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"

At 50 years old I will soon not menstruate at all but for years I have hated the thought of my towels ending up in landfill. I care for the environment and I care for my body. The mooncup is brilliant. It even coped with my very heavy pre menaupausal periods and I never need to worry if I spend all day visiting friends or driving. No leaks, no smells, no damp 'down below'.I will certainly be recommending it to everyone I know.

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!

Hi, I live in Australia and had never heard of the mooncup before or any of it's copycat alternatives that are available out there either. I stumbled on it somewhere on the net recently. I am 50, very fit and active and probably pre-menopausal - but all my life I have hated (and suffered) with a vengeance the menstrual side of being a woman. To top it all off my best friend once almost died from TSS making me always cautious and tentative, never fully relaxing whenever I've used tampons. I would like to thank you for changing all that ....well, at least it's bearable now. I may have only 5 months or another 15 years of menstruating left in my life but at least now it's easier, carefree and certainly stressfree! I can't believe how simply and effective it is! I can't feel a thing when it's inserted ( I had to cut off three quarters of the stem.) I also have a retreverted uterus that causes my vagina to do a bit of a flip flop, and so my mooncup tends to travel upwards a bit , but that's not a problem. Your instructions and emphasis on relaxation are very accurate and helpful. Please feel free to include this letter with your other testimonials.

Have been using my mooncup for about 2 years now, have become quite attached to it, almost see it as an extension of my body. Like that it gives me more control of my periods now that the menapause has made them unpredictable.
