A friend told me about it and I was meaning to give it a go, although was put off by it's 'hippy' image i guess, until she said she hadn't looked back and the thought of using a tampon seemed really unhygienic now, so i gave it a go. Brilliant! Took a month to get used to it. Can't feel it, never leak, don't have to worry about carrying stuff, no money on tampons, environmental, less 'dragging' period pain, more comfort. Thank you!
Back in 2000 I was working for Scottish Water on a campaign to make people think before they flush sanitary items down the toilet. A visit to the waste water treatment works made me realise how many tonnes of sanitary waste were being flushed, and ending out at sea - I thought there must be a better way to deal with our monthly challenge. So I was really pleased to discover the mooncup and have been shouting about it to anyone who will listen ever since. I actually don't understand why anyone would want to use pads or tampons ever again. It is the best invention ever, so easy to use (once you get over the thought) and it saves me money! Not to mention the fact that I don't have to worry about creating extra waste which goes to landfill!
