“Wish I’d have got this years ago!”

Helpful Report

“It’s very good value and will pay for its self quickly. Trimming it to ‘fit’ takes a couple of attempts then wearing it is very comfortable n it never leaks. I would say removal is a little uncomfortable and if you work full time emptying and cleaning it in a shared toilet would be a massive hurdle”

“Excellent product, have been using mooncups for approx 16 years, don't understand why cups aren't more mainstream by now!”

“Good product design, fits well. Came packaged nicely with straight forward instructions. I switched to the moon up because of my consciousness of the environment. However, since a friend recommended this product to me, I've never looked back to tampons! I actually find it much simpler and less hassle using the moon cup.”

“Loved the idea of the mooncup and after talking to some friends who used similar cups I decided to give it a go. Went with the advised size for my age (36) and having had 2 kids (although both C sections). Struggled to get it in and REALLY struggled to get it out……oh my god, the pain was unreal. So much so that I was getting a bit panicked that I wouldn’t be able to remove it. Haven’t tried it again as it definitely wasn’t right for me or my poor bits!. Gutted as it was bl**dy expensive for one, very painful, try!! Back to tampons or period pants for me!”

“So, it took me around 2 cycles to get the hang of it, but I had rarely used tampons before. I'd imagine it'd be much easier for women who use tampons. Anyway, I'm not going back to pads now. The Mooncup is just so much more convenient and discreet, plus due to my limited flow I can wear one for 12 hours before I need to empty it, while I used to change pads much more frequently. I am much freer in the way I move and sit, which I love and I no longer worry about staining clothes. The only downside is that I still experience some leaks during the first 2 days of my period, but a panty liner is enough to handle those. Other than that, I'm super happy with my Mooncup and with the customer service. I'd definitely recommend this company!”

“Not sure if it is my fault but the mooncup doesn't seem to seal properly and I ended up with leaks most of the time I used it. Also, I tried it twice when I went swimming and it was really bad as it overflowed with water and started leaking. I don't have heavy periods or anything, so I don't really know what went wrong. It was disappointing though because I do know people who use it as their only option and are quite happy.”
