Mooncup - A healthy alternative to tampons

The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid, instead of absorbing. Unlike tampons, the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy it once.

The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls – allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.

Why is mooncup better for you and the environment?

The Mooncup menstrual cup contains no bleaches, deodorisers or absorbency gels. It does not interfere with your healthy vaginal environment.

The smooth surface of the Mooncup allows the mucus membranes of your vaginal wall to continue their essential cleansing and protective functions. The Mooncup does not absorb your body`s natural defence mechanisms and will not deposit fibres in your vaginal wall.

For your safety, the Mooncup is made from a special medical grade non-allergic silicone. Silicone is derived from silica – which is one of the most abundant minerals on earth.

It will not cause irritation and is suitable for women with sensitive skin, thrush, eczema or an allergy.

The Mooncup can be cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising fluid, or by boiling for five minutes in an open pan of water.

Unlike pads and tampons, the Mooncup menstrual cup is reusable – eliminating the need to carry bulky spares. With proper care your Mooncup will last for several years.

Imagine the towels and tampons that you would otherwise be disposing of in landfill sites during those years!

How easy is it to use the Mooncup menstrual cup?

Correctly inserted, the Mooncup is so comfortable that you will forget it exists. It may take a little practice at first as you need to find the angle and position that is right for you.

Once you have perfected it, you will be amazed at how simple the Mooncup is to use. You will need to empty, rinse or wipe and reinsert your Mooncup every four to eight hours depending on your flow. The fluid remains inside the cup, and the process is not messy or uncomfortable.

The Mooncup can safely be used overnight and is great for all sports, swimming and travelling.

New & Improved Mooncup

Firstly, and most noticeably, the new Mooncup is whiter in colour. This is a result of the new production process – the Mooncup is still free from any dyes or bleaches, and is still made from the same high quality medical grade silicone.

  • The new Mooncup is produced to ISO 13485:2003 quality standards
  • All lettering and markings in the cup have been smoothed for easier cleaning
  • Extended coverage of the grips to the full length of the stem

Notes

How should I clean my Mooncup?

It is important to always wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling your Mooncup.

To clean your Mooncup during your period:

  • Wash with water, or mild, non-perfumed soap. Always rinse the Mooncup well with water after using soaps as any traces left on the Mooncup may cause irritation.

Can I change my Mooncup in public toilets?

  • You can use your Mooncup in public toilets! Wash your hands at the sink and take a small bottle of water into the toilet cubicle with you. Remove the Mooncup, tip the contents into the toilet bowl, rinse with a small amount of water and re-insert. If you have not got a bottle of water, then wipe the Mooncup with toilet paper and re-insert. Remember, because the Mooncup collects more menstrual blood than conventional sanitary protection, you will not have to refresh it as often as your would need to dispose of tampons or pads.

To clean your Mooncup before first use and when you wish to clean it more thoroughly you can:

  • Boil it immersed in water for 5-7 minutes (in a pan put aside for this purpose)
  • Use sterilising solution/tablets. These are commonly used to sterilise baby equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for dilution and soak for the minimum recommended time. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Cleaning your Mooncup when travelling:

  • When travelling ensure that you use drinking water to clean your Mooncup.

Storing your Mooncup between periods:

  • Dry your Mooncup thoroughly and store in the breathable cotton bag provided. Do not store in a plastic bag or sealed container.

Can I clean my Mooncup in the microwave?

  • No. We do not recommend that you clean your Mooncup in a microwave as doing this may damage the material.

Can I clean my Mooncup in the dishwasher?

  • No. We do not recommend cleaning your Mooncup in a dishwasher, because the detergent may adversely affect the material and/or your vaginal flora.

Can I clean the holes of my Mooncup with a pin?

  • No. We do not recommend that you clean the holes of your Mooncup with a pin. This is because the material can tear and become damaged.

How do I remove staining on my Mooncup?

  • You can soak your Mooncup in sterilising solution/tablets, following the manufacturer’s guidelines for dilution and soaking for the minimum time.
  • You can use sodium bicarbonate. Just use a clean damp cloth or a toothbrush with plenty of sodium bicarbonate and rub it on to the stained area.

Once you have cleaned your Mooncup rinse it thoroughly with clean water.

Using an IUD/IUS alongside the Mooncup

We know that there are Mooncup users who are happily using their Mooncup alongside an IUD/IUS. However, there have been some instances where an IUD/IUS has become dislodged when using the devices together, possibly due to anatomical factors (e.g. a low cervix), usage issues (e.g. wearing the Mooncup too high) or simply that the IUD/IUS has been naturally rejected by the body; one in twenty IUD/IUS will be expelled, most commonly, in the first 3 months after the IUD/IUS has been inserted. IUD/IUS expulsions happen most frequently during menstruation.

If you are considering using the Mooncup alongside an IUD/IUS you may wish to discuss this with your doctor/nurse/gynaecologist first. If you have decided to use both devices together then please consider the following information:

  • There should always be a space between the Mooncup and the cervix. If you have a low sitting cervix then there may not be enough room for your Mooncup to sit safely and work effectively alongside your IUD/IUS.
  • Remember to place the Mooncup low in the vagina and ensure you have an adequate seal (read more about Mooncup positioning.) It is important to always release the seal before removing a Mooncup.
  • It is important to always release the seal before removing a Mooncup.
  • After each period, check you can still feel the IUD/IUS strings. If you cannot feel them or think that your IUD/IUS has moved or is causing/has caused you pain, use another form of contraception such as a condom until you have had your IUD/IUS checked by a doctor/medical professional.

So when I first came across this cup I thought why and how on earth would anyone use this. A couple of months ago I started a new journey in my life of trying to be more eco friendly, sustainable, vegan, cruelty free and try to help the world and its condition. When I first brought it I was a bit scared as I never used a tampon and always a pad. I tried it a few times over a couple of weeks when I wasn’t on my period. It was very difficult at first and painful, it took time, I waddled around and felt frightened that it would be sunk in haha! Then a month ago when I started my period I tried it properly. I did it in the morning and took it out at night. I didn’t have to worry about it as I knew I wouldn’t be heavy because I have an implant in at the moment. I have pads that I’m not even using because I much prefer the cup. The cup is more eco friendly, sustainable, less maintenance, painful when inserting then after is a breeze and just brilliant!

I went for the smaller size even though I am over 30. I've never had a vaginal birth and have strong core muscles due to yoga and swimming. Takes a bit of getting used to, but I would not go back to disposable sanitary products. Mooncup feels much cleaner and more convenient, as well as being better for the environment. Highly recommend every woman try this!

I went straight for the smaller size even though I'm over 30 and have not had a vaginal birth, it fit easily, was comfortable to use all day at work, removing it takes a bit of practice as it wants to stay open so you have to try to go slow and keep it folded to make it easier, after 2 days I got a technique down and am very suprisingly happy with the product.

I was excited to try this after reading all the good reviews but what a disappointment!! I've used it for 2 days and it has leaked so badly I may as well have not been using it. I tried all the tips in the instructions to ensure it was in the right place and fully open but it has been useless at containing my period.
Only plus is that you can't feel it once it's in but if you have heavy periods then this is no use whatsoever.

Don’t know why I’ve bothered with tampons for so long! This is such a great product, no leaks! Takes a bit of getting right at first but you literally wouldn’t know you’re wearing it, it’s so comfortable. I go to the gym and swim wearing it and have had no problems at all. All girls should have one

One of the best products I've ever bought. It's so much easier to use and get used to than I thought. I no longer dread having my period because I don't even notice that its my time of the month when I'm using my Mooncup. I could never go back to using tampons or pads after using it. I couldn't recommend it enough!

I wanted to find something that I could use comfortably for sport and even though I felt very skeptical because I never used tampons I hated them. But I gave it a try and it made such a huge difference! I did yoga, pole dance, aerial hoop and running and it never leaked and felt super safe and comfortable, yay!

I was skeptical about this product but after using it i am 100% converted and have been recommending it to my friends. It was easy to insert and my period was shorter (perhaps due to the chemicals present in regular tampons which apparently lengthen the duration of your bleed??). For those thinking about converting I highly recommend it

Took no time at all to get used to this little thing, so so easy to use. Can easily leave it in all day meaning you barely even feel like you are on your period. Amazing. I would recommend to anyone, it isn't gross and its so easy, you don't notice that its in after a minute. So glad I decided to give it a go, I don't think I would ever use tampons or pads again. Oh that's the other bonus once you've got the positioning of this cup sorted you don't need to use pads either, I tested how secure it was by running, climbing and swimming with it... not a problem at all!

Everyone needs this cup. Granted, everyone's sizes will vary but the quality of this cup is the best I have ever seen. The silicone is top grade and the suction seal is perfect. Slightly harder to remove than my Me Luna due to the lack of a ring, but it does have some very good grips on. As stemmed cups go it's by far the best for grip on removal. However I would only recommend this for more experienced users as it is a powerful suction and can be tricky to remove.

Wow. I have never before felt so free from the burden of having a period. I can swim, run, climb, dance naked..., all without worry of bleeding or anything showing.

It took me four periods before I felt confident, but I am now so confident that I don't even bother carrying any other 'equipment'. Even if it takes some getting used to, do persevere, as once it clicks it will just be amazing. You'll never look back. I call mine Mrs Moony, and she and I have been on many adventures together. The most messy, clean-feeling product I have ever used. When away recently and my period came unexpectedly I was gutted to use tampons - even more gutted to realise how icky they make you feel. I feel so much cleaner wearing my mooncup than I ever have on a period before, and now I don't even mind being on one because it affects me now in no negative way!

Revolutionary, every girl should be taught about this in school.

I looked into getting the Mooncup for diving, whilst I'm yet to test it in this environment, so far very impressed! Plan to try the local swimming pool to see how it goes but I'm confident after just 24 hours wear that it will be fine.

Instructions were clear, didn't feel the need to look anywhere else online for tips. I can't believe how comfortable and easy it is to use. It looks so much bigger than a tampon but using the folding techniques described, I was fine. I have found the removal fairly easy.

I'm 28, wish I'd started using this years ago! I've not had children so using cup B size.

Really impressed!

Absolutely fantastic! I had been a bit sceptical because I know someone who tried them and didn't get on but I thought it was worth a try - boy was I right! Why wasn't I told about this option before? I personally found no negatives apart from the noise it makes being inserted and pulled out again, but even then after a couple of goes I managed to avoid this. Despite having to use your hands to insert it I found the whole thing a very clean process as the blood was well contained. I would suggest first time users read as many reviews as possible for tips though as I found that the guidance I found online was much better than that in the booklet provided. For example, the booklet said to tilt the cup to the sides to pull out, but gently wiggling and pulling I found to be a better method with less risk of spillage. The best thing about the Mooncup is its discreetness. I could carry it around in its little bag and no one was any the wiser. Also no need to take up precious handbag space with disposable protection! Overall I am delighted with my Mooncup and look forward to many happy periods together!
