Excellent - for a pain free (less painful stomach cramps!), smell free! (the bit I hated each month!) monthly period choose Mooncup! Once I got the right size (Size A really is needed if you're over 30) I was away! Very happy customer! xx

Fantastic! I have very heavy periods and extreme period pain, since using the mooncup the pain has more than halved, I don't know how but I'm very happy. I no longer have to take time off work every month. I've been using the mooncup for over a year and can't believe they are still so unknown. I have told all my female friends about it. Thank you Mooncup, you really have improved my life.

A brilliant solution. Goodbye to stressful periods. It is comfortable to wear and make me far less self-conscious than sanitary towels and there is none of the dryness caused by tampons nor the associate risk of TSS. Nor is there that horrible moment when you realize your period is due any moment and you have forgotten to buy supplies. It needs emptying far less often and although it is a little messy I actually find it far less repulsive than dealing with the disposable alternatives- perhaps because it feels much more natural. Other bonuses include less menstrual cramps (amen to that!)and far less leaks (only one in six months) not to mention the environmental benefits. Removing it takes a little practice but by the end of my first period it was easy. My only regret is that I did not start using one years ago!

I've been using the Mooncup for almost a year now and honestly, it's the best thing about my period! While I still have painful cramps and PMS, I don't compound this annoyance by having to carry about a stash of tampons, knowing that they'll end up in landfills and on beaches...I took to using it at once, and I can honestly say I've never had a leak! (I did drop it on the bathroom floor, early on - good god, it made a mess! But it's only blood!) I have a small but growing group of friends who use the cup, and we compare tips and experiences: the mooncup 'community' is a great thing! Thanks so much for enabling me to be more in control and in touch with my body - a truly life-changing product!

Hurrah for mooncups! I love it. Fewer cramps, shorter periods (why is this?!) and no more carrying around a bag of every size tampon and towel 'just in case'. Public toilets aren't an issue I've discovered that carrying a bottle of water really isn't a chore and if you're concerned about bacteria, get anti microbial 'buzz fresh' wipes from Ann Summers (sorry to advertise another store - maybe you could branch into them too?!)and carry them round in your mooncup bag! They're amazing and once you're used to how often you need to change them, it's far less regularly than vile tampons. However there should be a warning with them that as soon as you have one you will lecture all your friends about them, buy them as gifts for random deserving people and accost strangers in the tampon aisle in supermarkets and enlighten them on mooncups. Be warned! Thank you for creating such a fab period happy-maker! Kindest wishes

A previous bathroom visit during my period: After enduring horrific cramps and the feeling of the tampon falling out of me, plus the sweaty feeling of the pad or liner. Rushing into the bathroom to find I have usually leaked, or having to somehow pull out a still dry tampon, then comes the RIPPPP of the new pad and/or tampon, the crinkle crinkle of trying to get it out on the wrapper and then the glue of the pad sticking to my fingers as I am trying to get that tightly rolled, smelly little bundle into the bin. Plus having to empty the rubbish before anyone visits my house cause if they look into the bin, there goes my privacy. Or the guilt of knowing it would end up in a landfill or if no bin is present and I have to flush it (tampons only) knowing it would soon be polluting the sea. How the bin smells so quickly and I would waste so much toilet paper wrapping up the pad or tampon into an unidentifiable package. How long each bathroom trip would take. How much I hated public toilet visits. Ok you get the picture. The point is. Somehow women are fooled into thinking that using disposable products are a more tidy, sanitary and dignified process. Haha. It must be advertising. Once I tried the Mooncup my life changed. (Plus I now use reusable pads and love them, but thats a whole different story) It is easy, I don't leak, I don't have to change it every two hours and I don't have as bad of cramps. It's also quiet and small and doesn't crinkle. Contrary to what I had been told, it is not even as messy. AND...I only need one. I feel much more dignified now. So, it may take a little practice to get it perfect, but didn't tampons the first time you used them? Give it a chance!

I finally got off my backside & bought one & it arrived a day after my period started last month. I had read reviews on here & had fully read the booklet that came with it within an hour of receiving it. I opted to use it pretty much straight away & I am NEVER going back to towels or tampax! Ok, it's a trial & error thing for inserting & removing, but that's nothing new as I always struggled to use tampax anyway! I had to remove the whole stem pretty much straightaway as it was irritating me, but I've got the knack of removing it sorted with no problem whatsoever. I can honestly say I've never had such a good period on my first go. It actually finished 2 days early & I had hardly any pain at all, which is unusual for me! I've also since found out a friend of mine has used it for 5 years & I had a go at her for not telling me about it sooner! If you are reading this... Get a Mooncup, you will seriously regret not doing so sooner!

When I first heard about the Mooncup, I had the reaction most women do: "eurgh, what a weird idea .. I will never try that" ... but then I looked at the website, read the history and the facts, and I was desperate to try it!! I have never looked back, I believe that there is not a single woman who would regret trying the Mooncup. It has made my periods simple, and not the torturous time they used to be. My cramps are a lot less (I've heard many women say this about the Mooncup), and the stress of having to pack my bad full of tampons, remember to change them every 2 hours, etc has now gone - d'you know, I usually totally forget I'm even on my period!!! Thank you Mooncup, I'm in love!

About three months ago a family friend sent my husband an email about the mooncup.The next day he took me shopping for one and even paid for it too. The look on the checkout girl's face was a picture.I am so glad that email was sent as the mooncup has been a godsend.I no longer get cramps and general discomfort that have plagued me for years and it is so simple to use.Every month is so much easier to get through now that I have the mooncup and I recommend it to everyone who wants an easier life.

Just finished my first period using the mooncup and I am delighted to say it was a great success! My period is heavy on the first two days, with bad cramping, so I was hesitant to try it because I thought I would be emptying it all the time to prevent leaks. I had no leaks at all, the cup easily caught everything with room to spare. I also found it really interesting to see exactly what was going on - it's really surprising how great it feels to know what your body is producing. It takes a little while to get used to inserting and removing it but you soon get the hang. The best news of all is my 7 day period was cut down to a 5 day period! Thank you mooncup for making a grim part of my month a good deal less grim :)

Heather - 3rd March 2010

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...

I was extremely skeptical about the mooncup and it's usage, but after 4 days it's made a massive difference to my life. I've had no cramp at all and thoroughly recommend it.

Julie - 18th February 2010

My friend gave me a mooncup for my birthday. I can honestly say that its changed my life. I no longer dread periods; the pain is far less (not sure why), no smell, no carrying around sanitary towels. I can hardly feel its there. Wish it came out years ago when I first started periods!

Allison - 17th June 2010

Once I used the Mooncup I found my menstrual cramps stopped. I no longer leaked and had to make midnight changes to bedding. The bins were no longer overflowing with smelly, tell tale signs of a period. I nolonger dread my period - I wont lie and say I love it - but it is just another monthly event rather than a challenge. It has the added benefit of being eccologically friendly - as opposed to the smelly packages destined for landfill!

Helen - 24th July 2010

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 have been using the mooncup now for 2 years and have to be honest I was sceptical at first but now think its the best invention for women yet. It have saved me money, time and even eased my cramps. I only wished I would have used it earlier in my life. I am a very active person and find that I do not have to worry about anything when I am using my mooncup. Its easy and envronmentally friendly which is a big must nowadays.

6 months after purchasing my my mooncup- I'm astounded- its easy to use, not as messy as i anticipated, and i forget i'm even having my period! Two years after a horrendous birth of my beautiful baby (3rd degree tears - took 11 months to heal properly), ive suffered from constant rash, irritation, thrush, heavy periods using extra strength tampons and towels etc every single month, 3 months of using the mooncup- and absoloutely nothing !! i dont know why i didnt buy it sooner, top tip for use - RELAX and breathe deeply - I have practically no period pain and feel so much happier and relaxed within myself- no more looking for a public toilet every hour when i'm having my period, i cannot reccommend this product enough

Marie - 2nd July 2010

I wasn't sure about the mooncup at all before I tried it. I have very bad period pains and have never been able to use tampons. I decided to try it when I went to Kenya for three months (where disposal of waste is an issue). It took a month or two to get used to it but now I LOVE my mooncup. It reduces the severity of the pain and works out so much cheaper. also, I can go swimming now, whatever time of the month it is! Great! One pointer. Skinny fit jeans are a bit restrictive around the legs when trying to get a good angle to 'empty'.

Louise - 14th May 2010

I bought it around a year ago. I had painful periods and bowel problems that flared up badly each month. Not to mention the enormous amounts of tampons that I used each month due to my heavy bleeding. Since using the mooncup my period pains are significantly reduced, bloating is less painful. I have had less leaks than with tampons. I even have the impression that my bowel problems are better (why I cannot fathom). I feel altogether less ill during my menstruation. In addition I am indeed feeling more "in-tune" with my body and I adore it that I am not dried up and crunchy after my period. I wish I had heard of the mooncup earlier and spared myself all the years of unhappiness.

Melanie - 10th August 2010

Hi I've only just started to use my mooncup and had to write to tell you what a difference it's made to me. My periods have been truly awful over the last 9 years or more. I've been on medications, had a scan, been offered the coil, and now I've been left to just put up with the awful pain. This month I purchased my mooncup. I'm amazed, ecstatic even! No more pain. I really can't believe it. I've been dreading every period for nearly a decade. I had to plan my life around it like it's an illness, while carrying around all kinds of pills, potions, pads and tampons - when all I needed was a little Mooncup :o) Thank you, it's like a new lease of life for me. xxx
