When I thought about buying a Mooncup I was worried it might be messy to empty. I'm the kind of girl who wraps tissue around the tampon string before pulling in case it's dirty. In fact it's been fantastically easy and quite clean. What I hadn't appreciated was that the seal the cup forms against your skin stops any flow reaching the outside of the lower part of the cup, so removing it isn't messy at all. Only having to empty it once during the work day is life changing. I can sit through long meetings without worrying about leaking, or having to pop to the loo carrying my handbag. This is ideal for trips too - much less to pack!
