“I was not impressed by the Mooncup. I feel that there should be more than two sizes. I am am 45 with no children so I bought the larger of the two sizes based on the guidance on the Mooncup site. I was unable to fit the Mooncup inside despite folding the silicon cup to the smallest size possible. I am reluctant to buy the smaller size in case it does not fit and I waste another £20+.”

“3rd month if using this and it just isn’t working for me. It sits too low and the stick part chafes so much it’s so sore and uncomfortable in spite of me cutting it right down. It’s leaked so many time’s as well. I really wanted it to work but it’s just not for me.”

“Have used a Mooncup for many years with no problems. Definitely needed a new one and have changed from a size B as per advice on the website. Very comfortable and easy to use. Definitely much better than tampons.”

“I thought I'd finally give the mooncup a try, as I've been using tampons for a long time and I'd like to try and help the environment (and my bank account!) a bit. It took me about 3 periods to feel confident using it. You really do have to relax when you're taking it out, or there's no chance and you'll get more stressed, making it even more difficult. I've discovered the different folding techniques, and am working through them to find the ideal one for me. In general it is now easy to use and comfortable.”

“I really didn’t get on with the mooncup. I found it painful to insert and remove and the process was messy. The sides of the cup are far too stiff. I’ve decided that it’s not for me.”

“Considered changing to a mooncup for awhile but I was nervous to make the swap. My driver was wanting to reduce personal waste. I have been really impressed with the service mooncup provides. Lots of information available before purchase. Really reasonably priced and on receipt you get additional instructions. It took a little trial and error to figure out where it needs to sit but the application and use is as easy as disposable tampons, but no waste! I would definitely recommend you giving it a go - what have you got to lose.”

“I love it! Saves so much hassle! I combine mine with period pants as I have a heavy period. But it is so much better than any towels or tampons! And a great save for the environment!”
