The Mooncup is brilliant. I've had it for 7 years and it's still going strong. When I'm wearing it I don't notice it at all. I can do all the things that I would be able to do using other methods and more. I don't end up feeling dry and uncomfortable. It also means I can save the blood for my plants and my paintings. A few of my friends have got one too and they get on with it brilliantly. It took about 3 bleeds to get used to it but since then I've never looked back.

I've had my Mooncup for over 2 years now and haven't used a single tampon or towel since. It took a few tries to to get the hang of removing it but I feel confident swimming or doing sports and it's great for work as I can go all day without worrying about leakage. It's also great for holidays as you don't have to stuff your suitcase with sanitary protection and then worry about disposing of it. And of course, it's so much better for the environment. Every woman should try this!

I have been using my Mooncup for about 18 months now. In fairness it probably took me at about three months to really feel at home with it, but I really think changing to using a Mooncup is one of the best things that I've ever done. I'm peri menopausal with periods that vary between virtual nothingness and wild floods! The Mooncup copes brilliant with all variations, and yes, no leaks, no smell (amazing!) and vaginal dryness has gone totally. I only wish I'd had this for all the years that I've been sending tampons to landfill. Go on Girls - spread the word, this really is great and worth persevering with for the first month or so xx"

Thanks very much for the advice! It was really helpful and it's got a lot better with practice. I didn't want to go back to the old ways so I was really relieved!!! Thanks for being so helpful, I 'll keep trying to win people round to the mooncup! Cheers

I am the kind of person that forget their own birthday. This is how organised I am. I use to hate periods just because I never had any tampons or hygienic towels in my bag (they break and become quite unusable). So that first day of the month, which I always forget to write down somewhere, I run around asking for anything that would help. I heard about the mooncup from an eco-friendly friend. I thought this is never going to work because I am not that eco-conscious. The thing with the mooncup is that, you save money, you do a bit for the environment, but also you can keep it with you and it's there when you need it. Also, it does keep longer that a towel or tampon, so you don't have to change so many times a day (and do the old get-up-and-take-your-bag-with-you or worst, get-up-and-slip-a-tampon-in-your-pocket). To be honest, the mooncup is not a life changer or anything, it's just that simple idea that makes life and periods a bit easier!

I've been using my Mooncup for about a year now, and it has made such a difference to my life. Now I feel confident about running, swimming, skiing, going out and travelling the world for the whole month, not just three weeks. I even used it on a long diving holiday and you'll be glad to hear it performs just as well at 30m. Spread the word about this fantastic, comfortable, liberating and environmentally-friendly product!

It took me a little while to get used to the 'mooncup' and I have to say that the advice that I received from a mooncup representative was fantastic. I have now successfully, comfortably and confidently been using my cup for over a year. It has proved to be indispensable especially when I have been attending music festivals (I always seem to be on my period at these times!). I am sooo glad that my friend told me about the 'Mooncup' and I now make sure that I tell all my friends about it. It truly is amazing.

I have been using my mooncup for about 6 months now and cannot express enough just how much I love it! I have told many friends about it and I really hope they take the plunge and give it a go. I love the fact that I am no longer contributing to horrible sanitary products in landfill sites and the sea and that I don't have to pay exorbitant prices every month for disposable products. I also feel cleaner and that my periods aren't an issue anymore. I have milder PMT than I've had for years, less cramps, shorter periods and generally feel better than I ever used to during a period. I trimmed the stem down to almost nothing and have no problems removing the cup - I just make sure I remove it over the toilet bowl so that nothing spills on the floor. I also carry wipes around with me to wipe my hands if out in public. I just wish I had known about the Mooncup years ago instead of reading about it on a tube ad months ago. I urge anyone who is having doubts to give it a go, you won't regret it!!
Simone - 27th October 2009

I'd heard of the Mooncup over a year ago but it seemed expensive so had put off buying it until I saw it in Boots a couple of months ago. The Mooncup is amazing! You cannot feel it and the only bad experience I've had was when I accidentally put it in sideways. It got lodged and I started to panic. I thought I'd have to tear myself apart! Once I calmed down and teased it around, everything was fine. I think the trick is to not put it in so quick.
BanChan - 3rd November 2009

Hello, I've had a mooncup for almost a year now and think that it is fantastic. My bouts of cystitis are now much less frequent and monthly irritaion has dissapeared. I have told many of my friends already and I am hoping that you can send me some stickers and leaflets so I can spread the word more widely!
Ellie -

THIS IS TO MORGAN!!! I purchased one of these and it is actually amazing the only problem I have is that I think the B size is still a little too big for me cos when i take it out it hurts the lower area of my vagina because mine has quite a small entrance. Hope thats proof that these aren't fake.
Rosie - 27th October 2009

I just bought one this afternoon, because I'm sick of tampons drying me out and giving me thrush. Inserted it with no problems at all AND can get it back out - insant and complete WIN. I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with Mooncup!
Clare - 28th January 2010

I am so happy to have discovered the mooncup. Ive been using it since January (bought it as a chrstmas present to myself!)and I love it. I enjoy my periods more now. I just wish that other women, particularly young girls like me (im 17), would be more open to the idea of alternatives to tampons and pads.
Rhiannon -

susan - 14th March 2010

I have been using the mooncup for about 6 months and it is fantastic. Trying to tell friends about it is the most difficult bit - they all react in the same way - yuck! So I love the new campaign loveyourvagina.com... will be passing that on!
Rachel - 24th March 2010

I bought mine about 6 months ago and after trying inserting & removing once, I consigned it to my bathroom cabinet as I found it to be very uncomfortable to do. This month I was 'caught short' without any tampons when my period started so decided to give it another go - lubricating with water as per the instruction booklet makes a huge difference as does relaxing & taking your time. When I removed it this time I had no problems (not even spillage, although I did do it over the toilet just in case) as reading some of the tips & testimonials on this site made me feel more confident about the whole thing. I'm so glad I've given it a second chance as we go camping a lot in the summer months but always put it off if it's that 'time of the month', whereas this year armed with my Mooncup & a bottle of water for rinsing I'll be happy to go at any time. Unlike some of the ladies who've written testimonials I haven't been lucky enough to notice a reduction in my period pain (really bad for the 1st 2 days) but there are so many good reasons to use a Mooncup - I'm now converted!
Tracey - 26th March 2010

I bought a mooncup a few months ago and it has revolutionised my life. I know that sounds extreme, but it really has. I travel a lot and had very irregular periods. Now, I just pack the mooncup and, if I think my period might be coming, I can insert it and relax. It's worth it for that alone, but if you want the icing on the cake... I haven't had a single 'leakage' problem since using it and in addition, my periods have for the first time in twenty years, regulated themselves. To know that I will now have no worries when I have my period is simply fantastic. On a practical note for those who might be unsure as to whether to get one: The first few times I used it I did find it awkward but the telephone line was a lifesaver. Really friendly woman who was practical and helfpul. I persevered. You do need to get a bit more 'hands on' than with a tampon but you get used to it really quickly and it is worth being more hands on to have no worries about knickers, sheets, or running out of tampax / not being near a loo. Please, please try one. You will never go back to tampons again.
Lucinda - 8th March 2010

Today is my first day with the Mooncup! I'm 19 and just figured I'd give it a go. I was pretty taken with its economical and ecological benefits. I'm really liking it so far. Took me a while to get it in properly (about half an hour) but once in it was fine. I was worried about it somehow getting back out, so I danced and cartwheeled around my room and it's stayed in, so I'm confident about it now. :) It's really comfortable, which is always a plus, so I'm happy with it. Definitely worth the money, especially when I think of the money I'll save in the long run. Ahh. Now all I have to do is recommend it to as many people as possible! Thank you, Mooncup! :D
Jazzmynne - 5th December 2009

A friend I lived with in Wales suggested the mooncup to me (and anyone else who would listen!) a couple of years ago. I have to admit I was not convinced at first and not sure about her boiling it in our communal kitchen, but I was intrigued by the healthy relationship she seemed to have with her period and I was interested in seeking more environmentally friendly sanitary products. So after a few months of thinking about it I bought one. It took me a little while to get used to taking it out but by the end of my second period I was converted! I LOVE MY MOONCUP!! I like to travel and last summer I went to Malaysia to help with a conservation project in the jungle. I took my mooncup with me and had three menstrual cycles while I was there. My mooncup took up no room at all in my rucksack and I didn’t have to worry about disposing of soiled products. I felt so unburdened compared to the other women I was away with and compared to my previous travels! I would recommend it to everywoman, everywhere! I realise mow that I have become like my friend in Wales… telling anyone who will listen about how great it is to use a mooncup! Spread the word…. everywoman should have one!
Su -

I have been using the mooncup for over 4 years now and absolutely love it, despite generally being anti mod-cons. Although I've recommended it to most of my female friends only 1 has been converted as the others are either too squeamish to try it or can't afford the larger up front cost. I have been travelling in several places with it and it's so much easier than tampons/towels - only one tiny bag to take, no solid waste to block simple toilets/fill holes in the ground and no need to try and purchase sanitary protection in another language! If anyone has experience of using it right from when they started their periods I would be interested to hear how they got on.
Louise - 26th January 2010

to the poster below- morgan- what is your problem? Do you have a mooncup? Well I have and its fantastic! I am certainly not fake- I'm, a 32 yr old nurse from chester with a mooncup. Ignore that silly woman- mooncups are great- economic, eco friendly and better for your sensitive bits! great work mooncup.
lizzie - 30th January 2010

Have been using a Mooncup for about 2 years now and since day one I've never looked back. In my opinion it's the best thing since sliced bread! It's environmentally friendly and saves me a lot of money too.
Jane G - 23rd March 2010

I bought one of these on Thursday after reading the reviews and, admittedly, with reservations. Tampons give me thrush every period and this brings on cystitis... A lovely combination! My period started on Saturday and so far, I love this product. I haven't felt any thrush-like symptoms, it's very easy to fit and remove and unlike a tampon, I really can't feel it at all. I it's slightly messy, I won't lie, but well worth it and the comfort and reliability well outweighs the negatives. Get one today!
Becki - 15th February 2010

Hello! I have used a mooncup for three and a bit years now and am a massive fan! I recently bought a new one as I was caught short away from home and noticed in the booklet that you have leaflets and stickers available if people want to "spread the word" as it were. I figured that as I tell everyone I know about them, as they are far and away the best menstrual product I have ever used (and being someone with PCOS and thus irregular, terrible periods) I would be more than happy to tell strangers too!
Kiri - 26 July, 2009

Used mooncup for the first time, FANTASTIC !!. No leaks even at night. I did take the time toread lots of reviews an followed the tips as I thought it would be tricky to insert/remove, im happy to say that I did not have any problems.I did have to trim the tail but I am extremely happy that I tried it an will be recommending it to my family and friends.
Sheena - 23rd November 2009

I was slightly nervous when I first opened my mooncup, it looked so big! I got size B because I'm 18, however I had fears it would be too wide, because I think I'm rather 'narrow', but I was so excited when I opened it I tried it straight away, and... it was perfect!! I got it in in a second and it formed a suction without me even noticing! I walked around in it a bit and I couldn't even feel it, it was so comfortable!! I didn't feel 'stretched' as I was scared I would, although I think I need to trim the stem a little. Anyway, breaking the suction was so easy; i just squeezed the base a little and got it out without any hassle and I don't think anything would even have spilled! My sister laughed when she saw it because they're a bit of a joke to immature people I guess, I think because they think they're 'gross' but I do a lot of hiking and camping and honestly, it's a lot less gross than having to pack out used tampons! The mooncup is amazing, and I could not be more happy or satisfied so thank you very, very much!!
Laura - 25th December 2009

ohhh. i ve been using the mooncup for the last 4 years and i am extremly happy about that.so happy that i just "convinced" 25 other women to get one...i got mine in new zealand where it is normal to get one in organic shops.i noticed that its not like that here in germany. i live in hamburg with lots of organic and alternative shops, but no mooncup.i want to spread the word about mooncups more official...because i think,us women have -at least- the right to hear about it.its gonna be new for lots of women,as for the women i just told lately about...i really believe it has to spread.its just wonderful in every dimension.thanks for this wonderful friend:)
Kathy - 28th October 2009

I came onto this site after seeing the cryptic poster advert for 'loveyourvagina.com' at my tram stop. I was suspicious it might be a ploy of a horrid feminine hygiene company to sell weird scented products, but I was absolutely delighted to see that mooncup had gone in for some big advertising! At last! I've used a mooncup for about 3 years now and would never ever go back to tampons. Admittedly I'll never feel joy at having to empty / change it, but I only need to do it in the morning and at night - not like having to change tampons all the time. My main reason for buying one was environmental but I keep using it because I feel so much healthier using it. I haven't had thrush in years which is incredible as I used to suffer with it every month. Honestly please do believe all the great things women are saying about mooncup and buy one if you haven't yet!!
Helen - 22nd March 2010

I just wanted to add woopiedoop feelings about your wonderful mooncup to your long list of satisfied customers. I so wish I hadn't put off for so long giving it a go. The wonderful free feeling of not being plugged up, and saying goodbye to all that furtive fumbling with paper packets, and best of all sharing the bath with my kids and not having to worry about "whats that piece of string caught on your bum mummy?" I no longer feel under siege during my period. I feel myself and I'm so grateful to you. Many many thanks
Lucy -

I love my Mooncup! I've been using it for over a year now and still going strong. Learning to use it was a little difficult at first but I kept trying and now that I'm used to it I couldn't be happier. My cramps are greatly reduced and sometimes it’s almost like I don't have a period at all! I'll never go back to the old way - now I cruise past the feminine hygiene aisle at the supermarket and chuckle to myself hehe...
Canuck loves cup - 20th February 2010

I have been using a mooncup for a few years now and have had to change size now I have welcomed my first baby into the world. Again, no problems with the new size, I just can't imagine life without my mooncup and am currently spreading the word in my mothers group! We have many mums who are very environmentally conscious and use cloth nappies (as I do) and they are really fascinated with the idea of the mooncup. I never regret my purchase of a mooncup and couldn't reccomend them more.
