I have been using my Mooncup for six months and I am SO pleased with it. I never thought I'd be enthusing about period protection but it's just awesome. No more mess, fussing about, having a stack of tampon boxes staring at me in the bathroom, no dryness or having to dash to the loo. I also like that once the Mooncup is in, it's in, clean and sorted out - unless you change your tampon every time you go to the loo there's a certain ick factor there. Plus I feel more "at home" with my body. Now TV ads for tampons seem laughable - they have to use blue liquid and act like vaginas are scary. So much of advertising etc acts like women's bodies need to be cleaned up, tidied away and disinfected - scented "down there" wipes I'm looking at you. This feels much more accepting, like a real step for the normalising of the female body. Even without all that it is very liberating to walk away from the tampon aisle and not even think about when my next period is. Wish I'd had one years ago.
