suitcase in front of friends for customs? Wear the cup for the journey, even if you haven't started, and avoid the problem; also, you no longer have to advertise your period by having to take your bag to the poolside loo.
I only wish I'd known about it sooner, why don't the water boards and councils sell them cheap, or at least advertise them? |

I used my Mooncup for the first time today and I cannot believe how comfortable it is & how easy it was to use. I did call the helpline, as the initial try was not quite right and after being advised to cut off the stem I have walked and cycled today with complete confidence. I will suggest Mooncups now to all of my female friends. It took me too long to make the switch but I will never go back to using tampons after today. Yippee! |
