This product has honestly changed my life. No more worrying about leaking, no more worrying about smelling, no more running out of supplies. My period is no longer the chore it used to be.

Ash - 26th May 2010

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!

Sarah Hannah - 25th February 2010

I purchased a mooncup because tampons make me itch, I also have a job that makes loo trips few and far between and have ruined many a good pair of knickers due to leakage. I have a supply of period pants, those big grey ones that wash well. I also hate the feeling of removing a dryish tampon. How miserable is all the above?? The mooncup has stopped all this, it has enhanced my life, I am a nurse and many a time grumbled under my breath that I am leaking big style whilst helping patients with their hygiene and not able to manage my own. Thank you.

Louise -

I've been using the mooncup now for almost 2 years! And I really like it for several reasons:

• 1. Other products always caused a lot of dryness&pain during and after my menstruation (which is really annoying, no riding a bicycle or having sex for 2 weeks in total...) BUT since the mooncup I haven't had those problems anymore *yay*
• 2. Easy removal & no leakage. I have a heavy flow, and I never have had a leakage with my mooncup :)
• 3. You can really see what your body does to cleanse itself. And I like to keep track how heavy my flow is, and that's really easy with a mooncup!

So, buy it! And respect nature, respect your body and no more leakages!!

Iris - 27th August 2010

Words cannot express my delight. Even if I didn't care one iota about environmental issues, I would still get this. It simply DOES NOT LEAK. Once I was brave enough to completely cut off the stem, I had ZERO problems using this from day one of my period to the end. Next month, I'm sleeping in the nude on white sheets - just because I can!

Cheron - 11th August 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

The Mooncup really did seem very daunting at first, but true to everything I read about it prior to my purchase, it really is a great deal better than towels or tampons. Using the Mooncup, I don't feel disgusting when I'm on my period, which happened all the time when I used towels. It ensures that I feel fresh and clean all the time and I couldn't be happier. It's not at all messy, unlike towels or tampons and I've had no problems with inserting or removing it. I used to always be very self-conscious on my period, but now I feel totally free and happy to wear whatever I want to without having to worry. I couldn't be happier with this product.

Louise - 3rd July 2010

I bought a mooncup recently for environmental purposes and was really nervous about using it. I just had my period and it was the best period i've ever had! The mooncup was so easy to use, so comfortable I couldn't even tell it was there, and whilst I know some people are concerned about the 'messy' aspect of using one, I actually found it a lot more pleasant than using tampons. I had no leaks whatsoever and didn't have to worry about carrying a bag full of three different types of tampons around for a week! One very happy customer. :-)

Kirsten - 16th November 2009

I can't recommend mooncups highly enough. I've been using mine for about 5 years now and the thought of going back to tampons and disposable sanitary towels disgusts me. I've NEVER had a leak with my mooncup and have happily worn it on the heaviest days with white jeans without fear of staining. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy to insert and remove and feels so much more hygienic.

Lara - 14th April 2010

I would just like to say how fab my Mooncup is. Even if you don't start using for environmental reasons, the sheer fact that it DOESN'T LEAK - at all!! - is enough for me to convert. I've got a massive stash of tampons and towels in my drawer which I promised myself I'd use up, but I can never bring myself to use either now. Please can I have some leaflets and stickers to put in the loos at work? Many thanks.

Amy -

Being an American, I bought my mooncup while I was studying abroad for a year. It has made such a difference in my life. The mooncup keeps me from having to constantly worry about leaks or sanitation. I have been using my mooncup for nearly a year now, and it is so nice to not have to dread that time of the month anymore. I highly highly recommend it to every woman that wants to have any easier time dealing with their dreaded monthly visitor!

Felicity - 3rd March 2010

I read about the mooncup online a few months ago and gave it a go as it sounded intriguing. It has completely changed my attitude to periods. In short I recommend it to everyone I know. Utterly brilliant. Ok, they are a bit more hands on than tampons but once I realised I never had any leakage it revolutionised my period. I no longer dread them and I don't have to get out the dodgy pants. Honestly, I would recommend this to any woman. And if you have a problem with the thought - then get over yourself and embrace the wonder that is the mooncup (and if you think it is too icky then think what you're doing every month with pads and tampons and move on)

rozzy - 5th April 2010

Suffering from heavy periods and clotting I had several severe leaks with tampons, as they don't absorb clots. I have found the Mooncup much better, as it catches the flow rather than absorbing - so clots are no problem. No more having to carry tampons in my handbag or having the rather icky (not to mention environmentally dubious) disposal after use. Wish I'd known about the Mooncup years ago.

Ellie - 28th December 2009

I have had my mooncup since 2004 and haven't spent money on tampons (the thought of having to use a tampon again makes me cringe) or pads since I clicked the "order" button on this website. I can't imagine how much money and hassle it has saved me. I've never had a leak or any kind of problem, I love the fact that I can put it in when I'm anticipating my period and not bleed onto my clothes and - call me gross - I love the fact that you can see what comes out of you!

Eleanor - 27th November 2009

I tried my Mooncup for the first time this week, and I'm converted already. Here's why: The Mooncup is asy to use, there were no leaks, it saves money, is better for the environment and periods don't go on for as long as they used to! I also found that it's very comfortable to wear, too. No itching/dryness with this, which is a nice surprise. Spread the word!

Beth, Manchester - 20th July 2010

I first heard about the Mooncup from my sister remarking on how "weird and gross" it sounded; but i decided to check it out anyway. After a quick google search yesterday i found your website, and far from being weird and gross, it actually sounded very ingenious. I went out today and bought a Mooncup, sterilized and inserted it straight away. And what can I say? I think this is the best £19.99 I've ever spent! Due to the birth control I use, my periods are heavy and over three times as long in duration as they used to be. When I wasn't careful in the past this has resulted in incredibly embarrassing leakage problems where I'm ashamed to say that i've had to edge backwards out of a room and run home to change my clothes... I've had the Mooncup in for 7 hours so far, it hasn't leaked and I haven't had to empty it - A miracle! And it doesn't have the same worrying problems of TSS with tampons and the unpleasant odour with pads. I can now stop clogging up the bathroom cupboard with expensive and unsatisfactory alternatives. Thank you so so much for providing these little silicon miracles!

Natalie - 6th January 2010

I tried Mooncup after seeing an advert on a toilet door advertising space. It is without a doubt one of the best things I have ever done. At first I did have reservations, but decided to give it a go... the first day I used Mooncup, I went out for the day to a Go Ape centre (aerial obstacle courses, tree climbing, crawling around, zipwires etc). I had no problems whatsoever. No leakage, no discomfort at all - it was simply brilliant. I did wear a sanitary towel as well, to be safe, but it was completely dry and clean when I went to the bathroom several hours later! I've been using it ever since. I can't recommend this product enough - I don't understand why it isn't available more in supermarkets or advertised more. It's so clean, safe, environmentally friendly, comfortable and generally brilliant! I would recommend it to anyone. N.B. I would say you need to be comfortbable with your own body and willing to insert the Mooncup manually - maybe people who are virgins or slightly more reserved may not feel comfortable with this. But anyone who has had sex or is comfortable with their own body and willing to give it a go - I say go for it. Best. Decision. Ever.

Terri - 18th February 2010

I found it hard to believe that the Mooncup could work as well as it claims to. I thought if it was that great then everyone would be using it. Now after trying it myself I cant understand why everyone isn't using it!! It is really the best thing I've bought in years. I works perfectly and is much simpler to use than I ever imagined. The instructions are very thorough and helpful with lots of diagrams and tips on fitting and cleaning your Mooncup. This product really is ideal and MUCH better than traditional tampons as they can leak easily and become uncomfortable to use. It took me a day or two to trust that the Mooncup wouldn't leak but it never has and I would seriously recommend this to all women. Brilliant product and completely happy with it.

Betty - 31st March 2010

I bought one of these last week, after all the stuff online, and I have to say I can't think of any other new product that has been such a positive experience. I knew this would change the way I deal with periods after just a couple of hours: I feel totally secure, and am no longer rushing to the loo obsessively every couple of hours, to check for leakage. Really, really impressed, and wish I'd discovered this years ago.

Caroline - 24th April 2010

Just got mine yesterday and started using it and am very happy. It was a bit tricky to start with, I had problems keeping it folded while trying to insert it, but it's quite quick to get the hang of it. Once I trimmed the stem sufficiently it was amazingly comfortable. Putting it in is a little uncomfortable, the girth even of it folded is larger than most tampons I use, but it's kinda like "Ow, ow, ahh can't feel it at all!", and once you've done that a few times it gets less uncomfortable. With tampons I can usually feel them inside and have trouble getting them in the right place, but I can completely forget this is in. I had a lot of problems with leaks with tampons as well, but I haven't had any with this at all, not even any worries about it. Swimming is a lot more worry free now as well. The other thing I love about it is that I can change it as often as I like, I know most people are joyous over not having to change it very often, but I quite like being able to take it out, empty it and pop it back in as often as I like, without having to worry about whether I have enough tampons to get away with doing that, it makes me feel more secure about leaks and such. Have just slept in it last night and for once didn't wake up repeatedly worrying if I'd leaked all over the sheets. So happy. ^_^

Flik - 9th May 2010

I've been using my mooncup for a while now and find its a perfect alternative to the horrible giant pads [that never fit my underwear] and tampons [that I consistantly leaked from]. Last month I couldn't find it the night before my period was due and I couldn't bare the idea that I would have to spend all day worrying about leaking, I was SO relieved when I found it. It really has changed my life! Periods aren't a big deal to me anymore and I don't have to worry about forgetting to carry tampons as you can put it in the day you're due on and forget about it. Get one!!

Joanna - 4th June 2010

I have been using a Mooncup for nearly 2 years now and I wont go back to tampons. I don't miss the leaks I had with tampons or the horrible smell of tampons and pads. I couldn't recommend this highly enough! It helps you be more in tune with your body and once you've got used to it (after a couple of months for me) you'll wonder how you managed without it. I can't believe people still use tampons and pads!!

Shelley - 21 December 2009

I bought a Mooncup online years ago, and it utterly revolutionised the way I felt about my body during that horrid grumpy week... which suddenly wasn't quite so horrid and grumpy anymore, and so much less stressful not worrying about leaks and whatnot, and I just felt clean and nice and normal during my period for the first time. I have no idea how or when or why, but sometime since then I reverted back to sanitary towels. Tomorrow I'm being treated to an evening at a spa - imagine my horror when my period arrived yesterday! But then I remembered my mooncup, and searched the house high and low... but to no avail, I now realise that the only reason I'd have stopped using it in the first place would be if I'd lost it, which I must have, somewhere..! And knowing there wasn't enough time to order online and have a new one delivered, I popped on here to discover if hope against hope there might be a stockist somewhere nearby... and found that Boots now sell these marvellous things! And as I type I've got my new mooncup in, just as comfy and brilliant as I remember - why oh why did I put up with disgusting sanitary towels for so long?! Thank you lovely mooncup people, for changing my life for the better, again :-)

Lucy - 27th May 2010

I love my Mooncup! After having horribly heavy periods, repeated flooding and that horrible feeling of 'have i flooded whilst sitting down and leaked everywhere' I can't praise Mooncup enough. Although initially a bit weird to get my head around, it's completely worth it, and i trust it completely on its own. I ride horses, ride bikes and swim with it in, normally tasks I wouldn't have trusted a Tampon and a Pad with. It also has really reduced my period pain. Thoroughly recommend it, especially as I can feel a little righteous that I'm being environmentally friendly too!

Felicity - 17th July 2010

Ever sinds I stoped using my contraceptive pill I have very heavy periods, 2 boxes of tampax every month. Then I discovered the mooncup by accident. It's fantastic. You put it in, no leaking, don't need any bandage to prevent leaking in my underware, no need to change every hour. And afterwards you just wash it, sterilize it in water and it's ready to use next period! This product should be distributed largely for all woman!

Bloem - 20th August 2010

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'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!

Ellie R -

I had to stop using tampons for a medical procedure a few years ago, and after few months I realised it was the tampons that had caused thrush and other problems before, so clearly I could not continue to use them. They leaked at least once a month anyway, as I have v. heavy periods, even though I had to change them every 4 hours. I disliked pads too, because of the smell and that horrible damp feeling, and there is seriously nothing worse in the summer than raising the temperature of your crotch that few extra degrees! Yuck. So I tried Mooncup partly for convenience, partly because of environmental reasons, and I have to say, I am ecstatic! Not only I cannot feel it at all, there are no leaks whatsoever, I feel completely comfortable, and period stop being dreaded, I don't mind it now. Makes me feel in control, I am always prepared and know I won't run out of pads when out and about with no money or something! I will recommend it to everyone, and buy them for my mum and my sister. I regret I didn't discover it earlier. It's the most liberating thing.

Natalia - 29th April 2010

Read about the mooncup in Cosmo, and was interested, checked out this website, bought one, used it and hey presto! Took 2 or 3 attempts to get position right, but once you get the hang ot it, so easy to use & so much more comfortable than a tampon! no leaks, no dryness. easy to use, cheaper, (I was spending the same amount as amooncup every other month!!) Wished I'd heard about them years ago!!

Sally - 31st January 2010

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!

Liz - 11th November 2009

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

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

I have used a mooncup for the last year. i decided to give it a try after seeing a mooncup sticker on a ladies loo in a motorway service station!! Also quite frankly was really fed up with how much over my lifetime (40 years & counting!) i've probably spent on tampons etc. Took a bit of getting used to but soon got the hang of it & thoroughly pleased with the product. Does what it says on the tin. Then last week horror of horrors i had my bag stolen with my mooncup in it as i was about to start my period!! So went out had to buy some tampons which really gutted me but had no choice. With the tampons I leaked and felt really uncomfortable for several days. I dont feel the need to use liners with the mooncup as i have no worry about leaking. Just wish I'd discovered it a few years earlier. I've never written anything about a product before but having had to use tampons again i realised how great the mooncup is. My replacement arrived in the post today which i was very relieved to see!!

Stella - 14th August 2010

I have been using the Mooncup for nearly three years now and I am so glad that I finally tried it. I have a retroverted uterus and have had problems with leaking tampons and heavy periods for years. The first two months I tried to use the Mooncup it did leak, because I wasn't putting it in propertly. But I persisted and I am so happy that I did. Periods come and go without much fuss nowadays. I never leak. I forget that I even have my period! It is the easiest form of sanitary protection available and once you get used to it you will never be able to go back to using tampons/towels again. I was squeamish, like some of my friends still are, when I first heard of the Mooncup. A friend had recommended that I try it at least a year before I finally bought one at a music festival. In July 2010 my mooncup will be three years old and my only wish would be that I could persuade every woman to buy one. I will buy one for my teenage daughter (as soon as she feels ready to try it). Mooncups are amazing. Please believe me. They are so convenient, simple to use and effective. I forgot to mention how much money I have saved. I gave away all my boxes of tampons after the 2nd month and since then I haven't spent any money on my sanitary protection. They are obviously environmentally sound and it can save you a fortune too! Plus, another bonus is that if you are going on holiday, by plane, train or coach, and you think that your period might be due, you can put the Mooncup in, just in case - so that you don't have any awkward travel emergencies to deal with. There are so many reasons to use them I could go on for ever. Try it, you won't regret it, honestly. Women are freer with a mooncup than with a tampon. Treat yourself, and your sisters, mum, friends, daughters... The only regret I have is that I didn't hear about them years ago.

Julie - 11th April 2010

I'm definitely a convert. I had some problems with leakage the first month but I realised in the second month that it was due to the fact that I have to use the second method of insertion and so it won't unfold by itself. I also had some problems getting it out again the first few times - it sits quite low when I first insert but then moves upwards once it's been in for a while so I'd cut the stem a bit short. Bizarrely I've found that I can get it out quite easily if I squat and use my left hand! Once you get over the teething problems the Mooncup is a revelation. Last month I was going out for the evening and thought I was about to come on. Normally I'd spend the whole evening running to the loo every ten minutes because I thought I'd come on but this time I just put my mooncup in before I went out and forgot about it. That period was also pretty heavy and normally I'd have ruined several pairs of knickers and my sheets, but with the mooncup there were no problems at all. Normally my heavy periods are pretty painful but this one wasn't too bad - it might be a psychological thing that I wasn't having to constantly think about being on my period. I also love that I can keep using it until I'm sure my period has ended - mine have a tendency to stop for a whole day and then start again with a vengeance which has resulted in some embarrassing moments. I really can't recommend the Mooncup enough. I normally dread my periods but this month I was almost looking forward to it.

Alison - 13th May 2010

I can only agree with all the other wonderful women here- MY MOONCUP IS AWESOME and has changed my perception of my period. It's no longer 'dirty' and to be thrown into one of the toxic waste bins in the women's toilets-which need special companies to come and remove them. Instead, I can now see it for exactly what it is, and it looks much 'cleaner' when it's not soaked up into an un-environmentally friendly tampon. I've not had any leaks, and after getting used to insertion and removal, I only wish I'd known about them sooner. So glad mooncup is having an advertising drive, after the recent ban of the word 'vagina' in a tampon ad in the US, it's fantastic to see the promotion of such a great alternative product here. If you haven't already...get your mooncup now :)

Rose - 19th March 2010

What do I think - well what an amazing thing the Mooncup is - I highly recommend it to all my friends and sadly tell everyone and anyone who will stand still long enough to hear about it ! No more not being able to stay over night (last minute) at friends because not having any extra period protection, instead freedom to stay over and party without fear. At a close family member's funeral I was able to grieve and to relax and not worry about leaking etc. To me the Mooncup equals freedom, and it has paid for itself time and time again - BUY ONE NOW - IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE =0)

Estrela -

I have used my mooncup for a few months now and love the freedom it provides me. No more strings dangling and leakages. I do lots of exercise and it is fantastic. I also like the way you can measure the flow. I love my mooncup.

Lizzi - 7th April 2010

I was thinking about buying a mooncup for a long long time and when I finally did.. I'm never going back to pads and tampons! It's so easy to use (prefer the fold no.2 as it's much smaller on top and easier to insert), never leaked! not even on first (heavy) days and not even after 8hours! was little bit scared of taking it out, but never had a problem with that either (no spilling, no dirty fingers). I am even looking forward to my period ;-)) The best spent money ever!!! Thank you

Vendy - 20th May 2010

I read about the mooncup yesterday and rushed out to get one in my lunchtime. I'm already very thankful I did. Since I passed 37 my periods have become very heavy and despite using the highest absorbancy tampons i was having to use a pad as well because of leakage (sometimes after only an hour!)Today - no problems at all, no leakage and great comfort. Thank you!!

LD - 8th June 2010

I was ready for some months of trial and error, but.... Just had my first Mooncup-period and I am amazed at how comfortable it was to use! I work in a hospital as an x-ray tech and I often forget to go to the toilet. Sometimes there are a lot of trauma patients to tend to or have to assist in a procedure. The Mooncup gave me immense freedom. I have experienced no leakages, just some clumsiness with tipping it in the toilet. But my technique improved each day. Thank you whoever stuck that Mooncup sticker in a ladies room! You have definitely improved my life!

Katja - 9th August 2010

I bought my Mooncup around a year ago, and after a disasterous first attempt (found it extremely painful to insert) I consigned it to the bathroom cabinet. About 4 months ago when I realised I had run out of tampons right before my period I decided to give it another try. During that first period I had a bit of leakage, found the process was messy and thought the hype around the Mooncup was exactly that. I persevered however and have used it for the past 3 periods very successfully - the key to easy insertion is to wet it first, and 'wear' it much lower inside you than you'd expect to avoid leaks. I love that I don't need to remember to buy tampons and that it needs emptying far less frequently than a tampon needs changing. I still find emptying it a bit yucky but I'm getting used to that. If you do decide to buy one, don't expect to love it straight away but do persevere.....it's definitely worth it.

Tracey - 26th June 2010

I'd wanted a Mooncup for ages, but as a 19 year old virgin who still suffers discomfort inserting and removing tampons even after several years' use I thought a cup could only be worse. However, next week I fly off to live out of a rucksack for two months, and the thought of not having to take boxes of tampons like I did the last time I went backpacking pushed me into buying one. I'll be honest - my first attempt at getting it in ended in tears of pain and frustration. But I had success the second time and once in I didn't even feel it - it was much easier than I thought it would be. My main motivation for buying one was environmental, and it feels wonderful to know I'll never contribute another tampon to landfill again. However, the fact that it's cheaper, healthier and more convenient than any other form of protection is also a bonus! I always wore pantyliners with tampons for when they started to leak but I don't need to any more. Now I'm in control!

Rebecca -

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 love love love my mooncup! I love how easy it is to use (Bit fiddly at first but I soon got used to it). I love that I dont have to carry tampons around with me any more. I love that it's environmentally better than tampons. And I've not had a single leak in 2 months use (I even wore white underwear to test it properly and not a mark). It's comfortable and clean. I wish I'd heard of it years ago. I heard about it thru word of mouth. Most of my friends had never heard of it till I told them. It should be shouted from the rooftops! Every woman should try one. I'll never go back to using tampons and pads again.

Angie - 3rd February 2010

Fantastic. I went back to tampons temporarily to finish the last box (of my life) and was so shocked to realise how uncomfortable and leaky they were!

K - 20th August 2010

I have used the Mooncup for about a year now and I have to say how liberating the experience is! I am peri-menopausal and was experiencing vaginal dryness, pain and soreness leading to an appointment at a regional GUM clinic to find the reason. Since changing over from tampons to the Mooncup my symptoms have all but disappeared! I think that I had developed some kind of allergy to the bleaching agents used in commercial tampons, although even changing over to "greener" organic 100% cotton bleach-free ones only reduced my symptoms slightly. Now I get occasional soreness and my incidence of thrush has declined to almost nothing. The other advantage to the mooncup is that I no longer have to invest in pant liners (another source of irritation) as the mooncup is leak free. In 12 months' use I have not experience an "accident". My G.P.(male) is impressed by my findings and has started promoting the use of the Mooncup in other perimenopausal women. Oh, and another plus, we have no sanitary disposal unit where I work and now I don't have to worry about the dilemma of what to do with a used tampon - we have a sink by the loo. So, thanks so much for changing my life!

I've had my mooncup just over 2 years now and have never been so pleased with a sanitary product. I always found pads really uncomfortable and with my periods varying in flow rate even over a day it's difficult to predict which tampon to use meaning I either picked one too small and could leak in less than half an hour or picked one too big and then had to drag it out almost dry, which of course leaves you feeling uncomfortable. I could also leak through a pad in less than 2 hours on a bad day!!!! The best thing about my mooncup is I can use it on a very light day or on a very heavy day. I also get a strange feeling when I know it needs to be emptied so have a lot less problems with leakage!!! I always recommend them to my friends when the topic comes up and couldn't believe it when th school nrse who was about t go and talk to a group ofgirls about menstruation had never heard of them!!!! Maybe you should promote mooncups to the health authorities as many school nurses could pass on how wonderful mooncups are!!!!!

OH MY GOD! where has this been all my life, i've used my mooncup for the first time this month, and for the first time this month, no stained panties and no leaks. this is the first product that hasn't leaked me. i couldn't underestimate how it feels to be able to wear a white skirt and pants for work on my period. i thought i would have to wait for the menopause. but thank you so much i will spred the word as much as i can!!!!!!!!!!

The Mooncup is pretty much the bst purchase I have EVER made. I used to worry about changing my tampons and leaking during my period, and always found it uncomfortable because of dryness towards the end of my period. The mooncup takes all these problems away. It takes all the worry, and hassle and fuss away. I used to wear "sensible" pants during my period, to hold a pad in place, or because I was worried about leaking. I don't have to do this anymore. I can wear whatever pants I want, and I can sleep naked like I normally do! The Mooncup is seriously one of the best inventions ever, every woman should have one. They are SO easy, and not at all disgusting.

I can honestly say that my Mooncup has changed my life! I used to dread having my period so much - with heavy bleeding, leaking, problems with tampons AND towels, it was a nightmare! I found mooncup and from the very first try, it was amazing. I cannot believe this isn't the primary product for periods! It should be! I am so grateful, I can't even express it enough in words. Prepare to have your life changed for the better!

I had wanted a mooncup for a while, but had only read the online testimonials and didn't feel like I could quite take the plunge just in case the ick-factor was too much to handle. But then a friend told me how using a mooncup had changed her life, and that actually she found it less disgusting than using tampons. So I went out and bought one and it has been FANTASTIC. I'll never go back. No leakage problems like I sometimes had with tampons and a much more manageable and comfortable period and no unattractive string. My mum has since bought one and is really happy with it, too. Everyone should get one. Seriously.

What can I say?! I've been using my mooncup for 18 months now, and if I were to choose the single greatest investment in my health, my savings, and my womanhood I've ever made - this is it. I love my mooncup! I still go shouting from the rooftops about it (Ok, not literally...). I'm willing to try most things, so when I heard about it I thought 'Oh yeah, why not?'. At first it was a bit tricky to use, and it took a couple of periods to get the hang of it, but after that it became second nature. I've been swimming in the sea, swimming at pools, to karate class in a white dogi/uniform, spent 8 days with the heaviest period I've ever had in a filthy music festival... no leaks, no spills, no cramps, no problems. It's so interesting being able to see what your body's doing too, as weird as that may sound - I'm a naturopath so I suppose I have that bias - but it makes things so much more useful, especially for things like fertility watching and monitoring, or if you're ever at the gynae. I can't believe how much money I've saved already, and how easy it is to use. You could almost forget it's there - no smelly tampons to deal with or nasty pads sitting in your knickers, no sneaking off with a tampon in your hand at work, no cramps, no dryness, no infections, no problems, and nothing polluting this beautiful planet. It's perfect! See how I go on and on?! Once again - Thank You!! x

Bought and used my mooncup last Saturday and I love love love it, like most woman I had heard about it previously and had thought to myself no way will I be using one of them!!! However after having children my periods have gone super heavy and super plus tampons dont even last an hour, with an 8 hour shift in work looming I didnt want to be nipping to loo every 5 mins, I had more recently changed my thoughts on mooncups and had been reading this site and the testimonials, so I decided to just go for it, I had no issues inserting and havent found it messy, I had one mishap where I lifted the full cup to look and somehow managed to tip it over my pyjamas LOL. I have had no leaking no dryness and no thrush as well as being kind to the environment and I'm also thinking of all the money I will save myself I was forever buying new knickers after yet again flooding this time it was clean all the way through. Thank you mooncup

Well, what can I say? The mooncup is absolutely fantastic - for the first time ever I've had a comfortable and stress-free period. It probably sounds like I'm exaggerating, but I haven't had to worry about leaks, or whether I have enough sanpro with me. In fact, I almost forgot I was on my period. I really wish I'd tried it sooner.

One day into using my mooncup and I can't believe I'm in love with a piece of silicon. I can't explain how much I hate using pads; the inability to do sports, the leaks, the odour. And while tampons are ok, my period is crazy and either really heavy and I have to change my tampon every 2 hours or leak, or so little that I dry up. I think the mooncup is the best thing I've bought in my entire life! Thankyou!

Bee - 18th July 2010

Fantastic! All that worry about leakage, that I had with tampons and towels, has gone. And it feels better too. Just what I needed.

Time to stop dithering and buy one! I heard about Mooncups a couple of years ago on a parenting forum I belonged too. I was really intrigued by the idea of them but ended up not getting one after dithering over it for a while. I recently saw a sticker in the toilets at my gym which reminded me about them so I visited the website. I’ve experienced all the usual problems with my periods in the past – heavy, painful, irregular, always getting leaks (so ending up wearing tampons AND a pad all the time). The usual suspects. I also suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome which is worse when I have my period and I’ve always felt was exasperated by wearing tampons. Also, because my periods were unpredictable (sometime really heavy, sometimes light) I always had to have several different absorbencies of tampon at home (bumping up the cost, not to mention the storage room!). This month I’d finally had enough and figured it was worth giving the Mooncup a try, it couldn’t be any worse after all! All I can say is – WOW! Why oh why did I not buy one of these before? I could have saved myself years of hassle! It’s completely comfortable, easy to get in and out (once you get the hang of it), really easy to clean and best of all I haven’t had a single leak. The first day I wore my Mooncup I had a two hour karate class (something I normally dread when I’m on my period) and it withstood the session (including kicking drills and a 20 minute yoga cool down (lots of stretching and wriggling about) with absolutely no problems. A miracle! I think the Mooncup has pretty much revolutionised how I think about my period. I’ll never buy another disposable sanitary product again! If you’re still dithering and unsure as to whether it’s for you my advice is to stop dithering and go buy one right now! I tell you, you won’t regret it. The best £20 I’ve spent in a long time. I love my Mooncup!

Just tried it for the first time this week. Brilliant! No leaking, and it's really comfortable. I've been swimming twice and running a lot - no problems. Will spread the word!

Gillian - 21st May 2010

I bought a Mooncup after suffering from recurring thrush for a year. At first I bought size A because I'm 6 months from being 30 but realised I only needed size B. It is incredible, I put it in first thing in the morning and don't worry about it until four or five hours later. I never leak and I don't worry about leaking, it's fantastic! I can't believe it took me so long to find out about this product. I will not be going back to tampons.

Caroline - 19th August 2010

I've just started using a mooncup, I'd been curious about it for some time and was becoming increasingly frustrated with tampons and towels due to leaking and the inconvenience of having to change them often. Despite reading the website I was still quite unsure of what to expect with the mooncup, and I have to say I was a little sceptical - could a product work as well as people claimed it did? Now coming to the end of my first period using my mooncup, I can say that it is probably the best thing I've ever bought, and my only regret is having 8 years of periods without it! It was surprisingly easy to get used to using, very comfortable, and I've experienced no leaks at all. What I've been most surprised about however is how hygienic it feels. I'm somewhat overly hygiene concious and thought I would find it felt 'dirty' to some degree, but that was totally wrong, using it feels very clean and the thought of now going back to tampons and towels is what seems dirty and unpleasant to me now! You can tell that this is a product designed by women as it really does cater so well to our needs. I'd never go back now and I'm definitely going to be spreading the word!

This is such a fantastic product. I have been wanting to try one for a while, so impulsively purchased one the other day when my period started whilst out and about. I must admit, I was a little grossed out at first handling the cup, but once I became comfortable with the whole process (inserting and removing)it has become absolutely fascinating. I now have the ability to monitor my period right the way through, which is a comfort as it's great being able to see just how it's all functioning "down there". For the first time ever I haven't had ANY leaks during my period, which is an absolute godsend! No more ruined underpants! and it's amazing not having to wear a pad to bed! It also definitely goes without saying the environmental benefits of the Mooncup are just excellent, I feel just a little bit better about my impact on the world. I will definitely be raving about the Mooncup to my female friends and family (as soon as I can find an appropriate moment to mention it!)
